ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 14 Episode 21

“It was a client who asked me to have a dinner with him and I refused. I’m so tired of dealing with clients like that,” Holley complained. Walking toward Black, she took the dry towel from his hand and helped him dry his hair. Hearing Holley’s response, Black resolved his doubts. He couldn’t help but laugh at himself, ‘Why was I so paranoid? I should trust Holley.’

Holley ran her fingers though his hair, and her soft touch relaxed him. Black felt his heart quicken. Restless, he gently grabbed her hand.
Staring into Holley’s beautiful eyes, Black said from the bottom of his heart, “Holley, I want to marry you as soon as possible. I can’t wait any longer. I don’t want you to have to work so hard every day and I don’t want you to be troubled by the daily tasks of your company. When you become my wife, I’ll work and you will stay home and enjoy a happy life.”

Holley feigned a frown in response, pretending that she felt tired and exhausted from work, just like Black had said.

“I also can’t wait to marry you. I would love to stay home and relax, away from my company. But most of my clients have put their trust in me and depend on me. I have to be responsible for them, instead of walking away. I can’t let them down!” Holley sighed as she rested her head on Black’s shoulder.

Despite her reasonable explanation, Black found it hard to believe it. He cared about her and knew what she was really thinking. From the day they first met, he knew Holley was an ambitious woman and full of tricks. To fulfill her purpose, Black knew she would be willing to do anything. Back then, to undermine Rachel’s power, Holley had even secretly enticed other company shareholders to support her. As Black had gotten to know Holley more and more, he had become familiar with her.

So from his understanding, what Holley had just told him was not true. It was just an excuse. Holley must have thought it was too early to get married. She would lose her power and position in Tarsan Corporation.

Black pondered, ‘I can’t let her bury herself in the business of her company every day. I have to figure out a way to persuade her to leave, so that she can concentrate on our future life together. She doesn’t need to be excellent in the workplace; she just needs to be my wife!’ Black decided not to ask Holley again. Instead, he would focus on their current time together. Black kissed her hard on her lips.

Panting gently, Holley smiled bashfully through the kiss. Her breath came out in short gasps, which prompted him to kiss her more aggressively. Desire and love reflected in his eyes and he yearned for her body.

Holley wrapped her slender arms around his neck in response to his love. With her eyes closed, her whole body hung over Black before he lay her down on the bed.

Loosening Holley’s grip on his neck, Black gently kissed her neck. He then went on to kiss every sensitive spot on her body, leaving Holley dazed.

As Black began peeling Holley’s clothes off, her white skin and slender body glistened under the lamplight. Her beauty was so breathtaking that Black lost control, becoming completely aroused. He gripped her tight waist, then started to run his fingers lightly up and down her back.

Holley stared at Black nervously as she covered her body with her hands.

As he looked at the beautiful woman before him, Black’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. He slowly moved Holley’s hands away, placing his own on her breasts.

As they continued to kiss, they eventually became tangled up in each other. The bed they were lying on creaked and groaned under their weight.

Outside the room, the moon slipped behind the clouds, as if it was embarrassed by the scene.

As Black kept pushing himself on Holley’s body, she felt both pleasure and pain. Trying her best not to moan, she clenched her teeth and creased her brow.

Seeing her expression, Black urged, “Holley, don’t restrict yourself. I want to hear you moan. Cry out.”

His voice trembled as he spoke. Clearly, Black felt the same way Holley did, but he wasn’t hiding his pleasure.

In a daze, Holley lost her ability to make decisions, so she just trusted and followed what Black had told her. Releasing the pleasure she’d been keeping pent-up, Holley unclasped her teeth, opened her mouth, and let out a long moan.

In the end, both of them had freed themselves. And as the hormones ran through their veins, they climaxed.

As the pair lay next to each other, smiling and out of breath, the last trace of moonlight disappeared behind a dark cloud.

The next morning, the sun blazed down from a crisp blue sky. After opening his bleary eyes, Black attempted to sit up. However, he accidentally pulled Holley’s hair in the process, waking her up as well.

Jumping out of bed, Black went off to cook up some breakfast. When he returned, he fed Holley porridge while she lay in bed. When she was done, Black put his lips close to Holley’s ear and whispered, “I have to go now. You can stay in bed and rest some more. Last night must’ve taken a lot out of you.” Black smirked, emphasizing the words “last night” on purpose.
His teasing brought Holley back to last night and she blushed immediately. With a soft punch to his chest, she pursed her lips and said, “What are you talking about? Go away!” As she turned her head away, Black shrugged his shoulders and blew her a kiss from the door.

As soon as the door swung shut, Holley immediately picked up her phone and dialed the private detective’s number.

“Hello, yesterday you told me that someone was investigating me. Do you have any idea of the person’s identity?” she blurted out without any hesitation.

“I’m sorry, Miss Myers. We haven’t been able to find out who the guy is. But the one thing we know for sure is that he’s very influential. He is a man with powerful connections and therefore, you must be careful!”

Wanting to hear some good news, Holley changed the topic quickly. “Thanks, I got it. Can you find any leads on who has spread rumors about me?” she asked, trying her best to contain her dissatisfaction. It had been three days since she’d entrusted the private detective with this task. Hearing that there had been no progress, Holley couldn’t help but feel disappointed and annoyed.

The detective choked at Holley’s second question, detecting obvious impatience in her tone. After a long pause, he replied cautiously, “For the time being, we still haven’t found any leads, but we’re getting very close. We’ll do our best to speed up the investigation. Please give us a little more time.”

When she heard that there was in fact no good news at all, a wave of anger rose up within her. However, she managed to suppress it after taking a deep breath.

Then, she said calmly, “Three days. I will give you three days! If I have not seen any progress after three days, you will return my advance payment.” Holley made herself very clear that this was his last chance.

“Okay… Of course,” the detective stammered, as if at a loss for words.

Hanging up the phone, Holley felt uneasy. She couldn’t help but wonder who on earth was investigating her. ‘Whoever is doing this must have bad intentions! I have to find out, with or without help!’ she whispered to herself.

As she reflected on who it could be, she immediately eliminated the possibility of Rex and his son. She hadn’t visited Rex, yet he started investigating her.

Holley picked up her phone again and made a call.

“Hello, Mr. Potter. This is Holley. I was wondering if you’d be available tomorrow,” Holley asked cheerfully, her voice sounding soft and sweet.

“Of course! Whenever you’re available, I will be too,”

Alan replied in a similar tone. But in his mind, he thought, ‘I was looking for you. We have unfinished business, and now you’re coming to me voluntarily. How lucky for me! I will make you pay for what you’ve done to me!’ Alan couldn’t help smiling with anticipation.
