Before Maeve could finish her question, Byron leaned in, murmuring a few words in her ear. Within seconds, her
ears flushed red. He laughed softly beside her, his voice so husky it sent shivers down her spine.
"Y-you... Maeve's voice trembled as she struggled to speak, her limbs flailing as she tried to free herself from his
arms.
Her efforts were in vain. Despite using all her strength, she couldn't break free from his hold. Instead, her

"Move again, and you'll have to deal with the consequences, Byron warned, his voice both intimidating and
alluring. His words made Maeve freeze, shrinking into his embrace as she shivered from the mounting tension.
"Are you for real?" Marve's voice quivered. Tim still sick, and you're acting like this..."
Byron let out a chuckle, his fingers casually stroking her soft hand. "No matter how fragile you might be, you're
still my woman. Why can't 1?"
"Who's your woman?" Maeve bit her lip in anger. "If you want a woman, go to Karen. Stop harassing me."
Her jealousy was palpable, and Byron's eyes softened with a faint smile. "Maeve, are you jealous?"
Maeve's breath faltered, and she quickly retorted, "Why would | be jealous?"
"You're jealous of Karen, Byron said teasingly, holding her slender waist and turning her to face him.
Maeve blushed slighaly. She pushed him away and snapped, "Who's jealous of Karen? Stop making things up!"
Byron gently pinched Maeve's chin, gazing intently at her as he asked, "This morning when you said | was seeing
another woman, were you referring to Karen At the time, he had thought she was just talking nonsense to
escape the situation. Maeve looked him in the eye without flinching. "Even Alex thought you two were a couple
Mr. Mcdaniel, you should reflect
on that."
When Byron heard the mention of Alex, his eyes darkened as he questioned, "Then what's going on between you
and that pretty boy? Aren't you two getting a bit too close? Do you even consider how | feel?"
"Aren't you overthinking this?" Maeve countered, feeling both aggrieved and perplexed. "Isn't it more outrageous
that you forcedto take care of Karen?"
Byron was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he said with a serious tone. "I see Karen as a friend. It's
not what you think " 08:14 Tue, Oct 22

Before she could finish, Byron silenced her with a fierce kiss, leaving her unable to utter a single word. His chest
seemed to burn with a fiery rage, and Maeve's mention of divorce only made the flames flare up, consuming the
last bit of his rationality. Due to her illness, Maeve's body was warmer than usual. Byron's lips pressed against
hers with an intensity that felt almost threatening.
"You were the one who provoked me; I'll decide when it's over, he uttered, his voice raspy with a dangerous
edge. Maeve's lashes fluttered, but before she could respond, he pressed her down, forcing her to accept his

Never had she felt so keenly that if Byron was serious, she would be powerless to resist.
She was completely at his mercy, unable to fend off his advances. Although she struggled internally, her body
gradually softened under his touch, making her resistance appear more like a feeble attempt,
"Byron," Maeve cried out, fighting to regain scomposure, glaring at the man before her with reddened eyes.
"This isn't part of the agreement!"
Byron showered her car with soft kisses, his breath hot against her skin. "Words are meaningless. Showthe
proof."
Maeve's eyes widened in shock at his audacity.
Looking at Marve's incredulous expression, the tension in Byron's heart eased slightly. He rested his forehead
gently against hers, gradually calming his breathing "Get a hold of yourself. You're still sick. I'm not going to take
this any further." Maeve breathed a sigh of relief, but her hand was still held tightly by him. She looked up and
met his intense gaze.
"However, to teach you a lesson, I'll be collecting sinterest, he said teasingly.
Maeve narrowed her eyes. "What?"
Byron, with a somewhat satisfied expression, sat beside her. "Haven't you had a relationship before? Why do you
