A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 45

Soon, the door was opened. But it was Lorenzo who opened it.

Maria was taken aback. She didn't expect to see him here. Moreover, he was only wearing a shirt. She cleared her throat. "Are you and James together?" she asked.

Lorenzo's brows creased in confusion. But then, he impatiently asked, "What?"

Instead of answering him, Maria pushed him aside and rushed inside. And much to her surprise, James was sitting leisurely on the sofa. He was working on his laptop with his legs crossed. She raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was doing there. He was supposed to be having sex with Ms. Li.

James glared at Maria gloomily, but the latter just ignored it. She poked her head into the bedroom and blurted out, "So soon?"

Lorenzo, who was now standing behind her, was still full of confusion. But James, on the other hand, understood what she meant. He clenched his fists and called out her name through clenched teeth. "Maria Song!"

He still remembered what Maria had done to him earlier.

Maria turned to look at him and nodded. "What's up?" She then trotted over to the sofa and sat down next to him. With a serious look on her face, she asked in a surprised tone, "Are you impotent now because of wallowing in sex in the past?"

After she spat those words out, she looked around. As her gaze moved from James to Lorenzo and back, she sensed something wrong.

James closed his laptop and said to Lorenzo, "Close the door when you go out."

Lorenzo, who immediately understood what he meant, replied, "Yes, Mr. Xi." Before he turned around, he cast Maria a disdainful look. He then walked towards the door and left the room.

Noticing Maria's dull look, Lorenzo couldn't help thinking, 'Maria Song, you're such a fool. You will definitely be taught a lesson this time.'

Click! Maria heard the sound of the door being locked. It was only then that she realized that Lorenzo was gone. She was left alone with James in the room. As soon as she saw his gloomy expression, she jumped up from the sofa at once.

"Mr. Xi...well...urn... I would like to apologize for the misunderstanding," she stammered. 'Maria, you are such an idiot. You don't deserve being trained by Norman. You are a stupid woman,' she scolded herself inwardly.

James' suite was neat and clean, and he was appropriately dressed up. Obviously, he didn't have sex with Ms. Li. It was most likely that he had driven Ms. Li away.

James slowly stood up, pulled out his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt with one hand.

As his muscular chest partly came into view, Maria swallowed hard. 'James Xi, you are finally in the jaws of death!' she screamed in her mind. She couldn't deny the fact that he was still her cup of tea. She was obsessed with his every move. He was so charming in her eyes.

With a straight face, James threw his tie on the sofa, rolled up his sleeves, and reached out to grab Maria, who was at a loss fancying on him.

Maria came back to her senses. She was not that naive not to know that he wanted to hug her and make love to her. Hence, the moment she noticed that he would attack her, she leaned back to dodge him.

Maria did her best to avoid him. But unfortunately, James was determined to teach her a lesson today, so he continued to seize her.

Eventually, they had a brawl in the living room of his presidential suite. Maria braced herself to deal with James. She found an opportunity to kick off her high heels, and she felt more comfortable struggling against him. When she caught sight of the door on the other side, she thought of escaping as soon as possible.

That was the right thing to do. She had to stay away from him before he could succeed with his evil plan. When she had sneaked in Fairview Villa last time, she had already know she was no match for James in fighting. Now she could only run as fast as she could to avoid his punishment.

After a two-minute scuffle, Maria was finally pushed on the sofa with her face down. James then pressed her legs with his knees, pushed her back with one hand, and grabbed his tie with the other. No matter how much she resisted, he was able to successfully tie her hands.
