Maureen instinctively stepped back: “First, you know Andrea and I don’t get along. Why would I ask her for ten bil- lion to sell you?

Besides, when your mother offered me a check before, I refused. Why would I stir up trouble now?”

Geoffrey heard her out but didn’t buy it.

He knew Andrea wouldn’t have staged today’s scene willingly–the only explanation was Maureen discovering An- drea’s schemes.

Still, he didn’t call Maureen out.

“Anything else?”

Maureen was now pinned against the wall.

Geoffrey watched her cautious posture, his Adam’s apple bobbing faintly.

The memory of that intoxicating, bone–melting ecstasy when he’d claimed her nearly shattered his self–control.

“How’s the money coming along?”

Maureen hadn’t expected him to demand repayment so soon: “It’s not ready yet.”

“Then why not consider my proposal?”

Geoffrey’s breathing grew heavy: “We’re married after all. If you fulfill your wifely duties, returning the dowry won’t be necessary.”

Wifely duties?

As an adult, how could Maureen not grasp his implication?

Her face burned crimson. Before she could speak, Geoffrey’s scorching palm cupped her cheek, slowly stroking it.

“How about a hundred million per session?”

Maureen’s mind exploded.

A hundred million per session?

What kind of woman did he think she was?

Memories flooded back–their first time, when he’d overpowered her resistance
