Chapter 2

Three years later, a stunning woman opened her eyes slowly as she stretched her arms in a big, soft bed.

While Xyla Quest could feel an aching sensation in her body, she heard running water from the bathroom. Through the frosted glass, she could vaguely see a person’s figure moving around in the bathroom.

After stretching her arms yet again, Xyla murmured, “Hmm… Georgie, what time is it now? Why does my body hurt all over?”

Xyla sounded very soft, almost as if she were like a marshmallow.

Creak.

When the bathroom door was opened, a tall man appeared before her.

With only a white towel wrapped around his lower body, his muscular chest, sexy eight-packs, and perfectly firm abs were fully visible.

Meanwhile, droplets of water that slowly slid down his neck made him look even more alluring.

Such a perfectly sculpted face without a hint of warmth in his cheeks made the man feel very unapproachable.

Despite being the apex of beauty in humanity, he was also far unreachable.

Xyla suddenly thought of the phrase, “A beautiful person is like god’s gift to earth. While the man owns 70% of all beauty, the remaining 30% of beauty is spared for all humankind.”

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Xyla asked with a frown while she frightfully pulled the duvet tightly over her body.

While the man raised his brows, he began approaching her and looked down at her arrogantly. “Shouldn’t you ask yourself that question first?”

It was impossible to gauge his current emotion from his eyes. There was a strong aura of oppression that came from his body.

Hearing this, Xyla immediately ran through the possible scenarios in her head before a sense of shame washed over her as she realized what must have happened.

This was all her fault!

Drinking really did cause her problems! Was this a form of inter-marital cheating?

Although Xyla had been married for two years, she still did not know what her husband looked like.

However, their relationship was real, and so was the promise they made in the past.

Last night, Xyla Quest and Georgie Clementine had a little too much to drink at the bar. Since they were unable to drive after drinking too much, they decided to get a room upstairs.
