His Sweet Menace novel

---- Chapter 14 Once I finally convinced Lilith , we went ahead with my plan. Lily had almost stripped Horace bare. I deliberately walked out in a bathrobe and headed toward the bed. Right then, my phone buzzed. I checked and saw it was a message from Charles. "Shay, I'll go to the Moore residence tomorrow to call off the engagement. Just wait for me." He sent another one when I didn't reply. "Are you asleep?

Remember to take your meds." For the past three years, I was the one taking care of him. He grew up above everyone else, was used to being served, and rarely cared about anyone else. Now that he finally learned how to care about someone, what he faced instead was betrayal. Seeing Charles in pain would give me a sense of satisfaction . Even so, I couldn't help worrying if his heart could handle it. I turned off my phone without replying and climbed onto the bed.

They had installed a camera in the room, and Lily was watching from outside. ---- Suddenly, something unexpected happened. As soon as I got on the bed and sat on Horace, he opened his eyes. He was weak and couldn't push me away. Seeing me sitting on him, he figured out what was happening and warned me, "Shayla, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!" Even though he and Charles were archrivals, they respected each other and never went too far.

Now that I was cheating with him, it crossed Charles' bottom line. Horace started from nothing and couldn't match the Bowman family's influence. If Charles got furious and used his family's power against him, Horace would take a serious hit. "Honey, Charles isn't here. We can make out now!" I raised my voice on purpose, then leaned in as though I was going to kiss him. I lowered my tone right after. ''I know you helped me three years ago just so I could stay with Charles.

Horace, you like Lilith, right? You want me to replace her so you can be with Lilith." Back then, after Lilith went abroad, the Moore family was worried the Bowman family would hold a grudge against them. So, they found me to pretend to be their younger daughter and sent me to Charles, hoping he'd take out his anger on me instead. ---- I approached them first, and they were still hesitating. Then, Horace stepped in and brought me into Charles' hospital room.

Looking back, he must have done it for Lilith. "Shayla , cut it out!" Horace's eyes narrowed , but I pulled the blanket over us, making it look like we were being intimate. Strangely enough , Horace's face went pale at first. Then, his ears started turning red. "Well, look at that. I can't believe a guy like you can still blush!" I mocked him. He'd fooled around with so many women, even roughly at times. So why was he acting shy now? I felt his body heat rising and gave him a look of disgust .

"Horace, are you some kind of pervert ? Do you get like this just by being with a woman?" His face turned red, then white, then red again. Finally, he let out a low growl. "Shayla, I'm a normal man!" I pretended not to hear. I flipped the blanket aside and got off the bed. Before leaving, I sneered at him. "Lilith is the one Charles dumped. You're just picking up his leftovers. Good luck with that!"
