Chapter 3

Shelina's heart leaped for joy when he kissed her.

He began to move slowly tasting, wetting, and sucking her lips, and the lips were not silent.

Shelina dozed off and wrapped her arms around Marcus' neck, drawing him closer so he could respond.

Shelina was being swept away by such incredible tenderness.

Shelina became even more addicted to his thick lips and continued sucking, mixing their saliva in a soft kiss that gradually became more demanding until it was passionate.

They tasted and shared saliva for a long time until the pressure of the lungs, which required oxygen, made Shelina realize she needed to stop this hot kiss.

He, like Shelina, was gasping for air while hunting.

They demonstrate their passion by exchanging long, passionate kisses.

Marcus reached out slowly to touch Shelina's chin.

His thumbs moved to wipe their saliva away from her lips.

His gaze remained fixed on Shelina, making her fall even deeper in love with him.

Her smile was stunning and captivating.

Shelina's heart never stops racing whenever his beautiful and lethal smile appears.

Shelina never looks at any other men besides herself.

Only he, only Marcus is the man shelina wants in this world.

"Let's go home. It's very late." His hand caressed her brow.

The woman snorted softly, recalling her frustration while waiting for Marcus.

"Who arrived late?

It stinks, "Shelina mumbled softly as she cleared her bag and belongings from the table.

When Shelina stood up straight, Marcus grabbed her hand tightly.

dragging the woman out of the campus library.

°°°•°•°°°

Shelina was awakened from her long reverie by a hard enough shock on the shoulder.

Surprised by the gathering of consciousness, his body twitched slowly.

Someone beside him said, "Shelina."

Shelina turned to face Andrew's worried expression.

Shelina responded to his call with a slow nod.

After that, take a quick look around.

Andrew's car had stopped in front of Shelina's apartment building, and the two of them were in it.

"Are you all right?"

With only a nod of Shelina's head, Andrew asked, worried and dissatisfied.

He demanded a response from the woman.

"Yes, I'm fine," Shelina replied with a small smile, wiping away the worries and concerns that were visible on her face.

Andrew placed his hand on Shelina's shoulder and turned her body to face him. Their eyes met.

"Don't pay attention to what Marcus said earlier. He was simply taken aback because you are so much younger than him."

Andrew spoke softly, his eyes filled with love and understanding.

"Yes," she said slowly and nodded.

Marcus was understandably taken aback.

They haven't seen one another in five years.

And their first meeting was hilarious.

Previously, their relationship was that of lovers, but now our relationship is nothing more than that of a future stepson and his stepmother.

"Marcus is, indeed, a cold and hard boy. He is, however, a good boy. I'd love him. I hope you love him as much as I do."Andrew explained softly, hoping that Shelina would understand Marcus's cold and cruel demeanor.

"He hates me," shelina admitted, surprised by the words that came out of her mouth.

"Sssttt. He does not despise you. He simply hasn't accepted your presence."

Andrew refuted Shelina's assertions.

"He disagrees with me—" Andrew's words cut Shelina off in the middle of her sentence.

"We'll still be married in two months, so don't worry. With or without Marcus's permission."

Andrew's eyes convinced Shelina, and his hand gently touched and rubbed the woman's head.

Hopefully, all of Shelina's anxiety will subside and he will be able to persuade her of his serious intention to marry her.

"Please come in. It's already past midnight. You must get up very early tomorrow to pack the items you will be bringing." Gently coax Andrew.

Shelina slowly nodded. Surrender, Shelina doesn't want to contradict his words any longer.

Is Shelina's decision, despite her heart's reservations, the right one?

Is Shelina certain she'll marry him in two months?

Andrew is a good man; he adores her, and she adores him as well.

But, for the time being, Shelina is unable to love Andrew because her heart has been broken by another man, his son, Marcus Herbert.

Shelina recalled her first meeting with Andrew.

Approximately six months ago

~~~January 2015~~~

Shelina's left cheek was smacked hard. So spicy and hot. Shelina's cheeks were flushed. A fiery throbbing pain. Her hand slowly touched the painful and hot left cheek.

"You filthy wuss!" Shelina turned around because of a woman's loud swearing.

A middle-aged woman with luxury goods adorning her body stood before Shelina. With a glum and angry expression on her face. The middle-aged woman's eyes burned brightly.

"You have no right to tease my husband. You filthy wuss!"

She yelled shrilly until tens of pairs of eyes locked on us. Everyone is focused on the chaos that will ensue as the DJ's music stops. The heat on her cheeks roused Shelina; this was not the time for her to remain silent. Shelina is a prostitute, but she never seduces her husband.

Shelina was hired by the man himself.

"Be careful what you say, madam."

Shelina stood up straight.

Standing in front of that haughty and arrogant middle-aged woman.

"Will you watch my mouth?"

The middle-aged woman raised one of her brows, mocking Shelina.

"There is nothing incorrect in what I said. You are a slut, a bitch who sells her body to anyone."

"Seduces rich men with your body," the mistress scoffed, mocking Shelina's efforts.

"I am, indeed, a bitch. But I never tried to seduce your husband. He was the one who approached me and persuaded me to serve him. Don't blame me if he's attracted to me, but consider why he'd look at a young girl like me. It's because you're no longer attractive. Your face is wrinkled, and your chest is not as tight as mine. So it's not me who seduces your husband, but you who can't satisfy him anymore."

Shelina smiled happily because everything she said was true.
