Horace watched Brittany’s retreating figure, noticing the way she swayed her hips with a teasing grace that was impossible to ignore. The sight was maddening enough to make him laugh bitterly.
Ida raised her hand as if to wipe the corner of Horace’s mouth. “Are you alright?”
But before her hand could reach him, Horace stepped back sharply “I’m going home first.”
With that, he turned and left.
Ida’s hand froze midair. Alene now, she dropped all pretenses. Herexpression twisted into one of bitter resentment and cold malice.
She hated Brittany.
Ida was the daughter of the Larson family’s driver. Years ago, her father had died saving Horace’s father, and her mother died soon after.
Because Horace felt indebted to Ida, he had always looked after her and they had practically grown up together.
Ida had loved Horace deeply, believing she would one day marry him and become Mrs. Larson.
But then the Larson and Brewer families suddenly arranged an alliance through marriage, and Horace married Brittany instead.
Ida had tried to convince herself that Brittany was just a pawn in a grand alliance, doomed to a lonely life, but nothing could have been further from the truth.
Brittany was a temptress. From the moment she married Horace, she clung to him like a snake.
Two years into their marriage, Ida had once stood outside Horace’s study. The door wasn’t fully closed, and she had peeked inside.
Horace sat behind his desk, surrounded by stacks of paperwork, but Brittany was perched on his lap, her camisole slipping off one shoulder, revealing her smooth skin.
Horace’s voice was husky. “I still have a lot of work tonight.”
“Don’t work tonight, honey. I want you…” Brittany cooed, wrapping herself around him.
Horace held her close. “Okay. Let’s go to the bedroom.”
But Brittany shook her head stubbornly. “I want to do it right here in your study. Don’t you like it?”
Horace tilted his head, kissing her deeply, letting her hands roam inside his expensive shirt, teasing and bold.
Brittany, breathing heavily, said, “I heard there’s a really beautiful new secretary at your company.”
“Who?”
“You know who I’m talking about. That secretary who looks at you with stars in her eyes.”
Horace chuckled. “I honestly don’t know who you mean.”
“Really? If you don’t know her, then I’ll tell your assistant to transfer her.”
“Do as you wish.”
Brittany softened, pouring in a playful tone. “You must think I’m being a little jealous. But with you being handsome and rich, I have to keep an eye on you, or else you’ll be handing out favors to other women.”
Horace’s hand slipped beneath her skirt, his eyes darkening. “You can’t seem to keep your hands off of me; you wring me dry every day. I have nothing to offer others.”

Brittany kissed him gently. “Let’s have a baby.”
“Why the sudden urge?” Horace asked, surprised.
“Don’t you want to have a baby with me?”
“I do.”

Ida had been standing just outside the door, jealousy burning in her eyes as she watched. Brittany, perched on Horace’s lap, still wearing high heels, looked utterly seductive and reckless as her thin heels brushed lightly against his black trousers.
Who could resist a sight like that?
Horace was young and passionate then.
Brittany was beautiful, clever, and capable, as she had been raised to shine as the daughter of the wealthy Brewer family. Facing a man, she knew exactly how to take the lead. By choosing to marry Horace, she had made it clear she wanted everything from him.
In those early years of marriage, Horace was utterly captivated.
Soon after, Brittany became pregnant.
Ida had hoped that she might have a chance, but Brittany only held on tighter. Once again, Ida had stood outside the door, peeking in.
Horace sat on the couch while Brittany knelt before him, tending to him with unwavering devotion.
No man could ever say no to a woman like that.
