Every innocent touch, every fleeting glance sent his mind into a frenzy of longing, leaving him feeling helpless and out of control.With a frustrated sigh, Eric spoke aloud to the mysterious ring on his finger, his voice filled with desperation. "Come on, ring," he muttered, his words echoing in the empty room.

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 110: What A Night (I)
"I'm glad you asked, Emily," Eric began, his voice tinged with sincerity as he looked into her eyes. "You see, Mr. Radcliffe and I aren't related at all. It's just a coincidence that we share the same last name."Emily furrowed her brow, clearly skeptical. "But you two seem so close. And why does he treat you with such generosity?"Eric forced a smile, hoping to appear convincing. "Well, it's because I once saved his life," he lied smoothly. "A few years back, there was an accident, and I happened to be in the right place at the right time. Mr. Radcliffe was incredibly grateful, and ever since then, he's been like a mentor to me."Emily's eyes narrowed slightly as she studied Eric's face, searching for any signs of deception. But Eric's expression remained steady, his features composed and earnest."I see," Emily said slowly, still clearly uncertain. "And what about your last name? Is there no connection there?"Eric shook his head, his voice firm. "None at all. It's purely coincident
The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 111: Rejecting Her Advances
Eric guided Emily to their room, supporting her as she stumbled slightly in her heels. He helped her sit on the edge of the bed, watching as she kicked off her shoes with a careless abandon. As he moved to tuck her into bed, Emily's hands roamed over his body, her touch lingering with a fiery intensity. She leaned in close, her words slurred with alcohol but filled with a boldness that took Eric by surprise. "I want you," she whispered, her breath warm against his skin. "I don't want to wait."Eric couldn't help but chuckle softly, though there was a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Emily, you're drunk," he reminded her gently, trying to keep the situation light despite the intensity of her advances. "This isn't the right time."But Emily pouted, her bottom lip jutting out in a childish display of frustration. "I don't care," she insisted stubbornly. "I want you, Eric. And I know you want me too."Eric shook his head, a fond smile playing at the corners of his lips. "That may be true,

With a groan, she shifted in bed, feeling the ache in her limbs exacerbated by the uncomfortable stiffness of her dress.Gritting her teeth against the headache that throbbed behind her temples, Emily reluctantly pushed the duvet aside, the cool air offering a brief respite from her discomfort. She squinted against the brightness of the room, her senses still dulled by the lingering effects of alcohol.With unsteady steps, Emily made her way to the bathroom area, calling out for Sebastian in a feeble attempt to locate her missing companion.

I mean, can we really afford to go shopping right now?"Eric flashed her a reassuring smile, his expression calm and composed. "Of course, Emily. Don't worry about it," he replied smoothly, his voice oozing with confidence.Emily furrowed her brow, still uncertain. "But I thought you said you were tight on money..."Eric chuckled softly, reaching out to take her hand in his. "I may not be rolling in cash, but I've been saving up for a special occasion," he explained, his tone earnest.A hint of skepticism lingered in Emily's eyes, but she couldn't help but be swayed by Eric's convincing demeanor. "Okay, if you say so," she relented, offering him a small smile.As they wandered through the shops, Eric regaled Emily with tales of his thriftiness and resourcefulness, painting a picture of a man who knew how to make every penny count.

Mason settled comfortably onto Claudia's couch, crossing his legs and leaning back with an air of casual confidence. He regarded Claudia with a calculating gaze before speaking. "You being Eric's ex-wife certainly makes this situation more intriguing, wouldn't you agree?"Claudia nodded thoughtfully, pouring herself a drink before taking a seat opposite Mason. "Indeed," she replied, her tone tinged with curiosity. "But what exactly has Eric done to earn your hate?"Mason's expression darkened slightly as he launched into his tale. "Eric stole Emily Walter from me," he began, his voice tinged with bitterness. "She was meant to be mine, but he swooped in and whisked her away. Now they're dating, and I want nothing more than to see him suffer for taking what was rightfully mine."Claudia's eyes gleamed with interest as she sipped her drink, nodding along with Mason's words.
