Chapter 33

"I can only do my best to help you when you're working on business deals. Beyond that, I don't dare have any unrealistic fantasies about you." As I was speaking, I suddenly felt Virio's hand cupping my face.

He held my face with one hand and suddenly pulled me toward him.

The two of us kissed deeply like that.

In that moment, all those thoughts about my family and everything else that had been weighing on my mind suddenly seemed unimportant.

I kept leaning closer and closer.

Actually, at that point, words had become unnecessary for us.

I just lost myself in his kiss.

We had been sitting close together, but after a while, Virio suddenly picked me up.

He carried me to the window and said to me, "From now on, you're going to live here with me."

"Even after all the problems are solved, I still want you living here with me, understand!"

His domineering possessiveness made my face flush red.

I could feel my face burning. Looking at Virio in front of me, I couldn't bring myself to say no.

Because this was what I had longed for all along.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered softly in his ear, "Okay, I'm willing to stay with you forever. Even if I can't be openly recognized as your partner, I'm still willing to stay here with you."

But I would never give up my principles.

"I still need to continue investigating my family's affairs and go after Killian, but I can promise that without your permission, I won't go out and take risks on my own again."

Virio was clearly very satisfied with how obedient I was being.

"Now, unbutton your shirt yourself." His command made even my ears burn.

Virio held me, letting me curl up on the windowsill.

Facing him, I slowly unbuttoned my buttons, one by one going down.

When my bra was exposed in front of Virio, his eyes immediately turned red.

Before I could say anything, Virio suddenly leaned toward me, roughly tore off my bra, and kissed me forcefully.

He bit down on the pink bud on my chest.

I wasn't prepared, and when he suddenly took it in his mouth like that, I almost screamed out loud.

Then remembering I was by the window, I quickly covered my mouth.

But Virio seemed to chuckle softly, kissing me while saying unclearly, "Don't worry, even if you cry out here, no one will hear you."

But I still bit my lip hard.

The window was still open. I was facing Virio, and from a distance, no one could tell what we were doing.

Virio held me tighter and tighter, until finally he turned me around. I panicked and covered my chest. "Don't..."

I just heard the man laugh quietly, then pull me to the side.

I could feel a breeze coming through the window, and the two of us were against the wall next to the window, as if having an affair.

This thrilling feeling made my body more sensitive than ever before.

So when Virio suddenly sped up his movements, I couldn't control myself and cried out.

I tried to cover my mouth, but Virio grabbed both my hands. He took off his tie and wrapped it around my wrists, binding them together.

With my hands restrained, I couldn't cover my mouth anymore, and my moans gradually grew louder.

I kept calling out Virio's name.

Virio seemed very moved too, moving while leaning down to kiss me.

This time I could feel that our union had more intimate emotion compared to before.

Mixed with the feelings of surviving danger, of loss and recovery, all sorts of complex emotions...

This made me hold him tighter and tighter.

Even though his movements were so intense I could barely take it, I was willing.

Finally Virio collapsed on top of me, his breathing gradually becoming rapid, and I also moved forcefully to meet him.

After it was over, Virio carried me to take a bath.

We lay quietly in the bathtub, and Virio suddenly said to me, "You know what? I'm not actually like you think, with lots of women."

Charles had mentioned this to me before, and even Luca had brought it up jokingly.

But I hadn't believed it at all back then.

I was just about to ask him more about this topic when Virio's phone rang.

This inevitably disappointed me a bit.

Virio glanced at me, picked up his phone and answered the call. I knew I should give him privacy at this moment, so while he was on the phone, I wrapped myself in a towel and left.

There was so much behind Virio.

He represented many things and had crushed many things under his feet.

This sudden phone ring interrupted some of my fantasies.

Although the two of us could open our hearts to each other and weren't exactly strangers, still...

Before I uncovered the truth about what happened back then and successfully got revenge on Killian, I was still just a discarded daughter of the Lacey family!

After thinking through all this clearly, I lay in bed and gradually fell asleep.

The next day I went to the company.

I had just gotten back to the company when I heard footsteps in the distance. Then I saw Killian and Freya standing together.

They seemed to be talking about something. Freya's face was full of panic, and as she spoke, she covered her mouth, looking like she was about to cry.

Just then, as if sensing something, Killian suddenly turned around. Seeing it was me, his expression changed several times.

Then he walked straight toward me. "Elvira, where have you been these past few days?"

I thought carefully. After I went to Floridia, I was taken directly back to Virio's place, and two or three days had passed.

During those two or three days, I hadn't had any contact with the Lacey family.

But I had made a few phone calls with my assistant Sebastian.

In front of Killian, I still acted as if nothing had happened. "I went to work on a business deal. Why?"

Actually, there was no need to have a showdown yet.

Charles had told me that he'd helped create a fake itinerary for me these past few days.

For the sake of our cooperation, now wasn't the perfect time to lay everything out.

If Killian insisted on bringing up Virio in front of Freya, causing unnecessary jealousy, then I'd have no choice but to confront them.

But clearly Killian was still wary of Virio.

Faced with my casual brush-off, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't expose me. "Why did you move out?"

I had thought Freya didn't know about this, but the next second she glared at me. "Where else could it be? The whole social circle is talking about how Elvira has become Mr. Soren's plaything!"

Since Freya put it that way, I wasn't going to be polite anymore. "Freya, I didn't want to say this in front of you. But since you already know, there's no need for me to hide it from you."
