The smoke in Nick Cage’s cigarette has been extinguished in the ashtray.
Then, Veronica Parker was caged to the arms of Nick Cage. She stood stupefied in front of him as his sudden action made her completely confused.
She looked up in horror at his deep black eyes. Veronica was short of breath and her chest undulated.
The plate in her hand fell on the ground causing a loud shatter. What she didn’t expect is when she was carried by Nick.
Veronica can’t believe his strength. This man pulled her over with one hand, and her strength is too great! Nick carried her as if she was just as lightweight as paper.
“Where do you want to go without my permission?” Nick Cage looked at her dangerously as she was wrapped around by his embrace.
Veronica Parker sat on Nick’s sturdy leg. She wasn’t completely seated, her half body laid on Nick’s chest.
When Veronica heard Nick’s low voice, she desperately struggled to free herself.
However, compared to her strength and Nick’s side, her power was like a drop of water that fell into the sea. Barely made a ripple and instantly swallowed up, disappeared without a trace.
The gap between the strong and the weak is obvious.
“Mr. Cage, let me go and let me out.” Veronica Parker is so afraid of him that she doesn’t want or dare to be near him. She doesn’t want to take the danger of intimacy.
Nick clasped her chin with one hand. “Now, you don’t want to know why?”
Veronica was stupefied. She looked at him as she was oppressed by Nick’s suffocating hug.
This kind of aggression seemed to worsen at any time.
The thought in her mind turned into a frenzy, and she asked herself just now. ‘Why not let myself resign and leave?’
“Let’s make a deal.”
“What?”
“You will be my woman, and I’ll give you everything you want in return. Money, power, or whatever you want, just name it.” Nick’s rough and callous fingers slightly rubbed the delicate skin of her chin. His light touch tickled her skin which was so seductive that it seemed to lure his prey into his trap.
Veronica Parker at him. Her clear eyes glowed gently, bright as if there was a layer of water mist that glistened deep within. “I don’t want your money.”
Nick was surprised by her answer. His offer is a temptation that no woman could resist. Any woman would even kneel to thank him, but she won’t. Because of her unusual response, Nick was quite intrigued.
“Is that your trick?” Nick’s obsidian eyes narrowed slightly which was extremely dangerous to look at.
“I just think that’s unfair.” Veronica suddenly laughed as she carefully changed the subject. “0therwise, why don’t you give me the money and I won’t be your woman?”
“I don’t do business at a loss.” The voice of Nick faintly sounded in her ears as it oppressed her heart.
“That’s right! Since we both don’t want to lose money, let’s not trade!” Veronica looked at him with sparkles in her eyes.
“How dare you resist?” Nick squinted his dark eyes.
All of a sudden, Veronica felt lightheaded and was thrown on the sofa.
She gave out a soft cry as Nick hovered on top of her.
Just then, his shadow covered her that made her stare at him with surprise. She was so nervous that she stopped breathing. “Mr. Cage, calm down.”
Her chin was grabbed tightly, and the aura he exuded was condescending. Veronica was well aware that Nick was dangerous and terrible. “Those who dare to disobey me will not come to a good end. Do you want to try it?”
“No! That’s a no brainer. I think it’s too easy to get money and power without any problem because of you. In that case, it won’t have a sense of achievement.” Veronica reasoned out as her body quivered under his cover.
Nick Cage was like a beast ready to attack, while Veronica is a prey who shuddered under him.
“Do you think it’s easy to be my woman?” Nick asked. He looked at her flushed expression and his heart throbbed wildly.
Veronica Parker blushed and gently bit her lip.
Memories of that night three years ago came back to her mind again. She was haunted by it that made her immediately deny what happened. In her own knowledge, it’s not easy, it’s an arduous task! It’s definitely something that she could just shrug off!
At least it was the first time for her, but God suddenly gave her such a tough man and she couldn’t stand it!
It was the wine that made her fearless, she was so brave that she dared to refute!
“Let me think about it. After all, this is not a trivial matter.” Veronica wanted to leave the office instantly. She knew that it’s too dangerous for her to be with Nick.
But then, will Nick agree? When Veronica stared at his dark eyes, he could not read his mind. His expression was unfathomable.
As she waited nervously, Nick Cage reached out to his pocket and put a cigarette directly inside his lips. “Hold it, stand on one foot against the wall, and I’ll think about when it will end.”
With that, the pressure that hovered on her body moved away.
Veronica Parker was stunned on the spot. ‘Are you sure you’re not messing with me?!’ Anger surged from her heart as she angrily rebutted what Nick said.
However, she dared not to do it because Veronica knew what would happen. She suspected that Nick Cage was a pervert.
Veronica took the cigarette off in his mouth, went to the corner, and put it in the trash bin. She pursed her mouth and held back her retort. Then, her one foot is slightly raised, and with that, she balanced herself with one foot and the other.
Her stance is defiant as she exhibited her independence.
Nick said that he’ll think about when it would end. In other words, if she can stand to put her feet on the wall and successfully balance herself until the cigarette’s smoke finishes, he’ll think about it.
So, Veronica tried with all her might to keep going.
‘This is inhumane. Anyone who’ll see me in this state will think that this is coercion! But then, how on earth is she going to make him think about it? She couldn’t even refuse that kind of deal with Nick.
She wanted to stay away from Nick in order to avoid the danger of her children being discovered. She was so terrified by the danger of finding out that she was the daughter of Chloe Bowen, and how she has anything to do with him.
Yet, how can she resist the hegemony of Nick Cage? Veronica turned her eyes to the man on the sofa. Nick Cage sat there lazily with his legs crossed, smoked, and stared at her proudly.
She immediately withdrew her eyes as her heart trembled.
Veronica endured the pain and held her legs firmly. Veronica pouted her lips and looked a little cute. But for her, her legs are extremely sore and her mouth was parched. All of the torment she suffered is Nick Cage’s punishment to her.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the office door.
“Enter.” Nick’s voice was low and intimidating.
Kay Tours came in with important documents in his hand.
After he came in, he was stupefied when he saw Veronica standing at the corner of the wall in a unique position.
Veronica seemed to see a mischievous spark in his eyes and immediately winked at Kay Tours.
‘It’s okay to say something nice to me a little bit. I can hardly stand this shame!’
After being stupefied, Kay Tours withdrew his sight and went to Nick. “Mr. Cage, I need your signature.” Then, he took the black pen on his suit and handed it to Nick Cage.
Nick signed, closed the document and gave it to Kay Tours, and went out immediately with a blink of an eye. Veronica can’t believe what he just did. He was so ruthless, too.
‘At least I am your subordinate! Can’t you protect your employee?’ She was infuriated by that thought.
Nick almost finished smoking a cigarette and he was surprised that she could hold on for so long. Opposite to what he is, Nick really had no patience.
He pressed the cigarette butt behind the ashtray, got up, and approached Veronica.
Veronica’s legs were already weak, and when he saw Nick headed towards her, she panicked even more.
As soon as her knees wobbled, she knelt directly in front of Nick’s torso, which evidently showed the towering height and Nick’s long legs.
After that, she instantly rose as she struggled to get up.
Veronica was anxious when she thought to herself. Her jaw was hooked by Nick Cage and he gently lifted her face to make her look up to him. The lines of her neck were stretched. It revealed her slender neck that made him gulp. Veronica was pulled by him. She was easily controlled by Nick Cage.
