?Chapter 628:


    A storm of jealousy churned around Cole, making the inside of the car feel tense and suffocating.


    Elliana gave Cole a sidelong nce. His habit of clinging to her with such fierce possessiveness bordered on ridiculous. The fact that he had gotten jealous of eight-year-old Jeff was already absurd, and now he was riled up over some men she had plucked out of thin air. If he was so determined to stew in jealousy, she might as well turn up the heat and watch him squirm.


    A sly smile curled on her lips as she leaned back in her seat.


    “I’ve such a long list of various guys I’ve been with,” she said, every syble drenched in yfulness. “I kept some of them for days, others only for hours, depending on their charm and capability to please me. Honestly, I’ve lost track of them.”


    Cole’s features darkened as her words sank in.


    Finding the whole thing entertaining, she doubled down on her efforts to make up stories.


    “If you really ask me to do the math, well, I can’t say for sure. Maybe hundreds? Could be a thousand by now,” she said, letting a sly grin creep onto her lips. “No one came close to your level of wealth or looks, but honestly, everyone brings something special to the table. Life needs a bit of variety, doesn’t it?”


    She leaned closer and purred,


    “Want to know what set you apart from them? I’ve gottenid with every one of them. You’re the only one I haven’t had any real fun with yet.”


    Cole could barely contain his anger, and his words came out like a growl.


    “Elliana, if you don’t shut up, I swear I’ll wring your neck before we even get out of this car!”


    She didn’t give him the satisfaction of a reaction.


    “Are you on board with being my kept man whoes and goes as I please? Just give a straightforward answer.”


    “Fine,” Cole replied, his tone clipped.


    That wiped the smug grin right off Elliana’s face. She went rigid, stunned by his unexpected agreement. It didn’t make sense. Surely, he could see she was provoking him, so what on earth was he ying at by actually saying yes?


    Your escape begins at g?lnσν???s


    Her mind was still trying to wrap itself around this when his hand shot out and gripped her chin, forcing her to lock eyes with him.


    He whispered deliberately,


    “I am okay with being your kept man. But I’m setting the rules. I want all your attention. That means you will only look at me and no one else during our agreement’s effective time. You’ll have to get close to me at least once a day. And if… ”


    “You ever so much as nce at another guy while our agreement still stands, I’ll make sure you regret it. Don’t test me.”


    No time was left for Elliana toe up with an answer. Cole was already reaching for a pen and paper, pulling them from the glove box without missing a beat. His writing tore across the page—sharp, determined—as he scribbled out his terms with zero hesitation.


    Soon, an agreement appeared in herp.


    “Put your signature down right there, and the deal starts now. I’ll move in at Regal Grove tonight and take on the role myself. You’re off the hook for any payments. Actually, I’ll pay you. Ten million, every single time you have sex with me.”
