Horace watched Brittany’s retreating figure , noticing the way she swayed her hips with a teasing grace that was impossible to ignore . The sight was maddening enough to make him laugh bitterly .
Ida raised her hand as if to wipe the corner of Horace’s mouth . “ Are you alright ? ”
But before her hand could reach him , Horace stepped back sharply “ I’m going home first . ”
With that , he turned and left .
Ida’s hand froze midair . Alene now , she dropped all pretenses . Herexpression twisted into one of bitter resentment and cold malice .
She hated Brittany .
Ida was the daughter of the Larson family’s driver . Years ago , her father had died saving Horace’s father , and her mother died soon after .
Because Horace felt indebted to Ida , he had always looked after her and they had practically grown up together .
Ida had loved Horace deeply , believing she would one day marry him and become Mrs. Larson .
But then the Larson and Brewer families suddenly arranged an alliance through marriage , and Horace married Brittany instead .
Ida had tried to convince herself that Brittany was just a pawn in a grand alliance , doomed to a lonely life , but nothing could have been further from the truth .
Brittany was a temptress . From the moment she married Horace , she clung to him like a snake .
Two years into their marriage , Ida had once stood outside Horace’s study . The door wasn’t fully closed , and she had peeked inside .
Horace sat behind his desk , surrounded by stacks of paperwork , but Brittany was perched on his lap , her camisole slipping off one shoulder , revealing her smooth skin .
Horace’s voice was husky . “ I still have a lot of work tonight . ”
“ Don’t work tonight , honey . I want you … ” Brittany cooed , wrapping herself around him .
Horace held her close . “ Okay . Let’s go to the bedroom . ”
But Brittany shook her head stubbornly . “ I want to do it right here in your study . Don’t you like it ? ”
Horace tilted his head , kissing her deeply , letting her hands roam inside his expensive shirt , teasing and bold .
Brittany , breathing heavily , said , “ I heard there’s a really beautiful new secretary at your company . ”
“ Who ? ”
“ You know who I’m talking about . That secretary who looks at you with stars in her eyes . ”
Horace chuckled . “ I honestly don’t know who you mean . ”
“ Really ? If you don’t know her , then I’ll tell your assistant to transfer her . ”
“ Do as you wish . ”
Brittany softened , pouring in a playful tone . “ You must think I’m being a little jealous . But with you being handsome and rich , I have to keep an eye on you , or else you’ll be handing out favors to other women . ”
Horace’s hand slipped beneath her skirt , his eyes darkening . “ You can’t seem to keep your hands off of me ; you wring me dry every day . I have nothing to offer others . ”

Brittany kissed him gently . “ Let’s have a baby . ”
“ Why the sudden urge ? ” Horace asked , surprised .
“ Don’t you want to have a baby with me ? ”
“ I do . ”

Ida had been standing just outside the door , jealousy burning in her eyes as she watched . Brittany , perched on Horace’s lap , still wearing high heels , looked utterly seductive and reckless as her thin heels brushed lightly against his black trousers .
Who could resist a sight like that ?
Horace was young and passionate then .
Brittany was beautiful , clever , and capable , as she had been raised to shine as the daughter of the wealthy Brewer family . Facing a man , she knew exactly how to take the lead . By choosing to marry Horace , she had made it clear she wanted everything from him .
In those early years of marriage , Horace was utterly captivated .
Soon after , Brittany became pregnant .
Ida had hoped that she might have a chance , but Brittany only held on tighter . Once again , Ida had stood outside the door , peeking in .
Horace sat on the couch while Brittany knelt before him , tending to him with unwavering devotion .
No man could ever say no to a woman like that .
