A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 231

Maria threw the bag of potato chips aside and swiveled to him. "What's wrong? Keep playing the video. I want to see! I've never watched this kind of movie before."

And it was true, hence her overwhelming curiosity.

James expression grew darker even under the dimness of the cinema. "Let's just watch another movie."

"No, please! Let me look at the man." It would pain her to admit this, but she had never seen another man's private parts, only James'.

James grabbed his phone and dialed a number. "Send ten women to Ethan's apartment and lock them in. No one is allowed to come out before sunrise!"

'Ten women?

Wow.' Maria's jaw hung open for a second time.

"Can you just send the video to my phone then? Please? I'll watch it by myself, okay?"

"No way!" he thundered.

"Oh, don't be so petty! It's just a video."

He was being petty? Didn't she just want to see another man's private parts? There was no way in hell he was going to let that happen!

Maria matched his stubbornness, however. "Come on," she whined, shaking his arm. "Let me watch and learn different positions. I'll be sure to give you even better experiences in the future."

James said nothing.

He took hold of her waist and pulled herto him until she was straddling his lap. She gazed down at him, her confusion clear in her eyes.

The tips of her long, fragrant hair teased his nose. His hands slid to her nape, and he slowly pulled her face down until he was devouring her lips.

He didn't let her go for a while, and when he finally did, they were both panting. "How about I teach you the techniques myself?" he whispered in a hoarse voice.

All too sudden, she didn't feel like learning anymore.

Escape was impossible, of course. Before she knew what was happening James pressed her into the sofa and forced the questionable education upon her.

As the clock neared midnight, everyone in the city was celebrating the New Year. The downtown square was full of people who were waiting for the countdown.

Maria pulled the reluctant man behind her, who was sporting casual street clothes, and they joined the crowd. They managed to get to the center of the square just to minutes before the New Year came.

The only thing James wanted in that moment was to sleep with this woman through New Year's Eve.

But Maria had insisted on taking a second shower right after their first round, and had begged him to drive downtown and celebrate with other people.

Excitement vibrated in the air as the clock's minute hand went closer and closer to 12. Most of the people here were young, and they didn't appear to feel the cold at all.

The HL Group building was not far from here, and they had mounted a LED screen outside that displayed the time in digital format.

Just then, Maria grabbed his hand urgently and stood on her toes to whisper in his ear. "Look over there!

Someone is cheating on his woman!"

Following her gaze, he saw two women and a man standing a short distance from them. The man was standing on the left, and he was holding hands with the woman standing on the right, behind the back of the woman in the middle. The woman between them was oblivious.

James quickly looked away and glanced at her in silence.

Maria rolled her eyes. This guy was a total killjoy!

The crowd around them started to chant to the countdown, and Maria held onto James' arm. "Let's count together!"

He kept his mouth shut, wondering to himself, 'Shouldn't I be looking down at H City from my perch on the top floor of that building, all warm and cozy?' Why, then, was he out her in the cold, looking up at his office instead?

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!" The people's voices grew louder as the numbers neared one.

Maria was shouting along with them. "Five! Four! Three!"

The moment they all yelled the number one, the time stamp on the LED screen changed to a new year.
