Arianne felt slightly guilty now that virtual-novel.net thoughts were exposed. She was too afraid to meet Mark’s eye. “I… I won’t stay. That’s not all, I’m taking my grandmother with me. Even if my grandmother insists on staying, do you dare to confess everything you’ve done? You’ll give virtual-novel.net a stroke if virtual-novel.net discovers the truth one day! Don’t burn the bridges. Please be kind and leave my family alone, okay? I won’t pick on what had happened in the past, but let’s just draw a clear line between us, okay? I really… I really don’t see any way for us to be together…”
Although Mark was long aware of Arianne’s promise to return to the Tremont Estate was only a half-hearted one, virtual-novel.net was still provoked by virtual-novel.net words. They could not draw a clear line between them. He was already at his limit for letting virtual-novel.net leave his side for so long, and yet, virtual-novel.net would jump at any opportunity just to leave him. A chaotic mix of complicated emotions swirled in his mind. He took off his glasses and threw them on the floor before pulling virtual-novel.net to him.
“You don’t see any way for us to be together? And I thought I was cold-blooded. Your blood is obviously much colder than mine. How many years has it been? Do you really think you can forget me just like that? Can you really sever all ties with me just like that? You’re not affected at all, are you? Do you dare to say you have no feelings at all for me? Look at me!”
Arianne looked straight into his eyes that were brimming with rage and slowly waning patience. She pushed virtual-novel.net away fearfully. There was only one thought left in virtual-novel.net mind at this moment, virtual-novel.net had to run away from him!
“Let me go or I’ll scream!”
Mark smirked. “Go ahead. This place is filled with the Tremont’s staff. Do you really think screaming will do you any good? Oh… That’s right, you have your grandmother. Do you really think that she’ll help you? I’m making love to you, not abusing you. Granny isn’t going to care. Don’t you think so?”
The expression on his face and the way virtual-novel.net smiled when virtual-novel.net said those words filled Arianne with fear. She thought that virtual-novel.net had gradually broken away from his control, but it seemed like virtual-novel.net was wrong. She had always known the best way to make virtual-novel.net happy was to give in to him. However, virtual-novel.net could not give in to virtual-novel.net all the time. However, virtual-novel.net knew once virtual-novel.net angered him, there was no turning back.
During their struggle, virtual-novel.net accidentally stepped on his glasses. The loud crack smashed through the last line of defense in virtual-novel.net heart. He had pressed virtual-novel.net up against the window, and there was no way out. The Tremont Estate’s employees would walk around the garden from time to time, but virtual-novel.net was too afraid to scream for help because virtual-novel.net knew it would be futile. It would only serve to alert people to what was going on.
“Mark… I’m exhausted. I don’t want to fight with you… Please let me go for now, okay? I’ve already agreed to stay in the Tremont Estate for the time being. What… What more do you want from me?” In the end, virtual-novel.net gave in just like virtual-novel.net used to do. She had reverted to virtual-novel.net old self upon virtual-novel.net return, back to the weakling that virtual-novel.net used to be, back to being controlled by him. She hated this feeling and was afraid of his anger.
“What makes you think you can get away With acting half-hearted with me? Let me make myself clear, you’ve made a mistake.” Mark grabbed virtual-novel.net by the wrist and dragged virtual-novel.net out into the master bedroom.
As virtual-novel.net passed the staircase, Arianne saw Mary who was on virtual-novel.net way upstairs. She shot Mary a pleading look.
Arianne could see Mary struggling with herself when the old woman suddenly called out from downstairs, “Mary, do you have any more of that tea? Make some for me!”
Mary quickly replied and ran down.
Arianne’s heart sank. No one could save virtual-novel.net now. Her return was a mistake! She was mercilessly flung onto Mark’s bed when they arrived in the master bedroom. When virtual-novel.net climbed above her, virtual-novel.net reached out and placed virtual-novel.net hands firmly on his chest. “Don’t do this! Why can’t you keep your promise? I’m really not trying to stall for time… One year, just give me a year, okay? No… It’s less than a year now. Two months have passed, right? There are only ten more months left… Don’t do this…”
She could not see any hint of rage on Mark’s face, virtual-novel.net only saw his obsession with her. This frightened virtual-novel.net even more. She felt as though shackles were closing in around her, and virtual-novel.net would not be able to get rid of them no matter how much virtual-novel.net struggled.
“What are you afraid of? Hmm? That I’d touch you? Or that you’d realize you missed me too?”
Arianne shut virtual-novel.net eyes, refusing to look at him. He knew that virtual-novel.net still loved him. Was that why virtual-novel.net was forcing virtual-novel.net like this? She had given everything virtual-novel.net had to draw a line between them, but virtual-novel.net always managed to destroy virtual-novel.net hopes just when virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was close to success.
He buried his face in virtual-novel.net neck, willfully taking in virtual-novel.net unique scent. His hands moved with even greater urgency.
Arianne tried to ignore his existence, but virtual-novel.net senses heightened with increasing speed. She was in his room that was filled with his scent… Everything was real and so difficult to ignore.
Her body stiffened when virtual-novel.net suddenly let loose. She tensed up, feeling at a loss. A myriad of complicated emotions rose in virtual-novel.net heart. She felt as though virtual-novel.net had sinned, as though virtual-novel.net was corrupted, and had plunged into hell with him…
He liked it when virtual-novel.net let virtual-novel.net hair down. Her hair was like a waterfall. His long and slender fingers pulled off virtual-novel.net hair tie, releasing virtual-novel.net long and fragrant hair. This served to arouse virtual-novel.net even more. “Stay… Stay here, okay? I’ll atone for my sins for the rest of my life. Isn’t that enough? I’ll do anything as long as you stay. Please stay…”
