The CEO Gets What He Wants

Carrying Avery in his arms, Cayden walked to the parking lot.

Avery leaned against his chest as if she did not have a care in the world.

Cayden's trench coat covered Avery's body, leaving only her head exposed. She peeped through the gap to glance

at the stoic man. The hostile look on Cayden's face sent a chill down Avery's spine, causing her teeth to chatter.

The woman still could not stop blushing. She continuously wiggled uncomfortably underneath his coat.

“Cayden...” Avery sounded as if she was on the verge of tears.

The tough front she had put up earlier had vanished into thin air.

Avery had no idea why she cried when she saw him, but somehow, she failed to suppress her emotions.

A burning heat started coursing through her veins, and the uncomfortable feeling caused her to lose control of her

body. The warmth in her was a stark contrast against the freezing weather.

She felt uneasy upon noticing the grim expression on Cayden's face. In fact, she felt aggrieved.

As the chilly weather became more intense, the man tightened his hug and continued walking without glancing at

her.

The frail Avery curled up in Cayden's chest as the latter carried her to the car.

After starting the engine, Xavier tilted his head and asked, “Mr. Moore, should we bring Ms. Rumpley to the hospital

or send her home?”

“I want to go home.” Avery felt sorry for herself when she realized Cayden did not pay much attention to her.

Cayden clenched his jaw for a bit before answering Xavier, “Let's go to Duke Hotel.”

Duke Hotel was a five-star hotel under Trident Group.

It was already two in the morning. Knowing that it was an urgent matter, Xavier sped on the road and arrived at the

hotel's entrance in no time.

At this point, the drug caused Avery to become delirious and feel horrible. She continuously struggled and rubbed

her body against the man to seduce him.

Her disheveled appearance did not diminish her beauty for a bit, but the burning heat her body gave out kept

reminding Cayden she was probably drugged.

A hard glint flashed across Cayden's clear eyes upon recalling Dylan's bestial act. She knew what kind of person

Dylan was, yet, she still went to meet him. Does she have no sense of danger? That man would have taken

advantage of her had I not arrived in time!

Cayden wished he could cut Dylan into pieces whenever he thought of how the latter nearly violated the love of his

life.

The moment he stepped into the hotel while carrying Avery in his arms, the front desk manager walked over.

The manager was dumbfounded when he saw a woman lying in his CEO's arms but was prudent enough to keep

mum.

Initially, the manager wanted to lead them to a private suite, but Cayden waved his hand to stop him from

following. He then walked into the elevator with Avery.

“Let me go, Cayden...” Avery uttered in a raspy voice. She felt miserable as the drug continued to take a toll on her

body.

“You're scared now, huh? Well, it's too late!” Cayden nibbled on her ear.

His manly scent overwhelmed her nose. Avery could not help but take a whiff of it.

She eventually took a few more breaths. It was as if inhaling his scent could help dissipate the heat from her body.

Cayden was aware of her behavior. Upon noticing the sweat droplets rolling down her chest, he smirked. “Avery,

look how raunchy you are. I should take a video of you to show you how you're acting now.”

Avery's eyes darkened when she heard his sarcastic remark.

Feeling helpless, she could only look away to avoid making eye contact with him. How can I explain to him that it's

out of my control? Nina will be in danger if I don't do as Dylan said.

Besides, she did call him for help during the most crucial moment, but his phone was off. What else could I do?

Cayden thought Avery looked away because she was embarrassed to face him. He could not help but start

developing mixed feelings.

A corner of the man's lips quirked up. “So you were desperate for another man's touch because I failed to satisfy

your needs when I was away for a couple of days, huh? I never knew you were so raunchy!”

His words chilled Avery to the bone. She shuddered at his ruthless accusation.

She stared into his eyes in disbelief.

Seeing veins popping out on his face, Avery expressed her disappointment, “Is that how you think of me, Cayden?”

She had only loved Cayden throughout the twenty-four years of her life.

She had given all her love and care to the man.

He emerged like a sparkling star during her teenage years, overwhelming every part of her body and bringing life

to her empty soul. He came into her world as her most beautiful dream and gave her the confidence to conquer

her inferiority.

From then on, the ways Cayden smiled and moved and even his speaking voice struck a chord with Avery.

He eventually became an addiction she could not give up on.

Avery knew Cayden would continue to haunt her for the rest of her life.

Yet, at this point, the love of her life humiliated her with such vile words. After hiding the sorrow in her eyes, she

lifted her head and gazed into his eyes.

Despite shaking in anger, Avery did not want the misunderstanding to deepen. “Cayden, I don't care what you think

of me, but I just want you to know things are not always what they seem.”

Cayden was not ready to take a step back. His lips curled into an unsympathetic smirk as he glared at the

disheveled woman.

A glint flashed across his eyes. He inched closer and whispered in her ear, “Things are not always what they seem,

huh? What exactly are you trying to say? I saw you lying on Dylan's bed, and he was on top of you. Don't you enjoy

being forced into that position?”

Those remarks cut Avery like a sharp blade, especially when they came from the love of her life, who accused her

of infidelity.

Like a burning piece of metal from a smelting furnace, his words were etched deeply in her heart.

What he said had broken Avery down, putting her through utter misery.

Meanwhile, the burning heat surged through her body, and the bizarre feeling in her lower torso continued to

become more intense. She was mad and embarrassed, but the man's words were the straws that broke the

camel's back.

Despite her finger injury, Avery used all her might to push him away and punch him repeatedly, but she was no

match for his strength.

“Let me go, Cayden Moore! Leave me alone since you refuse to believe me. From now on, everything I do has

nothing to do with you anymore...” Avery shrieked in a weak voice. She had never been as exhausted as this

before.

The feeling of relief when she saw Cayden during the critical moment was overtaken by fury.

The more she struggled to pull herself away from him, the more friction her body created. That torturous feeling

almost drove her insane.

Soon, the elevator doors opened.

Cayden entered the elevator while Avery was still crying and throwing a fit in his arms.

No matter how she attempted to break free from his grip, Cayden still held her tightly to his chest with an intense

look on his face.
