Chapter 43


    Joel kicked him. “What bullshit are you talking about? This is ke’s wife, Yasmin Starr.”


    “I’m so sorry. I should’ve known better,” the man quickly apologized to Yasmin.


    Yasmin smiled. “It’s alright.”


    There were five other people in the room, all of them handsome.


    Yasmin turned to Joel and said, “Hi there, Dr. Sawyer.”


    Joel handled Yasmin’s annual health checkup, so they knew one another already.


    “Yasmin, ke,” Joel greeted. He shooed away the two people sitting in the middle of the room and


    let Yasmin and ke sit down.


    They had a pretty lively conversation afterward and got to know one another better.


    When the waiter brought in drinks, Yasmin reached out for a ss as she was feeling thirsty. But


    ke took the ss away. He said to the waiter, “Get me a ss of orange juice.”


    “I want a cold drink.” Yasmin wanted to have some alcohol.


    “Did you forget how you behaved yesterday after getting drunk?” ke stared at her coldly.


    Yasmin blushed somewhat upon recalling what happened yesterday.


    Joel clicked his tongue. “You’ve changed, ke. You know to care about women now.”


    “She can’t drink a lot.” ke shot Yasmin a look. Yasmin had a really low alcohol tolerance.


    Yasmin was left speechless. She quietly ate some peanuts.


    All of a sudden, she felt someone look at her.


    Yasmin turned and saw Erik Hayes, one of ke’s friends.


    Erik had seen Yasmine two years ago during the wedding dinner. He was ke’s best man at the


    time. He had never shown Yasmin so much as a smile ever since.


    Yasmin wondered if they had some sort of ancestral feud. Why was Erik so hostile to her?


    “Why did you bring her here?” Erik asked. Sure enough, nothing good coulde from him


    speaking about Yasmin.


    ke eyed him. “What? I can’t bring i


    “I didn’t mean that, ke.” Erik looked awkward for a moment. He just wanted to ask why ke


    didn’t bring Giselle over instead.


    Joel saw through Erik’s intentions and hurriedly smoothed things over. “ke can bring whoever he


    wants. It’s his right, after all. Come on, drink up.”

    ke drank his beer along with everyone else in the room.


    They then talked about business matters.


    Yasmin was bored. She didn’t want the juice the waiter had brought in. She sneakily reached out to


    grab a ss of beer.


    ke was in the midst of drinking from his own ss when he stopped Yasmin’s hand, tucking it in


    his palm.


    Yasmin turned to find him looking at her. His gaze was pressuring.


    “Did I say you could drink alcohol?”


    “I don’t need you to tell me what to do.” What right did ke have to control what she did? She


    didn’t want to drink the juice regardless.


    “I said, no drinking.” ke had a stern expression on his face.


    “I also said I’d never listen to your instructions again.” Yasmin persisted in getting the ss


    of beer.


    ke dragged her into his arms and warned, “Keep on misbehaving and see how I teach you a


    lessonter tonight.”


    His “lesson” was no normal lesson.


    Yasmin blushed.


    ke then said hoarsely in her ear, “I didn’t have my fill of youst night. If you drink now, you’ll


    have to take


    it allter.”


    Yasmin was left speechless.


    “Hey, ke! You can’t treat women like that. Let Yasmin go.” Joel got up to separate Yasmin and


    ke, thinking ke was reprimanding her.


    ke let go of Yasmin and said nonchntly, “Disobedient women need disciplining.”


    Yasmin’s face might as well be bleeding from her pores.


    No one else understood what ke’s “disciplining” meant save for her. She didn’t dare speak nor


    look at ke anymore when she thought about all the things he did to her in bed. She then quietly


    sipped her orange juice.
