Chapter 175
Adam’s face was already dark, but when he saw how she struggled, pushing against his waist with her pale knees, his expression grew even more ominous
“Willie, I saw someone on this way!” a voice called out.
Willie Dougherty and his men had arrived. Adam recognized him immediately. Willie was second in command in the underworld, and his hands were stained with blood
Willie was here for an affair, and Celine had caught him in the act. There was no way he would let her leave this situation unscathed.
In the criminal world, there were rules. The black and white forces didn’t mix. Adam didn’t want to stir up trouble, but things were rapidly spiraling out of control.
As Willie and his bodyguards approached, one of them pointed in their direction. “It’s them!”
Adam didn’t waste any time. He pulled Celine toward him and kissed her hard on the lips.
Celine knew they were near. Before she could react, darkness enveloped her as Adam’s lips pressed against hers with an intensity that left no room for resistance. The kiss was almost brutal, filled with frustration and raw emotion as if he was releasing some pent–up an
anger.
She instinctively pushed against his chest, trying to break free, but Adam’s low voice stopped her. “Do you want to die?”
She didn’t want that, but she also didn’t want this. “It hurts
She frowned, her face scrunching up in discomfort, like a child caught in an awkward situation.
Adam’s less softened as he sensed her discomfort. He kissed her gently, pulling her closer
Celine’s hands, which had been pushing against his chest, slowly curled and grabbed the fabric of his shirt. Her gentle submission made Adam pull her closer, wrapping his arms around her as he kissed her again.
They were hidden behind a large stone, with only Adam’s tall, muscular form visible to anyone who might pass by
Willie immediately recognized Adam. He halted his bodyguards and grinned. “It’s not them. That’s Mr. Alvarez!”
Willie’s eyes gleamed with amusement. “I didn’t expect to find Mr. Alvarez here, enjoying a little private time with a woman.”
Although he couldn’t see Celine’s face, the sight of her slender arm, pale and smooth, was enough to spark his interest. She had to be special it Adam was interested
Willie’s expression Erew lecherous. He couldn’t wait to see Celine’s face.
One of the bodyguards whispered, “Willie, that person definitely went in that direction. We should follow.”
“Let’s go,” Willie said, leading his men away.
As their footsteps receded, Celine let out a relieved sigh. She pushed Adam away with all her strength. “They’re gone.”
Adam reluctantly pulled away from her lips. “So, once they’re gone, you push me away? You’re so pragmatic, Celine.
Though Celine was unsure how Adam had ended up here, she offered a sincere thank you. “Mr. Alvarez, thank you for helping me
She tried to step away, but Adam blocked her, trapping her against the large stone.
His gaze traveled slowly down her bikini–clad body, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover herself.
“Mr. Alvarez, where are you lookdag?” she asked
Adam’s lips naled into a smirk “Didn’t you wear this to get attention? Now that you’ve caught my eye, isn’t that exactly what you wanted? “Are you serious?” Celine snapped, narrowing her eyes in frustration. This outfit was bought by Mr. Lynch, and I only wear it for him!”
He hadn’t bought her anything. Those were for Carly
Adam’s utile deepened at her sharp reply. Reaching out, he pinched her soft cheek playfully. “Is that so? What do you want then? More clothes? I’ll buy you whatever you like –
