Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Jane didn’t notice the commotion in the restroom. All her attention was focused on Byron, but she had a vague feeling that something was off.
“Jane, you may not have noticed that the alcohol content of the drink tonight is high.”
Harry fooled Jane with a serious expression, and then he led her back to the private room.
When the sound of footsteps outside gradually faded away, Cora breathed a sigh of relief.
But she also knew that she wasn’t in the right state to return to Tyler’s dinner party. So she sent a message to Sally, saying that she had some things to attend to and left after tidying up her sticky body.
But as soon as she returned to the entrance of her apartment building, Byron was standing by the flower bed, smoking a cigarette.
He squinted his eyes, accompanied by the flickering cigarette in his hand. His expression was as elusive as the ever-changing depths of the dark sea, leaving people unable to grasp or fathom.
Cora glanced at him but ignored him like a stranger, calmly entering the elevator.
As the elevator doors were about to close, Byron, who had just been smoking by the flowerbed some distance away, stubbed out his cigarette and rushed in.
Cora ignored him and retreated to a corner.
She couldn’t help but secretly glance at him.
Byron adjusted his tie and tilted his head slightly to gaze at the ceiling lights of the elevator. The mole at the corner of his eye tightened along with the tense line of his jaw, making him more captivating.
Just now, their intimate activities only went halfway, and there was still the scent of each other on their bodies.
Beneath their calm expressions, certain thoughts couldn’t help but stir restlessly.
Cora struggled to control her thoughts, not wanting them to be influenced by him.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she quickly walked out.
However, Byron followed closely behind, unexpectedly lifting her up from the waist and skillfully grabbing her hand. He unlocked the password lock and forcefully took her into the room, where he began to do as he pleased with her.
“Mr. Hansen, I don’t want this anymore.”
Seeing Byron tearing at her clothes, trying to get straight to the point, Cora struggled.
But Byron ignored her resistance and continued forcefully pushing her down.
“You don’t want it? You took the initiative at the beginning.”
“I took the initiative, but didn’t you take advantage of me? Can’t you let me go?”
But Byron showed her through his actions that letting her go was impossible.
He asked her,
“Do you still think I’m useless now?”
He was so fierce in their intimate moments, making Cora feel great discomfort and even causing her to cry.
“Why are you so annoying? I just don’t want to be with a married man. Why do you want to humiliate me like this? It’s not my fault that my family has fallen, and I didn’t provoke you on purpose. Why don’t you let me go?”
The tearing pain in her body caused Cora to collapse, causing her to cry uncontrollably and vent out all the accumulated helplessness and resentment she had been harboring in her heart during that period.
Seeing the teary-eyed woman in his arms, Byron couldn’t help but soften his actions.
“I’m not a married man.”
Although he felt there was no need to explain, seeing how much Cora cared about the issue, Byron explained casually.
“You already have a fianc?e. Aren’t you just a married man? Aren’t you being hypocritical?”
Cora was angry and spoke without thinking.
Byron didn’t take her words seriously in this state.
“My father thought she was suitable for me and wanted me to consider her as a girlfriend. We don’t have any determined relationship, let alone any engagement ceremony. What kind of fianc?e is that?”
Cora clearly didn’t believe it.
“If she’s not your fianc?e, then why do you let others call her that?”
“Their mouths aren’t sewn shut. Can I stop them one by one?”
Seeing that Cora still didn’t believe him, Byron asked,
“Weren’t you close with Eason and his family before? Did you hear about my engagement from them?”
Cora was stunned. She hadn’t heard about it.
So, it meant that Jane and Harry believed that the supposedly confirmed marriage between Byron and
Jane was actually just Jane’s wishful thinking.
From beginning to end, their relationship never received recognition from Byron, the Hansen family, or even the Patton family.
This discovery made Cora suddenly feel that Jane was also quite pitiful.
Somehow, Byron seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly sneered,
“Do you think she is pitiful? Have you ever thought about how much benefits she gained by claiming her relationship with me to the outside world?”
Cora frowned.
“Mr. Hansen, you don’t seem like someone who would make a loss. Why would you let her gain benefits for no reason?”
“It wasn’t for no reason that she gained those benefits. My father wanted me to settle down quickly, but
I didn’t want to enter the grave of marriage so soon. Besides, someone doesn’t accept a married man.
Taking her as a shield isn’t a bad thing either.”
Byron explained it quite clearly. Jane and her family benefited from her status as his fianc?e, while
Byron used Jane as a shield to ward off various arranged blind dates set up by Osborn.
Byron only treated their relationship as a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, but Jane couldn’t see through it.
However, after listening to all this, Cora didn’t know whether to sympathize with Jane or herself.
Although Jane had not been recognized by Byron or the Hansen family, it was only temporary.
If one day, when Byron decided to settle down, she would smoothly become Byron’s wife.
As for her, Byron might seem exceptionally kind to her, but he probably never had any intention of marrying her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to bring her home just because she didn’t accept a married man and would rather use Jane as a shield.
But Cora felt it might not be a bad thing for her. She was well aware of the predicament she faced if she wanted to marry into the Hansen family.
As long as Byron wasn’t a married man and could temporarily provide her with a spiritual haven, she felt it would maintain this kind of relationship was not bad.
Although Cora had such thoughts, she still felt a pang in her heart.
Was her already scarred heart handed over by her again in such conflict and hesitation?
Feeling restless, she needed some solace. So when Byron kissed her again, she didn’t refuse, and she even actively clung to his neck, enjoying the moment with him.
The next morning, when Cora woke up, Byron had already left the apartment.
Cora endured the soreness all over her body as she tried to get out of bed, only to find a string of anklets on her left foot.
It was made of rose gold and exquisite rubies, and both the clarity and design were exceptional, indicating their high value.
She couldn’t help but recall Byron playing with her ankle last night, so it must have been him who put them on her at that time.
However, every time they were intimate, Byron liked to hold her ankle and kiss it devoutly, so she didn’t pay much attention to it then.
She had to admit that Byron had good taste, and the anklet suited her very well.
The anklet adorned her foot, accentuating her snow-white skin and making her feet appear delicate and charming. With a casual move, she exuded irresistible allure.
Cora looked at the anklet for a while, took out her phone, took a photo, and sent it to Byron: [Mr.Hansen, is this my reward from last night?]
Byron, on the other end of the phone, seemed to be idle, responding to her messages almost instantly.
[Yes, hard work pays off. Keep working hard in the future.]
Cora suddenly blushed. She felt like she had just been teased.
However, what Cora didn’t know was that the man who replied to her message was currently in a conference room.
Many executives were waiting for Byron to give feedback on the plan, but he was replying to the message with his mobile phone. He even smirked slightly after saving the WhatsApp image.
Since taking over the Hansen Group, the executives had never seen him smile like this before.
The only time they witnessed him lose control was when he got angry during a video call with his sexual partner and then abruptly left, leaving everyone behind.
So the executives who witnessed all of this couldn’t help but suspect that Byron’s rare smile had something to do with his sexual partner again.
But they dared not communicate directly with Byron about these questions, so they shifted their gossiping eyes to Carter, who was next to Byron.
Naturally, Carter was too lazy to explain these messy things to them, so when he noticed their gossiping eyes, he started to rebuke an executive sternly.
“Mr. Brown, why don’t you start by sharing your thoughts on these two proposals?”
This executive’s beer belly resembled a belly of a pregnant woman, and he was the most curious one.
He was the perfect target for criticism.
This executive’s desire for gossip instantly vanished, and he began to anxiously pile up various adjectives to express his opinions.
Seeing how miserable this executive was, others dared not gossip anymore and immediately threw themselves wholeheartedly into this meeting.
In the following days, except for occasional business trips, Byron stayed at Cora’s LO apartment every night.
Most of their time together was filled with intimacy, with little communication in other aspects.
But the two of them were perfectly compatible in this matter and always reached the peak of pleasure.
However, after each moment of pleasure, Cora would secretly build fortresses in her heart to prevent herself from completely falling.
She needed to hold onto either her body or her heart so as not to be completely engulfed in this quagmire.
In a blink of an eye, Jane’s birthday was approaching.
So today, at a gathering with Byron, Harry, and other New York rich young men, Jane generously invited everyone.
“It’s my birthday this weekend, and I plan to have a party on Breezy Tides. I invite you all to join me.”
