Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 273:

Zola’s brow furrowed deeply. “I know I shouldn’t have gone after Eileen like that. There were times when I even thought about leaving with you. But you’re so incredible. How could I ask you to give up everything for me? I’m also furious that Bryan dragged you into this mess because of Eileen. That’s why I shouldn’t have done it. If Benita exposes me, Bryan might end up hating me, too.” Her expression still carried that serene determination to do what was best for everyone.

Despite her confession of scheming against Eileen to protect Kian, she was honest about everything else. Kian was touched, his head muddled by her protectiveness, unable to distinguish truth from lies. He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle Benita. You shouldn’t do such things again. Bryan’s infatuated with Eileen. If he discovers it was you, escaping unscathed will be difficult.” He was already burdened by Bryan’s antics. What hope did Zola, a woman of no significant background, really have?

As he promised to deal with Benita, Zola could almost see what was going to happen. A flicker of disdain crossed her eyes, but she quickly masked it by pulling Kian into an embrace, pressing her lips to his. “Kian, you’re too kind to me…”

One from Zola, and Kian felt the early morning vitality surge through him. One time was not enough for him. However, Zola feigned discomfort, worried about Benita taking action. Kian, still full of desire, reluctantly got dressed.

He left Zola to rest at his place as he set out to see Benita. Standing outside Benita’s apartment, he lit a cigarette, his mind racing. He was well aware of Benita’s character and what he needed to offer to enlist her assistance. If not for the anticipation of another intimate encounter with Benita, he would not have held back while in bed with Zola earlier. His possessiveness toward Zola surged uncontrollably at times.

After smoking his cigarette, he tossed the butt, exited the car, and approached the door. When Benita saw Kian on the security screen, her spirits lifted instantly. Dressed only in a lace camisole, she hurried downstairs to let him in, skipping her bra and leaving little to the imagination under the sheer fabric. Kian averted his eyes, visibly disgusted.

“What’s the matter? Feeling shy?” Benita mocked, stepping back. “Since you’ve already come here, forget about leaving. Come in!”

With a grimace, Kian stepped into her apartment. Benita wrapped her arms around him from behind, her fingers wandering across his body, lingering at his belt before she started to unbuckle it and slide her hand further down. Kian swiftly caught her wrist to stop her.

Benita asked, “Why the charade? You’re here to sleep with me, aren’t you? I have no patience for games.” She shook off his hand and continued, pressing her body against Kian’s back. She noticed his tension and whispered softly, “This must be wonderful,” pulling eagerly upstairs.

“My room has everything you need. See, the bed is suspended, there’s ample space in the bathroom, and the carpet and sofa are so inviting. We could explore them right?” she suggested.

Kian glanced around the areas Benita mentioned. Her wildness was unmistakable. She was nothing like Zola. Deep down, he felt a strong resistance but remained silent.

“You understand why I’m here, right?” Kian said. Benita settled onto the sofa, her nightgown slipping to reveal her black lace underwear. Unbothered, she fixed a seductive look on Kian. “You came here for Zola, didn’t you? I’m curious; why go through all this for her? Are you trying to help her marry Bryan? Or perhaps you’ve struck a deal with the cunning elders of the Dawson family?”

She wouldn’t believe that Kian would undermine Bryan and Eileen simply because he had feelings for Zola. After all, that made no sense.
