Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 484

Chapter 484: Am I That Bad?
“Sir, we have found her.” Chris was taking a sip of his wine when his hands paused. He held the phone tightly in his other hand.

“Are you sure it is her?” His voice contained fury, barely hidden. The desire to kill in his eyes made everyone take a step back.

“I am sending a picture.” a girl with dark brown hair was sitting on a bench near the parking lot. She had covered her face with a hood. But her hair was falling on her shoulders.

She had a slightly swollen belly proving that she was pregnant and had bandages around her hands.

Chris stared at the image as if he wanted to enter there through his phone and kill the girl.

“Should we bring her? She is alone and I would not be that…”

“Leave her!” The words stunned not only the men in his surroundings but also the one who called.

He did not reply at once but stared at the girl.

“Sir, we will not get another chance,” he pleaded.

“Fools!” the man cursed in a low but dangerous voice. “Do not return tonight. This is a trap.”

“Sir! We have seen her coming out of the car belonging to Miss Stone..” the sound of crashing something silenced them at once.

“If you love your life, you will not return here or I will kill both of them. Now get out of there and go have fun with your lovers.” They were stunned. But before they could ask what it meant? The call was cut!

“….”

“Did the boss give us a paid vacation or did he fire us?” asked one of them but the other two did not have any reply.

“Alright, just keep an eye on them and see where they go. Not tonight but I want their locations for a whole month.” Alric was standing on the balcony. The cold wind was blowing his hair. He had a cigarette in his hands.

Nora had just finished the call from Ava. She congratulated Nora and asked her to visit the main house. She even asked if they took a step closer. And when are they announcing their engagement?

Nora had the same question in her mind. Since the time she had done it for the first time with him, he always stopped at the kiss and did not continue. Even when she took the initiative, he took a step back.

He didn’t even ask for marriage or engagement. That day, she had starred in it but he had left abruptly, leaving her stunned. She told himself that he was just flustered. Or perhaps he was waiting for a better opportunity. But now.. She felt irritated looking at him.

No! Tonight, she would either have him or have answers.

Alric cut the call after giving instructions. When he returned to his room, he paused. This fragrance. He could recognise it anywhere.

He had checked Nora going to the bed. He had closed the door for her.

He walked to his bed and switched the lights on. Nora was lying on his bed as he had thought yet he stood there frozen when he noticed her bare shoulders.

He did not need to be told. She was lying there naked. She opened her eyes slowly and gave him a sly look,

“Oh, you have come.’ She sat up on the bed without holding the sheets. It slipped from her body and he gulped. her voice husky with unspoken challenge.

Alric’s breath hitched.

His eyes trailed over her almost against his will—across the gentle slope of her collarbones, the fullness of her breasts rising with each slow breath, down to where the sheet tangled loosely at her waist, just barely preserving modesty.

Desire struck him like lightning—sudden, fierce, and almost painful.

His fingers twitched at his side, aching to touch, to feel if she was as warm and soft as she looked

“Nora…” he said her name like a warning, but his voice was hoarse, low, betraying the control he was fast losing.

She tilted her head. “You keep saying my name like that. Is there something you did not like?” She shifted on the bed, her thighs brushing together, her body languid and intentional. Her breasts gingle as she moved and he groaned. “So I’ll ask again. What do you want, Alric? Do you want to touch me or..”

He didn’t answer.

He couldn’t.

His gaze dropped again, helplessly drawn to the elegant lines of her body. the gentle arch of her back, the way the shadows kissed the curves he did not yet dare to touch. He had promised himself. Everything about her in that moment was too much.too tempting, too real.

She reached for him, slow and steady, her hand extending toward where he stood frozen.

“I am done guessing,” she said, her voice low. “Either take a step forward… or walk away for good.”

Her challenge hung in the air between them.

And Alric, who had spent weeks burying his desires beneath layers of restraint—took one step forward.

Nora entwined her fingers with his, gently but firmly. Her palm was warm against his, soft and steady—completely at odds with the storm swirling behind her dark eyes.

She tugged him closer, just enough so that he had to look at her, and had to meet the question burning in her gaze. There was no mistake, he wanted her!

“Alric,” she whispered, her voice trembling at the edges—not with fear, but restraint. “Why don’t you want to touch me?”

His breath caught.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

“You say nothing,” she said, more softly this time, her fingers tightening slightly around him. “Every time we come close… you pull away. You look at me like you want me. Like I matter. But then you leave me in the cold. Every time.” she bit her lips when he did not reply. “Am I that bad in bed? I will learn, you know. I have been watching and this time i will perform better!”
