Half-past eleven in the evening at the seaside villa.
The dishes on the table were sumptuous while Charlotte Weiss' face was very pale.
She was waiting for her husband to come home. Her husband, Matthias Brooks, was the well-known chairman of Brooks Group in Averna City and a coveted partner in the hearts of countless girls.
Contrary to what was supposed to be a happy marriage in the eyes of outsiders, Charlotte was full of bitterness.
Matthias treated her like she was inexistent. He would only go home every night because he was bound to an agreement.
If it was not for this agreement, Matthias definitely wouldn't step foot into this luxurious villa.
After half an hour, there was a noise coming from the villa entrance. Matthias was back.
"Come, let's eat. I'll heat the food," Charlotte ushered him as she stood up enthusiastically and headed towards the kitchen with the dishes.
"Save it." Matthias replied indifferently, "I've abided by the agreement that required me to come home by the end of the day, but it is not stated that I have to eat the food you cooked."
Having said that, Matthias raised his tone and uttered word by word, "I find it disgusting!"
Charlotte's hands that were holding the dishes trembled uncontrollably. Matthias' words were like a sword that had pierced through her heart.
"Matthias, it's been seven years... you... Don't you care about me at all?"
"No, not at all! I feel disgusted with every minute I spent with you!"
Matthias answered forthrightly with his face contorted.
Charlotte's body flinched and tears streamed down her cheeks.
When Matthias saw that the detestable woman was sad, he smiled smugly and walked up to her to continue lashing out.
"Have you forgotten how you have come to be Mrs. Brooks?"
He said, "Let me spark your memory. Seven years ago, I asked you to save my sister by donating your bone marrow to her. However, you threatened me to sign this marriage contract in exchange for my sister's life. My hatred for you is utterly deep-rooted. It was you who ruined our relationship. If it wasn't for that, I would have been grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Charlotte's eyes were filled with despair, brimming with endless sadness.
Matthias was startled to see Charlotte's gaze.
After getting married, he had never seen this side of Charlotte. She was always stubborn and strong, and she would never show any weaknesses. However, when she was in this state, it was enough to arouse his desire to subdue her.
However, such a desire was quickly dismissed by reason, and he returned to being cold and indifferent.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going upstairs." Matthias turned to leave. Although they were living under the same roof, they slept in separate rooms.
When he was turning around on his heels, Charlotte rushed over and hugged Matthias' waist firmly.
"Matthias, according to the agreement, I want you to sleep with me."
Charlotte leaned her head on Matthias's back and murmured.
Her voice seemed to have an alluring power and Matthias's body shuddered for a moment.
He asked before his logical self kicked in, "What did you just say?"
Charlotte stared at him with a pair of lustful eyes and replied, "In the agreement, I can also make a request each day besides asking you to come home every night. I'd never said this before, but today, I want to use this right. The requirement is very simple, you have to... sleep with me!"
Matthias' gaze changed in a heartbeat and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He took Charlotte into his embrace.
"Charlotte, I didn't expect you to be so cheap. Fine, I agree." Matthias narrowed his eyes as he was determined. He swept Charlotte off her feet, carried her, and then threw her on the couch.
It was merely bedding her. Since she was so desperate, he would just do it on the couch.
Matthias stared at the expectant Charlotte and let out a cold snort. He then aggressively climbed on top of her.
