The only thing Lina could think of was that Kaden deserted her at the altar. Her heart trembled at the thought of that.
"Young Miss, we've arrived," the chauffeur told her with a gentle smile.
The driver could tell she was thinking deeply about something. She always was. Ever since the Young Miss was a child, there was a distant look in her eyes, like she was mentally bounding thousands of steps ahead of her age.
"Thank you," Lina said, just as a man opened the door for her.
Lina's lips parted in surprise. She stared at him, dumbstruck that he had personally come to do this. Everywhere around them, people paused to look. Their eyes widened in amazement when they realized what he had done.
"Kaden," Lina muttered, her heart fluttering when his lips tugged upwards.
"After you," Kaden stated, offering her a hand.
Lina's eyes locked onto his outstretched palm. Like her, he had amazing wealth lines, but subpar marriage and love lines. She took his hand and her eyes glazed over.
Images of a bed, a woman crying and handcuffs flashed inside of her mind. Her head snapped up, startled.
"Why do you look so surprised?" Kaden mused, his smile widening when she flushed red like she hadn't expected him to show up to greet her. Though, he was curious why she had looked distant for a split second.
Suddenly, her hand was gone.
Kaden's airy mood dispersed. He did not like her rejection; his face darkening with each second.
"I thought Sebastian would be waiting, not the chief himself," Lina responded, accompanying him into the grand entrance. She was surprised to see Sebastian was indeed waiting, but with a team of people. In the crowd, she recognized Anakin.
"You think I wouldn't come to greet my wife?" Kaden returned, his voice cruel and cold.
Lina turned to him, hurt by the tone. She was used to it, but thought he'd treat her kinder. She didn't want to touch him in public, where his employees were watching. What if they lost respect for him at the public display of affection? Everyone was looking at them.
"You're angry. Why?" Lina asked, realizing his behavior had flipped like a switch. It happened before her eyes too. He seemed in good spirits when he greeted her at the car, but after she pulled away, he seemed hateful.
"How'd you feel if I let your hand go?" Kaden retorted, placing a hand on her lower back to guide them towards the private elevator.
Kaden didn't stop for Sebastian, Anakin, or his personal team of people. He continued walking, letting them trail one step behind them. But he shot them a warning look, daring anyone to take a peek at his wife's backside.
"I didn't want to embarrass you," Lina responded. "My Uncles 't dislike it when their wives want PDA."
Kaden scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Tell their wives to get a divorce then."
Lina's lips struggled to suppress a smile. She cast him a glance and tilted her head.
"You can't just tell them to get divorced—"
"If they're unhappy, why not leave?" Kaden retorted.
Lina had nothing else to say.
They came to a stop in front of the private elevator. He scanned his fingerprints. While most employees needed their ID card, fingerprints, and passcode, his was a simple identification.
Kaden grabbed her by the waist and shifted her body in front of him. His wide shoulders hid her carefully. Then, he stiffened. Lina leaned back, completely unaware that he was just hiding her from his peers.
"Would you let me leave if I was unhappy?" Lina muttered under her breath.
Kaden's fingers dug into her waist, his lips brushing against her ear. She froze.
"Never."
Lina frowned. "And you think they can?"
"I won't make you unhappy," Kaden stated, smiling against her ear while she glared at the closed doors of the elevator.
Lina doubted his words. She sulked to herself, despite asking the stupid question.
"That's impossible," Lina stated.
"Then don't ask impossible questions," Kaden retorted.
Lina realized he was right. She was relieved when the elevator dinged open and he lightly pushed her inside. She turned in time to see he had shot a warning stare at his employees.
"Don't have sex in the elevator," Anakin bit out, irritated that he had to wait for another one.
Lina choked at his words, her face warm.
"You'll find out," Kaden responded.
Sebastian looked mortified, shooting Anakin a warning with his eyes. Even the other team of people cleared their throats, their ears red with the imagery.
The lawyer ignored him, folding his arms across his chest. They both knew their Boss would.
Soon, the doors dinged shut. Kaden leaned against the elevator railing, admiring her beautiful body. She turned around and he was already smirking.
"You did sign the contract," Kaden smoothly said, reaching his long arms out to touch her.
Kaden cupped the side of her hips and brought her towards him.
"Anytime. Anywhere," Kaden whispered, his tone lowering. He pressed her body against his, as his arm slithered across her lower back, just so she could feel his hardening member.
"You last only thirty seconds?" Lina asked, sliding her hand up his chest and blinking innocently up at him. That was how long it took to get to the top floor.
"You'll find out," Kaden grunted, humored by her teasing.
She was cute. He'd give her that. His other hand grabbed hers, guiding her where to touch him.
Lina's fingers trembled at his hard body, crafted from muscle and stamina. His chest felt smooth, but when he dragged her hand down, she felt eight powerful lines. Her mouth watered to run her tongue upon them.
"I'd rather you show me," Lina teased, pulling her hand away as the doors slid open.
Lina turned around, grateful that it was empty. She pushed off of his body, but he didn't let her go.
"Kaden—"
"I'll show you now."
Lina blushed red from head to toe. This elevator was going to go back down! She'd rather not be caught in such a promiscuous position.
"Let me go," Lina groaned.
"Kiss me first."
"No," Lina responded.
"Then no."
Kaden chuckled when she shot him a frown, like a sulking child who had been told no for the first time in her life. He was certain this was the truth. Bending down, he went for her mouth, but she turned her head. His lips landed on her cheek.
His mood worsened. Even so, he pressed open-mouthed kisses down to her small jaw, nibbling when he reached her neck. Her breath quickened, and she tilted her head for better access.
Kaden let out a dark laugh. She didn't let him kiss her mouth, but wanted more marks on her throat. This little vixen.
"You'll have to beg for more," Kaden grunted, his voice hoarse.
Kaden pulled her out of the elevator. He lightly grabbed her hand, guiding her through the floors, showing her off to everyone that looked.
His future wife was stunning and he'd let the whole world know that. But only one glance. That was all he'd allow them. One look was enough to admire her.
Kaden shifted her body beside him, covering her figure with his. She was small in his arms, like a little lamb meant to be cherished.
Soon, they reached his office, where he opened the door with a swipe of his hand against the scanner. Instantly, a delicious aroma filled the air and he shut the doors behind him.
"What's this?" Lina asked, astonished by the large spread of food.
At the savory smell, her mouth watered. Her stomach came to life, grumbling for food that she hadn't consumed for an entire day.
"Food," Kaden said matter-of-factly.
Lina was too hungry to argue with him. She tried to release his hand, but he tightened his grip. He guided her to the food laid out on a large table in his office, where furniture had to be moved to accommodate it.
"For me?" Lina questioned, her eyes lighting up.
"For my pet fish."
Lina glared.
"Obviously it's for you," Kaden responded, laughing at how quickly her anger went away when he responded just then.
Lina resembled a child on Christmas Eve. The food had all of her favorites. Uni sushi wrapped in warm rice and seaweed, fatty tuna laid on a bed of fresh rice, sashimi of all kinds of fish, hand rolls, and the list went on.
"Thank you," Lina gratefully said, surprised that he had everything down to a tee.
There was even ice cream mochi, one of her favorite desserts in the entire world. At times like this, she appreciated his lengthy research.
"Come and have your fill," Kaden responded.
Kaden was relieved to see she wasn't hesitant to eat. He sat her down and shifted the plates closer to her. He placed his hand behind her hair, bending down. He kissed behind her ears, his nose brushing upon them.
"Why are you doing this?" Lina questioned, feeling like she was treating him too kindly.
Kaden let out a soft laugh, his attention shifting to her lips.
"So I can fill you up."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The only thing Lina could think of was that Kaden deserted her at the altar. Her heart trembled at the thought of that.
"Young Miss, we've arrived," the chauffeur told her with a gentle smile.
The driver could tell she was thinking deeply about something. She always was. Ever since the Young Miss was a child, there was a distant look in her eyes, like she was mentally bounding thousands of steps ahead of her age.
