Chapter 58 Unexpected Desire

Emily’s body trembled with nerves, and Charles’s imposing presence only intensified the feeling. She had no idea what to do. Walking away would have been the simplest choice, but her earlier boldness had led her straight into trouble. Now, she had no option but to face the consequences.
‘A kissing practice? seriously? Was this something I was supposed to be grateful for?’ The thought of being taught by Charles, the superstar adored by countless fans, should have been thrilling. Many would give anything for this moment, yet all she wanted was to escape. If she had been like his adoring followers, she might have welcomed the opportunity. If this had been a different time, back when she had been utterly captivated by the man who now stood before her, maybe she would have felt like the luckiest woman in the world. But nothing about this felt right.
Charles had trapped her in a contract to marry his brother Warren, and she had let herself fall for his charm. Now, she was paying the price. This wasn’t about love or romance; it was about transformation. He wanted to mold her into the ideal woman for his brother, perfect in every way—including the art of kissing.
