The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 

After what felt like forever, he finally let her go, his long fingers lingering over her heart. “Remember, you’re mine. If you forget, I’ll be here to remind you.” 

She was embarrassed, uncomfortable, and angry, gathering her scattered clothes from the floor and hurriedly dressing. 

“You… you’re a beast!” she spat. 

“I’m only a beast for you,” he replied, a wicked smile playing on his lips. 

Just then, his secretary’s voice echoed from outside the room, “Mr. Leopold, your wife is here.” 

“I’m busy. Have her wait,” Leopold replied, donning his clothes and instantly regaining his refined and handsome appearance. 

Aurelia rushed to the mirror, adjusting her clothing in fear that their indiscretion might be discovered. It felt like they were sneaking around, stealing forbidden moments. Yes, that’s exactly what they were doing. She was his ex–wife, and he was now married to another 

woman. 

He was so powerful that she couldn’t escape whenever he wanted her. 

“Mr. Leopold seems to enjoy this game, just like any other man.” 

“What game?” he asked, resuming his seat behind the desk, a single eyebrow raised in curiosity. 

She smirked, “The thrill of the chase. The wife is never as exciting as the mistress, and the mistress is never as exciting as the one you can’t have.” 

He chuckled darkly, “If I’m to cheat, it’ll only be you.” 

Aurelia’s eyes widened in surprise and anger. She would not let him demote her from wife to mistress. Over her dead body! 

“I hope this is the last time. Don’t touch me again.” With that, she opened the door and left. Leopold’s lips curled into a wicked smile. She was like an addictive poppy, and he was hooked. 

As she walked down the hallway, she tried to maintain a normal stride, despite the pain in her legs and hips. 

From far away, she could see Megan waiting impatiently on a couch. Seeing her, Megan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and she rose, walking toward Aurelia with her head held high.

“I am Leopold’s wife now, the lady of Astral Enterprises. I hope you have the basic decency to stop trying to seduce my husband.” 

Aurelia snorted, “You’re the homewrecker who stole my husband, and you’re lecturing me about decency? Isn’t that funny?” 

Megan’s forehead vein twitched in anger. She hated the term ‘homewrecker.‘ 

“I’ll say it again, I’m not a homewrecker. Leopold has always loved me. You’re the one who’s an unwelcome third wheel.” 

Aurelia looked at her coldly, as if looking at a foolish clown. “If he loved you, he wouldn’t have let another woman bear his child right after marrying you. Leopold likes simple and kind women. Someone cunning and full of schemes will only disgust him. Remember that.”
