But instead of answering the call, he shoved it back into his pocket, letting it ring. The ringing soon stopped, and my frown deepened.

“Why do you keep ignoring that person?” I asked.

“It’s not your concern,” he murmured, his eyes dark.

Then, a thought occurred to me, and I found myself feeling paralyzed.

“Was it Irene?” I asked him. “Has she been trying to reach you, Ethan?”noveldrama

“As I said, it’s not your concern,” he said slower.

I realized I was right; it was Irene. I remembered she mentioned earlier that Ethan was busy with a meeting and she was upset that she couldn’t see him this evening. Had he been ignoring her all night because he was here with me?

He was already turning me into the other woman, and I hadn’t even agreed to be his mistress. I felt completely sick to my stomach.

“You should go,” I said, folding my arms across my chest and turning away from him. “You don’t want to keep your precious Irene waiting any longer. She might lose interest, and you might not get what you truly want.”

He stepped behind me; he was so close now that I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck

“You think we are so different, but in reality, we are the same, Judy,” he went on to say. I furrowed my brows, not sure where he was going with this. I didn’t bother to turn and face him; I kept my stance. “I marry Irene to get what I want, and you spread your legs for Gavin to get what you want.”

My face drained of blood from his words.

“It’s not like that,” I told him, my voice wavering slightly.

“Don’t lie to me!” He growled, his hands gripping my hips and holding them so firmly that it was most painful. “I know exactly what you are doing. Why don’t you spread your legs for me and get what you really want.”

I felt his hardness pressing into my backside and I quickly stepped out of his grip, whipping around to face him. “You need to get out,” I told him, my eyes burning with unshed tears that I refused to let fall.
