SWNOVELS Chapter 11
hapter: 11
“It's late. You should go home now.”
Marcus glanced at her before returning his attention to the document in his
hands.
Rhea’s face turned pale. The look Marcus had sent her way was so cold and
uncaring, She looked out the window before asking timidly, “Can you drive me
home? It's too dark outside, and I'm scared.”
Marcus did not even bother to look up as he replied, “I have some business
matters to take care of. I'll ask Ethan to drive you home.”
Dissatisfaction rose within Rhea, but she stifled the need to express it in
Marcus's presence.
Marcus had been treating her nicely in an effort to make up for what happened
five years ago, but it was obvious that he only saw her as his friend at best. ©
However, Rhea was not the type to give up easily. Only she was worthy of being
the mistress of the Thomas household.
“Okay. I'll take my leave now, then. Don’t stay up too late.”
Finally, the peace in the study was restored. Marcus, irritated by Millie's
behaviour and words, massaged the space between his brows.
She not only tricked him into marrying her, but she also implied that he was a
woman-hungry beast who would settle for anyone who offered herself to him.
Marcus put down the document he was holding, picked up the magazine Millie
had dropped on the table, and sat back in his chair.
He flipped to the page containing the bag Millie had just mentioned and gazed at
the three hundred-thousand-dollar price tag. Then, he looked at the one Rhea
had been eyeing, the one that cost one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Millie's
antics were so embarrassingly juvenile.
She wanted him to buy her a bag? Ridiculous.
He had not even got even with her yet, but she was already trying to get him to
buy her a bag. He snorted and threw the magazine into the trash can.
Marcus closed his eyes, recalling the unexpectedly sweet and pleasant scent
that surrounded him when Millie stopped next to him.
When he noticed that his mind had wandered to the woman, Marcus shook his
head, the corners of his mouth turning down in a scowl. This must be a ploy to
get his attention, devised by that wicked woman. He would not put it past her.
After all, she even drugged her own family to marry him.

Unfortunately, he failed to get Millie
out of his mind, and the more he
thought about her and the
predicament she had brought to him,
the more disorganized his thoughts
grew. In the end, Marcus got to his
feet and went to the second floor.

In the bedroom, Millie had just gotten
out of the shower and was sitting in
front of the dressing table. Her
nightgown was dragged down a bit,
exposing one of her pristine white
shoulders. Currently, she was
adjusting the strap of her bra. The

Millie inhaled deeply. The strap was
so restrictive, and it left a red vertical
mark on her shoulder. The content is

Suddenly, the door to the bedroom was yanked open in a rather violent manner,
startling her.
“Hey, w-why did you come in... without knocking?” Millie stammered, her face
flushing.
Marcus froze for a second, his mind clouded by the titillating scene in front of
him.
