Chapter 4: Pretending? Pretending to be what?

Richard Harris shook his head, dismissing any suspicion that Roxana Nelson preferred staying in a rented room for other purposes rather than going to a hotel.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at Sunshine Fruity, and Roxana Nelson glanced at the cluster of high-rise buildings outside the car and asked, "Mr. Harris, which unit number is your place?"

"Number ten!"

Yes, that's right. Roxana Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving home.

She smiled at the shabby five-story hostel and said, "Mr. Harris, please come up for a cup of tea."

"Do you like tea?" Richard Harris was surprised.

"Yes, coffee is too strong, and it would keep me awake," Roxana Nelson replied.

Richard Harris didn't expect this girl to invite him into her place. He had been longing for a girl like her to appear in his life.

Roxana Nelson blushed and pretended to be clumsy, then obediently walked ahead to guide the way.

At the door, Roxana Nelson suddenly remembered that she didn't have the key! She was wearing Richard Harris's shirt, and the key was locked in Hannah's changing room.

Embarrassed, Roxana Nelson said to Richard Harris, "The key is in the changing room at your club."

Richard Harris looked at the simple door and asked, "Are you sure this is your place?"

Roxana Nelson nodded with a smile, "I'm sure."

"I have a solution!" Richard Harris pulled Roxana Nelson back a step and kicked the door. The door creaked and shook but remained standing.

Only now did Roxana Nelson react to his so-called solution: to break the door! Anyone could come up with that!

"My door!" Roxana Nelson felt a pang of sadness. She didn't need a locksmith; she needed a carpenter. "How am I going to fix this door?"

"It's alright, just minor damage. Whether this door is broken won't affect the security much." Richard Harris consoled her. He didn't show any embarrassment or remorse.

Roxana Nelson felt her small face covered in sweat. She now realized how inappropriate her actions were.

Aren't you going in? Richard Harris wondered why she was still waiting.

Pushing the shaky door, Roxana Nelson entered the bedroom and rummaged through the drawer at the desk, looking for a spare pair of glasses that she had prepared. Of course, it was identical to the one Hannah had taken.

The world suddenly became clear and bright as she put on the glasses.

Sitting on the small sofa, Richard Harris looked at her with a half-smile, amused by her actions.

Ah! He's handsome! Looking at his beautiful face, she could tell he was good-looking. He was tall and had a perfect physique. Now, she could see his bronze skin in the areas not covered by his shirt and couldn't help but think about the sweater she was wearing, which made her feel naughty and cute.

Roxana Nelson couldn't help but stare at Richard Harris's upper body for a while. He was no less impressive than the muscular models she had seen before. His entire body had no excess fat, and his smooth arms seemed uncontrollable.

Roxana Nelson's small face flushed with a burning sensation. It was getting too hot. She felt like one of those girls who drooled over handsome guys.

Richard Harris was surprised to see the glasses on her face and almost fell off the sofa. "Your glasses, what happened to them?"

Looking at him, she saw his lips slightly parted, revealing a set of white, smoke-free teeth, sharp and captivating; if she were to kiss those lips, it would be so gentle and pleasurable, with no smell of cigarettes. He was a clean man! She liked that!

She kept her eyes fixed on him, her mind wandering, imagining him as a charming man in his thirties, although, upon closer inspection, he was probably only 27 or 28.

She liked a man who loved her to be older than her. But if he was too much older, people said that men who lacked a wife would have a troubled life. Oh, why was she thinking such thoughts? It wasn't very comfortable! Her small face blushed at the thought. How could she have such ideas about a man she just met?

Richard Harris couldn't understand why Roxana Nelson would hide her beauty behind the glasses she was wearing. In his eyes, without seeing her beautiful face without glasses, nothing could make a girl with this type of eyewear attractive.

Just by seeing those glasses, he was already disgusted and lost all interest.

Richard Harris carefully evaluated Roxana Nelson's appearance. Even in his shirt, she still looked beautiful, her figure resembling a dress. Then he noticed her gorgeous, straight thighs, which made him think even more about her captivating gaze.

Trying to push away the intrusive thoughts in his head, Roxana Nelson looked deeply into Richard Harris' eyes as he stared at her legs, feeling her face blush under his intense, burning gaze.

For some reason, Roxana Nelson suddenly recalled something Hannah had said, "There are only two types of men, those who are lascivious and extremely lascivious." It seemed that Richard Harris belonged to the latter category.

His eyes were not looking at her legs with good intentions! But he was her lifesaver so that she couldn't get angry.

"Harris sir, I'm going to change clothes. Please wait a moment!" Roxana Nelson said.

Richard Harris only smiled and didn't answer. In his dark eyes, a mischievous spark appeared.

Roxana Nelson entered the bedroom and closed the door, quickly looking for a change of clothes. She changed Richard Harris' shirt as fast as she could.

At that moment, the bedroom door slammed shut. Roxana Nelson was so scared that she jumped up and loudly screamed!

Turning around, she saw Richard Harris standing by the door, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement, staring at her without a shred of clothing covering her body. Instinctively, she used her hand to protect herself, but his eyes shifted wickedly to her legs, and she immediately lowered her hand.

Richard Harris pondered for a moment and then looked at her from top to bottom. Roxana Nelson, in an urgent situation, grabbed his shirt. Her face was now redder than a monkey's bottom, and her voice trembled:

"Harris sir, what are you planning to do?"

"What?" Richard Harris raised an eyebrow and smirked. "I haven't even had a chance to ask you that question."

"What?" Roxana Nelson looked at him in confusion, not sure what he meant.

"Tonight, come with me," Richard Harris said lightly as if it were a matter of course.

"What?" Roxana Nelson thought there was something wrong with her ears.

Richard Harris didn't say anything else and slowly approached, pressing his eyes against her, causing the image of her innocent child-like appearance to disappear instantly. Her slightly curly hair fell in front of her chest, incredibly enticing! The girl before him was like a blooming flower of opium, full of allure! Only because of those oversized glasses was this beauty obscured, and he was determined to break those glasses with his own hands!

"Don't... don't... don't... don't... please!" Roxana Nelson anxiously pleaded, holding tightly onto Richard Harris' shirt, stepping back one step at a time. Backing away until her back touched the wall.

It's over now. His entire presence exuded a dangerous aura that made her feel like she was falling into a bottomless abyss. Could this be her unlucky day? Falling into a swimming pool and now losing herself completely?

In the small, narrow bedroom, Roxana Nelson's heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of her throat. Cold sweat dripped down her body.

Richard Harris glanced at the unsettled Roxana Nelson and smirked. "Are you still pretending?"

"What?" Roxana Nelson squinted her eyes, not understanding what he meant.

His devilish smile widened, and he slowly reached out his hand, which made Roxana Nelson tremble with fear. She moved backward, hitting the wall, unable to escape.

"You've been pretending all along, haven't you?" Richard Harris said, his voice filled with a magnetic force that made Roxana Nelson's mind spin.

Pretending? Pretending to be what?

Suddenly, the man in front of her grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, imprisoning her in his embrace. The distance between them instantly disappeared, and the scent of his body overwhelmed her senses.

"Richard Harris, what do you want?" Roxana Nelson's voice trembled.

Richard Harris didn't answer. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her passionately, stealing away her words and breath. In an instant, their worlds collided and merged into one.

The storm of desire was ignited, sweeping through their bodies and souls. Roxana Nelson's mind went blank, and she couldn't think straight. All she could feel was the burning touch of his lips and the overwhelming surge of emotions.

The room was filled with their entangled bodies and the sound of their passionate kisses. Time seemed to stand still as they indulged in each other's embrace, forgetting about the outside world.

Hannah stood silently Outside the room, with a complex expression as she watched the closed door. She sighed softly, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

He still had doubts about his charm and wondered where he was going when someone called him a scoundrel for the first time; on top of that, it was a girl. Anger surged within Richard Harris as he looked at the girl trapped in his embrace, his strength in one hand continuously increasing. "You wretched girl! If you're scared, then beg me!"

"Hmph!" The disdain in Roxana Nelson's eyes deepened, making it impossible for her to look at him.

Richard Harris felt a little annoyed, genuinely irritated by how this girl's gaze challenged him, making him feel embarrassed and even angrier. "Damn it! Damn it!"

Several curses escaped Richard Harris's thin lips, directly related to his handsome appearance.

His hand gripping Roxana Nelson's delicate chin grew numb, but she still refused to beg for mercy, her eyes filled with a hatred that seemed unable to kill him. Richard Harris took a deep breath, exerting even more force, causing Roxana Nelson's shirt to slip down onto their shoes due to the pain.

Aware that her entire body was no longer concealed, emotions of oppression and humiliation surged within Roxana Nelson, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. The glistening tears fell onto Richard Harris's large hand, which tightly held her chin, the hot tears almost scalding his hand. Upon seeing her tears, he realized he had lost control of his emotions despite what had just happened. This girl caused him to lose control!

His hand released her chin and gently caressed her soft, young shoulder.

Roxana Nelson inhaled a gulp of cold air!

Wherever Richard Harris's hand went, it seemed to bring along an electric current that made her numb momentarily!

But Roxana Nelson couldn't help but despise him. How could he dare to touch her innocent shoulder? Humiliation, shame, and anger overwhelmed Roxana Nelson's mind. She struggled, wanting to escape his restraint, but her strength was too weak to impact his tall figure. She didn't even bother to notice his hands as white as chalk.

Angry, she couldn't help but strike her knee at his most vulnerable spot.

Unexpectedly, Richard Harris had already prepared himself and quickly moved away.

"Damn it! Do you want me to end your life?" Richard Harris cursed.

There was a slight distance between them now. Roxana Nelson revealed herself before Richard Harris, making him stare at her in awe. He had never seen such a beautiful body before. Suddenly, his eyes became even darker, and his body became mesmerized by her.

Aware that she was completely exposed to him, Roxana Nelson blushed with embarrassment, the blush spreading to her ears.

"Oh no!" Roxana Nelson couldn't help but exclaim in fear.

Richard Harris wickedly smiled and said, "I saw everything, even when it was unclear!"

He said this without a trace of shame on his face. Roxana Nelson felt like she had no look left to live with. And yet, Richard Harris embraced her with one hand, their bodies pressed closely together, her soft chest against his smooth chest.

An electric current surged through Roxana Nelson, causing her to be both scared and angry. How could she be intimate with this man? She had no face to meet anyone. Her petite face turned red from anger and embarrassment.

Richard Harris lowered his head and kissed her beautiful jade-like collarbone without warning. His other hand couldn't help but cover the rounded part of her body.

Roxana Nelson couldn't hold back a sharp cry.

How could he?

Terrified, tears welled up in Roxana Nelson's eyes.

Realizing that she no longer resisted, Richard Harris stopped his actions. The two stood face to face, their breaths mixed.

"I don't need you to plead for mercy. I want to see how long you can resist." Richard Harris's voice sounded slightly hoarse.

"Get away from me!" Roxana Nelson's voice was filled with anger and despair.

Richard Harris couldn't help but laugh. "My dear, you're already in my arms. What's the point of resisting?"

Roxana Nelson's tears were like broken pearls rolling down her delicate face.

But

Roxana Nelson couldn't hold back her anger toward him. He was despicable for daring to touch her pure shoulder. Humiliation, shame, and anger overwhelmed Roxana Nelson's mind. She struggled, wanting to escape his restraint, but her strength was too weak to impact his tall figure. She didn't even bother to notice his hands as white as chalk.

Angry, she couldn't help but strike her knee at his most vulnerable spot.

To her surprise, Richard Harris had already anticipated it and quickly moved away.

"Damn it! Do you want to die?" Richard Harris cursed.

There was a slight distance between them now. Roxana Nelson revealed herself before Richard Harris, making him stare at her in awe. He had never seen such a beautiful body before. Suddenly, his eyes became even darker, and he became entranced by her.

Aware that she was completely exposed to him, Roxana Nelson blushed with embarrassment, the blush spreading to her ears.

"Oh no!" Roxana Nelson couldn't help but exclaim in fear.

Richard Harris wickedly smiled and said, "I saw everything even when it was unclear!"

He said this without a trace of shame on his face. Roxana Nelson felt like she had no look left to live with. And yet, Richard Harris embraced her with one hand, their bodies pressed closely together, her soft chest against his smooth chest.

An electric current surged through Roxana Nelson, causing her to be both scared and angry. How could she be intimate with this man? She had no face to meet anyone. Her little face turned red from anger and embarrassment.

Richard Harris lowered his head and kissed her beautiful jade-like collarbone without warning. His other hand couldn't help but cover the rounded part of her body.

Roxana Nelson couldn't hold back a sharp cry.

How could he?

Terrified, tears welled up in Roxana Nelson's eyes.

Realizing that she no longer resisted, Richard Harris stopped his actions.

"Beg me!" Richard Harris raised his head and commanded.

Roxana Nelson cried as if her life depended on it. She didn't want to see his face; this man would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Richard Harris snatched her glasses away, revealing her delicate, exquisite face. She smiles like a pear blossom in the rain, her calm and adorable face, like her heart, tightened. Roxana Nelson quickly snatched her glasses back and put them on again.

He might not be indifferent, but when it comes to women who willingly offer themselves to him, he neither softens nor shows mercy. Roxana Nelson's gentle hand quickly clenched in pain, and she took a sharp breath as tears welled up, but she still didn't beg for forgiveness.

Lifting her chin, she saw her previously porcelain-white skin now reddened from his tight grip, causing a slight tremor in her heart. "Please, let me go!"

He had no intention of letting her go.

Roxana Nelson's suppressed sobs turned into uncontrollable crying! Richard Harris's heart suddenly twisted! He had encountered a demon!

"Don't you want to beg?" he asked, his voice icy.

Her answer, as before, was silence!

"Don't blame me for taking what you've willingly offered." His large hand suddenly slid down and forcefully threw her onto her small, narrow bed.

The impact was painful, but Roxana Nelson didn't worry too much. Before he could pin her down, she quickly wrapped the blanket around herself.

Curling up at the foot of the bed, she leaned against the wall, tightly clutching the blanket to conceal her body.

Richard Harris observed her actions, unable to resist mocking her: "Do you think I won't do anything in this situation? Huh! Don't pretend to be innocent. Ha ha! Do all the men you seduce during the summer parties enjoy playing this game? Your familiar posture shows that you must be quite experienced."

Roxana Nelson couldn't understand his sarcastic remarks, and her tears flowed down her throat, causing discomfort like a bone stuck in her. She couldn't swallow or spit it out, feeling a burning sensation in her throat. She wanted to cry out loud but couldn't.

How could he speak to her like that? She was a dignified person. How could she be humiliated like this? She couldn't allow him to do this: "What are you basing your words on?" Roxana Nelson restrained her trembling lips.

She became even more adorable with a tear-stained face, stubbornly turning her head away, refusing to look at him. She feared that she would burst into loud sobs if she held back any longer! This despicable man seemed like a vile demon among all the promiscuous men!

"Do women who engage in such games always pretend to be shy? They behave even more self-righteously than the purest virgins of their youth." Richard Harris's words only fueled anger.

"You! You! You!" Roxana Nelson held onto the blanket, at a loss for words. This sentence weighed on her as if she were enduring a thousand knives. What was he basing his comments on? Roxana Nelson turned her face away, no longer looking at him. There was nothing good about speaking to such a lewd man.

Richard Harris didn't rush over but instead sneered, his lips curling up, as he looked down at the tiny Roxana Nelson.

"Huh, huh!" Richard Harris laughed coldly. "Why don't you object? It was quite real when you fell into the water at the club. You could win a gold Oscar for that. Why do you want to play the soft and helpless role now? I'm not interested in acting with you anymore!"
