Chapter 455: Eric knew. He knew exactly. But why shouldn't he? He had almost died for her.

It was sheer luck that he was standing here now. Yesterday, he could have been gone.

And if he wanted her this much-if he was willing to risk his very life for her-then why shouldn't he just take what he wanted? Eric straightened, his fingers moving to his collar. Slowly, methodically, he began unbuttoning his shirt.

"What... what are you doing?" Hadley's eyes widened in shock as Eric began to unbutton his shirt, exposing his well-defined chest. Next, he loosened his belt, letting it slip free, causing his trousers to sag at his hips.

Eric paused, his back still turned toward her.

Did she really want to hold onto Denver that badly? Sadly for her, he now had every intention to take what he wanted.

With determination etched on his face, Eric walked over to the door, unlocked it, and pulled it open.

He offered a slight smile. "Sorry, who's there?"

Wilma and Denver were visibly stunned, not expecting Bric to be the Eexpecting one greeting them. "Eric?"

Eric rested against the doorframe, his expression relaxed and slightly m mocking "Ah, Denver...Mrs. Moran, what brings you here? Cto visit me?"

He paused, a look of feigned realization crossing his face. Hold e op, this isn't even my room..."
