CHAPTER 291. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. To love you…—You’re going to drive me crazy. Why can’t I ever say no to you? Huh? —Loan whispered.—Because I’m the love of your life?—Ah! That’s it! I knew it was something like that!They laughed together, and after a shower, they left the house hand in hand, heading to Loan's parents' house.When they arrived, they saw his mom and sisters running around, preparing the final details. The Keller home was being transformed to welcome the wedding guests, and happiness filled the air.They spent a long time playing with Mauro before giving him a bath and dressing him in his little suit. Afterward, Loan and Danna said their goodbyes for a while.As she got ready to put on her dress, Luana lovingly did her hair to calm her nerves. Danna was very grateful to her because, ever since she had come into her life, Loan's mother had treated her as if she were her own daughter.—There, you’re beautiful, my dear —she said, placing the last flower in her hair—.

CHAPTER 292. I WILL MAKE YOU MINE. The Desperate Beginning of a Story**Five Months Later**Danna started having contractions at dawn. The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon when Loan heard her moan."Love? Love, are you okay?""No... it hurts, I think the baby’s coming," she murmured with a sigh, and he immediately got up.In a matter of minutes, he was ready. He helped Danna to the car and then settled Mauro into his seat in the back."We're going to get your little sister, sweetheart," Danna smiled at her little boy, and shortly after, they dropped him off with his grandparents while they continued to the hospital.The drive was a blur of lights, roads, and the occasional tree. Loan kept glancing at Danna every few minutes, making sure she was okay and offering words of encouragement whenever she felt pain. The contractions were coming more frequently, and Loan could see Danna tense up with each one. His heart ached, wishing he could do something to make the pain go a

CHAPTER 293. A NAUGHTY GIRL. PREFACEWidowed and with a two-month-old baby in his arms, with his career on hold and his dream shattered, Levi Ferguson learned his lesson: he doesn’t want a wife, doesn’t want a girlfriend, and doesn’t even want a mother for his child. He wants nothing to do with relationships that could leave his life worse than it already is. That’s why finding a girl with the same demons is so satisfying. She has no time to be a mother, wife, or girlfriend. She’s a businesswoman who’s only looking for hours of pleasure, and he’s willing to give her that and more. The only condition? Don’t bring your heart into the bedroom. The first one to fall in love, loses. After all, no one can get hurt when there’s no love... right?PREFACELevi Ferguson had a dream and the determination to make it happen. At twenty-nine, he was an expert skier and loved teaching. He was always among the top in championships and had undergone surgery on both hands due to Stener lesions, or Skie

CHAPTER 294. A NAUGHTY GIRL. That MouthLevi was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he felt for the blonde woman standing before him. He was certain he had put all of that behind him, sure he would never feel this way again. He was convinced he had learned his lesson and could stay away from women like her. After all, they only brought complications. But his eyes drifted downward without his control, drawn to the line where her breasts met, with a bead of sweat running between them. And Levi realized he would have given anything to lick it off.His reaction was instinctive: he yelled at her.Hers was better: she put him in his place so effectively that Levi spent the next hour with his son’s bassinet on his lap because there was no way to hide that erection.Half the time, he closed his eyes, and the other half, he seethed just imagining that every man in the store wanted to do exactly what he did to her.“Are you happy?” he growled when the store was finally empty.“Almost happy,” sh

CHAPTER 295. A NAUGHTY GIRL. So Well-Built!Noémi took a deep breath in front of the door. She had gone to the store the previous day just to put the idiot boss of Danna in his place after he had called her a "much older woman." The problem was that the idiot had a voice and presence strong enough to silence all the men in that store, and when she had gotten close to him, Noémi realized that he already had everything... in its place.She had enjoyed watching him get annoyed whenever she flirted with one of the customers, and she couldn’t help but marvel at how his eyes lit up when he smiled. Something about him drew her in, and she didn’t know what it was, but she did know that Levi Ferguson felt the same. He hadn’t stopped looking at her while selling the merchandise, and she could almost smell his jealousy when she kissed the guy who bought the snowmobile from them.“What kind of trouble are you getting yourself into, Noémi,” she grumbled to herself as she rode up the mountain on t

CHAPTER 296. A NAUGHTY GIRL. A lady’s place“When they’re this small, warmth, familiar smells, and the sound of your heartbeat calm them down,” she murmured, gently stroking the baby. She leaned in to kiss his head, and Levi stopped breathing when her lips accidentally brushed against his chest.Peter fell asleep immediately, and she put her coat back on, heading for the door.“Fatherhood suits you, Boss,” she smiled with a wink. “You look very… delicious.”Levi almost choked on his own tongue as she walked out laughing, and a second later, he admitted it to himself: he liked that woman. A lot.But that didn’t change the fact that they were on opposite sides of the board. She was the queen, and he was just another pawn in the game.He took a deep breath, knowing he might never see her again, but that didn’t stop him from thinking about her that night while he was doing laundry with the dirty sheets.And he couldn’t stop. Damn, he couldn’t stop! Her laughter echoed in his ears, and he

CHAPTER 297. A NAUGHTY GIRL. “She’s going to kill me!”Levi blushed all the way to the roots of his hair when he heard her say that, and it wasn't precisely because of morality, but because of that brief moment of imagination that made him think of Noémi Keller’s moans while she touched herself.“She’s going to kill me!”"Are you bored and have nothing better to do? Is that it?" he hissed, trying to push her away."Well, to be honest, I came here fully intending to help out in Danna’s place. Now, though, I don’t really care if you need help or not. I’ll settle for just sticking around and annoying you. So, you can go off and sulk over there, and I'll stay right here, happily... existing."Levi bit his lower lip at the challenge, but the truth was he couldn’t kick the boss's sister out of the store if he wanted to keep his job. He turned his back and went back to what he was doing."Oh, there's no need to put your shirt back on," she teased with a smile. "I like the view."Levi opened

CHAPTER 298. A NAUGHTY GIRL. True to Your WordDanna looked at her, not buying it for a second. She had no idea that despite having the most loving family, Noémi carried a secret that only she knew, a secret so heavy she hadn’t even told her own twin.“So, what are you going to do?” Danna asked.“What I always do—I’m going to get sexy, hit the best bar in town, and drink all the Martinis I want without paying for a single one.”“Because the bar is yours.”“That’s why!” her sister-in-law laughed. “I know it’s a bad investment, but I have my whims too,” Noémi said with a wink before heading to her room.Danna sighed with understanding. She felt that deep down, Noémi was too lonely, even when surrounded by people. So she picked up the phone and dialed a number.“Hi, boss. I just wanted to know how the day went. Did you miss me?” she asked innocently.“Of course I did. Are you feeling better?” he asked in return.“Yes, much better... In fact, I wanted to extend an invitation. The Keller

CHAPTER 299. A NAUGHTY GIRL. An Unfortunate CoincidenceShe was going to relax. That bar was hers, and yes, it was an impulsive purchase, but from the bartender to the security guard, everyone knew her, and she felt safe there. If she wanted to kick out all the customers and have the place to herself, she could. For someone carrying the stress of being the CEO of the largest bank in Switzerland, that bar was her little piece of heaven.Of course, there were always men hovering around, but both Don and Miki, the bartenders, were good at scaring off the annoying ones."Another Martini for the lady, please," a deep voice said from the end of the bar, and Noémi raised an eyebrow."Don’t serve me anything, Miki. I already told him I don’t want to drink with him," Noémi replied. The man was attractive and persistent, but not her type."That’s the third guy you’ve turned down tonight," Miki said with a grin. "Too stressed or too picky?""Too stupid," Noémi sighed. "The guy I want to sleep w

CHAPTER 300. A NAUGHTY GIRL. Your little gameLevi pressed his lips together in frustration. He didn’t even know why he was so upset. He had never been a rude man, much less impolite, but there was something about that woman that drove him crazy. However, he couldn’t bring himself to apologize as he should have, because she got into her car and hit the gas before he could say anything.Levi looked at the guy writhing on the ground; he wasn’t even worth giving a warning kick to. With what Noémi had done to him, he’d be peeing himself for the next three days without being able to help it.That night, he didn’t sleep, and for the record, it was because of the baby, not her! Or at least that’s what he told himself to feel better, but the truth was that he kept thinking about her.And Noémi was thinking about him too, but when Danna asked her about it the next morning, she just sighed tiredly.“Your little game didn’t turn out well, sis,” she muttered as they walked toward the cable car.
