This foolish woman!They"ve only been apart for a few days, but she"s already gotten herself into trouble like this.
She used a lot of tricks against him. How could she get herself in danger in the blink of an eye?
What would have happened if he hadn"t made a dinner appointment with Gavin and encountered her in the bathroom? Will she just lie unconsciously in the middle of the hallway? Will she be picked up by the man who drugged her or by a stranger pa.s.sing by?
Aaron can"t help gritting his teeth when he thinks of the possibilities of these consequences.
Finally, Aaron bends down and holds Katrina in his arms. Then, he makes his way to a presidential suite in the hotel and brings her into the room. He places her on the big soft bed.
The horrifying swelling on Katrina"s face startles Aaron. Additionally, her skirt is torn, and she looks unevenly dressed. At the moment, she is completely unconscious.
It"s easy to figure out what happened to her.
Despite his anger, Aaron opens the refrigerator and finds some ice cubes. He wraps it in a towel and puts it on Katrina"s bruised face to give her a cold compress.
With Katrina in a horrible state, Aaron is not in the mood to go to the lounge to have dinner with Gavin. He calls Gavin to tell him that he has something unexpected to attend to and asks him for forgiveness. He will find a chance to make amends to him in person.
Gavin is always a man who defies trivial things. He has a personal friends.h.i.+p with Aaron, and he knows his character. Aaron wouldn"t have failed to keep an appointment unless there was an emergency. When Aaron calls to apologize for canceling their appointment, he readily agrees.
After a while of a cold compress, the swelling on Katrina"s face finally fades a bit. Aaron gently applies for medicine on Katrina"s bruise.
It is not until Aaron finishes dealing with Katrina"s wound that he steps out of the bedroom. Standing at the French Windows in the living room, he looks down at the cityscape outside with a grim expression on his face.
He takes out his phone to call his a.s.sistant. "Investigate what happened to Katrina tonight! Who the h.e.l.l dared to hurt my woman?"
The person who hurt Katrina is d.a.m.ned. To make matters worse, he used such despicable means to drug her and use violence against her.
On the other line, the a.s.sistant can clearly feel the anger in Aaron"s deep voice. He quickly answers, "Yes, Mr. Wilson! I"ll investigate right away."
All of Aaron"s men know that he came to Abbe City to develop his business because of a woman. But they never expected that Aaron would encounter the woman the day after he arrives in Abbe City. To their shock, someone offended her.
Aaron is a person who always protects his people.
No matter how much he punishes Katrina when she defies him, it"s his business, and no one else can harm her.
The a.s.sistant gets a vague feeling that the man who dares to offend Aaron"s woman is doomed.
Aaron is a newcomer, and he shouldn"t be so arrogant. But according to Aaron"s character, it"s absolutely impossible for him to control himself and suppress his anger.
After hanging up the phone, Aaron takes a bath in the bathroom before going back to the bedroom.
On the big soft bed, Katrina"s eyes are closed tightly, and she has a frown on her face. She must be dreaming of what just happened. She looks very uneasy.
Seeing her so distressed worries Aaron. He gently strokes her face with slender fingers. The smooth and delicate touch is as wonderful as he remembered.
Aaron pulls off the blanket and gets into bed, gently wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her in his embrace.
The familiar light fragrance pours into his nostrils.
Katrina thinks that she can escape from him, but now…
She has returned to him.
Aaron"s mood has always been gloomy these days, but it slightly improves as he holds her in his arms. No matter how much he hates her or how angry he is with her…
Holding her vanishes most of his anger.
He wants to keep holding her peacefully in his arms forever.
Perhaps because Aaron"s embrace is strong and comforting, it gives Katrina some sense of security. She gradually stops frowning, and the furrowed expression on her face smoothens.
Like their time in Aaron"s private villa in Hadley before, Aaron wraps Katrina securely in his arms and falls asleep holding her.
In Katrina"s presence, Aaron"s insomnia that was persistent during the time he spent apart from her suddenly vanishes. He finally gets a comfortable and satisfying sleep.
The next morning, Katrina is still sleeping in Aaron"s arms when he gets up early.
In her sleep, she entwined her slender white legs with his. Her skirt is pushed up, and her white underwear is visible. The picture looks sweet and beautiful.
Aaron"s eyes become deep as he stares at her tender white legs. He feels his throat become dry.
He hasn"t been with her for a long time. He has a deep longing for her. Now, he just wants to press her underneath him and make love to her. He wants to collect the debt she owes him during the days she"s been away.
Just then, his phone on the bedside table rings.

"h.e.l.lo." Aaron deliberately lowers his voice as he picks up the phone, getting out of bed, and walking to the living room.
On the other line, his a.s.sistant replies, "Mr. Wilson, the investigation on Miss Miller"s incident is over."
Aaron"s eyes darken, and he says in a cool voice, "Come to the office to report in fifteen minutes."
"Yes, sir."
After hanging up, Aaron glances in the direction of the bedroom. Finally, he takes a shower, changes his clothes, and leaves.
Who the h.e.l.l dared to hurt her?
The answer will soon be revealed.
At the president"s office, Aaron"s tall figure is tucked into the sofa. His right leg is folded over his left in a casual yet elegant pose.
The a.s.sistant knocks on the door, and after he enters, he respectfully informs Aaron of what happened.
"Mr. Wilson, according to my investigation... Last night, Miss Miller"s brother Samuel, on his own initiative, gave Miss Miller to Melvin Quentin in exchange for a real estate project.
"Miss Miller"s sister, Sophie, has always been dissatisfied with Miss Miller because of personal issues. She acted as Samuel"s accomplice and planned the incident together along with Melvin. She tricked Miss Miller into coming by using her birthday as an excuse.
"They met up with her and drugged her water. After Miss Miller lost the ability to resist, they brought her to Melvin"s room."
Upon hearing the a.s.sistant"s report, Aaron"s handsome face becomes expressionless, and his thin lips purse tightly in rage.
Aaron did some research about Katrina"s background while she was in Hadley City.
He knows that a man named Carl Anderson adopted Katrina. She has a brother and an older sister. Except for Carl, the other members of the Anderson family are all unkind to her.
But Aaron doesn"t expect that Samuel would sell Katrina for his profit. Nor did he expect Sophie to join forces with him to trick Katrina and become his accomplice.
