Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She stopped struggling and looked at him in surprise. “How did you know?”
His dark eyes locked onto her face and he recalled the scene of her trying on the wedding dress – his eyes gradually darkened.
“Look at you. You must be happy. But what if I’m not?”
Serenity blinked. “President Jones, why would your happiness be related to mine?”
“You have such a terrible tongue.” Gabriel leaned in and kissed her, ignoring her struggles as he moved into her space.
Serenity could tell that he was angry, but she did not know why.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sudden onset of his wave of anger was terrifying. The more she struggled, the more he clamped down on her.
Every kiss he planted on her left a burning sensation until it left a mark on her skin.
In just a few minutes, her entire body had gone limp.
Her coat hung loosely on her shoulders as she panted slightly, looking at him with flushed cheeks and a hazy look. “You-”
One word was all she managed to utter until he stopped her again.
They stumbled toward the wash basin as he led her over. She grabbed his hand in panic and said, “Don’t…Someone will come…”
Gabriel was a little unhappy to be interrupted. “This one is under maintenance. Didn’t you see the sign?”
That explained why no one knocked or tried to enter for such a long time.
When she heard the sound of a metal zipper behind her, Serenity felt as if her head was about to explode.
She looked in the reflection of the mirror, noticing how her charming face was having an internal struggle.
Soon, her last bit of rationality collapsed.
In just a few short minutes, she became so weak that she could barely stand.
If he hadn’t held on to her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
On the other side of the door, there came the steady sound of leather shoes, followed by Calvin Gilbert’s voice. “Serenity?”
She was so frightened that she immediately held her breath. It was also at this moment that the man behind her became even more aggressive.
She bit her lips tightly and did not let herself make any sound, lest someone saw this shameful scene.
“Serenity, are you inside? If you’re here, say something.”
Calvin saw the ‘under maintenance’ sign on the door, paused in his tracks, and turned to look for her in another bathroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she heard the sound of footsteps getting further away, Serenity’s drum-like heart gradually relaxed. But before she could catch her breath, she was ruthlessly punished by the person behind her…
Serenity leaned against the car window as she sat in the comfortably luxurious car. The shadows outside swept past her face which was well-framed by her hair.
Gabriel glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and picked up the phone. It was a call from Caleb.
Before Caleb could speak, he said, “1’11 leave first. You handle the rest.”
Caleb still had the phone in his hand when Gabriel hung up and left the former with a dead tone. He turned around and looked at the private room, then shook his head helplessly.
Gabriel threw his phone aside and said in a low and gentle tone, “Shall 1 send you home?”
Serenity’s bag and phone were still in the private room so he was her only way home.
Her lips were getting a little dry, especially since she had been biting it since earlier. She politely and distantly said, “Sorry to trouble you, President Jones.”
After how he treated her in the bathroom earlier, now he was offering to send her home? Was it out of kindness? Was he trying to give her candy after slapping her?
She was a little angry and didn’t want to talk to him. But if she didn’t let him send her home, she would have to walk back.
But she didn’t know which was worse – walking the long journey back or being stuck in the car with Gabriel..
