Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel really struggled to hold back her smile. Joshua Denmark may have been too ruthless, but she loved him being authoritative.

Katie's face became paler when she realized that Joshua was far beyond anything she had to expect, and it was apparent that her scheme was utterly useless.

Katie felt humiliated, but she was still determined. The more a man was unsympathetic toward her, the more she wanted him. She didn't care if he had a wife, taking someone else's husband only made it more exciting and challenging.

"Sir, I..." But before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt fearful, there was a cold coming from Joshua that she could not explain.

She wondered who he was and why he could give off such an overwhelming force?

Joshua's eyes were becoming colder as he took out his mobile phone and calmly dialed a number.

"Come get Number 25 out of my sight!"

Katie looked around in a panic, she was trying to figure out who he had been calling. What authority did he have to remove her?

When she saw security walking in her directions, she froze. The man's ruthlessness was beyond her imagination. He had actually followed through with his threats. She knew if she was forced to leave, she would be utterly embarrassed.

Hazel smiled and watched the situation folding in front of her. Seeing that Katie was not moving, she leaned over and reminded her kindly, "Miss Shawn, I think you should leave. If you take the initiative to leave, wouldn't it be more civilized than being removed by security?"

Her words sounded almost confrontational in Katie's head. She stood up, but she stared at Hazel with resentment and anger.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Katie's mind. Without any hesitation, she shouted and then fell into Joshua as if she had lost her balance. However, Joshua was quick to see what she was planning, with a cold glare in his eyes, he stretched out his leg.

Joshua was strong, and the expression on Katie's face changed as she fell in front of Hazel and not into Joshua's arms as she had planned. Katie hit the ground with a loud thud, she fell in a compromising pose, and the entire room turned to look.

Everyone was silent as they waited for someone to say something. The people that were near Joshua had noticed the intensity of the conversation, but they had not taken it seriously, nor did they expect that it would evolve any further than heated words.

Through the silence, someone began to giggle and then someone else until soon everyone was laughing. Although they were not purposely malicious, Katie felt even more embarrassed. She stood up, gave Hazel a threatening look, covered her face, and ran out of the room.

"Okay," Joshua said, looking at his watch. He whispered in Hazel's ear. "I should really go now."

It was time that they got back to their original plan. Joshua was supposed to accompany Hazel to the auction and then find an excuse to leave. They planned everything so that Sunny would not be suspicious.

"Okay," Hazel whispered.

Joshua pretended to answer a phone call and then told Hazel that he had to leave.

"Why did Joshua leave so suddenly?" Sunny, who hadn't said a word to either Hazel or Joshua, finally opened her mouth to ask.

"Something urgent happened at work, and they need him to deal with it," Hazel explained.

"You didn't go with him?" Sunny seemed very curious.

"I want to stay for the rest of the auction," Hazel smiled lightly. "After all, it is so fun, and I haven't been to one before."

When the auction was over, Sunny and Hazel walked out of the room together. Although they were alienated, on the surface, Sunny still seemed to be very concerned about Hazel.

"Are you going directly home?" Sunny asked with a smile.

"Probably, I have nothing else to do." Hazel smiled lightly. "What about you?"

"I am going to meet a few ladies, and we are going to the spa together." Sunny explained.

They said goodbye, and Sunny watched as Hazel got into a red sports car. It was guarded by two other cars and headed in the direction of Denmark Residence.

About two blocks away, a car suddenly pulled out and hit Hazel's car. More cars pulled out from side streets and blocked the three cars. A large group of men walked toward Hazel's car, they took her out and put a sack over her head.

She was forced into the back seat of one of the cars and drove to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Fred and Mandy were waiting when they arrived, she watched as they pulled in with Hazel in the backseat. Mandy's eyes had nothing but hate in them.

"Hazel, you are such a dumb bitch! You finally fell into my hands!" Mandy kicked her a few times.

Mandy didn't know what else to do, so she kicked her with more force. "Hey, bitch! Hey bitch! You like to take away my things, don't you?! You take and take and take! I promise you that you will suffer for it today!"

"Mandy, don't get too excited." Fred said, "And, we need to remember since we finally have her, we need to make sure we don't let her get away!"

"Yes!" Mandy said angrily. "Take off the sack!"

The kidnappers quickly untied the rope around Hazel's neck and took the sack off her head.

Everyone jumped back in shock.

"What happened?! Who is this?" Mandy asked frantically. The person under the sack was not Hazel, it was a man with the same body shape.

Mandy's face became twisted with anger as she glared at him. She was sure she had planned it all perfectly. She had just wanted to humiliate Hazel and make her suffer as she had. The person they have taken wasn't Hazel, it was some man. She couldn't figure out where it had gone wrong.

Fred appeared to be much calmer than Mandy. After staring blankly, he suddenly had a realization. "Mandy, let's go! This is a trap!" he screamed.
