Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 9

Julie stopped dead in her tracks, feeling almost disgusted with herself. She'd always had this habit since she was a kid. Whenever Kieran told her to stop, she would. Even after seven years, she couldn't get rid of this deep-rooted habit.

A woman with full makeup, dressed in a silk nightgown, her ample bosom peeking out alluringly, was showing her perfectly sculpted curves.

A man and a woman were in the same room, fresh out of the shower, still in their pajamas. It wasn't rocket science to figure out what might have happened or what was about to happen.

At that moment, Julie felt a pang of nausea. Bertha had just died, and he's already frolicking around with another woman in a hotel?

"Kieran, I found us some fun," the woman cooed, sidling up to Kieran and pressing her chest against him, "The girl selling condom looks like need some cash. I told her I'd buy ten boxes if she shows us how to use them. Hey, she's pretty. Why's she selling condoms? Shouldn't she be selling herself instead? Right?"

"Out!" Kieran's icy lips uttered the harsh command.

The woman might have some guts, but she had no wish to have trouble here.

Her boss had sent her over to Mr. Hernandez for one night stand with a tantalizing offer, but she wasn't going to get punched over a quick buck. So, with a hint of regret, she grabbed her clothes and bag and made her exit.

Julie chuckled bitterly, thinking of her past self, always so obedient in front of Kieran.

She loved him, and the deeper she loved, the more subservient she became.
