The Red-Haired Lover

After the death of her parents, nine-year-old Maria met the mysterious seventeen-year-old Sarkon Ritchie who claimed to be her father’s friend and wanted to take her under his wing to care for her. As she got older, she realized that Sarkon comes from a world entirely different from hers: a world of the plutocrats, the most powerful and wealthy people of Lenmont’s high society - and Maria’s life had taken an extraordinary turn… Despite Sarkon’s insistence on being Maria’s guardian, who swore to protect her in place of her father, Maria fell in love with that striking blue gaze and beastly charm. But what does it mean to love the second most powerful person of Lenmont’s high society? Will he ever love her back? Or will Maria be just another pawn of a power struggle? The Red-Haired Lover is created by Elle Gobe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Chapter 153: Maria Cannot Stop Wanting Sarkon

‘I'm just going to get a glass of water.’

Maria absently looked over her shoulder as if there was someone she could see to give her comforting assurance.

But all she saw was a glass of water on her vanity table. Sophie had left it there for her in case she got thirsty in the middle of the night.

The red-haired beauty halted in front of the door with her hand on the doorknob and pondered. What else did she need?

Those emerald eyes lifted with the brilliance of an idea that sprang in her head. She needed two glasses of water. One wouldn’t be enough. She had two to feed now, didn’t she?

Satisfied with the plausible reason, she flashed a gleeful smile, turned the doorknob, and stepped out.

The corridor was dimly lit and empty, as it would be after midnight.

Maria took cautious, quiet steps across the carpeted floor toward the stairs. She had a strong feeling that Sarkon would be in his study. She didn’t know why.
