Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 244

Bryce slipped Whitney a note. “Give it a shot. Ms. Melford’s been dodging us for years, scared she’ll drag us down. Her whole family’s been like ghosts in Banyan City ever since that man flew into a rage, and the whole town turned against them. They’ve had it rough.”

Whitney’s eyes reddened slightly. After Bryce left, she immediately made a call, her heart pounding anxiously as she waited for someone to pick up. But no one did.

Back in the day, the Melfords were not aristocracy, but they were filthy rich. Tiana had been burdened by her, giving birth to a child of uncertain origin, wrecking her life!

This was Whitney’s deepest grudge.

Holding the note, Whitney spent a sleepless night.

Come morning, Elaine woke up in the arms of a man.

Feeling his powerful breaths and sculpted chest muscles, she blushed, and her heart raced, craving to possess him.

But she could not get close…

What woman could stand it?

She bit her lip, hidden beneath the covers, and, full of expectation, turned over to plant a kiss on his abs, her hand slowly…

“Elaine, what are you doing?” The man’s voice, groggy and irresistibly husky, carried a chilling edge as his hand firmly grasped hers.

With flushed cheeks, Elaine bit her lip and looked up, her face flushed with a rosy fragrance. “Ludwik, I’ve been reading some books. They say men are spirited in the morning. Why don’t we give it another try? Otherwise, when will we get married and have another baby?”

Her urgency was palpable as she clung to his chest, unwilling to let go.

Ludwik opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling as if in a daze.

After a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and, unable to refuse her any longer, he rolled over, his arm encircling her.
