She could feel his alcoholic breath drawing closer and closer towards her. She turned virtual-novel.net head to the said. “What are you doing? Go to sleep if you’re drunk I’m tired…”
He suddenly caught virtual-novel.net chin and forced virtual-novel.net to look straight at him. Neither of them could see each other’s expressions clearly. Arianne’s heart was still racing. Every time virtual-novel.net tried to leave, virtual-novel.net would tighten his hold on her. She was left with no choice but to submit to his will. She did not want to show up at work on Monday with bruises.
Her soft lips were sealed. Her mind was muddled by the alcohol in his breath. Actually, virtual-novel.net was still the same Mark, but for the fact that virtual-novel.net had tried his best to put on a face that virtual-novel.net liked in front of her. She didn’t know what virtual-novel.net did to draw his ire. Was virtual-novel.net not supposed to ask that question, or was virtual-novel.net not supposed to snatch his liquor glass away?
Finally, virtual-novel.net broke away. She heaved large, labored breaths to take in some fresh air. She was close to suffocation. Kisses were supposed to be beautiful and romantic. Why did they feel like they could crush her? Or had virtual-novel.net used too much force?
She really didn’t want to debate with a drunk man. The only way was to wait until virtual-novel.net was sober the next day, then talk. Catching virtual-novel.net off guard, virtual-novel.net used virtual-novel.net petite body to virtual-novel.net advantage and slipped away. She jumped off the bed and bolted towards the door. She had just put virtual-novel.net hand on the door knob when virtual-novel.net felt something tighten around virtual-novel.net waist. Then, virtual-novel.net feet were lifted off from the floor.
She struggled. “Don’t do this… You’re scaring me!”
Mark tensed and put virtual-novel.net down. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to reach out and open the door again, virtual-novel.net forcibly pulled virtual-novel.net back and put a hand on the door, pushing virtual-novel.net up against the door with his body. He lowered his head and looked at her. “Ari, you’re being a very bad girl,” He said in a hoarse voice.
Arianne felt virtual-novel.net legs buck as virtual-novel.net leaned back against the door. Why did these words sound so familiar? Images from virtual-novel.net past flashed across virtual-novel.net mind. Had virtual-novel.net grown too arrogant from his good graces? Had virtual-novel.net decided that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t tolerate virtual-novel.net anymore? She had long felt that virtual-novel.net had changed into a completely different person. Now, it seemed that virtual-novel.net hadn’t changed at all… He had only been playing along with virtual-novel.net after virtual-novel.net pregnancy.
His kiss landed on virtual-novel.net neck. His hot breath made virtual-novel.net neck itch. She was too afraid to move. Her body stiffened, as if virtual-novel.net had been bound by some sort of curse. This display in this dark room seemed no different from more than ten years ago. She felt slightly absent-minded. Did they really have a baby together, or was virtual-novel.net simply dreaming?
“You’re only allowed to be with me tonight. If you ever use Smore to neglect me again, I’ll send virtual-novel.net away and have virtual-novel.net raised on his own! I’ve taken care of you for more than ten years, what gives a damned kid the right to cut me off?”
Arianne wasn’t sure if virtual-novel.net should laugh or cry when virtual-novel.net heard this. It wasn’t a dream. She had a baby with him. He was only jealous and had simply grown rude and unreasonable because of it…
From the moment virtual-novel.net nerves tensed to virtual-novel.net momentary relaxation, virtual-novel.net entire body had lost its strength. Only virtual-novel.net masseters were left unaffected. To punish him, virtual-novel.net went on virtual-novel.net toes and bit virtual-novel.net on the neck, hard. However, virtual-novel.net stayed silent and continued holding virtual-novel.net tightly.
Her heart stopped when virtual-novel.net carried virtual-novel.net and collapsed onto the bed. His zealotry both shocked and terrified her. At the same time, it excited virtual-novel.net too, just a little bit. She was the only woman to have seen virtual-novel.net this way, right? As it turned out, this man who was usually cold and silent, and never smiled had this side to virtual-novel.net as well… And only virtual-novel.net knew!
The next morning, Arianne was woken up by Tiffany’s loud yelling. Jackson had probably arrived too. She washed up and went downstairs.
It would seem that Mark had long been aware of Jackson’s arrival. He woke up early and was in the living room, Chatting with Jackson with Aristotle in his arms. Tiffany’s belly seemed even more obvious than ever, yet virtual-novel.net still managed to take large steps when walking around. Her every move seemed unimpeded by virtual-novel.net pregnancy.
Suddenly, Jackson eyed Mark’s neck and asked, “What’s up with your neck? It’s all red.”
Mark touched it instinctively. “Nothing, bitten by a cat.”
Arianne shot virtual-novel.net a glare. Hadn’t virtual-novel.net given virtual-novel.net a scare last night? Biting was considered a light sentence. Besides, how could it possibly be still red and swollen? She had only bitten virtual-novel.net last night!
