He raised his brows in surprise and said, “But after taking his life, you decided to take mine too. This is a debt that I must collect.”“As expected, it’s useless to reason with you. Very well then. Let me tell you one thing…” She smiled teasingly, tip-toed, and slowly drew herself closer to him provocatively. Just as he frowned, she pounced on his lips.This was an unexpected development. He never imagined that she would do such a thing and was momentarily stunned. It took him a few seconds
He chuckled callously, but his voice was cold and merciless as if he had come from the depths of icy-cold hell. There was no warmth. “Since you have the guts to anger me, you’ll have to bear the consequences. Come. I’d love to see just how skilled you really are, Ms. Carraway, to have men so captivated by you.”Vivian was completely naked.The sight of her biting her lip and enduring this humiliation satisfied him, and for some strange reason, it thrilled him. He pulled her to her feet and dra
Vivian barrelled home straight away. The first thing she did when she arrived at her house was to go into the bathroom, fill the bathtub with hot water, and immerse herself in it. She had already bathed herself in the villa, yet she was not satisfied. She scrubbed herself forcefully with a towel until her skin became red and raw, but she felt like it was still not enough.She brushed her teeth countless times like mad, meticulously scouring through every spot her toothbrush could reach in her o
Soon, she finished packing her stuff. Before she left the house, she turned around and took one last look at her warm abode. Liam would be back in another five hours. If she chose to stay, she could throw herself into his arms and weep her fill. She could ask for his help, and he could help her to shoulder her pain and despair. She was confident that he would never let her face her troubles alone. After all, he was her most solid reliance, her safe haven. However, if she dragged him into this
Wade knew that Edward was an inveterate smoker deep down although he had never seen him smoke before. Piqued by his curiosity, he said, “Mr. Levin, although cigarettes are bad for your health, it doesn’t hurt to have one or two sticks once in a while. The reason you were prohibited from smoking was due to your poor health condition, Mr. Levin. But your health has improved significantly since then, so I guess it is fine for you to enjoy a stick right now.“ Edward was genuinely stunned to hear
Claude nodded, but he still walked her to the door. His persistence put her on the spot. The last thing she wanted him to know was that she was staying in the hotel. Left with no other options, she just kept walking forward with him watching her from behind. In the end, she took a detour around the street with the meal box before returning to the hotel. On Wade’s monitor screen, the green dot representing Vivian’s location was making a square as well. Since he could not make head or tail of
Edward was getting out of the car. When he heard the question, he froze for a second. He turned to Wade and ordered via a condescending tone, “Just wait here!” He went up the building and stood in front of Vivian’s room. He could hear the sound of the television inside the room. When he knocked on the door, she answered. Then, a series of footsteps pattered along to the door. She did not open the door straight away but raised her voice and asked, “Who is it?” “It’s me, Edward Levin,” he repl
Vivian honestly did not mind Edward’s mocking comments. After being hurt that way, these words had no effect on her anymore. It was akin to being dragged away by the enemy every now and then to be brutally beaten and tortured. After an experience like that, you would not mind being bitten by a mosquito or two.She had one hand on the door as she regarded him with a cold look in her eyes. She had no intention of letting him in.Edward laughed. He pushed her away rudely and walked right into the r
