Chapter 14
Between Jessica and Wendy, Stanley would always choose Jessica.
Wendy was never her match.
Stanley cast a cold glance at the man before him, his thin lips spitting out a single icy word, “Leave.”
Terrified, the man fled without daring to look back.
Stanley’s sharp gaze lowered to Jessica, and he pulled his ann free from her grasp. “Jessica, have you had enough of this nonsense?”
Jessica stiffened, her expression freezing. “Are you scolding me? If I hadn’t caused a scene, you’d be in bed with Wendy right now!”
Stanley remained expressionless. “So you drugged yourself?”
Jessica, long spoiled by Stanley, lifted her chin haughtily. “Yes, Stanley. If you dare touch Wendy, I’ll make sure another man touches me!”
Stanley’s face darkened, his mood oppressive enough to chill the air. Without another word, he turned and walked
away.
He left.
He didn’t even try to coax her.
As Stanley strode through the bar, his striking good looks and commanding presence drew every woman’s gaze. They ogled him, their desire plain on their faces.
Jessica, ever the strategist, wouldn’t give Wendy–or any of these women–the chance.
The proud princess immediately swallowed her pride and lunged forward, wrapping her arms around Stanley’s lean waist from behind. “Stanley, don’t go.”
Stanley paused.
Jessica clung to him tightly, her red lips pouting as she whimpered, “Stanley, I’m sorry. It’s just… I love you so much. I can’t bear the thought of you touching another woman.”
As she spoke, she nuzzled her face into his back. “Stanley, I feel so dizzy.”
Stanley stood silently for a moment before turning around. Without a word, he scooped Jessica into his arms.
Her delicate frame rested effortlessly in his strong embrace drawing countless envious stares from those around them. Jessica looped her arms around his neck, her lips curling into a victorious smile.
Thirty minutes later, Stanley carried Jessica into Saville Villa.
Unlike the marital home he shared with Wendy at Imperial Garden, this villa was where Stanley lived alone. Its black, white, and gray palette exuded understated luxury, every inch reflecting wealth and luxury.
Inside the master bedroom, Stanley laid Jessica on the soft, plush bed.
As he turned to leave, Jessica wrapped her arms around his neck. “Stanley, are you still mad at me?”
Stanley reached for her hand, intending to remove it.

But Jessica leaned in close, her delicate face inches from his In a soft, sweet voice, she cooed, “Big Brother!”
The words froze Stanley in his tracks,
For a moment, an image of Wendy flashed through his mind. Had Wendy ever called him ‘Big Brother‘?
No, it must have been his imagination. Wendy wouldn’t call him that. This term of endearment belonged solely to Jessica.
Placing both hands on either side of her, Stanley leaned closer and said gently, “Don’t do this again.”
Jessica knew he couldn’t resist her calling him ‘Big Brother
It was her secret weapon–the one thing that let her push boundaries and still have Stanley indulge her.
Suddenly, Stanley asked, “Jessica, where’s the jade pendant I gave you back then?”
Jessica’s eyes flickered.
The pendant wasn’t with her. It was somewhere else.
She couldn’t let him find out. She had to retrieve it first.
“I left it at home,” she said quickly, changing the subject.
Jessica tightened her hold on his neck, pulling him closer. Their lips were nearly touching, the atmosphere charged with an intimate tension. Her voice turned sultry. “Stanley, I’ve been drugged.”
Stanley’s gaze briefly shifted to her flushed lips. “And?”
“You’re my cure.”
With that, she leaned in to kiss him.
