Filed to story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
After such a long and tiring day that felt like ages, they didn’t plan to do anything to make them even more exhausted.
Unexpectedly, the power suddenly went out before Cora could put on her clothes after she finished taking a shower.
The scenes of the hyenas devouring Nicholas, which she had deliberately tried to forget, filled her mind once again, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.
When she was about to drown in her despair, a beam of light fell on her.
“Are you okay?”
Cora looked up and saw Byron holding a flashlight.
Instantly, Cora threw herself into Byron’s arms, regardless of her nudity.
“What’s wrong?”
Byron felt her trembling, so he didn’t push her away.
“I’m okay!”
Her response only made Byron think she was still being stubborn.
However, she didn’t want to bring up those things, and Byron didn’t mention them either. Instead, he teased her playfully,
“Wow, you’re so enthusiastic. How much money do you expect?”
As his hand slipped downwards, she realized that he had been turned on again.
“You perv!”
She tried to hit Byron, but he was much taller. Soon, he locked her in his arms and did whatever he wanted.
Initially, Byron hadn’t intended to do anything. He just wanted to distract Cora and prevent her from feeling too scared.
But gradually, his breathing also became a mess.
After all, it had been nearly three months since Cora’s rib fracture, and they hadn’t had such intimate contact for a long while.
And now, since Cora was locked in his arms naked, he could no longer control his desire.
When both of them were hot and bothered, Cora tried to let Byron get a condom.
But Byron’s seductive voice sounded beside her ear.
“You promised to have kids with me…”
Later, because of Cora’s promise, Byron attacked her with countless rounds of pleasure.
When everything was over, Cora, exhausted and no longer concerned about the fear of the power outage, fell into a deep sleep.
In the end, it was Byron who helped her clean up and then held her until dawn…
The next day, Byron brought Cora back to the Hansen Mansion and informed Osborn about what they had discovered in Burcane.
“How dare that bastard do such things? That was simply outrageous!”
Osborn said angrily.
Osborn was outrageous. He was angry at Lionel for deceiving them by bringing his illegitimate child back home to be raised as his own son, fooling Osborn’s sister.
He was also furious at Nicholas for his audacity in attempting to assault Cora in the middle of the night and for him and his father planning to harm Byron at the funeral.
Byron was Osborn’s most cherished and valued child.
If anything happened to him at the funeral, Osborn and Nora would never be able to bear such a heavy blow.
So even though Nicholas had already paid the price for his actions, Osborn still harbored deep resentment.
“Cut them off from our family! Now!”
Although he knew that if he made Lionel desperate, Lionel would do anything to get his revenge.
However, Osborn simply couldn’t let go of his grudges against Lionel, so he decided to take action.
“It’s already in progress,”
Byron replied.
Since he had learned the truth during his investigation, he had already begun to dismantle their network of connections gradually.
The incident at the funeral only accelerated this process.
As a result, the Morwick family would soon go bankrupt.
“Alright, let’s not talk about those unlucky things anymore. Now that Cora has almost recovered, I think we can start planning your wedding. Also, it’s almost time for you to become my student.”
Nora quickly changed the subject to avoid upsetting Osborn, fearing that his anger might affect his health.
What was even more important was that Nora was eager to achieve her goal of making Cora, this talented pianist, a part of her family.
Nora continued,
“I’ve already handed over the wedding arrangements to a professional wedding planning company. They can be as extravagant as they want. After all, the Hansen family can afford it.
For now, Cora, your task is to come with me to the tailor and buy some beautiful custom-made clothes.
Once the clothes are ready, we can prepare a banquet when you’ll officially become my student.”
“You’re just trying to force Cora to become your student,”
Osborn teased, noticing Nora’s eagerness.
“Force her? How come? Don’t slander me!”
Cora enjoyed hearing them bickering.
Nora once called her
“Dr. Lane”, but now she addressed her by her first name. It wasn’t hard to tell that she had gradually become a part of the family.
So, she accepted Nora’s arrangement and followed her to the tailor to buy some new clothes.
Surprisingly, Byron joined them as well, and she couldn’t help but wonder if he was worried about her or if there was some other reason for his presence.
When Nora and Cora were getting measured, he was on the phone in the lounge, arranging work and listening to Carter’s reports.
Nora intended to get Cora a tailored dress. Because it was more close-fitting, Anne, the tailor, asked
Cora to take off her clothes, leaving only her underwear.
However, as soon as Cora took off her clothes, the hickeys left by Byron last night were all exposed.
When Nora and Anne saw her body, they couldn’t help but complain.
“What a ruthless brat! You could have stopped him, Cora. I mean, look at you! You seem like you’ve been beaten up!”
Those exposed were on the skin that her underwear couldn’t cover up. As for the rest, the situation might even be more shocking.
Nora felt distressed when she saw Cora’s body, even though she was just Cora’s mother-in-law. She couldn’t imagine how Cora’s mother would say when she saw what Byron had done to Cora.
Cora knew her body would definitely be covered by the marks that Byron had left last night. However, she didn’t expect such an embarrassing situation.
If she had known it earlier, she would have found an excuse not to take off her clothes.
Her body being exposed made her extremely ashamed, and she didn’t know how to reply. She could only bite the bullet and finish the whole measuring process with a face as red as a cooked lobster.
Just when the measurements were finished, Byron barged in.
“Mom, there’s an issue at the office. I need to handle it,”
Byron said before noticing Cora’s flushed face.
“What’s wrong?”
Cora glared at him angrily.
Nora immediately scolded him,
“She’s just a girl who hasn’t fully recovered yet. How could you be so reckless? What if something happened to her?”
Slow to realize what had just been exposed, Byron evaded the topic vaguely, promising to be more careful.
Anne also teased Nora, saying that these loving couple might soon give her a grandson.
The thought of a grandchild made Nora quite happy, but Cora felt extremely embarrassed.
Thinking about last night, when they had sex multiple times without protection, Cora worried that she might actually get pregnant.
However, after thinking it through, she decided not to worry about this.
After all, they were married now, and having a baby wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
In the evening, Byron took Cora out for dinner at a restaurant she used to like.
However, they were surprised to find the place bustling with activity. Decorations, ribbons, and balloons adorned the entrance, and a private room was filled with people.
While ordering, Cora asked the waiter why it was so festive.
The waitress smiled and replied,
“Mr. Cross is going to propose later. We decorated the place as per his request.”
Originally, Harry wanted to book the entire restaurant for the proposal, but his friends suggested having more people around to witness the special moment, so Harry decided to take his friend’s advice.
But then, the waitress suddenly remembered the man in front of her and the person Harry was proposing to seemed to have an unusual relationship before, so she quickly covered her mouth, afraid she might have said something wrong.
“You may leave now. I’ll let you know if we need anything.”
Seeing that the waitress was worried, Cora asked her to leave.
Then she approached Byron recklessly and asked,
“Your ex-fianc?e is about to be proposed to. How do you feel?”
Byron shot her a cold glance and flicked her forehead, causing her to cry out in pain and cover her head.
“We’ve never been in love. How could she be my fianc?e?”
After punishing Cora, Byron called the waitress over to order a few dishes Cora liked.
Soon after, Jane arrived.
