Love beyond the mask ( Whitney )
Chapter 783

Parker was beyond satisfied with this woman's body, which was why he was insatiable these past three days, always wanting more. If only she could keep her mouth shut and not reveal her quirky personality.

That would make everything perfect.

She was indeed beautiful, her body soft and yielding in all the right places, sending him into a state of bliss.

"Zip it, I'm almost there, just one more time," Parker grumbled with a heavy dose of desire in his eyes.

Tiana was dumbfounded by his self-diagnosed treatment plan!

She lifted her face, pinned down by his hands, resorting to headbutting his nose in protest, "You've got some nerve. Just one more time and you're cured?

Why don't you say it needs ten more times? Men will say anything to get what they want, won't they?"

Parker flashed a mischievous grin, "Then let's say ten more times."

"!!!

Tiana was livid, wishing she could tear apart his handsome face.

But she couldn't outfight him or outwit his thick skin.

And any slight resistance from her would be met with his own form of 'punishment'.

Feeling helpless, she pleaded, "Seriously, let me go. I can't take it anymore."

"...Slower, perhaps?" His dark eyes shimmered, his breath teasing.

"Not that either." Tiana was wrapped up in his persistence, almost forgetting why she had capitulated in the first place. Despite being tormented to death these three days, she continuously seized the opportunity to fill his head with reminders, "Parker, let's talk serious for a moment.

Have you remembered anything I told you about before your memory loss? You have a brother in arms named Ludwik. You got into this mess trying to help him.

Fell into the sea, lost your memory.

And then your uncle Phineas found you.

Now, Phineas has the wrong idea about Ludwik, thinking he betrayed you.

Phineas wants revenge against Ludwik, even planning to hand over a crucial deal to Ludwik's enemy.

I don't want things to get complicated, nor do I want Bryce, that scoundrel, to benefit from this.

You promised after sleeping with me, you'd talk to your uncle about giving the deal to Ludwik.

It's been three days, move it!"

Her frustration grew as she spoke, itching to kick him.

Caught up in the throes of passion, too busy 'detoxing' himself, had he even spared a thought for the matter at hand?

"My uncle went to New York City these past few days. Bought a manor there and threw a housewarming party to meet the city's moguls. We'll talk when he gets back," Parker nibbled at her earlobe. Tiana blushed, trying to squirm away, barely focusing as she pushed him off, "This is important for you.

Right now, you don't recognize Ludwik because of your memory loss.

He's your best friend. You'll regret it if your uncle ends up helping the wrong side."

"Who's the wrong side?" Parker frowned, asking absent-mindedly.

"The Patrick family, Wade and Jarvis, and Bryce, those three scumbags!"

Tiana spoke earnestly, "You always despised those guys, you and Ludwik were on the same side! Why don't you check if your uncle's back from New York City?

I bet he's already scoped out his business partners.

If Inko Group chooses the Patrick family, I'm going to be livid.

You must stop him before he signs anything, steal the deal back."

Her relentless nagging, speaking with such seriousness, killed Parker's mood. His frustration unvented, and yet she was uncooperative.

He stared at her with a cold expression.

Finally, he concluded, "Is this Ludwik guy someone you're secretly crushing on?"

"...What?" Tiana doubted she was conversing with a human.

Even a pig would have better comprehension skills.

Surely, memory loss had affected his brain in extraordinary ways!

"Isn't it a crush? Otherwise, why mention him countless times while I'm with you, completely disregarding my feelings?

For three days, you've mentioned helping him at least a hundred times!

Is he some kind of gigolo that needs you to trade your body with me for his business empire?"

Parker's reasoning was sound, his tone tinged with an unwitting jealousy.

Tiana was utterly flabbergasted, wishing she could smack him.

Didn't he know who she really liked?

Because of her feelings, she had reluctantly agreed to let him 'detox', nearly getting 'slept to death' in the process.

And this was his response?

"Just shut up. Fine, I like Ludwik, love him even.

Not into you, you turnip.

Anyway, go talk to your uncle, make sure Ludwik gets the deal.

Otherwise, I'm done helping you 'detox'."

Tiana glared, defeated, and shoved him away.

Wrapping herself in a sheet, she staggered into the bathroom, "And yeah, I'm starving.

Go make me breakfast.

You beast, you've hardly let me eat these past three days to save time.

Ugh...you're a heartless devil."

"..." Parker's handsome face was a picture of regret.

He couldn't fathom why she was suddenly in tears.

Hadn't he taken good care of her, ensuring she enjoyed their moments together?

He got up, his muscular chest marked with scratches, threw on a shirt, and stepped out.

The hallway was lined with the butler and several maids on standby.

Seeing their master, looking well and free of any illness, the maids blushed, having overheard the intense activities of the last three days. They envied Ms. Melford; not only was their master handsome and well-built, but his 'performance' was... impressive. Ahem. "Ahem! Master, you... finally emerged," the butler exclaimed genuinely, sneaking glances at him, "Master, you seem much better, quite alert."

"Yes, no episodes these three days."

"That's truly a cause for celebration. Who knew that woman inside would be so effective!" The butler was overjoyed, "I'll get some doctors to check on you right away."

"Alright." Parker rolled up his sleeves, turning, "Where's my uncle, is he back?"

"He returned yesterday." The butler peeked at him, "But he knew you were 'detoxing' and didn't want to disturb you."

"I need to see him." Parker frowned.

Though he had no clue who Ludwik was, what mattered was that the woman inside had asked for it.

If he didn't help Ludwik, she might refuse to 'detox' him in the future.

Parker was hooked, completely absorbed in the thrill of it all.

"Master went out to sea today, trying to track down the source of your fever. Wants to see what kind of deep-sea creature bit you."

"It's okay." Thanks to Tiana's care, he was nearly back to full health.

With that, Parker walked outside, picked one of the sleek yachts, and set out into the open sea.

However, once he reached the heart of the ocean, the sky turned furious, unleashing a tempest with waves that roared menacingly.

Alone, he had no choice but to steer the yacht back.

But as he made a turn, a monstrous wave rose, engulfing the sky and flipping the yacht over.

Trapped under the yacht, Parker quickly escaped and, with practiced ease, strapped on a life jacket.

Suddenly, it struck him how instinctive his actions were, as if he had done this before.

Who was he before he lost his memory?

His head began to throb with pain. In the oppressive, churning waters, he felt lost, surrounded by darkness... and soon, consciousness slipped away from him.

In that moment, his mind flickered with fragmented memories, and there, vividly, was Ludwik!

They were close, brothers in arms facing life and death together...

Parker's eyes snapped open in realization. Ludwik!
