Since she was young, Jessica had dedicated herself to dance and spent large sums each month on skincare to keep her complexion flawless and smooth. Her figure, graceful and slender, was accentuated by the tight fit of the strapless mini dress she wore, showing off her curves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley sat on the sofa, his eyes fixated on her. As she toyed with his attraction, he couldn\u2019t help but glance at her body, admiring her elegant shape.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica had always been one of the most beautiful women in Hovendale, and she obviously possessed something special to have caught Stanley\u2019s eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing his gaze, Jessica raised an eyebrow with a confident smirk, clearly aware of the effect she was having on him. She stepped closer; her high heels clicking on the floor, and boldly climbed onto his lap, straddling him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her delicate fingers playfully traced the muscles of his chest. \u201cStanley, you\u2019re so hard.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing. \u201cWith you so stiff, how could it not be a big surprise that I\u2019m here, offering myself to you? Are you surprised yet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was claiming that she was the surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley remained silent, watching her with a detached expression as she continued to push her allure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a sly smile, Jessica draped her arms around his neck and whispered seductively, \u201cStanley, do you want me? If you do, you\u2019ll have to sign this first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pulled out a document.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley glanced at it. It was a divorce agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStanley, I want you to sign this and divorce Wendy right now. If you don\u2019t, I won\u2019t give myself to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica was certain she had the upper hand in this situation. How could a man resist a beauty like her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley looked at her, his voice cold as he said, \u201cI\u2019m not divorced from Wendy yet. Is your family in such a hurry?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica froze. \u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour family must be so disappointed earlier when I didn\u2019t catch Wendy and Hank in bed in front of the entire Hovendale elite, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s pupils contracted as she met his cold gaze. He was watching her carefully, his expression unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley gently removed her hands from his neck. \u201cWendy is still my wife, and I don\u2019t want this to happen again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he pushed her off his lap and stood up, making his way toward the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica stood frozen for a moment, stunned by his rejection. She had come here full of confidence; she wanted to use herself as leverage to make Stanley divorce Wendy, imagining that this night would lead to a romantic first with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the reality hit her hard. Stanley\u2019s focus wasn\u2019t on her. His concern was for Wendy. He had made it clear- Wendy was still his wife, and he didn\u2019t want anything like this happening again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was this a warning? For Wendy?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s heart raced as she rushed forward, wrapping her arms around Stanley from behind.,\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her hands began to roam over his chest, feeling the heat building inside him. \u201cStanley, don\u2019t go! Stay with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could he possibly hold back at this point?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had already been affected by the aphrodisiac and was burning up from the moment he left Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Jessica was a beauty, and she was actively seducing him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Stanley simply removed her hand and said, \u201cI\u2019m not in the mood tonight. I don\u2019t want to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What did he just say?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica froze, the words sinking in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley didn\u2019t look back: \u201cI\u2019ll have the driver take you home Get some rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without another word, Stanley left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still standing in her dress, Jessica stomped her foot in frustration. \u201cStanley!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2026.had actually walked away?\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a woman, Jessica could feel it\u2013the shift in Stanley\u2019s attention. Why wasn\u2019t he the same with her anymore?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley entered the master bedroom, calling out, \u201cWendy\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
