Chapter 19 Captivated by Her
The woman’s gaze grew darker as she softly covered her mouth, a faint smile appearing while a sultry tone escaped her lips.
“Are all men this troublesome? You know the answer but still want to hear it … ”
With a lazy demeanor, she gracefully settled onto his lap like a cat.
Kendrick’s expression turned cold, his eyes locked onto her.
Playfully tossing her hair, the woman gently bit her lip, her eyes brimming with allure.
Her hands slowly drifted from his shoulders, sliding down with subtle movements.
She flashed a teasing smile as her delicate fingers softly rested on his waist.
Noticing his face grow more unreadable and tense, her hand continued its downward path …
Kendrick’s eyebrows knitted tightly, his expression turning icy and cold as if surrounded by frost.
“Ah! Sir, you’re hurting my hand!”
The woman’s piercing scream echoed suddenly.
Without hesitation, Kendrick seized her wrist and forcefully dragged her out of his car, tossing her aside without care and making her stumble to the ground.
“Leave right now!” he commanded coldly.
After returning to the country, Kendrick seemed uninterested in his work ever since purchasing the land in the southern part of Couhgan. He spent his days and nights drowning in alcohol, handing over all company responsibilities to the board of directors.
The company officially stated that the CEO was on a break to relax.
But only he knew in his heart that calling it relaxation was far too kind–it was indulgence.
Pure, unrestrained indulgence!
Late at night, he no longer cared about driving under the alcohol and sped straight to his old villa.
Heavy rain poured over Couhgan, and without an umbrella, he was completely drenched by the time he arrived.
Stepping inside, he stormed up to the second floor and violently pushed open the master bedroom door!
But the room was dark and still.
No one was there waiting for his return.
Kendrick’s strong brows drew together, and the loneliness in the air only made his frustration grow.
An overwhelming emptiness filled him, as though something vital had been taken from him.
This feeling had been haunting him for months now.
Kendrick switched on the light and gazed at the vacant room. When she was around, the space was always alive with flowers and greenery, and numerous photos of them together adorned the walls.
He recalled that after personally sending Raelynn to prison, he had instructed the servants to clear everything away. The newly changed sheets and blankets lay perfectly smooth, untouched by any wrinkles, a sign that no one had stayed there in a long time.
The once cozy and vibrant atmosphere would never return.

No one would ever rest on this bed again.

Suddenly, he clutched his chest! It felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed by a rope, the constricting sensation making it hard for him to breathe!
He hurried out of the room and dashed to the next one.
This was her wardrobe.
As he opened the closet, he saw Raelynn’s clothes still hanging neatly, perhaps left untouched by the servants. The sight hit him like a shock, as though it branded itself into his eyes!
At that moment, the image of the woman wearing the dress he had bought for her flashed before him, her face glowing with a joyful and sweet smile.
He recalled every single expression of hers–the moments of happiness, the discomfort, the tears, the despair, the heartbreak
He remembered them all in vivid detail.
The pain in his chest grew unbearable, and Kendrick pressed his forehead with his hand, overwhelmed by a sense of restlessness and a collapse he couldn’t describe, driving him to the edge of madness!
Even though he didn’t want to face it, he had to admit that he couldn’t shake the thoughts of that woman.
Why was this happening?
She was simply the daughter of his mother’s killer, and he had only planned to use her, everything had started with a clear goal in mind!
But when did it all change? When did he become captivated by her, lost in her, spending sleepless nights drinking for her?
In countless dreams that came in the dead of night, he always imagined Raelynn lying beside him.
Yet every time he snapped out of his drunken haze, he realized it had only been a dream.
