After three months of being with each other, sharing the heat of desire in a single bed, Wylynn Snyder could still feel like she was on cloud nine up to this day. Levi Zacharias was an ideal man for Wylynn. He was not selfish and concerned about her enjoyment of the activity, which Wylynn appreciated because she liked the feeling of being cared for.

Levi's arm was wrapped around her waist, hugging her from behind as she lay on her side with her head on the pillow.

Resting, Wylynn attentively looked at his sturdy forearm in her tummy. His skin was pale, but that didn't obstruct her from knowing the strength his arms, which had wrapped around her waist many times, possessed. Down to Levi's hands, they never failed to take her breath away whenever she saw them. His hands were very manly, matched by his long fingers and well-defined knuckles. This hand that had once...

Wylynn's thoughts were interrupted when she noticed a ring on his finger. It was no ordinary ring. Even though she was not a fan of luxurious things, BVLGARI was a famous luxury brand, for she not to recognize the ring. But it was not the one that blew her mind; its type instead. It was a wedding ring! It shone under the light, looking dazzling. She couldn't deny that even she, who was not into such things, found it marvelous. But at the same time, it sobered her from being immersed in their sweet past.

With her hoarse voice, Wylynn asked, "You're getting married now?"

"Just engaged," Levi corrected, calm as usual.

As a realization dawned on her, her mood became a little subtle.

'Then, I shouldn't squeeze myself into him anymore,' Wylynn thought.

Holding her breath, she courageously said, "Since you're engaged, shouldn't it be over for us?"

Levi was still single when they started this relationship, but now that the situation had changed, Wylynn knew that their relationship, if it could be called that, should end now. She didn't want to ruin someone's relationship just because of this physical connection and worldly desires she had with Levi.

Hearing her words, Levi smiled and pecked her neck, making a shiver run down Wylynn's spine and her hand clenched the sheet tightly. With his deep voice, he asked, "Are you willing to give up?"

Not expecting his question, Wylynn's mind went blank, and her strength seemed to vanish.

Unable to think straight out of frustration and bottled-up emotions, she suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it hard, leaving a teeth mark on it.

Seemingly understanding Wylynn's impulsive behavior, Levi simply gave her a slight pinch on her chin and remarked jokingly, "You learned something bad, huh." Then he turned her around to face him and bit her lip hard.

It was then that Levi's cell phone suddenly rang. It kept ringing, but Levi simply picked it up, glanced at it, and returned it to the bedside table afterward.

Wylynn, on the other hand, assumed it was his fiancee calling him. Nonetheless, they went on with their business, but Levi left earlier than usual that night.

Alone in the room, Wylynn was lying on the bed and couldn't help but think about the wedding ring on his finger. As it occupied her mind, she kept tossing and turning on her bed. But after a long moment, she finally came up with a big decision; she blocked Levi on Facebook. Upon doing so, a thorn seemed to be pulled out of her throat, allowing her to heave a sigh of relief and sleep tight.

Levi, on the other hand, drove to Diagon Alley after leaving the hotel. On the road, his phone suddenly rang once again. It was Jad Zager, who had also called him repeatedly earlier. Levi answered the phone, and Jad immediately began reporting.

"Where are you? Yohann fought with his classmates, and he's now in the hospital. The doctor said his injuries were minor, but he kept crying in anger. As for his classmate, the kid has been taken to the police station, and I'll speak with his parents early tomorrow morning," Jad explained.

As the latter spoke, the traffic light hit the red light, so Levi took the box of cigarettes and lighter from the storage compartment and lit one skillfully with one hand while holding his phone with the other. After Jad finished speaking, Levi puffed a cloud of smoke and flatly replied, "I see. You can deal with it."

Instead of the end call tone, Levi heard Jad's voice again, this time asking, "By the way, how's your business?"

"What business?" asked Levi, not having any clue about what Jad was referring to.

"Didn't you agree to get engaged?" Jad clarified.

Levi's eyes narrowed when he heard that. Soon, the traffic light turned green, and he said solemnly, "I'm driving. I'll talk to you later."

"Huh?" Jad uttered, but Levi abruptly hung the phone up, not allowing Jad to continue speaking.

As he hit the road, his gaze was drawn to his left hand, which was holding the steering wheel. If earlier, there was only a ring on it, now, there was also a teeth mark left by Wylynn out of exasperation. Levi smiled as he touched it with his index finger, removed his wedding ring, opened the storage compartment, and tossed it in.

On the next day, Wylynn was snuggling on her bed when her phone suddenly rang, jolting her out of her dream. She picked it up and saw that it was Halle Coleman, her stepmother. Upon seeing it, she answered the call immediately and heard Halle's voice on the other end of the line. "Hello, Wy? I just received a letter from a lawyer this morning. Ean fought with his classmate yesterday, who's now in the hospital. Now, the lawyer is demanding compensation for the student's medical expenses and mental damage. I don't know what to do. His classmate's parents are rich and powerful, and they sent Ean to a police station," Halle cried anxiously.

Wylynn's heart pounded when she heard her stepmother, but she soon gradually sat up straight on her bed and asked, "Is Ean still at the police station?"

Bawling, Halle replied, "Yes. Please bring him home, Wy."

Wylynn took a deep breath to calm herself down, then said calmly, "Don't worry, give me the lawyer's phone number, and I'll handle it."

Wylynn knew Ean Jensen well, and it was not in his nature to get into trouble, so she couldn't figure out what had happened. She got out of bed, anxious, but stepped into something. When she looked down, she noticed a pure black, high-quality necktie. She was sure it was Levi's.

When Wylynn arrived at the police station, she went straight to the officer in charge and discussed some details regarding Ean's case. After a long discourse, she finally brought him out, and Ean immediately told her, "It was Yohann Zacharias who started it, Wy."

With that, everything became clear to Wylynn.

As she promised her stepmother, she took Ean out of the police station and sent him home.

Now that Ean's situation had been resolved, she turned to her phone and dialed the number Halle had sent her. After a moment of ringing, the call finally patched through, but all she could hear was noise. Even so, Wylynn took the initiative and spoke first. "Hello, is this lawyer Zager? I'm Ean's sister. I want to talk to you about the fight between the two children."

"Mr. Zacharias' luck seems to run out today. He keeps losing."

"Would you like to change into red pants?"

"Are you wearing them?"

Wylynn patiently listened to the different voices over the line, but after a long moment of waiting, she asked again, "Lawyer Zager, are you there?"

After a while, the lawyer finally replied, "Who's this?"

"I'm Ean's sister. I want to talk to you about the fight between the two children," Wylynn repeated herself. But then the man simply replied, "Oh."

Since the lawyer was finally on the other line, Wylynn turned on the loudspeaker so that she could hear his response despite his noisy background.

"Come to the Sunny Club. Let's talk here personally," the lawyer said before hanging up the phone.

Meanwhile, in the Sunny Club, Jad had just put his phone on the table after the call when Holton Barber, who was playing cards, asked, "Who are you inviting here?"

Joining them at the playing table, Jad replied, "Yohann fought with a classmate, and the kid's sister is coming."

"She has a nice voice," Holton commented, then faced Levi. "When she comes here, don't let her off the hook easily, even if she weeps and begs you. Show her that we're not someone she should mess up with."

When Levi did not respond, Jad kicked Holton's feet under the table, signaling him to stop.

Levi smoked quietly while watching the cards being shuffled. He then rolled up the sleeve of his polo with his hand holding a cigarette, and said coldly, "A little injury isn't a big deal."

Jad quickly shook his head in disagreement and refuted, "Don't say that. You didn't see how Yohann cried." He leaned back in his seat and added, "I mean, you two haven't talked in a long time. When are you going to be reconciled? He's your son, no matter what. Besides, I understand why he doesn't want you to remarry."

Jad was gazing at Levi intently, waiting for him to respond, but the latter's mouth was zipped shut as usual. Even when he was with them, Levi was so quiet that if one didn't know him, one would think he was mute. Hence, no one could guess what was on his mind.

Jad was in that state, wanting to say something, when he suddenly noticed the slightly open collar of Levi's polo.

'Is that...' Jad thought, freezing for a moment as an idea lingered in his mind.

Those wrinkles in Levi's polo hinted at only one thing. As such, he couldn't help but quibble, "You just agreed to get engaged, and you're already having sex?"

After an-hour's ride, Wylynn finally arrived at Sunny Club, and since Jad had already informed the club's bouncers about her arrival, one of the bouncers immediately led her upstairs, where Jad was. Seeing the place, she realized that the student's parents Ean fought with were wealthy and influential, just like what Halle had said, because ordinary people couldn't obviously afford to come into a place like this.

When they reached upstairs, the bouncer knocked on the VIP room door before opening it. As soon as she entered, several people's gazes were drawn to her all at once.

Wylynn then asked, "I'm Ean's sister. Who's Lawyer Zager here?"

Sitting at the table and fiddling with the cards, Jad cast a sidelong glance at her and said, "Come in."

Wylynn came closer to Jad and stated, "I already asked Ean about the fight, and he said it was Yohann who started it."

Raising an eyebrow and leaning back in his seat, Jad replied, "So?"

Despite the man's conceit, Wylynn didn't lose her cool and went on with the topic. "Legally speaking, my brother acted in self-defense," she explained calmly.

However, Jad only laughed and scoffed, "Miss, are you discussing law with a lawyer?"

Hearing this, Holton, who was next to Jad, nudged and ragged him. "What do you want to talk about besides the law then? Sex?"

As he spoke, his sensual gaze was fixed on Wylynn. Shuffling the cards, he again spoke, jesting, "Just how do you think you can make her comfortable without breaking the law, Jad?"

Hearing the two men's conversation, not to mention right in front of her, made Wylynn's body freeze and feel uncomfortable.

She had no idea these two serious-looking men would spit such obscene words in front of a woman. As the adage went, "the more decent you appear, the more obscene you are."

Fortunately, a man named Yerik Crawley appeared, carrying a bottle of wine, and intervened in the two's banter. He kicked Holton and said, "Hey, stop it, you two, be serious. Look at her; she seems scared."

Wylynn was trying to figure out how to get the conversation back on track when the bathroom door creaked open, and someone appeared.

Jad looked in that direction and said to Wylynn, "Well, don't say I didn't give you a chance. The client is already here. He's Yohann's father. If he lets you go, you're lucky; the matter is over."

While the latter was speaking, Wylynn also looked at the door and saw a man a few steps away. He was dressed in a suit and tie, his face stood out in the bright light, and he had a stillness that no one else possessed. For a brief moment, Wylynn felt like she didn't know him. No, she should have said he was a stranger out of bed.

Wylynn had thought about Levi's identity before. Based on his behavior and age, she assumed he had a successful career. But it never crossed her mind that he already had a 13-year-old son.

She quickly shook that thought and reasoned that as a sex partner, she should act as if she didn't know him when they were not in bed. With that, Wylynn stood up and faced him.

"Mr. Zacharias, I want to talk to you about the two children," she began, then paused for a while. Then she soon added, "Alone."

Levi stood leisurely, his hands in his trousers pockets. Before he spoke, Holton over there began to tease again, "I also want to chat with you alone, Miss. Would you mind?"

A smile flashed on Yerik's face upon hearing his friend trying to strike a woman boldly. He then jested, "Are you sure you only want to chat? You're easy to read, man. I'm sure you're fantasizing about something bad right now."

Chuckling, Jad also teased, "Sorry, but this lady obviously dislikes your vulgarity."

After dropping that line, he turned to Levi and reminded him, "Levi, limits, okay?"

Levi only looked at the three men, who had finally calmed down. He stood there for a moment, then turned around and walked past Wylynn.

Still in a daze, Wylynn could only follow him with her eyes.

Levi had already reached the door but soon paused as he noticed she was not following. "Are you just going to stand there?" he asked, his tone casual. "I thought you wanted us to talk alone," he added before exiting.

Wylynn immediately snapped out of her trance and followed him.

In the parking lot, she saw Levi sitting in the driver's seat, seemingly looking for something inside his car. Moments later, he came out with a cigarette and lit it up, one arm casually resting on the car roof.

At this moment, Wylynn had finally caught up to him. Levi puffed a cloud of smoke into the air and then looked at her.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked with an unusually heavy voice.

As the cold night breeze blew through, Wylynn's hair got disheveled. She combed her hair with her fingers and straightforwardly answered, "My brother said Yohann started it, so it was basically self-defense."

She then glanced at Levi, checking his reaction, but all she could see was a calmness in him.

Since it seemed he didn't intend to interrupt her, she said, "But since Yohann ended up in the hospital, I will persuade my brother to apologize to him, but we will still pay for the medical expenses, just not the emotional damage. I'm sorry, but I don't think we should pay for it."

Levi skillfully shook off the ashes of his cigarette. After a long silence, he broke it as he replied, "Finished?"

Wylynn simply nodded as she responded, "Yes."

Levi returned the cigarette to his lip, and as he opened his mouth, a few smoke rings escaped. "It's their problem. Let them solve it. Now, let's talk about our business," he started.

"I left my tie at the hotel; did you keep it for me?" he queried, then returned his gaze to Wylynn, waiting for her response.

Wylynn's gaze quickly flew to Levi in surprise. After a while, she finally pulled herself together and answered shyly, "I threw it away."

Afterward, silence engulfed them as the awkwardness lingered in their atmosphere.

Secretly, Levi gazed into Wylynn's eye intently. But Wylynn wasn't aware of it as she fell into deep thought.

'We had already gone to bed but rarely talked about ourselves. And now that we're talking about it, I realize I have no idea what kind of person he really is,' she realized.

But it didn't matter anymore, so Wylynn looked him straight in the eye and said, "I think I made it very clear that now that you have a fiancee, it's already over for us."

Levi straightened up and puffed another puff of smoke, this time enveloping the top of her head like a circle of clouds.

"Are you... sure?" he asked slowly.

Wylynn only nodded in response.

Seeing that she was sure of it, Levi could only respond, "If so, I respect your decision."

Levi then threw the remaining cigarette on the ground, stepped on it with the toe of his leather shoes, and turned to face her. "Get in the car," he instructed, opening the passenger seat door for her.

With a puzzled expression on Wylynn's face, Levi quickly read what was on her mind and stated, "I want to do it again for the last time."

He said those words frankly, without a single joke or insult in his voice.

Wylynn moved slightly and thought of refusing. But Ean's image suddenly flashed through her mind before she could utter any words, prompting her to refrain from opening her mouth.

Just a while ago, she met Levi's friends, one of whom spat dirty words, and the other was a bully. If Levi got along well with such people, he must not be a good person either, since there was an adage saying, "birds of the same feather flock together." As such, Wylynn couldn't help but worry that Levi would fly into a rage and make things difficult for her family if she refused. Moreover, the 120 thousand dollars mental damage fee was too much for them to handle. With that in mind, Wylynn eventually got into the car, reasoning that Levi was very personable and patient in bed, which was better than provoking him.

After a few minutes of traveling, Levi pulled over to a hotel and got out of the car. Wylynn automatically followed him inside. When the elevator opened, she saw a man and a woman who she reckoned were still teenagers.

Throughout that time, the boy kept staring at them, making Wylynn feel a little uncomfortable. Probably because she knew Levi was engaged, she always felt the urge not to be recognized.

As such, when the elevator door opened, Wylynn dashed out, surprising Levi and causing him to freeze in place. A smile suddenly formed on his lips as he stared at her back for a while. Shaking his head, he then soon followed her.

After the two of them exited the elevator, the boy quickly removed the girl's hand from his arms, took out his phone, and dialed a number. Shortly after, the person on the other end of the line answered, and without any introduction, the boy quickly reported, "Yohann, I saw your father with a woman come to the hotel to reserve a room! Is that the woman you told me about? The woman who's gonna be your stepmother?"

For a minute, the boy only heard an eerie silence on the other line before a heavy roar.

"Fuck!" Yohann exclaimed. "Which hotel?" he asked, growling.

Beginning this worldly relationship with Levi was the most deviant decision Wylynn had ever made. She had always followed the rules for the past 27 years, and she never imagined she would have such a relationship with a complete stranger for three months, not talking about feelings but only about their body needs.

Nonetheless, Levi didn't fail Wylynn in giving her the most memorable experience, leading her to believe he learned that skill from screwing a lot of women.

But today, for some unknown reason, her mind was blank.

They were already inside a hotel room, and Levi's hands were around her waist, condescendingly looking down at her.

"Since it's breakup sex, shouldn't you be a little more dedicated? You've always been like this. I can't continue if you keep being absent-minded," he said solemnly.

Wylynn's face flushed instantly. She had never been this nervous with him again after their two encounters. But it was probably Levi's aura that made her feel a little sheepish today.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood for this today," Wylynn said softly, clutching the sheet. Then she offered, hesitantly, "How about... the other day?"

However, Levi was adamant and firmly stated, "No, I want it today."

After that, he leaned in to kiss her, but Wylynn pushed him away and said, "Wait, wait a minute!"

Luckily, Levi was a patient man, so he stopped and heard her out.

"Do you really not care about my brother and your son's fight?" Wylynn asked, bringing back the earlier topic.

Instead of becoming irritated, Levi remained calm, his tone remaining constant as he repeated his words. "Like I said, let them deal with the problem."

Hearing these words, Wylynn heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

Seeing that she had finally relaxed, Levi gently pinched her chin and asked solemnly, "Can we continue now?"

"Ok..." Wylynn only uttered as her voice was engulfed in his hungry kiss. For the first time, Levi appeared to have lost his patience, as he did not allow her to speak.

While Wylynn was debating whether or not to do something, someone suddenly knocked on the door loudly, startling both of them.

Soon after, a ferocious roar erupted from behind the closed door. "Dad! Dad!"

Then there was another harsh knock on the door as if the person behind it wanted to smash it open with his knuckles.

"Are you in there? Come out!" the voice rang out again.

The momentum they painstakingly established was easily ruined by that noise.

Realizing that someone outside knew where they were, Wylynn's body quaked terribly. It was the first time she had experienced such a thing. In nervousness, she immediately drew the blanket and wrapped it around herself.

In contrast to her, Levi appeared much calmer as he smoothly rolled over on the bed and got out of it. Then he put on his trousers slowly, buttoned his polo, picked up Wylynn's clothes on the floor, and threw them back at her. "Put them on," he gently instructed.
