Chapter 204
Wendy was about to reply to Samuel when her plione suddenly vibrated with the sound of an incoming call.
Looking at the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.
It was Stanley calling her.
Stanley? Why was he calling her? Wasn’t he with Jessica?
Confusion swept over her, but she didn’t answer the call.
The phone continued to vibrate for a while, with several more calls coming in one after the other before it finally stopped.
Wendy lay back on the bed, the hour growing late. She closed her eyes, but sleep eluded her.
As she tossed and turned, a sudden knock at the door interrupted her thoughts.
Someone was knocking.
Who could it be?
The knock came again, sharp and deliberate, the rhythm of the rapping on the door strong and measured.
Wendy got out of bed and opened the door. Standing in the hallway was the tall, handsome figure of Stanley. The hospital hallway was quiet at this late hour, the dim lighting casting shadows on his broad frame. He stood there, still as stone, his piercing black eyes fixed on her.
The sight of him, appearing so suddenly in the dark, made Wendy’s heart race.
What was he doing here?
Stanley lowered his gaze to her. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
His voice was low and husky, with a slight rasp that gave it a magnetic, almost seductive quality–a tone that could make your ears tingle.
Wendy stood in the doorway. “I didn’t hear them.”
Stanley didn’t believe her. His lips curled into a small, knowing smile. “You’ve been with Nathan all day. You couldn’t spare a moment to answer me?”
Wendy’s pale fingers curled into a fist. “Mr. Hawk, it’s late. Please go back. We can talk tomorrow.”
She reached to close the door, but before she could, Stanley suddenly bent his knee and pressed it against the door, preventing her from shutting it.
Wendy had no choice but to look up at him, her clear eyes meeting his. “Mr. Hawk, what do you want?”
“Do you really want to stay inside and talk to me like this? Should I come in, or will
The man had always been domineering, accustomed to getting his way.
Wendy didn’t want to wake Nathan, so she stepped outside.
Stanley grabbed her hand, pulling her with him.
you come out?”
Her small, delicate hand was engulfed in his larger, warmer one. Wendy could feel the heat radiating off him, an unusual warmth that made her uneasy. The effects of the aphrodisiac incense still hadn’t worn off.

She didn’t know what had happened between him and Jessica, and frankly, she didn’t want to know.
She tried to pull her hand free. “Mr. Hawk, let go of me!”
Stanley didn’t let go. Instead, he led her down an empty hallway and pushed her gently against the wall.
Wendy found herself trapped between the wall and his solid chest. She raised her hand, trying to push him away Mr. Hawk, what are you—mmph!”
Before she could finish, his face loomed closer, his lips capturing hers in a fierce kiss.
Wendy’s mind went blank. She couldn’t think.
His kiss was intense, and his large hands pressed against the wall, pinning her in place.
Wendy snapped back to her senses and struggled violently. “Let go of me!”
She turned her head to avoid his lips, but Stanley, breath heavy, watched her intently. “You asked what I want, and the answer is this. Is that okay?”
