Chapter 2 Satisfy My Needs
Desmond’s eyes were deep.
And Guadalupe’s eyes were devoid of any emotion.
The atmosphere in the parking lot was oppressive to the extreme.
Looking at Guadalupe, Belinda Graham didn’t distance herself from Desmond at all. Instead, she became even more presumptuous; she even wrapped her arm around his neck and leaned to his ear, whispering something.
Guadalupe’s eyes were stung by the scene.
She averted her gaze, got into her car and drove away, not glancing in their direction again.

No longer after she arrived home, the sound of a car came from downstairs.
As she stood in front of the glass cabinet in the cloakroom, taking off her necklace, Desmond stood behind her. His body was tall and beefy, and she felt his powerful aura at once.
He propped his hands against the cabinet, leaned closer to her, and looked. at her face. “Are you upset?”
She put away the necklace unhurriedly and said flatly, not looking at him.

out.”
Remaining silent for a while, he said, “The Graham family wants to develop the Project ‘Polaris‘ together with us. I’ve been in contact with
Caleb lately. He’s the family’s eldest son. Ms. Graham is his sister.”
She said sarcastically, “Oh, so he won’t work with you unless you’re together with her?”
He was rendered speechless for a few seconds before he said, sounding angry, “Guadalupe, I’m explaining to you. Stop throwing shade at me.”
“You don’t need to explain.” Finally, she tilted her head to look at him, her gaze so icy and pure that he felt as if she could see through him. “Desmond, if you’re fed up with being with me and want a new hostess for this family, I can step down.”
Desmond pulled a long face at once. “What did you say?”
She sighed. “I mean, we can get a divorce.”
Then she pushed him away.

As she was about to walk away, he forcibly pulled her back, pinched her chin, and warned her, “Don’t even think about it.”
She remained silent.
She thought about it and even did it.
She no longer wanted him.
Desmond stayed until late at night. After receiving a call, he left. Guadalupe clearly heard a delicate female voice on the other end of the line, and it seemed the woman was crying.
The next morning, Guadalupe’s divorce lawyer and friend sent her at screenshot of Belinda’s latest update. In the photo were two hands, one big and one small, making a heart shape on the mountaintop in the early hours of the morning. The caption read, “We feel each other’s heartbeat in
the tender sunrise.”

Chapter 2 Sabiały My Meads
Guadalupe recognized right away that the big hand was Desmond’s.
She sat in situ, holding the glass of water for a long, long time.
As she put it down, a crisp sound rang out. She felt as if a piece of her heart had been stripped away.
For the next several days, Desmond never came home.
They only met at the company’s meetings. He sat in the main seat, and she sat on one side of the table together with other higher–ups. They barely had any eye contact.
And she never came upstairs to see him.
When she had some free time, she’d browse and view houses as well as get rid of the gifts Desmond had given her, including the first–anniversary gift. birthday gifts, Valentine’s Day gifts, and wedding gifts… She even sold her wedding ring.
Since she no longer wanted to be with him, anything related to their relationship meant nothing to her.
At night, the owner of Rhodax Group, Ciara Orozco, invited her to hang out at a club.
It was almost 11 p.m., and she wanted to say no at first. Yet, after she divorced Desmond and left Zenith Group, she’d need connections to start up her own business, so she eventually agreed.
She saw Ciara the moment she entered the club.
“Ciara, I could have gone up myself. You don’t have to wait for me here at all,” she said.
Ciara linked arms with her enthusiastically and entered the elevator together with her. “I was worried you’d get lost. You’ve never been here

before, right?”
Indeed, it was the first time she had been here.
After they went upstairs, Ciara led her into a big private room with a big screen in the middle, dividing the private room into two halves.
Upon entering. Guadalupe noticed quite a lot of people on the other side of the screen. But instead of taking her to them, Ciara led her to the side. where there was only one woman.
Guadalupe felt that the woman looked somehow familiar; it seemed she was the girlfriend of one of Desmond’s buddies. The woman recognized Guadalupe, too. Though noticing the uneasy look on Guadalupe’s face, she still smiled at Guadalupe.
After Guadalupe took off her coat and sat down, Ciara walked out of the
room.
Guadalupe picked up a beverage and took a sip. The chatter of those people on the other side of the screen reached her ears; to her surprise, she heard her name.
“Hey, has anyone realized Desmond no longer takes Guadalupe when hanging out with us?”
“Is that surprising? Ms. Graham is so young and cute. He never goes anywhere without her; he dotes on her so much.”
“Finally. After all these years, Desmond has changed his taste.”
“Guadalupe is pretty indeed, but they’ve been together for eight years already. I bet he’s sick of her.”
“She’s such a fool. It turns out those years being with him are just a waste of her time.
her slen do you say I make a pass at her? Gee, I’ve been coveting
for years.”

Their voices were filled with ridicule.
Guadalupe’s gaze turned icy
She recognized two people’s voices, they were Desmond’s friends who were always friendly towards her.
The woman sitting next to Guadalupe was so awkward that she didn’t. dare to look at Guadalupe. Seeing that Guadalupe stood up, she figured Guadalupe was going to leave.
However, Guadalupe cleared her throat, picked up the glass, and walked toward the other side of the screen. She then leaned against the screen and said leisurely, joining their conversation, “Guys, that’s not fair, is it? Desmond was a virgin before he was with me. Don’t you think I’ve used him to satisfy my physical needs without paying him a penny for eight years?”
The room immediately fell deadly silent.
Everyone on the couch gawked at her.
As she said this, two slender men happened to walk into the room.
They looked at her and then shifted their gazes to those men behind her, totally dumbfounded.
