The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532 Take Him On Directly

The next day, in the presidential suite, the bed shook vigorously as the couple reached their climax. Sexual tension hung thick in the air as her body clenched around him.

A guttural moan escaped his throat as he finished, and they both collapsed onto the bed, spent.

Nicole leaned on Roderick's broad chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Roddie, aren't you pleased with me today?”

Roderick lay on the bed with an arm wrapped around Nicole's shoulders while exploring her body with his other free hand. “Come on. What is it that you want from me? You rarely initiate sex.”

“Jeez, I just missed you... There's nothing more to it,” Nicole huffed. She suddenly flipped over and sat boldly on top of him.

Roderick chuckled. “You were resisting me just a few days ago when I touched you. What changed? Have you finally realized how pleasurable it is to do it with me?”

Nicole gave him a sensuous look. “Roddie, how could you say that? Haven't you heard? Life is such that if you can't resist it, enjoy it. Besides, you're really good in bed. No wonder so many women are head over heels for you...”

Roderick was floating on cloud nine. “Oh? Then who do you think is better? Me or Cayden?”

Nicole's face contorted at the mention of Cayden's name. “Please don't bring him up. He's nothing compared to you, Roddie. He's the reason I lost everything and was publicly humiliated. I've never felt so humiliated in my life...”

Tears of indignation brimmed in her eyes as she spoke.

She nestled into Roderick's arms and pouted. “Roddie, I'm so sad... I thought my adoptive parents loved me with all their hearts, but it turns out their affection was fake. When Cayden called off the wedding in front of everyone, he not only humiliated me but also caused the Lamberts to lose face. Instead of supporting me and seeking justice from the Moores, my parents told me to stay home and leave the entertainment industry. They wouldn't treat me that way if I was their biological daughter. I'm so disappointed. It's like fate has it out for me. No one in this world loves or cares about me except for you. You treat me better than anyone else...”

Her admiration and dependence on Roderick triggered his hero instinct. “Don't cry, Babe. You still have me. Anyone who wants to bully you will have to go through me first. I won't let anyone do you wrong if you become mine.”

Nicole narrowed her eyes when she heard that, a scheme forming in her head. “Are you for real?”

“Of course. I never go back on my word, especially to my woman. How can I call myself a man if I can't even protect my woman?” Roderick said hoarsely.

Nicole cringed inwardly but put on a fake smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Roddie, I can't believe I fell for that two-faced b*stard, Cayden. He's the reason I'm in such a mess right now. I hate him so much for what he's done to me. And don't even get me started on that b*tch, Avery. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this position. I want her to suffer just as much as I have. Can you help me make that happen?”

Roderick hesitated for a moment, recalling his older brother Vincent's warnings about Cayden's ruthlessness.

Although Roderick hadn't dealt with Cayden much since he had recently been discharged from the military, Vincent had mentioned Cayden's name in relation to his own business dealings, always sounding cautious and apprehensive even though Vincent was a sly businessman himself. He had warned Roderick that it would be in his best interest not to provoke Cayden.

However, Roderick couldn't bring himself to ignore Nicole's distress when he saw the look of pleading and admiration on her face. Despite Vincent's warnings, he decided to confront Cayden and take him on directly.

He came from a special forces background and was widely recognized as a world-class condottiere. A mere businessman did not scare him.

That day, Roderick noticed several peonies in the garden had wilted for unknown reasons. This was the perfect opportunity for him to strike.

These peonies were considered precious due to their rarity. Moreover, Avery had personally planted and taken great care of them, patiently waiting for the plants to bloom. Unfortunately, the peonies began to wither for unknown reasons.

After a thorough investigation, the gardener concluded that aphids had infested the plants. These insects had hidden themselves on the buds, stems, and underside of the leaves. To save the peonies, they needed to spray the plants with insecticides or aphid spray to get rid of the bugs.

If left untreated, the infestation could cause the stems and leaves to wither and die.

In her eagerness to save the peonies, Avery promptly instructed the gardener to purchase insecticides to treat the aphid infestation.

The gardener, having a regular insecticide dealer, obtained some aphid spray and applied it to the plants.

As anticipated, the peonies gradually came back to life.

That afternoon, Avery called Cayden via video in the garden to update him about the peonies. She joked about how anxious she was to see her precious plants wither as she had planted and taken care of them as if they were her own.

Cayden was about to advise Avery to keep her distance from the peonies that had been treated with insecticides since she was pregnant when she suddenly screamed in terror.
