To Champagne Gold, life was always like a fast-moving truck with no brakes and a drunk driver, one she couldn't avoid.

At the age of five, she lost her parents in a helicopter crash. Life after that was one problem to another but she held on... until her grandfather passed away as well.

With his death came the loss of her position of CEO and her hard-earned shares. As if that was not enough, she was served with divorce papers and the revelation of her husband's adultery with her cousin.

Dealt with one too many blows, Champagne sought to end it all. Perhaps she could be reincarnated or whisked away to another world like the books she read before, but that was not to be. Instead, a mysterious man entered her life.

"Rather than escape like a coward, I can give you the power and resources to carry out your revenge. I have but one condition―marry me."

"Hah," I let out a breath as he breaks the kiss for a second only to entrap my mouth again.

This is nothing like my first or following kisses.

This is hotter, far more hotter than all the kisses I've had before. When I first met Rowan, I thought he was a skillful kisser, but I must have been dumb, real dumb.

I must have been delusional to think so because right now, the other kisses I've had are starting to fade away from my memory, feeling and all… This kiss, this kiss with Duke is overriding it all.

The more his tongue twists and turns inside my mouth, the more I want from him.

The bitter taste of alcohol in his tongue is evident and yet beneath that bitter taste is a sweet nectar that I didn't know could exist in a person's mouth. It's just a kiss and yet, it's not. It's something more…

38. Can I fall for you?
