A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire
Chapter 42 From Now On, I Will Love You Harder

A few photos were attached to Raelyn's message.

"Eliza, Tanner took me to the mountains to see a doctor today to nurse my body. This doctor is really amazing; I can feel my body getting better already."

"Also, I've secretly taken a few photos of Tanner. You're the only one I'm sharing with! Don't tell anyone; it's our secret!"

None of the photos showed his face; actually, they were all his back. But she could still tell it was him at a glance.

Her sister stood right behind him, beaming.

They were... a perfect match.

The heartache she felt before appeared again.

His assistant said he was on a business trip, probably instructed by Tanner to say so.

Noticing the change in her mood, Nicholas asked, "What's wrong? You don't look so good."

Eliza forced a smile. "It's nothing."

However, her slightly red eyes told him that it was a lie!

Nicholas squinted a little. He wasn't blind; how could he not tell something was up?

However, since she didn't want to talk about it, then he wouldn't ask.

After all, they weren't familiar with each other.

Eliza could tell that the atmosphere was a little awkward. But it felt as though something was stuck in her heart, making her uncomfortable. "Sorry, I..."

Nicholas interrupted her. "You don't have to apologize. Have you forgotten you've asked me out to thank me?"

"Sigh, but I haven't even heard a word of thanks from you yet." He placed one hand on his head and acted like he was wronged.

Eliza looked at him and smiled once more.

Nicholas looked at her seriously, then said, "Do you know you look stunning when you smile..."

"Really?"

A deep, mellow voice with a thick chill interrupted his words.

Tanner appeared all of a sudden.

Raelyn had wanted to stay in the mountains for a few days, but the doctor had a rule that his patients could only stay for a day. After giving her a prescription, he asked them to leave.

Publicity-stunt-like rule. But perfect for Tanner as he didn't want to stay another second longer.

Returning to the company around five, he quickly dealt with the pile of documents so that he could go home to his Eliza sooner.

Ironically, the person who had been following her sent him a picture at six-thirty.

She was standing face to face with a man, smiling at each other.

Tanner's smile turned vicious as he saw the photo.

Watching from the side, Fran only thought the world was about to end.

Sure enough, Tanner headed straight to the destination after he received the address.

Right then, Tanner got closer and closer to them, exuding dominance.

Seeing his sudden appearance, Eliza panicked.

Why was he here? Shouldn't he... be with Raelyn?

"Come here,"

Tanner ordered with a grim face. Though his words were directed at Eliza, his eyes latched onto Nicholas.

His gaze was sub-zero, filled with warning.

However, Nicholas was lost, unsure of what to make of the situation.

He knew... this person. Wasn't he the Deleon family's only son, Tanner? He looked at Eliza. It seemed... he had discovered an incredible secret.

Eliza was completely flustered. She heard him, but she didn't move an inch. Raelyn's message ruffled her, and Tanner's appearance got her heart tightened.

However, Tanner, who didn't know Raelyn had twisted the story, only though Eliza was feeling guilty, seeing that she was motionless.

Huh! If it weren't for that doctor's stupid rules, he might really have missed out on this wonderful scene.

"Eliza Stone, do you really crave men that badly?" He said through gnashed teeth.

Hearing that, blood drained from Eliza's face.

Not even in her dreams would she think she would one day hear such words coming out of his mouth.

Nicholas also got upset at his words. How rude to say that to a young lady.

However, Tanner stood firmly on the spot. Heavens knew how furious he was when he saw that photo. Seeing Eliza dumbstricken, he had enough with words and grabbed her wrist, dragging her out.

His grip was so tight that Eliza thought her bones were close to shattering.

It was also this pain that pulled her back to reality, no longer like a soulless puppet.

She quickly greeted Nicholas goodbye.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. Let's meet some other time. Thank you, bye."

How dare she still say goodbye to him when he was right there?! She still wanted another rendezvous?!

How bold, Stone!

He tightened his grip and strode even faster. Being dragged behind, Eliza endured the pain, forcing herself to stay silent as she trotted, trying to keep up with him so as not to fall over. Reaching the exit, he shoved her into the car.

"Start the car."

"Yes, Sir."

Seeing his boss was in an awful mood, Fran didn't dare delay, hitting the gas, heading for the suburbs.

Eliza's mind was in a mess, sitting in the car.

Before he showed up, her heart wrenched as though someone was choking her, suffocating. But the moment she saw him, her heart could not help skipping.

Her heart was trying hard to tell her she really missed him.

Her heart had felt as though a piece of it had been missing since he left two days ago.

She had imagined how they would reunite. However, she never expected this...

The spot where he grabbed her was still burning in pain, and if the lighting were any brighter, they could see it was bruised.

She couldn't tell how she was feeling anymore.

Joy, heartache, and guilt all intertwined together. She couldn't straighten them.

He should still like Raelyn if he brought her to recuperate. So, why was he so angry?

Was it only because... she was currently his wife?

Spacing out, Eliza didn't even notice she had subconsciously nestled her petite body in a corner, as far away from him as possible.

"Slap."

Tanner drew the curtains between the driver's seat and the back. All the Deleon's cars had this design.

The noise snapped her back to reality.

Now, they were alone.

Eliza's heart was beating like a drum, fearful of this side of him.

"Give me your hand."

Tanner's tall figure blocked most of the street lights coming in through the windows, shrouding most of him in darkness. Eliza could only see his eyes clearly. He was like a beast hiding in the darkness. "Scared of me?"

Through the street lights, he could see how she curled in the corner and her every expression.

And panic was written all over her face right then.

He couldn't believe she was that scared of him.

After a hesitation, Eliza stretched out her hand to him. Under the flickering lights, her wrist was fair and tender.

Tanner squinted, latching his gaze at her.

He would never admit he, the all-powerful Mr. Deleon, had relented and would even reflect on how hard he had grabbed her when he saw her curling up in a corner, looking piteous. However, her attitude successfully irritated him once more.

She could simply go out with a stranger but was afraid of her own husband?

He had only been gone for two days; she couldn't have possibly fallen in love with someone else, could she? Suddenly grabbing her stretched hand, he pulled her to him, and she fell onto his lap, trapped in his arms.

There was a cool aura surrounding him, and his scent rushed into her nostrils, shooting straight to her heart.

As she hid her yearn for him too deeply, she didn't notice how being in his arms, feeling him physically, had the feeling engulfing her.

Her breathing quickened involuntarily, and tears started pooling in her big bright eyes.

Tanner could stir her emotions the most.

But the person he liked was Raelyn. She was just a stand-in...

As her heart slowly filled with pain, looking at him, she closed her eyes to prevent him from seeing.

However, Tanner was ablaze with anger. There was nothing on the mountains, and he had been thinking about her in his free time, yet there she was, fooling around with other men.

This woman was as petite as ever, barely any heavy in his arms. It had only been days since they last saw each other, and she seemed to have gotten thinner. "She doesn't know how to take care of herself at all!" he thought.

He saw the flash of glimmer in her eyes. Was it really that miserable to be with him?

Tanner latched his gaze at her, bloodshot, but she kept her eyes shut.

Huh! She still wasn't willing to look at him even now?

Whatever, she was his wife. All of her belonged to him, and only him!

A kiss came without warning, carrying a hint of punishment. Just like him, his kiss was extremely overbearing, his scent instantly replacing the surrounding air.

He hugged her tightly as if he wanted nothing more than to knead her into his body.

Eliza was a little resistant toward this side of him, struggling to break free.

However, even with all her strength, it was nothing more than a gentle massage for him. How could she break free from it at all?

Her resistance only irritated him more.

Tanner's kiss had gone from innocent and deep to licking and nibbling. Ruffled, she started to taste a hint of blood, and her lips had gone numb too.

He had snaked his hands inside, exploring her lower abdomen and waist as she felt a chill on her waist. The heat in his palms made her shiver a little. Gradually losing her breath, her brain deprived of oxygen, and she slowly slumped into his embrace.

After kissing for god-knows-how-long, Eliza's lips were released, rendering her gasping for air as Tanner moved his kisses downward, their bodies pressed against each other.

"Tanner..." She moaned.

Moving his kisses around her neck, he suddenly sucked her earlobe, and the warm touch made her squeal.

He basically knew every sensitive part of her body now.

While the two were making out at the back, Fran's face was flushed, bright red!

Oh, how he wanted to remind his dear boss of the soundproofing of the car. Though the curtains blocked his view, their every noise was loud and clear to him!

However, the only thing he could do was send them to their destination as soon as possible.

Tanner kissed her for as long as the car ride, still reluctant to let go of her scarlet lips by the time they reached.

After the kiss, Eliza's lips were slightly swollen, taking massive breaths of fresh air, blurry-eyed, and her cheeks flushed abnormally red.

She looked even more alluring.

However, there was a ghastly chilliness when Tanner opened his eyes.

He whispered in her ear. It was the most common action between lovers, but it got Eliza stiffened.

Because he bit her ear and said word by word, "Looks like you really miss the touch of a man, Mrs. Deleon. It's my fault. From now on, I will love you harder."☐☐
