A Vengeful Ex-Wife

James was about to refuse again when he felt that Maria unbuttoned his shirt with one hand. She then bit his chest gently and said flirtatiously, "James, as long as you carry me into the hotel, I will let you bite me anywhere you like."

He gritted his teeth. Knowing that Maria wouldn't stop teasing him until he gave in, he had no other choice. He carried her in his arms and entered the hotel with a livid face.

Maria smiled victoriously. She knew that men could not resist a woman's seductive charm.

And James was not an exception. Her tactics worked on him.

She got a little teary-eyed. James didn't know that she almost burst into tears while her face was buried in his arms.

The fact that he didn't refuse to help her just like the last time, she was deeply touched. She wondered if it meant that she had succeeded a little.

As soon as they entered James' room, he tossed her onto the sofa ruthlessly. He then said coldly, "Leave now."

Maria got up, tiptoed in front of him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I can't leave now. I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. Let's have dinner together, okay?"

"Maria Song -"

Before James could say what he wanted to say, she interrupted him impatiently, "Hush! I know what you want to say. James, I am living a good life, so I don't have a death wish yet. But right now, I'm in a little trouble, and I need your help. Promise, I'll repay you double in the future if you save my life today. What do you think?"

"Repay me? With what? With your life?" James didn't think that she had anything valuable or he could make use of.

As a matter of fact, it was she who had used him again and again.

Maria thought for a while. Then she smiled brightly and winked at him as if she had come up with a brilliant idea. "How about this? I can be your sex partner. You can sleep with me anytime you want until the day of your engagement to Alina. What do you think?"

"Lame!" James pushed her away, turned around, and walked to the desk at the corner of his suite. He didn't want to continue such a nonsense conversation with her anymore.

Maria knew that his silence meant that he acquiesced in her offer. It wasn't easy for him to admit it, was it?

She just shrugged, happily ran to his bedroom, and threw herself on the big bed. She felt so exhausted that she wanted to take a nap.

Watching her, James kneaded his aching forehead and thought, 'Jesus! After forcing me to carry her into my room, now she is occupying my bed.

Maria Song! Why haven't I seen your boldness before?'

There was total silence in the bedroom, so James thought that Maria had already fallen asleep. But what he didn't know was that she was sending a message to someone on her phone. After sending the message, she put her phone under the pillow and closed her eyes with a smile. Today was her happiest day since she had returned to H City.

She was happier than that night when she cooked dinner for James in Fairview Villa.

A few moments later, the waiter brought a sumptuous meal to James' room. On a whim, Maria took two photos and posted them on her WeChat Moments. James went out for some social engagements, so she enjoyed the dinner alone.

There was no one suspicious on her contact list, and she didn't even add Colby on WeChat, so she didn't mind posting the photos of the delicious food she had. She felt like she had nothing to hide. Since the presentation of the food in a five-star hotel was quite impressive, as expected, many of her friends bombarded her with comments, asking where she was. However, she didn't reply to any of them. She just sent a private message to a few.

Alina, who had been browsing on her WeChat Moments, saw Maria's post. She got so curious that she kept on refreshing the page for the new comments of their mutual friends to load, hoping that she could get some information about Maria's whereabouts.

Her heart was beating abnormally fast. What if James had taken Maria with him to P City?

After a long time of waiting, Alina was so disappointed that Maria didn't respond to any of her friends' comments on her post.

Maria was the type of person who would burn the bridge after crossing it. So she sent the photos of her dinner to James with a message. "Actually, I don't really have a secret to tell you. I just want to be with you. If you dare to drive me away, I will send these photos to Alina and tell her that we are together right now."

James had already deduced that Maria was lying to him earlier. He knew that she only made an excuse for him to carry her in.

But he didn't expect that she would threaten him. Looking at the photos, he could imagine the complacent look on her face when she was sending him this message.

An angry smile surfaced on James' face. What Maria did only confirmed that she was such an ungrateful woman.

He disliked her complacency so much, so he quickly replied, "Before threatening me, why don't you think of your own situation first? I can easily hand you over to them. If I tie you up at the hotel entrance, I believe that someone will pick you up soon."

Maria subconsciously bit her lower lip hard when she read James' reply. She knew him better than anyone else. He was a man of his word. If he would really tie her up at the hotel entrance, she would definitely be taken away by the other party shortly. If that happened, she had to suffer the pain of being skinned alive.

Maria couldn't help but shiver at the thought of it. She couldn't imagine her smooth skin being peeled, so she decisively yielded. "James, I've taken a bath. I'll wait for you to come back. I assure you, I can provide whatever service you want. Muah!"

While staring at the screen of his phone, James didn't notice that he was smiling, and his eyes glimmered. The assistant sitting next to him was stunned.

He wondered if James was texting Alina. The assistant couldn't help rubbing his eyes in disbelief. It was so rare for James to smile. How he wished he had capture James' smile with the camera of his phone. When the night deepened, James decided to go back to the hotel. In his heart, there was a faint glimmer of hope that Maria was really waiting for him in his suite.

He was welcomed by her unique scent when he entered his suite, but there was no sign of her inside. He took off his coat, hung it in the closet, and looked around. James couldn't find Maria in his room. Rubbing his chin, he wondered if she had run away.

He had no plan of looking for her. In fact, he was even relieved that she was gone. As if her disappearance didn't matter to him, he sat down at the desk and began to work.

After a while, James felt the weight of his eyelids, so he decided to take a shower. He was about to go to the bedroom to take a rest when there was a beep on the door lock.

He turned around and saw Maria in black rushing in and hiding behind the door. She peeked through a small opening and looked around vigilantly before she locked the door. Then she ran into the bedroom while taking off her outfit.

Ignoring James' cold gaze, Maria threw the black sportswear she had taken off into the closet.

She then pounced onto him and pressed him on the big bed. "Help me!"

James was caught off guard. He was squeezed between the bed and her soft body. With a darkened expression, he wrapped his arms around her waist and asked, "Maria Song, what the heck are you doing?" "I have no time to explain now. Just hurry up, take off your clothes!" It was only then that Maria noticed that James was not wearing anything. He had just taken a shower, so he only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist. Luck was on her side. She reached out and pulled the bath towel away with all her strength.

Stunned, James lay on the bed. The next moment, he was already wrapped in the quilt. When Maria heard some noise outside the door, she felt terrible.

With an unfriendly look, James stared at her. Maria knew that he was so mad at her that he wanted to kill her. But she had no time left, so she sat on top of him and moaned. "Ahhh..."

If the man after her put his ear on the door, he would definitely hear her groan.

James couldn't stand it anymore. He held Maria's wrist, pushed her away, and got up from the bed.

But Maria couldn't just let him go. She jumped on his back, held his neck, and whispered in his ear, "James, turn around." James grabbed her wrists again and was about to say something when the doorbell rang.

Maria was like a cat on hot bricks. She had done everything, but she still couldn't turn him on. So she couldn't help questioning him anxiously, "Didn't we have sex that night in Fairview Villa? What's happening to you now? Are you injured or something? What do you want me to do to arouse you?"

James was dumbstruck by her series of questions. For a moment, he had the urge to strangle her. How dare she ask such suggestive questions! But he was not in the mood to have a fight with her right now, so he had to restrain himself from throttling her and asked, "Who did you mess up with this time? Who's outside?"

Maria moaned again before she answered, "Must be Colby's assistant."

James looked at her, clenching his teeth.

'Maria Song, you are really something!' he thought inwardly.

The doorbell didn't stop ringing, so he angrily took out his bathrobe from the closet and put it on before he walked to open the door.
