The CEO Gets What He Wants

Thunderous clapping echoed throughout the hall, cheering Avery on, while Nicole walked to the restroom stiffly in

her high heels.

She ignored the young men who greeted her on her way to her destination.

Nicole remained aloof as she passed by those men, not realizing they were gossiping behind her back. They said,

“Why is she so full of herself? She's just Mr. William's adopted daughter.”

Once Nicole was in the restroom, she cupped a handful of cold water and splashed it over her face, trying to clear

her head, but her effort was futile. She couldn't control the feelings of grievance and anger rising within her.

She gazed at her reflection in the mirror. The woman who stared back at her had a menacing expression, sending

chills down her spine, for she couldn't believe what she saw was herself.

Just like that, tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a burly, vicious-looking man appeared in the mirror's reflection, shocking Nicole. She muttered, “Um...

How... how did you get in here? This is the female restroom...”

Roderick had emerged in the restroom unexpectedly.

With tears still welling in her eyes, Nicole's reddened eyes met the man's hostile eyes. Panicking, she hastily tried to

escape, but the man gripped her thin wrist tightly.

Roderick's eyes were piercing with a hint of savagery to them. He focused his gaze on Nicole as if he was trying to

swallow her whole.

Meanwhile, Nicole felt an ice-cold fear creep up on her. Her instinct warned her that Roderick was dangerous to be

around and that she would have trouble getting rid of him once she got involved with him.

“Why are you trying to escape? I miss you so much. Do you miss me? Do you remember the day that we made

love? You were sweating...” Roderick dirty-talked as he ran his hands all over Nicole's body.

Surprisingly, he found other women uninteresting since the night he had an intimate session with Nicole. He had

wanted to reunite with her since forever, but he soon went on a mission that lasted for months and couldn't return.

The moment he returned, he quickly came looking for her.

Nicole, who had gotten used to being adored and doted on by everyone, had never been molested by a lecher like

Roderick. Anger filled her, causing her to drop her graceful pretense. She cursed, “B*stard! Who do you think you

are? How dare you treat me this way? What nonsense are you going on about? Scram, you shameless prick!”

With that said, she raised her hand to slap Roderick, but he grasped her wrist.

As a trained special forces soldier, he had grown accustomed to using brute force, so he wasn't mindful of the

strength he exerted. As a result, the man accidentally fractured Nicole's wrist.

Nicole's face paled in agony as tears rolled down her face. She bit her lip and tried to suppress the pain, her tear-

stricken face making her look piteous.

Roderick laughed sheepishly. “I'm sorry, Darling. Let me fix it for you...”

The smile etched on Roderick's charming yet feral-looking face only terrified Nicole even more.

Roderick grabbed Nicole's wrist and twisted it. Following a cracking sound, her fractured wrist was realigned, but his

rough movements caused the pampered Nicole to grunt in distress. “Get lost! Scram now or I'll ask the security

guard to throw you out!”

I know our guests are all rich and influential people. One must have a certain social status to join us today, and it's

apparent that this man's identity is something else if he can get in here so effortlessly. But I really despise him!

“Babe... did you forget about that wonderful night? You kept screaming to me that you want more, and you

wrapped your long, beautiful legs around my waist, refusing to let me leave. Oh, my... Just the thought of that is

making my blood boil in passion...” Roderick restrained Nicole with one hand while reaching into her clothes with

the other hand.

Nicole struggled to break free, but her efforts were futile in the face of Roderick's vice-like grip. Fear and shame

inundated her, and she decided to use her father's name to threaten him. “Let go of me! You b*stard! My dad is the

state secretary. He would kill you if you dare to hurt me!”

However, Roderick merely snorted in response to her words. He chuckled maniacally beside her ear. “There's no

point in screaming for help, Ms. Lambert. If people come running over, I'll tell them you seduced me first. Or maybe

you can say that I harassed you. Of course, Mr. Lambert is going to be furious. But what can he do to me? The

Fuller family cannot be trifled with. If worse comes to worst, I'd marry you, that's all. Continue screaming now if you

want to become the laughingstock of Ackleton.”

With that, he took out a few photos and waved them before Nicole. “Look. These are pictures of the famous Ms.

Lambert of Ackleton. Although she may seem aloof, pure, and ascetic, she is secretly coquettish and lustful. How

unbelievable!”

The woman in the photos was naked, with even her most private body parts visible at one glance. She was pinned

under a muscular man, wearing a lust-filled and ecstatic expression.

Nicole's blood ran cold when she saw the main character in the photographs. Her face turned as white as a sheet.

The woman in the pictures was her, and the man on top of her was Roderick.

Abruptly, she pushed Roderick away, snatched the photos in his hand, and tore them into pieces before throwing

them to the floor and stomping on them in a crazed manner. “No! That's not me. It's definitely not me! You must

have photoshopped these photos to try and ruin my reputation. Who are you? Who sent you? Is it that b*tch,

Avery? How much did she pay you to do this? I'll give you double. No! I will pay you ten times the amount. How's

that?”

Nicole was so horrified that her exquisite facial features had become contorted. She began baselessly guessing and

assuming the reason these photos existed, all the while refusing to admit that she was the woman in those

photographs.

Roderick stared at the insane Nicole before sticking his leg out to stop her from leaving. Then, he covered her

mouth once again and pinned her against the restroom's basin. He threatened her evilly, “If I told the guests that

you were pretending to be kind and gentle all this while, what would they think of you? Besides, do you think this

matter is over between us just because you tore those photos into pieces? Hah... I have more explicit pictures of

you as well as videos of us on my laptop. Do you want to take a look? I can show them to you...”

“No... No!” Nicole yelled, terrified. She was so caught up in her emotions that she didn't notice that Roderick had

ripped off her clothes.

She begged urgently, “Please... Let me go... What exactly do you want from me?”

“Let me show you what I want.” Roderick loomed over Nicole.

In the beginning, Nicole shed tears due to the pain, but she soon threw her faked ladylike chasteness to the wind.

Half an hour later, Roderick had just finished relieving his desires when Nicole, who had already gotten dressed,

threw a hard slap across his cheek.

The man's expression darkened as an unprecedented murderous look appeared in his eyes.

Frightened by the maliciousness in Roderick's gaze, Nicole immediately ran out of the restroom. She sprinted all the

way back to the hall and could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw familiar faces.

However, when she noticed that William, Claire, and Avery were engrossed in a friendly conversation, frostiness

and jealousy appeared on her face again.
