John chuckled coldly. To him, Nicole was like a bird trapped in his cage, completely under his control. 




At the same time, Nicole was starting to feel a wave of dizziness overcome her. Right when John was about to grab her, a cold voice rang out. “Let go of Miss Chapman.”




Then, someone jumped over the wall and landed in front of Nicole, blocking John’s way. Staring at the man, who got in his way, John snapped, “How dare you trespass into my private housing area? Get out of my way.”




“Please leave, Miss Chapman,” Rey turned around and said to Nicole.




“Mr. Osborne?” Nicole gasped in shock. However, she could only continue making her way toward the door while her body continued heating up uncomfortably. 




Right after she opened the door, she ran into a warm embrace before a strong pair of arms reached out to steady her, causing her to groan before her head snapped up abruptly.




 When she saw the man, who was one head taller than her, her eyes widened. Why is it him? Why is Drake here?




“You’re as stubborn as a mule.” Drake had no intention of sounding nice, telling her off as soon as she came into view.




Upon hearing that, Nicole was rendered speechless, and she couldn’t deny that Drake was way more reliable than John. 




Then, she reached out to grab Drake's shoulder to steady herself. “Help me… Take me out of this place."




Upon hearing that, Drake instructed Rey, “Teach him a lesson.”




After that, he carried Nicole, who curled up immediately, and headed to his car.




On the other hand, Rey, who was initially blocking John’s way, mercilessly landed a jab on John’s face, following a round house on his body. Instantly, the tycoon fell to the ground in pain. “Who are you? Who is the man outside? I won’t let you guys off the hook for this!”




“Who gave you the audacity to hit on President Butler's woman?”




“What?! Is the man outside… Drake Butler?” John exclaimed in shock before he pleaded, “I’m sorry… I made a mistake. Please let Young Master Drake know that I’m sorry…”




After Rey left, John hunched down to the ground. He was in so much pain that he couldn't say anything as cold sweat started

forming..




Nicole actually became Drake's woman?




Although John had already noticed that

Drake seemed to have his eyes on Nicole

as well, he didn't expect the plan to fall

through..




On the other hand, Nicole felt her body burning up even more in the backseat of the car, and she felt even more uncomfortable in her half-lying posture. Suddenly, she clung to Drake's neck as if grinding against him would make her feel better.




“Please save me… Bring me to the hospital…” Nicole stared at Drake with teary eyes as if she was a pitiful rabbit.




At this moment, Rey entered the car before he turned to the man in the backseat of the car and asked, “Where are we heading, Young Master Drake?”




“To the hospital..” Drake replied..




Then, Rey started the car engine and drove away.




Nevertheless, Nicole felt extremely uncomfortable. Under the streetlight’sillumination, Drake's handsome face wasn’t as despicable anymore. Suddenly, she pulled herself up to his lap and wrapped her hands around his neck before planting a kiss on his seductive, thin lips.




Immediately, Drake's stiffened up. How dare

she kiss me forcefully?.




While he was shocked by Nicole's amateur kissing skills, he still responded to Nicole's soft body pressing against him. Suddenly, he pulled on the partition dividing the front area and the rear area of the car before he grabbed onto Nicole's head and regained the dominance of the kiss.




“Mm…” Nicole felt an electrifying sensation coursing through her body comfortably before her arms ventured around the man’s back while enjoying his electrifying kiss.




At the same time, Nicole hands moving around Drake's back caused him to tense up before his breathing became heavy, and he narrowed his eyes.




Does this woman even know what she’s doing?




Nevertheless, the woman in his arms was surprisingly submissive. She had lost her stubbornness during the day, allowing Drake to explore her lips, while he had lost his self-control and rationale as he kept kissing her instinctively.




"Mm..." Suddenly, Nicole came back to

her senses and pushed Drake away. "Drake Butler, you a"shole! Get away...".




Immediately, Drake's face darkened.




Why is she flirting with me and making me leave in one hand? How contradicting can she be?




Despite that, the fiery sensation that Nicole was feeling rushed up again when Drake let go of her.




At the same time, the car suddenly jerked, causing her to plant her face into Drake's neck. 




Right when Nicole came into contact with his skin, she latched her mouth onto it and started nibbling as if she was a leech and refused to let go.










Yet Drake Nicole to do as she liked. It was as if he was equally affected by whatever that she had ingested, and he felt like he was about to explode as well.




Looks like this woman is good at seducing men other than causing trouble for others.




“Are we reaching the hospital yet?” Drake asked Rey, who was driving.




“We are almost there,” Rey replied before the car took a turn and reached the entrance of the hospital.




Then, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door to the back of the car for his boss. 




Drake got out and straightened his shirt before pulling the woman in the car out and carrying her into the hospital.




Ten minutes later, Nicole ended up in the VIP ward of the hospital. After getting sedatives and an IV drip, she finally quietened down, and her eyes were closed while her face was flushed.




Right then, Rey gave Drake tissue paper. “Young Master Drake, there’s a bloodstain around your neck. You should wipe it off.”




Drake wiped his neck with the tissue paper before seeing a light bloodstain on it. This woman’s teeth are as sharp as a vampire!




After Rey left, Drake continued staying guard in the ward. A while later, Nicole, who was lying in bed, slowly regained her consciousness and blinked. However, she was shocked when she turned around and saw the man next to her.




“You…” Nicole's face went pale as she still remembered everything that had happened in the car just now.




“This is the consequence of not listening,” Drake remarked snarkily.




Nicole had really underestimated John’s character. She initially thought that he wouldn’t attempt anything at her after telling him that her colleague was waiting for her outside, but she didn’t expect him to disregard her words.




“Thank you. Can I know the time?” Nicole looked up and asked.




 "9.30pm.".




“I should be going home now.” She suddenly didn’t feel like staying in the hospital any longer as she glanced at the IV drip that was still half full.




“If you’re worried about your kids, I can get Rey to take care of him until you finish your IV drip.”




“That’s not necessary. I’m fine now.” Nicole insisted in a stubborn manner.




“You better think about the consequences of not finishing the IV drip. What if the drugs start working again?” Drake gritted his teeth and questioned.




After contemplating for a moment, Nicole glanced at her bag. “Can you please hand me my bag?”




After Drake handed her the bag, she took her phone out and contacted Gerald, trying to sound as natural as possible. “Dad, I might be back around 10.00PM, or later, so I’ll need you to help me get the kids to sleep tonight.”




“Sure. Don’t worry and focus on your work!” Gerald Chapman enjoyed looking after his grandchildren.




“Alright. Sure.” Nicole hung up before she looked up to see the man, whose face was illuminated under the light. She noticed that the top of his white shirt was unbuttoned, and there was a red mark on his collarbone.




Immediately, she was mind blown. That mark wouldn’t have been caused by me biting him, no? Besides, what we did in the car… Oh God, I want to disappear right now. If I recall correctly, I took the initiative to kiss him before he reciprocated it… I can still remember how his lips felt against mine… Oh my God! I need to stop thinking about it! 




Nicole held her head between her hands before she felt the drugs kicking in again.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Drake quickly asked.




“I’m fine!” Nicole huffed before she buried her head in her chest. “I lost my consciousness, and I can’t remember what happened just now, so you don’t have to remind me about it. I don’t want to recall anything that happened anymore.”




Upon hearing that, Nicole smirked. Is she trying to deny what happened just now?




“What are you going to do to compensate me after you kiss me forcefully?” He refused to let things go and chose to make Nicole recall what happened.




“1… Just decide on your own!” Nicole snapped in an embarrassed manner.




When Drake noticed that she was really embarrassed, he stopped trying to bother her any longer.




“You owe me a favor.” He harrumphed before taking a seat on the couch.




Nicole Chapman was speechless.




Although she had heard of people owing favors because of money, this was her first time owing someone else a favor because of a kiss. Fine! This is a way to settle things as well, I guess. I bet he will forget about this sooner or later.




Then, Nicole sat through her IV drip. Immediately, she got the nurse to remove the needle from her hand while Drake was scrolling his phone the entire time. After that, he stood up to accompany Nicole out.




When they reached the entrance of the

hospital, Nicole decided that she should

stop bothering Drake anymore. "I will take a

cab home.".




"Let me fetch you home." Drake refused to

let Nicole go home on her own because

it was too dangerous for someone with her

looks..




"It's fine." Nicole insisted..




Despite that, the man grabbed her arm forcefully and dragged her toward Rey’s car.
