The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 350

Stanley gazed down at the woman in his arms, the corners of his narrow eyes lifting slightly. “We lived under one roof before. I think that justifies me calling you my sister.”

The shamelessness!

Wendy raised her foot to kick him.

In one smooth motion, Stanley flipped her beneath him. “Care for round two?”

The fire dancing in his eyes told her he wasn’t joking. The man’s stamina was downright

terrifying.

“Wendy,” he murmured, trailing a finger down her cheek. “We’ve never made love in the

morning.”

Heat exploded across Wendy’s delicate face. This lunatic!

She shoved him off with all her strength and scrambled out of bed.

Stanley merely smirked, watching her retreat.

Stanley and Wendy went to check on Benny. After examining his leg injury, Wendy nodded approvingly at the positive progress. He had made it through the critical night.

“You’ll keep this leg,” she announced.

Benny glared at her. “Well, don’t expect any thanks.”

“Hah, as if your gratitude would make me immortal.”

Benny was rendered speechless.

Stanley observed their exchange silently. Though they bickered, he sensed something had shifted in Benny’s attitude toward Wendy.

“Stanley, let’s get out of here,” Benny grumbled.

Nodding, Stanley said, “I need to see the village chief first.”

He turned to leave without another word.

“Why are you meeting the chief?” Benny called after him.

Watching Stanley’s retreating figure, Wendy spat, “Maybe he’s going to bring back another lover. Jessica might have some competition.”

Hearing Jessica’s name, Benny fell silent, his gaze darkening.

When Stanley arrived at the chief’s house, Fiona rushed out eagerly. “Stan! Come in! My dad and my brother, Alec, are waiting to meet you!”

Inside, a lavish spread covered the table in Stanley’s honor. The chief’s eyes had lit up when Fiona mentioned Stanley owned a company.

The chief and Alec sat together. Alec had no memory of last night’s events, though his body ached inexplicably.

Rubbing his neck, Alec groaned, “Dad, I feel like I got beaten up last night. And I keep thinking I saw some stunning woman…

“Don’t worry, Alec,” the chief assured him. “I’ll find you a stunning wife and secure a wealthy husband for Fiona.”

“Dad,” Fiona interrupted, “Stan’s here!”

Both men stood abruptly. Their eyes gleamed brighter at the sight of Stanley’s aristocratic bearing–some people simply radiated wealth and power, and Stanley was the perfect

example.

The chief stepped forward eagerly. “You must be Mr. Hawk! What an honor!” He extended

his hand.

Stanley didn’t move.
