Yvonne Xander snickered. After careful observation, she noticed that something had been off. She stopped smiling and answered thoughtfully, “I’m not too sure. They were always together before and after class. There were rumors about them being a couple but I’m not sure if it’s true. Monique didn’t tell me because she was afraid my dad would have found out.”Henry pressed his lips tightly after hearing what she said with a vicious look in his eyes. Yvonne shuddered in fear as she felt the atmosphere around them thickened instantly.If Yvonne had bluntly said that they had been a couple, he would not have believed her. However, she described it with euphemistic terms, and with the way Monique had reacted this afternoon, he had been pretty convinced that she had been telling the truth.He felt threatened.Did she go back to look for him!That damn woman.Yvonne sniggered internally when she saw Henry’s expression. ‘Monique, I would make him mine.’At that moment, Zephyrus returned
In a haze, she saw a familiar figure from afar.He had been slim and tall, having sat quietly while he sipped on his drink.Monique scoffed and poured herself another drink. She gagged with disgust when Henry’s face appeared in her mind.The person who sat next to Simon Leeds whispered in his ear with a smirk, “Simon, you’re in luck. There’s a girl over there who keeps staring at you.”He then pointed at the intoxicated woman.Simon followed the direction of his fingers and looked over. After a while, he finally saw a woman who had been chugging her drinks. He frowned and walked over in large steps“Monique! Why are you drinking so much?!” Simon took Monique’s glass away and yelled at her because the music had been too loud.It took Monique a while before she turned around to have looked at the man beside her. After a few moments, she finally realized that she had not been dreaming, “Simon?”“Come and have a few glasses with me,” Monique invited him happily, “I’m so glad to see
Henry searched both sides of the streets for Monique while he drove.When his phone rang, he immediately answered, “Any updates?”Shaun’s voice sounded from the other end excitedly, “She’s in Blues Bar.”“Blues Bar!” Henry furrowed his brows. Five years had passed since she had last gone there. Why did she visit that place again?What had she planned to do?A horrifying thought crossed Henry’s mind.Had she lost her mind and gone looking for other men?Henry rammed his car and ignored the traffic lights, almost having caused an accident on his way there.He parked right in front of Blues Bar.Henry opened the door hurriedly and jumped out of the car.He walked past his car and had been about to have dashed into the bar. When he saw the two figures in front of him, he halted in his tracks. His slender body formed a towering shadow under the illumination of the signboards, having given off a blood-curling vibe.His charming features looked so cold as if they had been covered b
Henry frowned and his expression darkened. His lips curled into a vicious grin and said, “You asked for it.”He strode forward and yanked the drunk woman away roughly from Simon, while he threw a punch at him with his other hand.Simon collapsed onto the ground, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away with his hand and stood up.Simon also tried to take Monique from him but Henry dodged his attempt and he missed her. However, he spun around and landed his fist on Henry’s face.Henry had not seen that coming as he was focused on Monique. Blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth and he spat on the ground as if he could not have felt any pain. His eyes blackened and he had given out a murderous look.Simon walked toward him fearlessly, with clenched fists and roared, “If you don’t know how to treasure her, let her go! She deserves better!”Anger had been boiling inside him as he held onto Monique tightly. When Simon threw another punch at him, he did not sh
Night has turned to day, nascent rays of the rising sun peered through the window.The man gave a tender kiss on the swollen lips of the woman before having dozed off contentedly.The room had been brightly lit when it approached noon.Monique opened her eyes slowly, with a throbbing pain in her head. Her entire body had been incredibly sore. There had been a lingering scent in the room, which had been a result of a steamy affair.She looked around and had a feeling of déjà vu. The room looked rather familiar, the decor had almost been similar to the one she found herself in five years ago.She had been stunned. Had she travelled back in time?She closed her eyes, fragments of memories flashed in her mind. There had been someone who nibbled on her lips, hovered over her while he thrusted into her. Monique’s eyes shot open and peered under the covers. She had been horrified to have found herself not having had on a single piece of clothing and had been totally naked!There had be
Monique felt chills run down her spine. His presence had been so overbearing that it made her feel out of breath. Henry must have referred to Simon as the guy from last night. She realized that she did not travel back in time. Could her life have gotten any worse?Simon would have never taken advantage of her.He would have definitely protected her.Monique started tearing up. She had been so mad that she totally ignored the outcome of provoking a man like Henry. She wanted to antagonize him.She sat up and scooted to the side to have kept a distance from him.“Yes, I’m incredibly disappointed!” Monique seethed.She had no qualms of showing her repugnance towards him. After all, he had just wanted to possess her and coerced her into being his plaything.She had no choice and had been too weak to have fought back.However, she was not going to let him have his way.His attractive looks that charmed countless ladies had repulsed her.Henry pressed his lips tightly, as anger b
“You don’t have to pretend!” Monique scoffed. Her eyes stared at him with disgust, “You don’t need to find excuses for your appalling actions. It was all an act to make me your lover.”Just an act?!She thought that it had been his ploy to have gotten her. Was he out of his mind then? He rushed all the way from the city when he heard that she went on a blind date. He never left her side when she had a fever and took care of her from day to night, changed the towels on her forehead, measured her temperature regularly, and accompanied her when she had lost her appetite. How dare she say that he had just been acting?Who did she think she was? What kind of lover would have received so much attention?Who the hell did she think she was? If she had not been Angel's mother, he would not have bothered to have looked at her.Henry curled his lips and sneered, “You think too highly of yourself. Lover? You think I want you as my lover with the figure you have?”Henry continued to mock her,
When he thought that she would have finally been his after writing down the amount, he continued to stare at her with raised brows.Monique sat down elegantly and placed the checkbook on the table. She held the pen with her slender fingers, neatly trimmed nails and wrote the numbers with her pretty handwriting.She lifted her head after she had finished writing the check. The sun rays shone on her bare face without makeup, having given it a natural glow like a flawless gem.She saw him staring at her possessively, “Aren’t you curious how much I wrote?”He curled his lips and said, “I’ve told you that you can write any amount you want!”Monique smiled faintly, her gaze towards him darkened, “You asked what I wanted just now. I’ll give you an answer now.”“Uhm, go on.” The anger in his eyes dissipated.If she had been willing to be with him, he could have given her as much money as she wanted.Monique had already expected that he would have ridiculed her.She threw the check at
