Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Nathan gently took the certificate from her hands, placed it back in the drawer, and locked it.

He then fetched a peculiar item from the wardrobe.

When Lucinda saw it, she almost burst into laughter but managed to ask with a straight face, What is that? Its a whip, Nathan explained, his tone serious.

A costly, custom-made whip.

Youre free to use it to punish me if need be.

He laid the whip solemnly beside Lucinda, and then pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out another object.

As Lucinda pondered, she felt her legs being embraced.

She looked down and discovered that it was Nathan who had encircled her legs with his arms.

He leaned down lazily, resting his head on her lap.
