Chapter 1

That night, Sheena Lawson could not sleep well and felt someone pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.

He started to pant, and then she felt an unbearable pain between her legs.

Realizing what was happening, Sheena opened her eyes in terror and saw a man’s figure looming over her.

“Elijah? I–is that you?”

The man who reeked of alcohol grunted a simple response, then continued pounding on her.

Hearing the familiar voice, Sheena let out a sigh of relief. As she responded to his advances, she gradually got into the rhythm and could not help but let out a tender moan.

As his movements intensified, Sheena gritted her teeth and endured the pain, completely immersing herself in the act. However, she was also unwittingly enjoying herself.

After three years of marriage, her husband, Elijah Freeman, finally made love to her!

Elijah never paid much attention to Sheena because their marriage was forced onto him by his grandfather, Sebastian Freeman.

Nonetheless, Sheena did not care why Elijah changed his mind. She was simply overjoyed that they finally consummated their marriage.

Two hours later, Elijah groaned and slumped over her out of exhaustion.

The moonlight shone through the window, illuminating his perfect figure.

Listening to his fast heartbeat, Sheena could not believe what had just happened.

If it was a dream, she did not want to wake up from it.

Sheena wrapped her hands around Elijah’s neck. She was completely infatuated with him. She then murmured as she was still gasping for air, “Elijah, Elijah, I really…”
