At that very moment, Natalie's most fervent wish was to drum it into Sean that she wasn't Shane's mother.
As long as he realizes that fact, perhaps he'll lose interest in me. Anyway, I've never felt that he really has feelings
for me. Instead, he merely regards me as a substitute for Shane's mother. After all, our eyes look very similar, and
that's the only reason he's so crazy about me.
When her words rang out, Sean's expression abruptly changed. “How did you know that I have feelings for
Lindsay?”
Averting her face, Natalie admitted, “I saw it with my own eyes. You've got a lot of my mother-in-law's posters and
wax figures in the study in Thompson residence.”
At that, Sean's eyes narrowed. “I see. Shane must be aware of it as well, no?”
Natalie remained silent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the next heartbeat, Sean snickered insidiously. “You're right. I indeed had feelings for Lindsay. But now, you're the
person I love. I'm not treating you as her substitute. I know full well who exactly I love at present.”
“What?” Natalie's eyes almost popped out of her head in disbelief.
He's not regarding me as her substitute?
Sean closed in on her again, trapping her in his arms. He reached out and toyed with her hair. “Trust me, Nat. All I
said was the truth. Indeed, I loved Lindsay in the past, but half of that forbidden love was familial affection. it was
not just romantic love. Ever since you appeared, I've already let go of my feelings and obsession with her. Right
now, you're the person I love. Thus, won't you be with me, Nat?”
“Get away from me!” Natalie pushed him away once more.
Honestly speaking, her panic mounted after she learned that he didn't love Lindsay anymore but her instead.
I initially thought that he would forget all those filthy thoughts he harbored about me when I had him realize that I
wasn't my mother-in-law. But never in my wildest dreams had I ever expected him to no longer love her but me
instead. He's already urging me to be with him now, so he might even force himself on me in the future!
Clocking her terrified and guarded expression, Sean heaved a sigh. “You wound me greatly, Nat.”
Natalie clenched her hands tightly even as she trembled slightly. “You're sick, Sean!”
“Yup, I'm exactly that! As long as I get you, what does it matter if I'm sick?” Sean shrugged, not in the least bit
angered to be insulted thus.
Grinning, he continued, “Consider it carefully, Nat. I'm serious, and I'm also sincere toward you. It's far better to be
with me than Shane. Of course, don't take too long to make a decision for I'm afraid that I'd get impatient.”
After saying that, he caressed her face before he pivoted and left the room.
Natalie wiped her face in disgust, slumping down onto the floor, her body racked with shivers.
How did things get to this? I initially thought that he brought me here to use me as leverage against Shane. When
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe later told me it was so that he could possess me, I thought he regarded me as my mother-in-law's substitute. It's
only now that I realize all my assumptions had been far off the mark. It turned out that he did so because of me!
Lowering her head, she pulled her legs up and hugged them to her chest. Then, she buried her head between her
knees, plunging into infinite horror and bewilderment.
He'll never allow me to leave, and my chances of doing a runner are also slim to none. To top it off, he'll definitely
keep the door locked at all times, cutting off my access to everything that allows communication with the outside
world. That is to say, I'll be confined here, on this island surrounded by the sea, if I can't flee or contact the outside
world. Also, he allowed me time to consider his proposition of being with him, but would he go off the deep end if I
were to decline and use force instead?
As she recalled the maniacal look in his eyes when he stared at her earlier, a shudder inevitably ran through her.
I'm dead certain that he would. Once he lost his patience, he'd definitely force himself on me! At that time, would I
be able to fight him off?
