The CEO’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape

To Love You Again, My Husband

Chapter 27: Beg Me

Airina fixed her eyes on Nicole’s arrogant attitude and then folded her arms. Jackson was a surprise, while she was unneeded and uncalled for. These two truly are perfect for each other – on every good occasion, they ruin it all trying to put the blame on others because of their irresponsibility.

Nicole, however, only wanted to be one of the people gathered here since she is also one of Beverly’s members. Did she go against any rule if what she wanted was only that one simple request? Airina invited her father, but she didn’t even bother doing so to her younger sister and her stepmother. Does she really plan to humiliate them that much after all those things she had made them go through?

Nicole clasped both of her hands, stomping her feet from the entrance, and facing Airina proudly. Why would she be embarrassed when the one who did wrong was Airina? Honestly, Airina was the mistake here, her sole existence – she was the bane of all the misfortunes!© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Everyone, even the cater members pursed their mouths in awkward stillness. The Halton family blinked their eyes in shame – they felt ashamed instead of Nicole as if they were the ones who meddled in something they summoned for. Evan gulped his saliva; his anger was rapidly increasing due to two people who came to destroy this family gathering.

Elisa frowned while Matthew felt this was unsettling. She whispered to Matthew, “What of Nicole? Isn’t she a rising model?”

Matthew placed his hands into his pockets, “She is, her fans love her innocent and kind nature…” He mockingly smirked, “At least that’s what she was seen like.”

Elisa shook her head pathetically. “What a shame someone others regarded highly is retarded. What is her relationship with Rina?”

Matthew smiled, “Wondering the same.”

Elisa sighed. Matthew wasn’t versed in Airina’s relationship with Halton and Nicole, but it felt like something big was definitely amiss.

Nicole didn’t mind the glares and stunned expressions. Rather, she casually smiled, adding to her previous mocking words.

“I only heard from that ‘old man’ that you invited him, but you didn’t ask for our appearances. We’re as well as horses so why would you hide this worthy celebration?” She then shifted her eyes from Airina, walking past her and she even nudged her shoulder deliberately. The next second she was facing Evan, who was blatantly destroying her every detail with his eyes.

Nicole didn’t seem stunned at his actions. She lifted her goblet which she grabbed from one of the tables, “I congratulate you, Evan”, She then snickered, “It would have been better if you didn’t graduate…”

Evan is a reckless person and what he hated the most was if someone dared to interrupt this gathering and humiliate him, and everyone present today. Hastily, he grabbed the goblet she was holding on to and then aggressively threw it on the ground.

“Get out.” He spoke, without acknowledging her heartful words.

Airina walked over to their side, calmly motioning those cater members to abruptly clean the mess created by the supposed spotlight tonight. Only if it hadn’t been tumble-down by heartless beings. She grasped Nicole’s wrist, pulling her into one of the rooms. But Nicole didn’t want to be simply led by Airina. She struggled under her force and when she finally had a chance, she again took one of the goblets and then shook it.

As a result, Airina’s formal cream dress was stained with the wine. Surprised, Airina held her breath as she lowered her head to check if what she had just experienced was real. She scoffed upon seeing her dress tainted. Jackson widened his eyes at Nicole’s childish movements. He hurriedly took off his coat, draping it over Airina’s shoulder.

He told the guards who timely headed inside while panting.

“Get her out of the venue. Make sure she doesn’t come back.”

Airina gritted her teeth, “Let her stay and enjoy,” she smirked, “It would be a waste if she hadn’t witnessed this event until the end.”

Nicole suddenly forgot Evan’s graduation. Right now, she was just mad that Jackson turned his attention to Airina. She was right across from Airina, but his mind was filled with someone else. She attempted to touch his arm, but he dodged it with a frown.

“Stay quietly.”

Airina knew her weakness – Jackson. She didn’t want to lose this chance and act pretentious, but she held Jackson’s long sleeve with a coy expression on her face. Before everyone knew it, Jackson and Airina headed inside one of the rooms for them.

Evan turned his head away from Nicole’s appearance hissing and upset. Matthew, who noticed the impact, chased Evan.

Airina sighed in relief, pulling away from Jackson’s grasp who hurriedly grabbed her back. Wordlessly, he helped her untangle the ribbon and then circled around to unzip her dress. Trying to be unaffected, he then urged her to change dress. Though bewildered at his actions, she calmly went to other dresses with her present dress still unzipped. Jackson looked away with a frown.

Upon changing into a white dress, she sighed and looked at Jackson.

“Come and button them”, she simply pointed at her back. He tilted his head and she added, “Don’t look at me as if I have hands behind my back.”

He bit his lower lip, settling behind her. Slowly, he grasped her hair, put it away from her back, and gulped his saliva.

“You know this is dangerous, right?” His voice contained restraint and emphasis.

She chuckled, “What do you mean? Other dresses aren’t my type.”

Staring at her back, something tickled within him to touch her back and he did. He stretched his hand, placing it over her back and she instantly flinched. She even gasped.

“W-What are you doing?”

“… You’re deliberately provoking me.”

She tried to face him, but he wrapped his hands around her waist and leaned. She closed her eyes at the sudden contact between her lower back and his lips. It was faint yet surprising. She covered her mouth and then glanced at him.

He whispered right into her ears. Right now, her back was tightly in contact with his body – causing her to falter and regret her decision.

“Tell me you want me, Airina.”

“L-let go of me.”

“But you’re hot, I couldn’t possibly let you go unsatisfied.”

Airina was shocked to hear his words, but what was more shocking was when he turned her around to face him. He didn’t even think twice and leaned forward – his lips brushed against her cheek and nose.

“Let go…” She weakly said, greatly affected by his provocations.

She breathed out, couldn’t look away at the hot gaze he gave her. Suddenly, she stopped struggling and stared into his eyes. She was trying to understand what he seemed to be relaying using his gaze which progressively got closer.

He voiced out as his hot breath dampened her neck down to her collarbones.

“Tell me you want me, too”, He grunted, trying hard to control, “Airina, want me.”

His hushed yet sexy voice resonated in her ears, and it played on a loop as if it were a song. Her cheeks blushed, couldn’t deny that both of them, right at this moment, wanted each other. Her hands fiddled with each other while his head remained snuggled on her neck. It was intimate.

Thoughtlessly, she touched his chin; her eyes were occupied with only his face, and he could clearly see his reflection from it. He could hardly gulp his saliva as she allowed herself to indulge in what she wanted to do. Her hand traveled up to his lips, causing his Adam’s Apple to roll up and down and his hands tightened on her waist.

In their moment of hotness, he had already placed his hand on her bare back while she touched his lips, wiping it slowly; stimulating his desire.

He couldn’t take it anymore and he held her hands, intertwining it with his.

He seriously told her, “Order me to kiss you, Airina.”

She gave his lips one last glance before responding, “Jackson…”

Their foreheads bumped into each other, and they gazed fixated to one another.

“Yes?”

She smiled at him, “Beg me.”

“What…?”

She raised her hand to his cheek, repeating her words. “Beg me to want you.”
