Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Mikayla thought, 'Reward, huh? Seriously? It's been a long day today. I racked my brain, so I'm exhausted. And you dare to ask for a reward? You're over 30 but still so shameless!'

"Well, didn't I do well today? I even made sure Mom and Dad didn't disturb you. Shouldn't you be grateful and give me a little reward?" Carlos leaned casually against the doorframe, exuding an effortless elegance and nobility. Again, Mikayla thought, 'So that's why Garrett and Selena hadn't been around at the Ludwig mansion all afternoon. It was his doing.'

At that thought, Mikayla opened the door, leaned in, and planted a kiss on Carlos' cheek. It was a small token of appreciation.

She thought he was deserving of this kiss.

"Is that all?" Carlos' gaze lingered on Mikayla's rosy lips, clearly indicating he expected more.

'This man... Mikayla thought.

Mikayla bit her lip, then tilted her head up, aiming for his lips.

But Carlos was faster, eagerly capturing her lips in a passionate kiss, his heart swelling with satisfaction.

The kiss grew wilder and more demanding.

Soon, a simple kiss wasn't enough.

Before Mikayla could fully grasp what was happening, Carlos lifted her into his arms and strode toward their bridal bed, ignoring her feeble protests. He gently placed her on the bed and leaned over her, his imposing figure casting a shadow. Mikayla's handbag was snatched from her grip and tossed aside in an arc.

"My dear Mika, you were truly impressive today," Carlos murmured, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Reconsider now, if you want to," Mikayla warned.

"All I want right now is to conquer you in bed." Carlos smirked.

Mikayla was left speechless.
