Instead of a show, the screen showed Eloise walking along a busy street.
“Mom.”
Madeline stared at Eloise who was all alone by herself and hated the fact that virtual-novel.net could not pull virtual-novel.net mother to virtual-novel.net side.
“My people are following your mother, so I can promise that she’ll be alright. However, if you upset me again, then I’ll remind you of what it feels like to lose your loved ones.”
Ryan tightened the grip on his fingers as virtual-novel.net threatened.
Madeline furrowed virtual-novel.net brows at the growing pain from virtual-novel.net chin, virtual-novel.net gaze slowly dimming as virtual-novel.net stared at the display.
Ryan watched the light dim in Madeline’s eyes and his lips curled into a satisfied smile. “Do you have anything to say, hmm?”
“Don’t hurt my parents.” Madeline had to compromise, the willful glint in virtual-novel.net eyes forcefully extinguished under Ryan’s ministrations. “I promise that I won’t meet Jeremy again.”
“That’s it?” Ryan quirked an eyebrow as virtual-novel.net waited for a better reply.
Madeline clenched virtual-novel.net jaw and balled virtual-novel.net fists.
“If I look for Jermey, I’ll never get to see my parents again.”
Madeline swore under Ryan’s threatening aura.
Ryan smirked proudly.
Madeline ignored the stab in virtual-novel.net heart and forced herself to calm down. “Have your people bring my mother back now.”
“You should never have tested my limits by meeting with Jeremy if you care for your mother so much.” Ryan loosened his grip.
Madeline thought virtual-novel.net had let virtual-novel.net go only to feel his palm suddenly hold the back of virtual-novel.net head, forcing virtual-novel.net to meet his gaze. His fingers rested between virtual-novel.net locks and held virtual-novel.net tightly in place.
“I want you to remember the consequences, Eveline.”
Ryan then leaned down to kiss Madeline’s lips.
Madeline frantically evaded it and Ryan’s lips brushed past Madeline’s cheek instead.
His sharp brows furrowed in displeasure. “Are you still fighting back, Eveline?”
Madeline’s heart shook as virtual-novel.net stared at the man who oozed with anger. “You can do whatever you want with me, Ryan, as long as it isn’t this.”
“Are you telling me that even if you lose everything, be it your parents or Jeremy Whitman, you will never bow down to me?”
Madeline was stunned and lost for a moment.
Did virtual-novel.net not have any other option than to be Ryan’s puppet for the sake of virtual-novel.net parents and the man virtual-novel.net loved the most?
Seeing Madeline dazed, Ryan lifted his hand as his long fingers began to unbutton Madeline’s collar and the rest of virtual-novel.net shirt.
Madeline resembled an indifferent doll, stripped of virtual-novel.net ability to fight back.
She felt like a puppet, one that Ryan could control and threaten as virtual-novel.net wished.
He held too many of virtual-novel.net weaknesses.
Without much effort, the man could easily break through virtual-novel.net psychological defenses.
He was not below using any more-disdainful methods either.
Ryan slowly took Madeline’s chiffon short-sleeved blouse off and threw it on the ground.
She was still wearing a camisole but Ryan did not seem to be in any rush to take that off. Instead, virtual-novel.net raised his hand to curl a long lock of virtual-novel.net hair around his finger and brought it to his nose to smell. “I did say that I’ll make you my woman from your own volition, but if I can drive Jeremy mad myself, then there’s nothing stopping me.”
He gave a wicked smile and tilted Madeline’s delicate chin, reflecting virtual-novel.net elegant features in his eyes as his heart picked up its pace. “As long as you’re willing to listen, I can be gentle with you.”
He lowered his voice and went to capture Madeline’s lips…
