Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Grant sensed the abnormality in his body. As Isidora kept throwing herself into his arms, his remaining consciousness told him she had likely drugged him.

With a violent push, he shoved Isidora away from his embrace. His massive hands then clamped around her neck like iron pincers, the veins on his arms bulging with barely restrained violence.

"Isidora, you make me sick. How dare you drug me?"

Grant's grip tightened, making Isidora's face turn red. She coughed violently but didn't try to escape. Instead, she quietly reached out and touched Grant's body.

"Grantie, you've had too much to drink. How could I drug you? Look at you, always saying you hate me, but I think you really like me."

"Grantie..."

Under Isidora's step-by-step seduction and the effects of the drug, Grant's self-control crumbled. His body burned with desire, made unbearable by Isidora's calculated caresses. Her hands roamed freely over his heated skin, each touch sparking wildfire across his nerves. The last shreds of Grant's resistance dissolved as her lips trailed along his neck, her breath hot against his ear.

Consumed by primal need, he surrendered completely to the raging fire between them.

But his remaining consciousness told him that no matter what, he couldn't have sex with a woman like Isidora.

He released his grip on her neck, stood up angrily, and headed for the bar's exit. Isidora saw Grant's steps were unsteady and quickly caught up to him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind.

The bar was crowded, and many eyes were already on Grant and Isidora.

Isidora whispered softly, "Grantie, I love you. Please don't leave me. Back in college, we were so in love. You wrote to me saying I was the woman you wanted to marry."

"Grantie, make love to me. I promise I'll be good to you."

But Isidora refused to let this opportunity slip away. The moment Grant tried to push her away, she lunged forward, crashing her lips against his.

The drug coursing through Grant's veins blurred his senses-his vision swam as he stared at the face now inches from his own. Through the haze, his clouded mind superimposed Chloe's delicate features over Isidora's flushed face.

"Chloe, my baby..." he breathed hoarsely, his resistance crumbling as his fingers tangled in Isidora's hair, pulling her closer in his drugged confusion

Isidora played along, "Yes, I'm your baby, Grantie... Hold me..."

Grant's face showed a hint of joy. He reached out and pulled Isidora into his arms. They got closer, almost ready to kiss.

At that precise moment, a lean figure burst through the bar crowd. "Fuck!" he barked, charging toward Grant and Isidora with single-minded intensity. Before either could react, the newcomer wedged himself between them, his hands shooting out to shove them apart with startling force. The sudden motion sent Isidora stumbling back a step, her lips still parted mid-protest.

"Grant? How much have you had to drink?"

The man was Harry, who ran a renewable energy company. Tonight, his employees had organized a small gathering, and he had joined them. After a couple of drinks, he saw Grant about to kiss Isidora.

Harry had been fully immersed in building his company, but he hadn't ignored the whispers online. When he saw how Isidora was obsessively clinging to Grant, alarm bells rang.

Grant was supposed to be dating Chloe-so why was he now locking lips with Isidora?

Chloe had been the sole investor bold enough to fund Harry's high-risk green energy venture when no one else believed in it. He owed her. And if Grant was playing Chloe for a fool, Harry would make sure the truth came out no matter the cost.

Harry disrupted Isidora's plans. As a regular at the bar, Harry immediately recognized that Grant was being manipulated by Isidora.

Grant's face turned redder.

Harry tried to control his body.

"Who are you? Let go of Grantie." Isidora saw her chance slipping away and tried to pull Grant away.

Harry wasn't about to indulge her. He pushed her hard, sending her flying.

His expression turned cold as he asked, "Did you drug Grant?"

Isidora quickly denied, "No, Grantie and I are in love. We couldn't help ourselves..."

But Harry scoffed at her shamelessness. "Fuck, don't lie. I know what kind of person Grant is. Stay away from him. If you touch him again, I'll kill you."

Harry's face showed his anger. He called his colleagues to take care of Grant. Moments later, Chloe arrived at the bar.

Seeing Chloe, Isidora knew she wouldn't get Grant tonight.

Isidora knew her meticulously crafted plan was crumbling. She'd gone to desperate lengths-even drugging Grant to exploit his impaired state and coerce him into bed. Every calculated step had been scripted: how she'd weaponize this "accident" to force him to abandon Chloe and choose her. But the moment Chloe stepped into the bar, every carefully laid scheme turned to ash.

Isidora felt frustrated but knew she couldn't take Grant from Harry and Chloe.

'I can't stay here any longer,' Isidora told herself silently. She knew lingering would not only fail to salvage the situation but might even hand Chloe the leverage to expose her.

The moment Harry and Chloe began guiding the unsteady Grant toward the exit, Isidora seized her chance. Silent and swift as a shadow, she slipped away like a cat vanishing into the night.

With Harry's help, Grant was taken to a nearby upscale hotel within ten minutes. Chloe booked a suite, and they helped Grant inside.

Harry told Chloe, "Grant's been drugged and drank a lot. He'll be out of it for a while. Leaving him with you, I can rest easy. I'll head out."

Harry glanced at Grant's deep red face, gave Chloe some instructions, and prepared to leave.

When Chloe walked him to the door, Harry suddenly turned back. With a mischievous smirk, he teased, "Hope you two have a wonderful night..."

Harry's teasing made Chloe blush.

She pushed him out, and as soon as the door closed, Grant lunged at her, kissing her like a starving wolf.noveldrama
