"I can do this. I must get the evidence of Lenny's infidelity today!"
Scarlet Brown clenched her fists with intense determination. She placed her peaked cap on her head. Lowering her head to avoid the surveillance cameras, she walked into a VIP club.
She was here to catch her cheating husband red-handed today.
She had been married to Lenny Foster for a year. However, they were not like the traditional couple at all. They hadn't seen each other or lived under the same roof since they got married.
The marriage was a sham. There was no love or even friendship between them. It was just a complete waste of time.
Scarlet was fed up with being imprisoned by such a marriage. She wanted to get a divorce, but the perfect opportunity hadn't presented itself.
It wasn't until recently that she got a chance. Her best friend abroad had told her that she saw Lenny with a woman several times. He seemed to be having extramarital affairs.
Cheating was a good ground for divorce. Scarlet reasoned that this was a golden opportunity, so she decided to seize it.
In the corridor, she saw a woman bring Lenny to a presidential suite. His steps were unstable and his free hand was dangling. It seemed like he was drunk.
Scarlet walked over to the suite, only to find the door ajar. She heard the woman speaking to someone on the phone.
"You can count on me. I won't fail this time. I'll set the camera perfectly. We can use the sex tape to blackmail him afterward."
Scarlet frowned when she heard this.
Who was this woman? Why was she trying to set Lenny up? Did this mean he wasn't cheating on her?
Although Scarlet didn't have any feelings for Lenny, she couldn't just stand by and watch him fall into a trap.
Gritting her teeth, she stamped her feet and made up her mind. She charged into the room and locked the door.
"Who are you?" the woman questioned immediately.
Scarlet ignored her question. She rushed forward and knocked the woman out. Afterward, she tied her up and dragged her into the bathroom.
She was grateful that she had been able to knock the scheming woman unconscious with just one blow.
Breathing heavily, she looked at the bed in the room. It appeared Lenny had fallen asleep.
Scarlet reasoned that she couldn't get evidence of his infidelity today.
She tucked him in and turned off the bedside lamp. She was about to walk out of the dimly-lit room when something unexpected happened. Her slender wrist was suddenly grabbed by a giant hand.
"Ouch! That hurts. Let me..."
Before Scarlet could finish speaking, the room began to spin. She collapsed on the bed the next second.
A heavy body fell on hers, sinking her into the soft bed. Lenny was now awake!
Lenny couldn't make out the woman's face. But from how her body felt, he knew that she was petite. Her fragrance was soothing. There was something inexplicably familiar about her. It was as if he had met her before.
When he tried to rack his brain, it was blank. He was about to lose control.
Desire surged through his veins like a blazing flame. His heart began to race. He suddenly became so thirsty.
His reason was on the verge of collapse. She was so petite. He doubted that she could bear his passion.
At this time, Scarlet was thinking of a way to escape. She tried to wriggle free. When she placed her hand on his chest to push him away, she realized that his skin was hot.
So hot!
Just when she was about to ask him what happened, his thin lips fell on hers. Scarlet's breathing stopped. A minty fragrance enveloped her.
In the blink of an eye, her clothes were torn off her. What happened next was something she never imagined in her wildest dreams.
Three months later, in Wellholt
"Any news?"
"Not yet, sir. But I have sent more people to look for that girl. Hopefully, they will report something soon."
"Find her!"
"Yes, sir!" Lenny's assistant replied. After hesitating for a moment, he inquired, "I don't mean to pry, Mr. Foster. But do you really want to divorce your wife?"
"Of course! There's someone who is more worthy of being Mrs. Foster than Scarlet." Lenny's tone was flat but powerful. The coldness and determination in his voice could not be ignored.
Ever since that fateful night, Lenny hadn't been able to take off thoughts about that woman. He didn't know how she got into the presidential suite. But he felt indebted to her. She had saved him. More so, he had taken her virginity.
He remembered how she cried and begged for mercy that night. Her voice echoed in his head countless times.
Lenny had no feelings for his wife. It was just a marriage of convenience for both families. He felt that she didn't love him too, so he reasoned that she wouldn't want to be stuck with him for the rest of her life.
Divorce was a relief for both of them.
Meanwhile, at the Foster family's villa
Scarlet had received the news of Lenny's return. He was expected to arrive home in the evening. The domestic staff was busy preparing for his arrival.
Scarlet had been pacing around the house. She wasn't happy at all.
All of a sudden, she heard a car honking from outside. Her forehead broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, her heart tightened.
Lenny was back!
