Chapter 69

Liam Sullivan’s gaze sharpened.

He snatched the silk duvet and wrapped it tightly around Vivian Bennett’s naked body.

Vivian curled into the covers, avoiding Isabella Sullivan’s piercing stare.

But that gaze had already locked onto her.

Isabella pressed her red lips together.

Her eyes turned to ice.

It was her!

That bitch dared to lay a finger on her brother!

"Get out!"

Liam’s voice dropped low.

The pressure filled the entire room.

Isabella gripped the doorknob tightly.

She forced down the surging jealousy and retreated reluctantly.

The moment the door closed, her beautiful face twisted.

Vivian took the chance to move toward the edge of the bed.

Rumors said this brother and sister had a tangled relationship.

There was even talk of a secret love child...

Now that she had been caught in such a compromising situation, how could she ever show her face at Sullivan Group again?

Resentment mixed with fear washed over her.

She had been forced, yet she had to pay for his indiscretions.

"Try moving again."

Liam grabbed her ankle and dragged her back beneath him.

Vivian glared at him, unable to hold back. "Do you want your sister to catch us in bed again? Aren't you afraid she'll lose her mind?"

A storm gathered in his eyes. "Say that again."

"Isn't it true? Are you forcing me to be the scapegoat for your shame?"

Her voice trembled, but she met his terrifying gaze defiantly.

Liam’s knuckles turned white.

He suddenly leaned down and bit her earlobe. "Scapegoat? You weren't so righteous when you were wrapped around me earlier."

Vivian’s cheeks burned. "That was... a physiological reaction!"

"Reaction?" He chuckled lowly.

His burning palm slid under the covers. "Shall we test it again?"

She pushed against his chest in panic. "Liam Sullivan! This is workplace sexual harassment!"

He gripped her waist abruptly.

His eyes darkened dangerously. "Harassment? Touching my woman is my right."

"Who is your—"

Her protest was swallowed by his kiss.

The silk covers slipped, revealing the mottled red marks on her shoulders.

Liam’s breathing grew rough.

He pressed her hard into the mattress.

"Now, I'll show you who's in charge."
