It was a relationship where they were supposed to use each other. But now- “Commander, your wife is having a private dinner with the CEO of a technology company. During the dinner, he held her hands and tried touching her waist.” “Directly leak their company secrets and sink their stocks.” An angry voice replied. “Commander, the Co-CEO of a startup company sent a room worth of roses to your wife’s office.” “It seems he no longer wants to live. Directly buy out the other shares and oust him from his position. Go and order enough roses to fill up every room in her office.

I’m contracted to love, protect, and cherish you. Let me show you how much.”
Plot (1)
POV Celeste Valentine
When I woke up, my head was pounding, my eyes felt puffy, and the space beside me on the bed was completely empty.
"Richard?" I called out while looking around, but the room was completely silent with nobody in sight. When I checked, there was no message on my phone as well.
"Well, I guess I can take a bath since he's not here."
I ran the water to a hot temperature, sighing as I slipped inside. Yesterday had been… a lot. Remembering my activities in the hot tub with Richard yesterday, I could feel my face turn red in embarrassment.
What had I been thinking?
I couldn't even blame it on the champagne or being seduced, I had wanted to be held by him. To kiss him.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. You're not supposed to be tempted, Celeste. This is a business relationship. Nothing more." Regardless of what he told me. Even if he liked me, even if he was interested. I wasn't in a position to be worrying about romance.
