Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 442 Her Prey

As she said that, Irene looked down with worry.

She compressed her lips and thought she knew Manuel well. However, she realized she had never known him.

Irene remembered the birthday banquet. Even if Manuel and Ainsley might pretend to be close in front of Irene,

they attended it together.

Daniel's tone gradually became cold. "She will not when she is sober. What if Ainsley doesn’t want to control

herself? Do you think Manuel can resist the temptation?"

Daniel had seen Ainsley's blurred eyes, red cheeks, and pink lips, so he knew how strong the temptation was and

believed no man could resist that.

Daniel pounded the steering wheel madly, but he could do nothing. He watched Manuel take Ainsley away, and that

had happened several times.

"Stop! Didn't you feel uncomfortable when you said that?"

Daniel gritted his teeth and said, "Is there any way to take Ainsley back?"

As long as he closed his eyes, he saw Ainsley and Manuel on the bed. The illusion made him want to drive to

Manuel's home.

Irene thought for a moment and said, "No. You should save yourself first."

With that, Irene hung up the phone.

Daniel stopped his car and went into a bar. There, he would forget his anger about Ainsley being taken away and his

hatred of Manuel.

Only the swaying people and the rich smell of alcohol in the bar could offer Daniel a sense of belonging and

security.

Daniel came from Portugal and had never felt afraid.

When he met Manuel in the cafe, he had the feeling for the first time.

When Manuel told Daniel to "escape", Daniel's heart skipped a beat.

Before Daniel came to Seattle, he had heard of Manuel's methods. Therefore, Daniel was sure Manuel would deal

with him with those methods.

"Serve me some wine." Daniel sat in the seat and placed his feet on the table. The bartender dared not say

anything and served him wine. Daniel had saved a lot of wine in the bar, so the bartender only needed to take

those. It was not troublesome.

Daniel's hand trembled as he held the glass, and the wine almost spilled. He gulped the wine, and the bartender

immediately filled his glass up.

Other than being afraid, Daniel was more unwilling to give Ainsley up.

No other woman could make him obsessed.

Not all the excuses Daniel used to see Ainsley were false. He did often dream of Ainsley. The feeling was wonderful.

He had never liked someone else that way.

When Daniel was drinking, two girls sat on his left and right.

Daniel was annoyed. When the two girls sat next to him, he smelled their perfume and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Daniel, you finally come. We have been waiting for you." A girl held the glass to Daniel's mouth, and the other

grabbed his arm.

Daniel felt disgusted. In the past, he liked to be surrounded by girls. However, the girls were nothing compared to

Ainsley.

In the middle of the night, Ainsley woke up and looked around. Manuel was sleeping on the sofa, but he didn't sleep

soundly.

The heat had not dissipated, and the tranquilizer could only be effective for a certain period. When the efficacy of

the tranquilizer decreased, she once again was in the heat of the fire.

The feeling made her miserable as if the fire in the depths of her heart couldn't be vented.

Ainsley eyes became blurred again, and Manuel was like her prey. Her eyes glittered, and she might lose control of

herself at any moment.

Ainsley pinched herself hard, and the sharp pain was accompanied by a biting itchiness.

Ainsley became unconscious. Finally, she turned over and threw herself onto Manuel. She said anxiously, "I feel so

hot. Help me."

Manuel was startled awake. His eyes were bloodshot, and he controlled Ainsley's hands with one hand.

And his other hand held her so that she would not fall off.

Ainsley sprang on Manuel repeatedly and muttered, "I feel so hot."

Manuel opened a cooling patch. "You will feel better after using this."

Before Manuel put the cooling patch on Ainsley's forehead, Ainsley held his hand. "Manuel, I feel so hot."

"Aisy, do you want to do that? You are not sober," Manuel said in a deep voice.

"I'm sober." Ainsley tried her best to control her body.

Manuel was silent for a moment, and his eyes stared fixedly at Ainsley's as if he wanted to know what she was

thinking through her clear eyes.

The next second, Ainsley murmured, "Manuel, help me."

Manuel couldn't control himself any longer. He looked down and turned over to suppress Ainsley.

"Call my name." His hands were on Ainsley's shoulders, and his eyes were affectionate.

He smelled the fragrance of Ainsley's hair, and the heat of Ainsley made him want to touch every inch of her skin.

The impulsion made him almost lose control of himself. He stroked Ainsley's cheek with his right hand. Seeing her

blurred eyes, he gently kissed her cheek.

Then, Ainsley opened her tender mouth and said softly, "Manuel."

Manuel smiled and lowered his head. He rubbed the tip of his nose against her cheek and stopped at her neck as if

he would bite her.

"Manuel..." Ainsley said again. She couldn't help but touch Manuel with her slender fingers.

Ainsley's voice awakened Manuel, and he kissed her crazily.

However, Ainsley was not satisfied with that.

"Manuel." She stared at Manuel with passion.

Ainsley hugged Manuel tightly. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, which was followed by a cold touch.

Manuel's breathing became heavier. He couldn't help but close his eyes. Then, he groaned and slowly let go of

Ainsley.

"Don't regret it." A shadow of a smile touched Manuel's mouth. He held Ainsley's ankles with one hand, and the

other moved slowly upwards to caress her delicate skin.

Ainsley's senses were aroused, and she couldn't help but shiver when there was a tingling sensation in her back.

Ainsley came to her senses for a moment. When she realized what was happening, she tried to move back with

uncontrollable fear.

However, the redness on her face lingered for a long time.

Manuel realized Ainsley wanted to retreat. He grabbed her waist forcefully and moved forward. Then, he lowered

his head and covered her tempting lips with his.

Finally, Manuel got close to Ainsley.

The night passed quickly. It was dawn the next day.
