The next second, drenched in cloying perfume, Renee hurled herself into his arms.

“James, I missed you so much. Please don’t be angry with me anymore, alright? I really like you.

more than anyone. I’m willing to give you everything I have. Take me, won’t you?”

“Ahhh!”

Jetson let out a blood–curdling scream. Startled by the nearly naked Renee clinging to him, he dropped the gift boxes he’d been holding, smashing them onto both their feet.

Heaven and earth–why punish a pure, innocent bachelor like him with such a searing sight?

A naked woman had just thrown herself at him.

He wasn’t clean anymore!

Because James had promised over the phone that he would come, Renee hadn’t considered the possibility of anyone else walking through the door. At the knock, she hadn’t bothered to look -she’d simply struck her most seductive pose and leapt into his arms.

Only when she heard Jetson’s scream did she realize she had embraced the wrong man.

“Help!”

Jetson felt as if worms had crawled all over him. He flung Renee away violently and slapped at his body like he could scrub her touch off.

He bolted for the stairs, shrieking, “James, save me! Renee tried to molest me–she threw herself at me! I’ve been sullied! I’m calling the police! Help!”

Hearing him, Renee’s face turned dark with fury.

She wanted James, not Jetson. She had no desire to take advantage of him. If anyone should be screaming, it was her–for being seen like this.

She cursed Jetson bitterly. If he hadn’t barged in self–righteously, she’d already have James beneath her spell.

Still, she quickly pulled out her phone and posted a “friends–only” update visible only to Lily.

She included two pictures.

One showed James’s car pulling into her villa. The other showed herself in gauzy white, sprawled across the bed in a sultry pose.

Renee knew Lily trusted James–at least a little. But after she herself had tried to drug Lily, and James still came driving to her villa…

Lily would surely wonder: if James felt nothing for Rence, why would he show up at all?

If Lily fought with him over it, worked herself into a frenzy, maybe even miscarried–well, that would serve her right.

And if she didn’t miscarry, constant fighting would still sour James, make him feel unlucky and resentful.

Then Renee could swoop in like the gentle flower, soothe him, console him. She refused to believe a man of steel couldn’t be bent into soft wire in her hands.

“James, save me! I’m really not clean anymore!”

Jetson tore into the living room, still screaming. The shock of Renee’s sudden embrace had branded a scar on his psyche.

Spotting James, he clung to his arm like a drowning man to driftwood, refusing to let go.

“It was horrible! Renee actually–ugh-”

“I’m dirty now. My eyes are dirty, my body is dirty. My future wife will despise me!”

“What if I never find a wife? What do I do?”

But Jetson was not Lily. He was neither soft nor fragrant. James yanked his arm away with cold disgust. “Stay away from me.”

Jetson was usually a proud man, a tough man. But this–being soiled by a woman he didn’t want–was a humiliation beyond anything he’d known. In his vulnerability, only James’s strength gave him a shred of safety.

Upstairs, Susan had been watching closely.

When James never went up, she knew the plan had failed.

If he had gone into Renee’s room, she could have claimed him as her son–in–law.

But the man who had walked in was Jetson instead–and James, too clever not to see through her scheme, would know she’d tried to trick him.

She couldn’t risk his lasting resentment. Drawing a deep breath, she stepped out of the adjacent room and came downstairs.

“James…”

“Stay away from me!”

Hearing a woman’s voice, Jetson thought it was Rence again.

Before James could reply, Jetson exploded, his face twisted in outrage. “Renee, I treated you as a friend, but you molested me! You just want to ruin me, make my future wife despise me! How could you be so vicious? You’ve disgraced me! I, Jetson, will never keep company with someone so vile and scheming!”

Susan’s smile froze stiff.

The Corden family wielded great power abroad. Jetson–whether in background, appearance, or ability–was an exceptional man.
