“You b*stards! Let go of her!”Garrison was now maddened with anxiety. His Adam’s apple trembled while his eyes were as red as flames from rage. “I swear if you touch her, I’ll make your life a living he— Ugh!”A large hand firmly clamped over his mouth.Rip!Another sound of ripped fabric echoed.Sotiria struggled profusely, but the man was too strong. Her hands and legs were both restrained to the ground. She couldn’t move at all. All she could do was watch the man as he lowered his head and moved his fat, oily lips closer and closer toward her mouth!The breath from the man’s nostrils smelled as rank as a toilet. She felt her stomach churn and nearly puked.“Go away! Don’t touch me! Go away… Go away!” Sotiria panicked, and tears streamed down her face.‘No! I don’t wanna be kissed by this ugly man!’Garrison had been pursuing her for more than four years, and she hadn’t even allowed him to touch her lips because she could not remember anything before her car accident. A
“Garrison!”Sotiria scrambled to her feet and rushed to save Garrison.She had just taken a step forward when a large hand grabbed hers.“He’ll live.”Sotiria looked toward the river and saw that Garrison, who was pretty good at swimming, had swum to the shore and vigorously climbed up. She relaxed.It was at that moment she realized that Zachary was holding her hand. She blushed immediately.“Mr. Connor, you’ve saved Garrison and me. Thank you.”She nervously pulled her hand from his grip and felt as if the part of her skin which he had touched was on fire. It burned and made her feel strangely reckless and hot…Zachary’s chiseled face was cold yet perfect. However, it was as if his face were frozen in place. There were no signs of emotion. “So, how do you plan on thanking me?”Sotiria was clearly surprised.“Uh… I’ve heard that you’re very wealthy, Mr. Connor. You have so much money that it exceeds the average man’s imagination. So… Hehe…”As regal as a king, Zachary stood
However, despite having regained her senses, Sotiria still did not move.She didn’t know what was wrong with her. It was obvious that she could push him away very easily. She could even lower her head easily and avoid his kiss… But she didn’t…His handsome, god-like face and his beautiful, dazzling eyes like ice crystals and his breath were all irresistible to her. She was filled with an urge to abandon everything and jump in, despite knowing that a deadly abyss lay ahead.She stayed obediently in his arms, as if she were spellbound, and continued lifting her face toward his. She was even tipping her toes, ever so slightly and voluntarily moving toward his lips.Their lips gradually moved closer and closer.It would seem that they were about to meet… Until a wet hand quickly reached out between them. Thus, Zachary’s lips ended up firmly kissing the back of that hand.Zachary was shocked.Sotiria was shocked too.Before she could return to her senses, Garrison had forcefully wed
“You haven’t answered me! Why did you do that?”Garrison’s voice rang aloud from behind him.Zachary turned around and saw that Garrison was now holding Sotiria’s hand. The sight of it felt particularly glaring to him. He snorted. “Have I not made myself clear enough? I like your fiancée, so I’m going to pursue her.”Garrison was thoroughly enraged. His throat quivered as he gnashed his teeth.“I’m warning you, stay away from Tiria. Don’t destroy someone else’s relationship like a low-down third party.”“Oh?”Garrison’s eyes suddenly darkened in a terrifying manner.“Speaking of low-down third parties, I think it’s pretty exciting to be one, once in a while. You should know how it feels better than I do. After all, you’ve tried it before.”Garrison clearly caught the hatred in Zachary’s eyes and connected it to Zachary’s words. He now understood that Zachary was doing this out of revenge for being “cheated on”.Zachary walked down the bridge and never turned back.Sotiria sta
‘Besides, Sotiria may have lost her memories, but she and Zachary were once so… If Zachary found out the truth… No!’The thought of it filled Garrison with increasing fear. At that moment, he silently made a decision—he would wait until he and Sotiria were married in Rothesay, then he’d take her and leave this city, never to return!“Mm.”Sotiria’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude.‘See! Garrison is so nice to me. Garrison is the only man who truly loves me. I must be good to him. Zachary may be lauded as the noblest figure in Rothesay, but he’s actually stooped to seducing someone else’s fiancee just to have his revenge on him… The noblest figure in Rothesay? He’s clearly a jerk! If Zachary ever tries to seduce me again, I’ll give him a kick, the kind that other perverts deserve, and force him into a retreat!’Lucas saw Zachary emerge from the mist from a distance and hurried over to greet him with a grin on his face. “So how were those five men I hired to put on that show for
“I know.” Zachary smirked.“Zachary, you believe me?”Garrison’s handsome face flashed with joy. He did not think that Zachary would believe so easily.“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t hate me anymore, and there’s no need to exact revenge on me. Stay away from Tiria from now on.”However, Zachary shook his head. “No.”“What?” Garrison looked confused.The disdain in Zachary’s icy pupils grew even clearer when he turned around to look at Garrison. “Because I’m seducing Sotiria at her suggestion. She invited me to put on a show, to deliberately cause a misunderstanding with you.”‘What?’Garrison froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.Zachary couldn’t be bothered to look at him any longer. He picked up his long legs and walked forward.‘Heh… Garrison, what a joke!’That year Garrison had senselessly seduced his wife. Now, realizing that he had arrived to take revenge, Garrison was afraid and had actually come up with such a clumsy lie to deceive him!If Ga
She was clearly stunned. “What is the meaning of this, Mr. Connor?”“A display of my love…”The regal and perfect Zachary lowered his icy gaze ever so slightly. He gently curled the corners of his lips. He was so handsome that it was stunning and enticing.“I’ve said it before, I like you. I fell in love with you at first sight. This bouquet of roses represents my love for you. Take it, and you’ll be my lover from now on.”The tips of Sotiria’s fingers trembled.Not too long ago, Garrison had informed her of Zachary’s intentions on Rainbow Bridges. Now she had a perfectly good idea of his objectives in seducing her.‘But…’She knew that Zachary had no feelings for her and certainly hadn’t fallen in love with her at first sight. Yet why did she still feel as if she had been bewitched when she heard him make that hypocritical proclamation and saw that bouquet of charming fresh roses and his handsome face, which looked a thousand times more attractive than that bouquet? She felt a
Her heart stopped beating for a second, and in an instant, it began galloping wildly and threatening to jump from her chest.“Ngh…”Panicked, she tried to push him away. However, his arms were as strong as steel, trapping her tightly in his embrace so she couldn’t move at all.Even though Zachary was cold and taciturn, no woman could resist his charm. Initially, she was still struggling, but as he slowly deepened the kiss, she seemed to be pulled into a bottomless whirlpool. She felt that everything in reality did not matter anymore as she was enveloped in his breath…She closed her eyes.Like a person intoxicated by a beautiful dream, not only did she stop struggling, but she also hoped that the dream would continue. She couldn’t see that, at that moment, a hint of strange light flashed across Zachary’s pair of beautiful, bright eyes.There was only one reason why he’d forcibly kissed her.He wanted her to fall deeply for her.Initially, he had intended to only give her a li
