The helpless little lamb only faced harsher bites from its predators.

Late into the night, a sudden storm struck the unpredictable mountain forest.

Rain pounded against the leaves, making them shiver and nearly fall, but the firm branches clung tightly, refusing to yield.

The rhythm of the rain crashed through the forest, creating a wild yet haunting melody. It mingled with the dying cries of the lamb and the wolf’s ragged breathing, warning any creature nearby to flee.

The tempest roared on, drenching Serenity Peaks again and again.

By dawn, after an entire night of relentless rain, the downpour finally quieted.

The air carried the fragrance of blooming roses and the earthy scent of wet grass, blending with the rain’s freshness to lift the spirit. Yet, every so often, the faint stench of last night’s hunt still lingered, sending a cold shiver down one’s spine.

Morning broke. In a sunlit room, Sterling held the drowsy woman close, pressing soft kisses all over her face.

Claudia sensed what was happening under the sheets and shut her eyes tightly, drained of

energy.

She truly thought she wouldn’t survive this.

Since the old boss and the new one had moved into the villa, they hadn’t been seen outside

once.

Even when the two–day class reunion ended, Claudia was nowhere to be found.

Everyone had wanted to thank her, but didn’t get the chance. Still, they left satisfied.

The mountain scenery was stunning, the gossip was lively, and they all went home with plenty to talk about from the trip.

Amelia stayed quiet, managing the event without asking questions. She just instructed everyone to keep their distance from the villa and only bring meals to the door.

Rumor spread that even the delivery staff weren’t permitted inside the villa’s living area.

Sally felt a little let down; she had so much more that she wanted to tell Claudia. Eunice patted her shoulder and grinned. “Don’t worry, Sterling said he’ll invite us again next time. There’ll be more chances to catch up.”

Sally thought for a moment, then nodded.

“Let’s head out.”

The two laughed as they made their way down the mountain.

As guests gradually departed, the room with drawn curtains remained alive as the celebration continued.

The peaceful mountain was perfect for anyone seeking solitude.

Sterling was beyond pleased with his choice of venue for the reunion.

Claudia furrowed her brows slightly, her fingers gripping the pillow, her gaze distant as she stared at the flowers swaying in the vase beside the bed.

Her legs were …

A faint sound escaped her lips.

She was sure Sterling was putting every ounce of his gym–trained strength to use on her.

By the end, even taking a shower left her so weak she had to rely on him for everything.

Days slipped by in a blur of indulgent chaos.

Sterling learned quickly, always tempting her into new experiences.

Well, she had to admit, her curiosity played a part too.

At first, it was exhausting yet thrilling, something she genuinely enjoyed.

But by that night, she was completely spent and utterly worn out.

When he tried to reach for her again, she pushed him away, looked serious, and told him she wanted to do something normal for a change.
