Chapter 199

I remember that it was indeed Artemis who lay beside me before I lost consciousness. Cadence has no reason to trick me, nor would he possibly do so. As such, the person who bedded me must have been Artemis. There's no doubt about it! But where is he? Why don't I see him upon waking? Could it be that he woke up before me and left furtively? Also, didn't Mom say she'd bring some people over to catch us in bed and have a few wealthy ladies as witnesses? Where is she?

As all those questions lingered in her mind, Rhonda propped her elbows against the bed and sat up.

The instant she lowered her eyes, she glimpsed the bruises littering her body. At once, a feeling of bliss suffused her.

I just knew that he was a virile man, especially at such a time... From the marks on my body, I can tell how powerful he is! Sure enough, Cadence's drug is effective. No matter how strong Artemis' willpower was, he ultimately had to submit to me docilely. I've finally become his woman! And soon, I'll give birth to a healthy child for the Luther family, an heir with my blood flowing through his veins!

Bang!

The room door was pushed open, and Beatrice barged in from outside.

Startled, Rhonda quickly reached out and snagged the blanket at the side, wrapping it around her naked body.

When she had made out the person who came in, she questioned with a frown, “Why did you only come now, Mom?”

As Beatrice panted, she answered intermittently, “Something came up, and I was delayed for half an hour. How did things progress on your side? Where's Artemis? Why is he not here?”

Glowering at her, Rhonda huffed, “Why do you think? I threw myself at him, and he took me, but you never came with those few wealthy women.”

Immediately, delight showed on Beatrice's face. “He took you? The two of you really slept together?”

Upon seeing that she didn't quite believe it, Rhonda yanked the sheets off herself, revealing the bruises on her body.

Then, she crowed triumphantly, “All these bruises were courtesy of him. I'm still in much pain right now, especially down there. Could it be fake?”
