My Domineering Husband

In the dimly lit room, no light could pass through.

On the king-sized bed in the hotel room, the man was like a long-dormant beast, devouring the delicious prey before him without any regard for whether the woman beneath him was a virgin or not.

Kristine Bentley couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

The sound of a ringing phone woke Kristine up. She hung up the call and checked the time. It was already ten in the morning!

It was Kristine's engagement party today.

And her fiancé, who had long been having an affair with her best friend, had cheated on her countless times. He even deliberately called Kristine last night and let her witness their passionate sex.

In a fit of anger, Kristine also went to a club and met a handsome young man, indulging herself in a night of passion.

Attempting to get up from the bed, Kristine gasped in pain as she moved. It was such a crazy night last night. Kristine felt like her bones were falling apart now.

She had to rush to the wedding scene, or else the Bentley family would kill her!

Just as Kristine finished dressing and was about to run away, her wrist was grabbed, and the man on the bed opened his eyes without her noticing.

"Are you leaving just like that?" The man's voice was deep and husky.

His eyes were sharp like an eagle, and his features seemed to be carefully crafted by God. Upon a closer look, there was a slight resemblance between the man and her fiancé.

Kristine's lips curled as she pretended not to know the man. She took out her wallet, pulled out all the money inside, and placed it on the nearby bedside table.

"Sir, you were amazing last night. It's a pity I'm in a hurry to get engaged now. Don't worry. I'll find you next time!"

Though insulted, Trenton Grant just gave a cold smile, without much anger.

He made a phone call and soon his secretary, Randy Garrison, brought the clothes over.

After showering, Trenton put on the suit, appearing noble and cold. His deep eyes carried no warmth.

Before leaving, Trenton also picked up the stack of banknotes and put them in his bag.

"Mr. Grant, your nephew's engagement party with the Bentley family is about to start. Are you going there now?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Fischer and others asked why you stood them up last night."

Trenton remained silent, seemingly contemplating something.

Having just arrived in Adriland, Trenton went to a club with friends he hadn't seen in years. Along the way, he was unexpectedly embraced by a drunken young woman, and they indulged in a wild night together.

Trenton had always had strong self-control and the woman was average-looking, but it seemed that he had become addicted last night, savoring every moment.

There seemed to be a unique fragrance on the woman that could make him relax and even be somewhat unforgettable.

For Trenton, who had sleep disorders, it was a rare good night's sleep last night.

...

Kristine hailed a taxi on the roadside and gave the hotel's name to the taxi driver.

By the time she reached the engagement venue, it was almost 11 o'clock and many people had already arrived at the banquet hall.

Kristine stepped into the dressing room. Before she could see everything clearly, she was almost slapped in the face, but Kristine grabbed the person's wrist.

"I'm getting engaged later. Are you sure I can put on makeup with my swollen face?" Kristine coldly looked at the man who wanted to lay hands on her.

It was her father, Ryan Bentley.

Ryan was angry for not being able to slap her, and now he cursed.

"You didn't even answer my call. How dare you! Fortunately, you came back. If anything goes wrong with the engagement today, I won't spare you!"

The biggest aristocratic family in Adriland was the Grant family, with countless assets. Not to mention that the Grant family also had a son in Larelle. Trenton was a prominent figure in the world.

If it weren't for the good relationship between the two families, Kristine wouldn't have had the opportunity to marry into the Grant family!

It was said that Trenton was also coming to this engagement party today. Both families had long prepared, and the engagement party was about to start. Yet, neither the groom nor the bride showed up.

Kristine looked coldly at Ryan and asked, "Has Aden arrived yet?"

Aden Grant was her fiancé.

Ryan hesitated for a moment. Indeed, Aden had not arrived yet, but the Grant family had already gone to look for him. Aden's phone was off, so it was likely that he was trying to escape the engagement.

Kristine sneered, "Aden isn't here. Am I supposed to get engaged alone?"

Ryan's face darkened. "The Grant family is looking for him. Go change your clothes and put on makeup!"

The makeup artist hurriedly tried to pull Kristine to do her makeup. Kristine also knew she couldn't refuse this marriage. She said to the makeup artist, "I'll do it myself."

Kristine's mother had told her when she was young that being too beautiful could bring trouble, so from a young age, Kristine disguised herself with ordinary makeup.

If the makeup artist put on makeup for Kristine, she might uncover the secret on Kristine's face.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. "Hurry up. Trenton is here."

Upon hearing that name, Ryan quickly pulled Kristine out with him. "Trenton is here. Behave yourself!"

Of course, Kristine heard about Trenton, the illegitimate child who was expelled from the Grant family back then.

But now, that illegitimate child had become a high-profile figure in Adriland, far beyond the reach of the Grant family.

Kristine followed Ryan outside and saw a group of people surrounding a man over there.

With a height close to 6 feet 3 inches, Trenton stood out in the crowd. Yet, his handsome features were tainted with a trace of coldness and impatience.

Kristine didn't join the crowd as she stood at a distance, looking at that familiar face.

After all, they had sex just last night. How could she forget him so quickly?

The way his sweat slid down his face, along his cheekbones, to his chest and abdominal muscles, fierce and forceful, was way different from now. Trenton was now dressed in a suit, with meticulously groomed hair, cold and restrained, like an unattainable emperor.

In particular, the black bracelet on the wrist added a sense of aloofness to Trenton.

When Kristine saw Trenton, there was no surprise in her eyes. After all, she had planned for it.

Perhaps sensing Kristine's gaze, Trenton frowned and looked in her direction.

Their eyes met briefly for a second. Trenton's gaze was too sharp, as if he wanted to see through her.

Unable to bear it, Kristine directly hid in the crowd.

"Trenton, it's been a long time since we last met. You must stay in Adriland for a while this time," The current head of the Grant family said politely. He was also Kristine's future father-in-law.

Trenton just coldly nodded and was then taken to the VIP room.

The Bentley family couldn't wait to make their presence felt, and Ryan followed behind them.

"When will the engagement begin?" Trenton glanced at his wristwatch.

To put it bluntly, the price of this watch could buy two houses in the downtown area of Adriland.

Larry Grant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer."

"What are we waiting for?"

Trenton's words were concise but heavy, like small hammers pounding on the heart.

Larry had already sent many people to look for Aden, but they couldn't find him. It was almost twelve o'clock now, and the groom still hadn't arrived.

"Wait for Aden." A clear and bright female voice came. "He didn't want to marry me, so he ran away from the engagement."

Trenton looked at Kristine in the crowd. Her face couldn't be described as beautiful. It was merely an ordinary face.

However, when Kristine spoke, she exuded a kind of presence that was hard to ignore.

In fact, even though this engagement had been arranged since childhood, it was personally decided by Trenton.

If Aden ran away from the engagement, wasn't that like slapping Trenton in the face?

Larry quickly explained, "No, it's not that. Aden just had something urgent to attend to and will be here soon."

Kristine coldly said, "You still haven't found him, right? I can give you an address."

With that, Kristine mentioned the name of an apartment, which was her best friend's address.

Larry immediately darkened his face. He quickly ordered someone to bring Aden back. In no time, Aden, who looked exhausted after sex, appeared before everyone.

"You bastard! Hurry up and change your clothes. Let's continue with the engagement party!"

"Dad, I told you I won't marry Kristine. She's so ugly that just looking at her disgusts me. If my friends find out that I've married such an ugly woman, they will definitely laugh at me. How can I hold my head up in front of them?"

Aden looked at Kristine with disgust. He hated Kristine for constantly pestering him.

"Take Aden to change his clothes. The engagement today must go on, whether you like it or not!"

No matter how Aden protested, he couldn't influence Larry's decision.

Kristine was also forced to change her clothes. In the dressing room, when Kristine was pulling the zipper of her wedding dress, it seemed to get stuck. No matter how hard she pulled, it didn't work.

At that moment, the door opened. Without seeing who entered, Kristine leaned over and casually brushed her hair aside, revealing her fair neck.

"Can you help me pull it up?"

A big hand was placed on her back, and with a tug, the stuck zipper was pulled up.

"Thank you." Kristine expressed her thanks while turning around, and upon seeing Trenton's handsome face, she was clearly filled with panic.

Trenton, dressed in a suit, should have been surrounded by a group of flattering people, so how did he manage to sneak up on her without anyone noticing?

"How did you get in?"

"What do you think?"

Trenton approached, exuding a powerful aura that suffocated those around him.

He reached out and directly grabbed Kristine's throat. "You have some nerve, daring to scheme against me!"

Kristine's neck was slender, and with just a little more force, it seemed her life would be ended in his hands.

Last night, Trenton didn't hold back at all, leaving several hickeys on Kristine's neck, which she covered up with thick makeup.

"Mr. Grant, you must be joking. I only knew that you were Aden's uncle just now," Kristine responded calmly, her gaze fixated on Trenton.

Her face was ordinary, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"People who lie in front of me will meet a miserable end!" Trenton exerted more force in his hand.

Kristine felt she was out of breath. Trenton was truly a heartless man.

Although it was her plan last night, Kristine wouldn't admit it now. She said, "If Aden can fool around outside, why must I remain virtuous for him? Today, he just slept with another woman, and I don't even know how many times he has cheated on me."

The slightly aggrieved tone made Trenton loosen his grip slightly.

It was not a secret that Aden was fooling around outside. He was such a playboy. Trenton also knew that it was Kristine's first sex last night.

"I don't care what you think, but your engagement with Aden cannot be canceled."

Kristine blinked her eyes and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Mr. Grant, so you also know that it's impossible to cancel my engagement with your nephew. Then why are you here without others knowing? Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

Logically speaking, Kristine and Trenton should not know each other, but the fact that they were alone in a room before the engagement party would make others misunderstand.

Without looking into Kristine's eyes, Trenton warned coldly, "I hope you are smart enough to know what to say and what not to say. Otherwise..."

Trenton didn't finish his sentence, but his intention to kill was already evident.

"Just moments ago, it was our first meeting with each other, wasn't it? Mr. Grant, I don't understand what you mean." Kristine tilted her head, but she clarified her position in a smart way. She wouldn't let the cat out of the bag.

Trenton snorted coldly, "As long as you know what to do."

Releasing his grip on Kristine's neck, Trenton took large strides towards the door, preparing to leave.

Before his hand even touched the doorknob, a voice came from outside, "Kristine, are you inside?"

"I have something to tell you. I'm coming in." The person outside had no intentions of leaving.

If the door were to be opened at this moment, one would definitely see her and Trenton inside.
