The woman who never cared for makeup now wore it flawlessly. The one who dressed exclusively in somber colors now shimmered in a vibrant gown…

For the first time, Geoffrey realized his wife possessed this hidden facet.

He watched her approach, his Adam Roberts’s apple bobbing faintly.

Stopping half a meter away, Maureen spoke evenly: “Good evening, Sir.”

Geoffrey froze.

Before he could react, her eyes swept the room.

“Are you the auction organizer?

I’m here to pay and collect my items.”

Geoffrey’s expression darkened instantly.

He rose, his imposing frame blocking most of the light as he loomed over her. “Who do you think I am?” His voice was low, edged with gravel.

“Who are you?

Geoffrey choked back his next words.

An icy aura radiated from him. “You don’t recognize me?”

Maureen’s pupils contracted sharply.

Before she could react, Geoffrey’s rough kiss swept over her.

Her breath caught as she struggled in panic.

But Geoffrey pinned her firmly against him, his large hand covering the skin of her back, his bold movements grow- ing bolder.

She’d thought she could pretend nothing happened, but she failed.

A film of tears clouded her eyes. Unable to hold back, she slapped Geoffrey hard across the cheek.

“Show some restraint!”
