Blanca had been lying against the sofa. Now she sat up.
She didnât know what had happened between Kylie and Todd, but she and Todd were past tense now!
âBlanca, I...â
âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâm going to hang up.â Blanca bit her lip. Her only flaw as a person was probably that she was soft-hearted, especially to people sheâd once cared for.
Kylie had introduced her to Todd in the first place. The two of them were college classmates. Back then, Blanca was working already, and occasionally had meals with Kylie. With that back and forth, she met Todd more often, who then started courting her.
Blanca settled her thoughts and was about to hang up when there came a sudden exclamation from the other end. âI wonât give up so easily, Blanca!â
Blanca had already hung up.
Her feelings were in the past, dust in the wind.
âWho was that?â
The sudden voice startled Blanca. She almost tossed the phone out as she jumped. Then she found that Matthew had appeared before her at some point. âA friend.â
âJust a friend?â Matthew walked over, looking down upon Blanca from the bedside, lips curving. âOr an ex-boyfriend?â
Blancaâs gaze drooped and she didnât speak.
Her fist tightened, though.
It wasnât because she was lonely without Todd, but... what right did Matthew have to talk to her like that? What did he think he was doing? Catching her out?
âDonât forget who you are, Blanca.â
The low tone made him sound exactly like a man whoâd caught his wife cheating.
And that pissed Blanca off!

She was only in a shifty nightgown right now, showing her smooth leg and collarbone. From where Matthew stood, he could see that she wasnât wearing anything else underneath...
And she just had to raise her head up at him.
His throat suddenly moved.
As his gaze slowly darkened, Blanca was still pissed as she looked up at him. What, did he really think he was something else just for standing a little bit higher? She leaned against the bedrest and stood up on the bed, barefoot. âIâm telling you right here and now, Matthew Grant. Weâre cooperating.
Cooperating, got it? And in a cooperation, whatâs important is to get ourselves in a win-win situation. Weâre in an equal position. Iâm acting that youâre my husband well enough out there, but my private love life isnât something for you to pry into, is it?â
With Matthew leaving her at the mall today, Blanca had been holding a grudge for a full day.
If he really wasnât afraid of rumors of them arguing spreading out, why would he leave her there?
Of course, what she didnât know was that the whole mall had Matthewâs investments in it, and nobody would have dared spread any rumors about what happened.
âPrivate love life?â
âRight. And who I call along with and who I interact with is my own business.â
Matthew suddenly drew close, one long leg kneeling on the bed, and reached out, pushing Blanca down! He leant up, disregarding Blancaâs struggles, and grinned, âSo youâre planning on seeing this ex of yours?â
âI... why yes. Yes I am.â She hadnât planned to give Todd the time of day, but Blanca was all in now!
Still, at this moment, she was lying in bed, sitting up slightly with her upper body, while Matthew separated her legs with his knee and pressed on her...
