Chapter Twenty-Seven
Levi just chuckled lightly, continuing, "As I mentioned before, in the 15th day of two months later, I will organize an auction at the SOS Hotel. It's a relatively small-scale event, which is why I chose that hotel. You will be my important guest, Max."
Although Levi referred to the auction as small-scale, everyone knew that the SOS Hotel was a large establishment specializing in hosting events and conferences attended by politicians and national leaders. Not everyone with money could step foot in there. Yet, Levi described the SOS Hotel as the venue for a 'small-scale' auction.
Max laughed nervously, unable to comprehend Levi's concepts of wealth and power. If Max hadn't been friends with Levi since their school days, he might never have understood how wealth and power could be defined.
"You also know that I'm not concerned about the guest position at the auction. What I care about is the piece of land on the outskirts. You mentioned considering selling it to me, but the uncertainty makes me uneasy," Max said. He desired the piece of land on the outskirts, but becoming an important guest at Levi's auction wasn't bad either. However, Max didn't want to show enthusiasm for it.
Levi nodded slightly, "I understand your feelings. Here's the deal: until you make a second bid, I will finalize the price, and the land will be yours. I can only go this far; the decision is yours."
Max immediately received the answer he was waiting for, smiling and nodding. He had been waiting for Levi's response; otherwise, the meeting would have been meaningless.
"Can I trust you?" Despite his joy, the lingering uncertainty still bothered Max. Levi smirked, saying, "You can trust my word. It's just a matter of whether you have enough money to buy it."
The meeting went well after Max received Levi's assurance. Regardless, this was the purpose of Max scheduling a meeting at this upscale restaurant.
Bella refrained from intervening in the conversation between the two men. She knew that Max wanted the piece of land to prove his competence to shareholders and her father. However, this also meant that Max's position as director would become more secure.
Bella remembered that after she and Max got married, her father nominated Max for the position of managing director in the subsidiaries. However, at that time, both she and Max were recent graduates with no capability to take over a company, a her father's decision caused discontent among many capable and experienced individuals in the company.
Currently, Max has been able to hold the position of company director, but there are still some elements within the company dissatisfied with this decision. Perhaps that's why, whenever there is even the slightest opportunity, Max wants to seize it.
Max is an ambitious and driven man pursuing wealth and power. Bella has never opposed or hindered him in those pursuits, after all, he is the man she loves, and she does not want to hinder him knowing how others in the company perceive Max.
She didn't know when the negotiation between the two men had ended. Bella was about to stand up to leave with her husband when she heard Levi say, "Bella seems a bit distracted, what are you thinking about? Or is the food here not to your taste?"
Bella gently shook her head, smiling friendly as if nothing was wrong, and replied, "Oh, I don't want to interrupt your conversation. The food here is delicious."
Not wanting to say more to Levi, Bella quickly took Max's arm and left the restaurant. Bella got into the car with a heavy and chaotic emotion, looking at her husband, who was smiling at Levi's response.
"Max, have you ever felt tired?" Bella asked, chasing after money and power must be exhausting.
Max didn't understand Bella's meaning, thinking she was asking about his mood today. "Today is not bad. I usually work until this hour before coming home. Are you tired?"
Bella smiled faintly, pretending to be tired, and turned her face to look out the car window. "I am a bit tired indeed. I just want to take a long nap."
As soon as Bella entered the house, she wanted to go to shower and then sleep. Her body was not so tired, but her mood was extremely weary and sad. However, as soon as she stepped into the living room, Max embraced her from behind. He greedily inhaled the sweet scent on her body.
Max tightly embraced Bella's slender waist with both hands, making it impossible for her to escape. His chest pressed against her back, and the warm sensation quickly transmitted through Bella's body.
Max's breath enveloped Bella, causing her to shiver and blush. Max leaned close to his wife's ear, whispering in a low, husky voice filled with desire.
"Bella... we've been married for three years... I haven't touched you, haven't fulfilled the duties of a husband, and you haven't fulfilled the duties of a wife."
Hearing these words, Bella gritted her teeth. It wasn't that she didn't want to fulfill the duties of a wife. But from the beginning to the end, Max hadn't given her the opportunity to do so. When she no longer needed or wanted it, he turned around and accused her of not fulfilling the duties of a wife.
Seeing his wife's silence, Max thought she was shy. After all, the two of them had never been this intimate since the day they got married. Max had gotten used to it, but perhaps his wife had never experienced these emotions, hence her silence and hesitation. After all, in their three years of dating and three years of marriage, Bella had never had a sexual relationship with anyone, so Max naturally assumed she was still a virgin and very innocent.
"I know that in the past, because of work, I neglected our emotional and marital life. But you should understand, I had to make everyone, including your father, see that I was worthy of you. Now, with my job and position more stable, I want to make it up to you, Bella... I love you." Max continued to whisper in Bella's ear, expressing his love and the extent of his feelings.
Bella turned to face Max. "Do you really love me, Max? Do you truly feel guilty about me?"
Without much thought, Max immediately nodded. "Of course, I love you. If I didn't love my wife, who else could I love? You are the only one in my heart. I feel guilty for not paying attention to you during this time."
While speaking, Max gently caressed Bella's back and kissed her lips, both tender and passionate. His hand quickly explored her body, squeezing Bella's rounded breasts.
The thought that the woman in front of him was still a virgin and was his own wife intensified Max's sensations. The emotions at this moment were entirely different from when he was with Pearl, fresh and incredibly exciting.
"Bella, I love you..."
Max's kiss left Bella immersed in a daze, her mind no longer alert, following Max's lead. Everywhere Max touched felt like fire, and she couldn't comprehend how she was feeling at this moment.
Being close to Max was something she always desired, but she had never forced him or done anything similar. She always wanted him to take the initiative, but those desires were before she discovered her husband's betrayal.
But sometimes emotions can overpower reason. At this moment, her mind couldn't think of anything; it was like a blank sheet of paper.
Max gently helped Bella remove her tight dress, revealing a black bra with lace patterns embracing her clearly visible breasts in front of Max. Max looked at her beautiful body, along with Bella's shy and innocent face, which only fueled his desire.
Max was almost reaching his limit; he lifted her abruptly and headed to the bedroom. Startled, Bella clung to his neck, involuntarily moaning. Her moans acted like an addictive drug, making him even more eager.
"Max... you're in such a hurry..."
"Of course, I don't want to miss a second to be with my beautiful wife," Max said, regretting not doing this with Bella sooner. Having such a beautiful and gentle wife like an angel by his side, but he had neglected her for three years.
In no time, their clothes were scattered on the floor. Max continued to kiss and fondle Bella's round, firm breasts. Although he wanted to thrust inside forcefully, he wanted to savor the pleasure with Bella gradually, not in haste.
Max kissed her from top to bottom, starting from her forehead, lips, neck, and chest, and then to her stomach. Every place Max kissed left red and purple marks. Bella tried not to make seductive sounds, but Max said, "Don't cover your mouth and don't bite your lips. You hurt, and I'd be sad. Bella, I want to hear your voice... your sweet voice."
"But... hmmmm... ha..." Bella's hand was held by Max, and she unintentionally made a sensual moan, making Max even more delighted.
He took one of Bella's breasts in his mouth and bit it hard, causing her to moan, "Ha... hmmmm... don't bite there... it hurts..."
Max didn't neglect the other breast, continuously squeezing and pinching it, making the two pink buds stimulated and painfully stiff. Tears covered Bella's sight, and she felt extremely aroused and pleasured. This pleasure was something Max should have given her a long time ago, but he was only doing it now.
Lost in pleasure, Bella suddenly startled because...
"Max... you... hmmm... haaaa" One of Max's fingers pushed into her vagina, which had been stimulated by him for a long time and was already wet. Her vagina clamped onto Max's finger greedily.
