?Chapter 549:


    “Are you trying to set me on fire with your words, Ellie? Is that it?” Kaiden’s frustration bubbled into augh. He lifted her effortlessly, her body now relying solely on his strength, leaving her no avenue for escape.


    “I think I might keep you up the entire night!” Kaiden told her.


    “Wait… we need to use a condom!”


    Suddenly, Ellie’s mind was focused on the fact that they had to take precautions.


    Kaiden looked at her, a hint of challenge in his voice. “If you get pregnant, we’ll have the baby. Can’t I provide for it or secure its future?”


    Ellie met his gaze with a defiant look.


    Kaiden, seeming to understand her concern, led her to the cab.


    “Choose one that you feelfortable with.”


    True to his word, Kaiden kept her awake through the night.


    Ellie wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but as they finished, the first light of dawn was creeping through the curtain.


    By the time she woke, it was already noon. The events of the night reyed in her mind. Ellie couldn’t shake the thought that Kaiden had seemed particrly enthralled by their intimacy without protection. Previously, he had always been mindful about using it, butst night, he had left the choice to her, almost as if he was making a point.


    He even made her help him put it on…


    Their current abode was a presidential suite in a five-star hotel, not some seedy love motel. The array of contraceptives seemed oddly out of ce in such a luxurious setting.


    This wasn’t what Ellie had expected from a presidential suite!


    “Well, onto the next matter. What? Want to abandon your marketing department role? Change your ns or quit. Come on, working for such little profit is practically charity.”


    Kaiden’s deep,posed voice drifted from the living room, bringing Ellie back to reality.

    After a moment, she realized the man who had tenderly bathed her before showering himself, and thus had slept inter than she had, was now busy with work in the living room.


    As Ellie reached for her phone to check the time, she noticed over twenty WhatsApp messages from Baylee. “Ellie, are you awake yet?”


    “It’s ten already. Are you still asleep?” “Are you awake? Hello?”


    “If you’re up, reply to me as soon as you can.”


    “Why aren’t you answering my calls? Hey!”


    “I mighte over and knock on your door, okay?”


    It seemed Baylee was hesitant to intrude on Kaiden and Ellie’s private time, hence the barrage of messages and calls for confirmation. Ellie noticed two missed calls from Baylee.


    Kaiden had set her phone to silent, and she hadn’t responded. Thest phone call came in at about half past eleven in the morning. It was now one in the afternoon.
