Chapter 1 Kiss the Wrong Person
The living room was dimly lit, and a flickering candelabra on the coffee table cast a soft glow that highlighted the intertwined couple on the sofa.
The woman beneath the man who had broad shoulders was crying and moaning.
Abruptly, the man paused.
"Is this your first time?"
Elianna Gentry snapped out of the pain, but the fear that followed quickly overshadowed it.
That voice which was not so familiar made her chill.
Because she realized the man pressing on her was not her fiancé.
Instead, he was the elder brother of her fiancé, Jefferson Larsen.
A wave of panic surged within her as she forced her mind which became numb after drinking to recall what had happened.
Just earlier that day, she had gotten engaged to Asher Larsen, her beloved fiancé.
Tonight was meant to be their precious wedding night...
But...
After she was undressed, Asher left her alone in the room after he received a phone call from his cousin Kenley.
Even as she pleaded for him to stay, he insulted her by saying she was too horny.
Later, she drank up an entire bottle of red wine.
In her daze, she vaguely remembered Asher returning.
This time, he was exceptionally passionate.
So passionate that he pinned her down on the sofa.
The clearer her memories became, the colder Elianna felt. She trembled as she asked, "You, you..."
The man on top of her smiled and looked at her with deep eyes. He spoke to her in a joking tone.
"What's the matter, Anna?"
Hearing those words, Elianna was overwhelmed with anger. Suddenly, she pushed him away and stood barefoot on the ground. She pointed at him, her lips still trembling.
"Why... why did you..."
Jefferson slowly sat up, took a pack of cigarettes, and lit one. He took a deep drag, and while smoking he looked at Elianna from head to toe. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Sorry, I thought this was your way of showing hospitality."
"You!"
Elianna knew he was twisting the truth, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Because she vaguely remembered that she had been the one to hug him first.
Besides, Jefferson's reputation proceeded him, not only because of his high status but also his bad temper. No one dared to mess with him.
"Elianna."
Jefferson's charming voice turned husky, which sounded even more erotic.
"Do you want to put on some clothes?"
Elianna whose mind was muddled looked down at herself and finally realized that she was naked the whole time, while Jefferson was still dressed in pants and a shirt.
She screamed as she crouched on the ground and wrapped her arms around herself.
Jefferson noticed that her body was shaking, and her back was stretched as she hugged herself.
He picked up his suit from the floor and threw it to her. Then he turned away and took another drag.
Elianna quickly covered herself with the suit and hurriedly dressed herself while hiding behind the sofa.
At the same time, she tried to calm herself down.
The Gentry family had strict family rules and conservative values which bordered on stiff.
After a mental struggle, she regained her composure before speaking to him again.
"I hope, Jefferson, that we can pretend all these had never happened."
"You came here to find Asher, didn't you? He's not here, and it's late."
If what had happened got around, she would be dead.
She was implying that he could just leave.
Elianna felt overwhelmed and just wanted to rid herself of this troublesome situation. Little did she know that Jefferson relished in doing the opposite of what he was told. The more someone tried to restrict him, the more determined he was to go against their wishes.
He was happy to cause trouble.
Seeing that she was avoiding him, Jefferson chose to stay and crossed his legs, as if he were in his own home.
He glanced at the roses and wine on the table and looked at Elianna again. He mocked, "The atmosphere is quite pleasant, and you're sweet, too."
Elianna was embarrassed, feeling like she was examined by him, and he could see her through.
Jefferson's words reminded her that her fiancé had abandoned her in such circumstances.
"Jefferson, you took advantage of me just now. It's going too far to insult me like this!"
At that moment, Elianna was trying to be intimidating but failed. It only made Jefferson want to tease her.
Jefferson chuckled and looked even more charming under the dim light in the room.
"Don't act like a chaste maiden. My brother is probably sleeping with Kenley. He has no time for you."
What Jefferson suggested sent a shiver down Elianna's spine.
Attempting to stay calm, Elianna explained, "Kenley is like a sister to Asher. She lost her parents at a young age, and Asher has taken care of her all these years."
Jefferson sneered, "Do you really not know about this or are you just pretending?"
Elianna remained silent, but her messy breathing gave her away.
Jefferson suddenly got up and came closer to her until Elianna found herself entirely covered by his shadow.
He tapped her shoulder with his slender index finger and said, "Since you claim that I've taken advantage of you, I’ll make it up to you. Put on your coat, and I’ll take you to see..."
He whispered into her ear word by word, "Them making love."
