Chapter 52\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s tall, imposing frame blocked Wendy\u2019s path, pressing her between the wall and his chest as he sneered, \u201cWendy, did you do that on purpose?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy pushed against him, her delicate hands barely making an impact. \u201cI don\u2019t understand what you\u2019re talking about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop playing dumb.\u201d Stanley\u2019s piercing eyes darkened with irritation. \u201cYou purposely pushed me toward Trish!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had figured it out! He had known all along that she was using him as a pawn, stirring up trouble between Jessica and Trish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never imagined she could so casually shove him toward another woman, forcing him into a three\u2013minute kiss with someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stopped pretending. Her clear, innocent eyes met his as she said, \u201cMr. Hawk, Trish fancies you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s her problem,\u201d Stanley shot back, uninterested. \u201cWhy does it concern me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were countless women interested in him\u2013did he have to answer to every single one?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy fell silent, realizing he wasn\u2019t interested in Trish. Jessica still held his affection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk,\u201d she said, \u201cwhy are you so upset? Jessica and Trish both have feelings for you. That\u2019s a sign of your charm! Let go of me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley didn\u2019t budge. Instead, his voice dropped to a low, dangerous whisper. \u201cDid what I told you that night? Why are you still tangled up with Nathan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A mocking smile tugged at his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
you forget\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy, you just want to use Nathan to get under my skin and grab my attention, don\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was he saying? How could he be so arrogant?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk, \u2018you\u2019re imagining things. I don\u2019t love you anymore!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the second time she had told him this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s lips curled in a cold smirk as he reached up, his long fingers brushing lightly across her delicate face, his touch teasing and intimate. His voice was softer now, almost a whisper, carrying that magnetic tone that made her heart race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really don\u2019t love me anymore? I guess you\u2019ve forgotten how I kissed you senseless that night at the family estate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

That man was a master of flirting. Wendy\u2019s face turned a mix of red and white as she remembered everything about that night\u2013how he kissed her with his eyes wide open, how he mocked her when she was lost in the kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had the nerve to bring it up again!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley grabbed her chin, his eyes filled with mischief as he looked down at her. \u201cLet\u2019s see if you really don\u2019t love me anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without warning, he leaned in to kiss her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy felt like Stanley, that arrogant jerk, was certain she still had feelings for him. He thought he could just bully her into showing affection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t about to let him win. In a swift move, she bent her knee and shoved it into his\u00a0<\/p>\n
groin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley wasn\u2019t expecting it. He gasped in pain, clutching his stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stepped back, taking advantage of his stunned state. \u201cMr. Hawk, I hope you understand now that I don\u2019t love you anymore!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t look back as she walked away, leaving Stanley standing there, his face unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy returned to the lavish booth, where Jessica and Trish were already seated again. The Truth or Dare round was clearly over, and she couldn\u2019t just let them fight over Stanley any\u00a0<\/p>\n
longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had returned to his spot as well, his face clouded with an unapproachable air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy avoided his gaze, acting as though nothing had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The third round of the game started. This time, the beer bottle\u2019s neck pointed toward Benny, while the bottom of the bottle pointed at Nathan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny rubbed his hands together excitedly. \u201cFinally, my turn! Nathan, it\u2019s your turn for a dare. Just like Trish, I want you to pick one of the ladies here and kiss them for three minutes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
