MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Valerie was quite content with her life at present.

Devin, because of the child in her, had returned to his previous tenderness to her, at least on the surface.

These days, after finishing his work in the company, Devin would no longer hang out with his buddies or lovers as before but went home to company her for fear that she might be unhappy, and her bad mood might affect the unborn baby.

Valerie could see that Devin attached more important to the baby than to the one he had lost as if he rested all his hope on her tummy.

So was she.

Valerie looked down at her pregnant belly. This child had also brought her luck, even...

The child was not Devin's.

Darkness flashed in her eyes when she thought of this, and then it disappeared soon.

At first, she was really worried that the whole thing might be brought to light, and she couldn't sleep for several nights. But she slowly calmed down.

She had nothing to fear. No one knew what happened except Olivia and the man who had sex with her.

Who knew the man? And he would never again show in her life!

As for Olivia, she's still in a vegetative state and should have no chance to come around.

Valerie, with a smile of relief on her lips, took a piece of apple from the maid and ate it slowly.

If there was anything to distress her, that was her cousin, Savannah.

That bitch now not only charmed Dylan the very soul out of him but was also liked by old Sterling a lot.

Valerie could not imagine that her cousin married into the Sterling family one day and became Dylan's wife, and she would have to call her aunt.

At that time, her cousin, the daughter-in-law of old Sterling, was obviously in a higher position than her, the granddaughter-in-law.

No... Would she have to be inferior to her cousin all her life?

When they were young, Savannah had a happy, wealthy family, a beautiful mother, and a capable father. Later, she had Devin, a rich young man from a powerful family, as her fiancé.

In the future, she would become Mrs. Sterling, the young mistress of the Sterling family…

No!

Thinking of this, Valerie became a little upset again, and she had no mood to watch her favorite TV series. She threw the leftover fruit into the plate and sat straight.

After a while, she comforted herself. It's okay. She worried too much. Although old Sterling liked Savannah, he would not necessarily let her marry into the Sterling family.

Just then, a servant came in and called from the door, "Mrs. Yontz, you have a guest."

"Who?" Valerie roused herself and scowled.

Usually, no one would suddenly come to her. If her parents came, they would give her a call in advance.

As for her college classmates, she had no interest in keeping in contact with those common people, so she didn't tell anyone her address. Her future friends could only be the rich ladies of the upper class.

"I don't know," the servant shook his head, "the coming one is a young man, and he just said he's your old friend."

Valerie's heart began to pound with emotion. She had a bad feeling.

"Is he your relative or friend, Mrs. Yontz? Shall I invite him in?" asked the servant, respectfully.

"No," Valerie answered, "at the door? I'll go out and have a look."

"Shall I go with you?"

"No. I'll be back in a minute." Valerie dismissed the servant and went out of the villa by herself.

Outside the richly carved gate stood a rather familiar figure.

Her heart was in her mouth. Though the light was quite dim that morning and she was drunk, she could not forget the look of the man.

The man, not far away from her, with small eyes and dirty face, was the one who had sex with her in the bar!

Valerie trembled, and her face immediately turned pale!

Mike, who was enjoying the luxurious villa in front of him, approached Valerie with a cheeky smile when she saw him coming out, "Why do you look scared? Don't you remember me, honey?"

"What are you doing here? How do you know... I live here?" Valerie lowered her voice to a whisper.

"Oh, I not only know that you live in such a luxurious place, but I also know that you are the granddaughter-in-law of the Sterling family. I didn't know that I had fucked a young mistress from such a powerful family!" Mike said in a suggestive way, and then his evil eyes fell on Valerie's pregnant belly, "oh, you are pregnant...? How many weeks?"

The sweat started out on Valerie's backbone. "What do you mean? Stop dreaming! This child belongs to my husband! How am I supposed to have a baby for you, a bastard?" She said coldly, for fear that he should guess anything.

Mike didn't say much but laughed, "It hurts my heart to hear you say that, honey. Anyway, we had sex before..."

"Shut up! Don't say anything about that!" Valerie growled in a low voice, fearing to be heard. She looked around and shouted, "what do you want?"

"Well, since you say that, I won't beat around the bush. I'm short of cash these days. I need some money." Mike said racily.

Valerie had guessed that this man was just for money, her face darkening, "how much?"

"Not much, one hundred thousand." Mike made a number.

Valerie gnawed her teeth. She was reluctant to satisfy this rogue, but she was also afraid that he might say everything out when pressed. "Okay, give me your account number. But the only condition is, you can't appear in front of me again, and you can't mention that day again!"

Mike was surprisingly pleased when saw Valerie agreed so soon, and he even slightly regretted that he should ask more. "Well, then I wait for you to transfer the money," with these words, he took out a note which had been prepared and handed it to Valerie.

He was about to turn to leave when Valerie stopped him coldly, "wait a minute."

Mike stopped and hissed, "What's up? Do you want to spend another night with me?"

"Shut up! Just tell me how you know my identity?" Valerie clenched her fist.

It had been several months since that day. If this gangster had known that she was Mrs. Yontz, he would have come to her long ago.

Mike felt the wound on his face and sneered, "Speaking of this, I really owe it to my injury."

"What do you mean?" Valerie frowned.

"Several evenings ago, a girl came to Hot Bird and showed your picture to people, asking if they had ever seen you. I coaxed that beautiful girl to a box, but before I could fuck her, her man came in time and gave me a good beating…Damn, then I stayed in bed for more than a week! I got so worked up and wondered who that girl was, so I checked on you. Finally, I found out that the woman who had a one-night stand with me is actually the wife of Master Yontz! Anyway, I was beaten up because of you, so you should give me money as damages!"
