Chapter 63 Whirlwind Of Secrets

• "I heard everything you said in the room," Alfonso said, surprising Ruth. Ella's words lingered in the air, creating unspoken tension between them. Ruth hadn't spoken against Alfonso or Reid, but her worry was evident. Feeling Ruth's fear, Alfonso took a deep breath and reached for her hand, catching her off guard. She braced herself for his anger, expecting him to lash out, but to her surprise, he didn't.
• "We have quite an age difference, and you're young. You know what pleases me in bed, and you provide it. I'm unsure if I can fulfill your needs," Alfonso said, his voice gentle.
• Ruth's throat tightened, rendering her speechless. Only one thought raced through her mind: would she have the courage to tell him? As she grappled with her secret's weight, her thoughts swirled like a whirlwind, each vying for attention. Compared to her ex, Alfonso seemed lacking in energy. She was still fixated on her ex's sexual prowess, his claims of surpassing adult film actors, and his unwavering connection. He was like a koala, clinging tightly, and like a persistent dog, chasing after her until he caught her off guard. He would protect her at any cost. However, the weight of her responsibilities kept her from fully enjoying intimacy. She carried the burden of supporting her family, caring for her parents, and meeting urgent financial obligations. In the realm of passion, seeking joy wasn't enough. Power was alluring to her, and she desired more than just sexual pleasure. Money, the world's ruler, was what she craved.
