Chapter 723
With a “pop, pop“, both bottles of wine were cracked open.
Eventually, she poured everyone in the room a glass, and one for herself too. Picking it up, she beamed at Kane, “Happy birthday, Kane.”
Kane was a bit slow to react. Cicely smiled, then downed her drink.
Afterwards, she didn’t put down her glass. Instead, she paused for a moment, then continued speaking to Kane, “Kane, do you need me to stay with you?”
As soon as she said this, the room fell silent again. In the darkness, Seth’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
Kane, shocked, also came back to his senses. He shot a glance at Seth in the dark corner, seeing that he hadn’t moved a muscle. He couldn’t guess what he was thinking.
But at this point, Cicely sidestepped the coffee table and sat down next to Kane, pouring herself another glass of wine while saying, “Kane, on your birthday, you should have someone to be with you. Would you prefer it to be me, or should I find someone else for you?”
Kane’s eyelid twitched, “Cicely…”
“Kane, there’s no Cicely here, only Diamond.”
“Diamond?” Kane was puzzled.
“My…working name.” Cicely explained.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. A chill spread from a corner, nearly freezing the surrounding air.
“You’re here…” Kane asked cautiously.
“I sell alcohol here, Kane, don’t get the wrong idea. Two bottles might not be enough, should we get some more?”
Kane was now in a bind. Cicely was an old acquaintance, but the one next to him…
Cicely grabbed Kane’s arm and continued, “Shall we open ten more bottles?”
Her soft voice sounded in his ear, the tremor in her words was clear, even a faint breath brushed against his face.
Kane’s heart raced. That voice was sincere and unpretentious, very appealing. Kane was not a simple man. Since his school days, he had had many women. He also had a few real girlfriends. When it came to women, he never thought to restrain himself.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
