The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 1

Cordelia woke up in the middle of the night, feeling utterly knackered.

Long story short, no one would believe it, but she had slept with Ronan last night. It was her first time, and it didn't feel particularly special, just painful.

What left a deep impression on her was when Ronan's beard brushed against her cheek, his breath on her neck, his kisses on her ear, and his deep voice accompanying their physical contact, making Cordelia's body unbearably hot. Throughout the process, Ronan kept murmuring a name into Cordelia's ear. Despite not being able to make out the name, it did nothing to lessen Cordelia's excitement and nervousness.

In the middle of the night, Cordelia woke up. Ronan was still asleep. She glanced at the man's serious face and somehow felt closer to him. She craved the warmth of his embrace and even fantasized about continuing to lie next to him, holding him as she slept. But she knew that if she didn't leave now, it would mean trouble.

Ronan was the CEO of Lumos Enterprises, who had slept with an intern, Cordelia. She knew the consequences would be dire. At best, she would lose her job and be kicked out; at worst, she would be labeled as "the intern who seduced the boss." Her reputation would be shattered, and she would have no place in Millstone.

Yesterday was the first day of team building, and Ronan got drunk in the evening. He grabbed Cordelia's hand, who was helping him to his room, and kissed her without warning. Cordelia initially wanted to resist, but when she saw Ronan's face, she was somehow in a daze and couldn't resist. Before this, Cordelia hadn't even had any direct contact with Ronan.

Cordelia stumbled back to her room, pretending that nothing had happened, until six in the evening, when several buses arrived and were parked in front of the hotel to take them back to the company.

Cordelia got on the bus with another intern, Brooklyn. As soon as they got on the bus, they saw someone sitting in the first row, resting with his eyes closed, giving Cordelia quite a start. If it was not Ronan, who else could it be?
