Take My Breath Away

Kasie stared at Ivan, evidently confused by his words. "Why?"

Ivan wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Mr. Huo has his memories back."

She froze, eyes popped out, her mouth agape. "Really? How do you know? When did this happen?"

"Tonight, at the party. But Carlos, that cunning fox, kept it to himself. He may be waiting for the right time." Ivan didn't know him very well, but from what he could see, Carlos deserved to be seen as a cunning fox, in business and in his private life.

Kasie was still wallowing in the exciting news. "Does Debbie know?" 'Thank God! Maybe she'll finally have something good happen in her life, ' she thought, genuinely happy.

"I think Debbie is still in the dark. Don't tell her. Let's just focus on you and me for right now." Ivan gallantly held the door open to his apartment and let Kasie walk in first.

She felt around the wall for a light switch and turned it on. Being able to see, she searched for a pair of slippers, just like when entering her own home.

Ivan smiled as he watched her behave casually. He wanted her to feel comfortable.

"Why can't I tell her? That's so unfair. She's been hanging on, waiting. I'll give her a call." After shedding her coat, Kasie pulled out her phone to call Debbie.

But Ivan swiftly snatched her phone away from her hand and held onto her with his other arm. Leading her into the living room, he hissed, "No, don't ruin the moment."

Kasie stopped walking and looked at him with a serious look. "Seriously, why are you okay with that?" She thought Ivan must feel something for Debbie. Otherwise, why did he marry her?

Tossing her phone onto the sofa, Ivan pulled her into a hug and kissed her lips.

Kasie couldn't resist his affectionate kiss.

Gradually, the air between them became warmer. He pushed her up against the wall, and his kiss became more passionate. She locked her arms around his neck, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

His lips suddenly left hers, and seductive words came from them. "Kasie, I love you."

The woman who was so smitten with his kiss suddenly snapped back to reality. Her half-closed eyes abruptly opened wide like saucers.

But before she could react, Ivan scooped her up a

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.

n closed his eyes tightly; he was burning with desire already. "Kasie, please. This is torture."

Seeing the beads of sweat forming on his forehead, she tried her best to stifle her laughter. A single word left her lips, "Okay."

Taking this as permission, Ivan hungrily kissed her.

Ten-odd minutes later

A song echoed through the room, interrupting the busy pair. It was Ivan's ringtone. Frustrated, Ivan caught a glimpse of the caller ID on the phone screen. 'Let me guess...Carlos got to her!'

Kasie was ready for him, so she was also a bit flustered. Still, the ringtone went off again. She tried to calm her breathing and managed to gasp, "The phone... Just answer it."

Ivan wasn't really in the mood to care about the call, but since Kasie had urged him, he had no choice but to pick it up. "Mom."

"You brat! What else did you do behind my back? Think I wouldn't find out?" Elsie barked on the other end. It was rare for the graceful lady to throw a tantrum like that. Even Kasie was blown away by this.

Each word of her rant could be heard clearly in the dead of night.

With his eyes glued to Kasie's blushing face, Ivan asked calmly, "Mom, what's going on?"

"You tell me. Ivan, you... you love... men? How do you think that looks? Your dad and I are a laughingstock. And now you hook up with Debbie's best friend! What were you thinking? You need to come back home. Now!" Elsie was so pissed by what her son had done that she pretty much shouted at him over the phone.
