The villa had been wrecked by Stephanie’s gas accident. The kitchen on the first floor, and even the living room, was almost unrecognizable. Richard had taken her to another manor.

Stephanie was impossible to deal with, and Richard had no choice but to keep an eye on her.

When Stephanie finally dragged herself out of the shower, exhausted from the chaos, all she wanted was to sleep. But instead, she found Richard sitting on the bed, holding a book.

Stephanie’s face twitched. “What do you want?” she asked.

Richard sighed. “What do you think? I’m watching you myself.” He shook his head. She was trouble, and he was afraid she’d blow through every property he owned.

Stephanie glanced around the room. There was a couch, but it looked cramped. ‘Is he seriously suggesting I sleep on that? He’s being so unreasonable,‘ she thought.

“Why are you just standing there?” Richard said, his tone impatient. “Get in bed. Aren’t you tired?”

Stephanie’s eyes widened. “What?” she said, incredulous. “Sleep in the same bed with you?”

Richard shrugged. “Consider it a little bonus for you,” he said with a smirk.

“Wow, thanks,” Stephanie replied, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She didn’t want this “bonus” at all.

“You leave, and I won’t make a fuss, okay?” she said, trying to find a way out. “Just give me some space.”

Richard chuckled. “If you’d been this cooperative from the start, we wouldn’t have had so many problems.*

Stephanie was speechless. ‘Who could stay calm when they were kidnapped? No way,‘ she grumbled in her mind.

Richard chuckled again. “Too bad it’s too late now. I don’t trust you.”

Stephanie’s face burned with anger. She clenched her teeth and shot Richard a glare.

Richard watched her for a moment, then pulled back the blanket, got out of bed, and walked straight toward her.

Stephanie instinctively stepped back, but in the next instant, Richard grabbed her pajama collar with a rough hand. There was a tearing sound as the silk ripped and a button flew off.
