His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 600

"Ever told her how you feel?" she asked, curiosity dancing in her eyes.

Casper shook his head, speaking with a hint of superiority, "Absolutely not. She's just an assistant. Why on earth would I share my feelings with her? Doing her job well is expected. If she can't, she's out. Do you think Welton International is some kind of pedestal for her?"

Eliza rolled her eyes.

Casper was in no mood to waste this perfect evening talking about someone so trivial.

He leaned in, capturing her with a kiss that felt all-consuming.

Before long, he wanted more than just the taste of her lips. His kisses traveled down her smooth neck, nibbling gently at her ear, and continued their descent.

She gripped the sheets, arching her back, surrendering to his touch.

...

The next morning, after Casper left for the office,

Eliza sat at the dining table, leisurely enjoying her breakfast.

A servant entered, announcing that Audrey had arrived.

Eliza, a bit surprised, quickly slipped on her diamond-studded slippers from the plush carpet and hurried to the door, "Mom, what brings you here?"

"I just dropped Brock off at kindergarten and realized it's been a while since you moved back. Thought I'd pop in and check on you," Audrey replied with her usual warmth and affection. She clasped Eliza's hand, her eyes softly traveling from her face down to the kiss marks on her neck, "Is Casper at the office?"

"Yes, Mom. Have you had breakfast? I can have the servant prepare something," Eliza offered.

Audrey smiled, "I've already eaten."

Eliza nodded, leading Audrey to the sofa, "What would you like to drink? I'll fix it for you."
