"I am glad to see you understand us, Duke. I am not accusing you. I have always been glad about your match with Belinda. Now that you have explained everything to me, I won't ask any more questions. However, I want to remind you that you, as a man, should be more decisive in breaking things off with that woman. Otherwise, she will get more involved in your life and keep on stirring up trouble, " said Sherry, her voice emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. As someone who had gone through a similar situation, she knew how a relationship could suffer when a third person got involved.

  "I know. I will fix this as soon as possible. I promise, " Duke frowned. It seemed to him the time had arrived to fire Rachel. He should have laid her off at the beginning itself, however, Belinda had asked him not to fire her.

  "Okay, go talk to the guests. I am sure you will handle this." Sherry smiled at Duke kindly, patting him on the shoulder. She was content with her son-in-law and didn't want to upset him any further.

  For the very first time, Belinda had seen her mother talk to someone in such a serious tone. She could tell Sherry was awfully scared something bad could entail out of this. Belinda approached her and gave her a hug. She whispered in her ears, "Mother, don't worry. We will be happy together."

  Yes, they would definitely be happily married. Rachel was just trying to sow dissension between them. But she was not powerful enough to sabotage their married life. Belinda saw the incident as a test to their relationship. Soon after Rachel had been kicked out, everyone present forgot about the intrusion and carried on with the festivities They made easy conversations with others, laughed and joked around. The wedding ceremony finally came to an end with a general feeling of cheer. Nobody was bothered that someone as inconsequential as Rachel Qin had tried to disrupt the ceremony. After all, the event marked the coming together of two very fortunate souls.

  Only a few hours after the ceremony was over, the couple boarded a plane to head to the mysterious country of Egypt, where they planned to spend their honeymoon. Belinda had always longed to go there, but never had a chance to do so. So, when Duke asked her where she felt like having their honeymoon. she picked Egypt as their destination without any second-guessing.

  Egypt was a wonderful country. It was home to one of the m

  Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

  To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

  "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

  She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

  Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

  he swiftly pecked Duke's lips as she passed him before rushing to get inside.

  Duke was stupefied at the kiss and it took him a while to come to himself. He touched his lips with his thumb lightly, smiling wolfishly. Duke glanced at the closed bathroom door with wicked eyes. It seemed to him their wedding night would be extraordinary.

  Belinda was not modest and put on a tight, seductive lingerie after her bath. She was not like Daisy, a cool military officer, or even Leena, a lovely little girl. Belinda was both a passionate woman and a commanding boss. But she also encountered situations she couldn't control, just like right now.

  Duke was used to seeing her in sexy lingerie. They had lived together for such a long time before. But his blood still thumped when Belinda walked out to the bedroom.

  "Why are you staring at me?" Belinda asked, lying on the bed. Duke moved to sit by her side and leaned forward to see what she was reading. His eyes were fixed on her red lips.

  "I am browsing through the travel guide." Belinda turned around to look at him, but found him so close that her lips touched his. She was frozen for a minute and blushed, realizing what had happened. She wanted to get up immediately but was too late to do so, because Duke had already climbed on top of her. He looked at her startled expression and breathed out.

  "You don't need to read the travel guide. I'll take care of everything. But for now, should we move on to the next step of the wedding?" Duke caressed her face as he smirked. He looked wicked, but so intoxicating that she wanted to get closer to him.
