Tommy brushed away the loose strands of sweat-dampened hair by Angeline's forehead. His tone was lecherous as he said, "I want you to see how slutty you look when you're begging me to fuck you."Angeline clenched her jaw, remaining silent. She secretly unlocked her phone and called 911, forcing herself to remember the way to the room she'd reserved half an hour earlier. After exiting the elevator, she had to make her way to room 5716.When the elevator arrived and the doors slid open, she shoved Tommy aside and darted out of the elevator. She staggered in the direction of room 5716.Tommy snickered. He tucked his hands in his pockets as he strolled out of the elevator. He had a disgusting look in his eyes as he watched Angeline "helplessly" flee while keeping a hand on the wall to support herself. He was like a cat watching a mouse trying to escape from its claws."The faster you run now, Angeline, the harder you'll be begging me to fuck you later. I'm in no rush; go ahead and run!
Then, the drug took over Angeline. She dropped her phone and pinched her thigh as hard as she could to force herself to stay lucid. Still, the pain was no match for the desire that blazed through her. She clenched her jaw and moaned."You still owe me a wish. This is my final one—allow someone to take you home."Ned's words continued to reverberate in her murky mind. She was drenched in sweat as she held herself. She didn't know whether her physical or emotional discomfort was getting to her, but the tears wouldn't stop coming.She was burning up. Molten lava was coursing through her veins.Cold water! Yes, that was what she needed. Before meeting with Ned, she'd asked the hotel to prepare a few buckets of ice for her. She'd also asked them to draw her a cold bath.This was just like the last time. All she had to do was wait it out. Angeline forced herself to clamber to her feet before stumbling into the bathroom and into the ice-filled tub.Outside the door, Sean heard the sound
To Sean's surprise, Angeline turned her head to kiss his fingers. She wrapped her cold hands around his arm.The veins bulged in Sean's hands. Electricity shot from the tip of his thumb, numbing his right hand before going to the rest of his body. His gaze was dark as he pulled his hand away, pinning Angeline down to the bed again. "Angeline!"She opened her eyes, looking dazed. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, flashing neon lights illuminated his face. His tall nose and thin lips were inches away from her face. When she recognized him, she murmured, "M-Mr. Lawson, I feel horrible …""Don't be scared. I'll take you to the hospital." Sean tugged his tie out of Angeline's grip, then used it to tie her hands together before wrapping the blanket around her.The lust and emptiness coursing through Angeline's veins only grew stronger as she felt Sean's arms wrap around her; his scent enveloped her. She bit her lip and moaned, curling into a ball as her breathing grew heavy.She gra
Angeline was awakened by the sound of water running in the bathroom.The blackout curtains in the hotel obscured the light, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was day or night.Feeling a splitting headache, she instinctively wanted to press her temples, but her arms were so sore that she couldn't lift them.Not just her arms, but her whole body ached terribly, especially near her pubic area.Sean!A thunderous explosion echoed in her mind.She sat up abruptly. Her blood turned cold.Clutching the duvet tightly against her chest, Angeline gazed at the down jacket that was still damp on the floor. Other than the down jacket, a shirt, trousers, sweater, and her jeans were scattered on the floor. The scenes from the night before played in her mind like a movie.She wondered what she had done.Angeline's face was drained of color.Sean was the adoptive son of the Lawson family, her biological mother's brother in name.She didn't want anything to do with the Lawson fam
If this matter were to be known, both Sean and Angeline would have to bear the stigma of incest.How could Sean carry on with his life and establish himself in the business world?Angeline had always known that he wanted to leave the Lawson family and have them accept her. Hence, he might use last night's incident to publicly reveal that she was actually the biological daughter of the Lawson family's sole daughter.That would be a disaster for her mother, Jessica.She couldn't let that happen. Since she was the one who was drugged and had begged Sean to sleep with her, it was only right for her to clean up the mess."Okay." Sean's eyes darkened as he calmly turned around to pick up his watch from the bedside table and put it on."Do you feel any discomfort? I'll have Taylor take you to the hospital for a check-up." His voice was deep and calm.Angeline looked up at Sean, unable to hide her astonishment.She thought Sean would take this opportunity to analyze the pros and cons f
Angeline thanked Taylor as she got into the car.She borrowed a charging cable from him and finally got her phone charged.Upon turning it on, she saw over 60 missed calls. Except for two missed calls from Anne, the others were from the same number.It was Ned.Angeline tightly gripped her phone and wondered about Ned's intention for making multiple calls.Was it because he had found out she hadn't slept with the man in the room he had arranged for her? Or because he had found out she wasn't with Zachary?Whatever the reason was, it couldn't be out of concern.Angeline smiled self-mockingly and dialed Anne's number."Angie!" Anne sounded excited when she answered the call, but she still spoke in a hushed tone."Angie, the police said everything's cleared up, and Ms. Dalton said there's no need for any compensation. I've been released. I'm at the hotel arranged by the production team now.""Which hotel are you at? I'll come over now," Angeline said.Feeling anxious that the E
"Tommy got what he deserved. He won't have the chance to harass you anymore," Taylor said as he opened the gate to the villa for Angeline."Thank you," she replied. She knew that it was Sean's way of not involving her and warning Tommy.No wonder Ned had called her. He was probably trying to hold her accountable.…Outside the shabby area, a sleek, black sports car stood out.Ned sat in the car with furrowed brows as he realized Angeline had blocked his number when he heard the busy signal on his phone.Annoyed, he tossed the phone aside and lit a cigarette.On the passenger seat lay the scarf Angeline had left in the car the night before.Ned only found out the drugs Tommy had given him weren't actually truth serum after Tommy was brought to the private room by Sean's bodyguards.Tommy had lied to him out of fear that he might relent.Ned had forced Angeline to take those drugs and insisted she wait for Zachary to come and pick her up.Angeline swore that even if she were t
Angeline intentionally recorded the conversation. After controlling her emotions, she calmly spoke."You're truly shameless to say such things. My mom originally had a happy family, but you people abducted her to Emmerson Village. You didn't give her clothes, fed her only once a day, chained her up in the cellar, and beat and scolded her because you were afraid she would run away."You had even broken her leg. Do you take this as treating her well? She was brought to your house at the age of 16 and started having children after that. You people would abandon the baby if she gave birth to a girl."After taking a deep breath, Angeline continued, "She gave birth to eight children in 11 years and died alongside the ninth child on the operating table. Is this what you mean by treating her well? Would you say the same if you were treated this way?"Infuriated by her words, Juliet reflexively attempted to crush her with the most vulgar words possible."Y-You filthy slut! As a woman, you'
