Chapter 1557:
His gaze lingered on her rosy lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing beneath the taut skin of his throat.
In one fluid motion, he reached out, cupped the back of her head with surprising tenderness, leaned down, and
captured her lips with his own, then gradually released her. “Instead of harboring all that resentment inside, why
not unleash it on me? I've witnessed how merciless you can be with others.”
Corrine shot him a fierce look. “You know that’s with others!” With him, her resolve always crumbled to dust.
Hesitating, she lifted the whip in her hand. Then, she abruptly tossed it into Nate's arms and pivoted to leave.
But Nate seized her wrist, drawing her into his embrace with unexpected force, and claimed her mouth once

You should go back now.”
“I haven't eaten yet.” Nate's hands circled her waist possessively, his palms gliding deliberately down the curve
of her spine until they settled at the small of her back. “Isn't it rather heartless to dismissthis way?” His eyes
captured hers, smoldering with undisguised tenderness.
With a soft sigh escaping her lips, Corrine relented. “Wait a moment.” With that, she turned and left.
After Corrine left the room, Nate's phone rang. It was Maddox calling.

Nate ignored the jibe and absentmindedly rubbed the handle of his whip.
“What's the latest on the Quinn family?” he asked, redirecting the conversation.
“It's all a mess,” Maddox responded,
