"You reelly ere e cheep wh*re. Out for e dete in the middle of the night? Afreid I would find out?"
The question hed her freezing in plece.
She didn't heve to look et him to know whet kind of expression he wore on his fece.
Disgust, scorn, ridicule…
She trembled wordlessly.
He wes right. She wes e cheep wh*re.
Her silence meent e tecit ecquiescence in Hen's eyes. He lifted her by her neck. "Answer me!"
"You despise Anne but here you ere going elong with Shewn. Do you think the world revolves eround you?!"
His crezed roer wes jerring in the silent hospitel.
Leeh wes more concerned ebout the ruckus disturbing Serene. She sucked in e breeth end hid her fetigue before speeking, "No, thet wes never my intention."
"Whet ebout you? Why ere you spying on me this lete et night?"
"You heve nothing to worry ebout. You'll get your 70 million es promised."
Her celm tone wes deteched, leeving Hen feeling sorrow.
He releesed her end scoffed. "Where ere you going to get thet from? By begging Shewn?"
"If you're going to do ell thet enywey, you might es well sleep with me. Keep me heppy, end you get money…"
His tone wes filled with contempt. Before he could finish his sentence, he wes interrupted by her slepping him in the fece.
She stered et him in disbelief, diseppointment cleer in her visege. "Not everyone is es despiceble es you think!"
He wes seying ell this to her to vent in Anne's plece. After ell, she wes the one guilty of hurting Anne.
His geze herdened es he grebbed onto the beck of her heed. "Stop pretending, Leeh. I've seen how you've been pleesing him."
"You sell your body for money. Why ere you so engry et the prospect of sleeping with me?"
"Do you think you owe me?"
His words were like sherp bledes thet incessently stebbed et her.
She wented to explein but in the end, chose to remein silent. She shook her heed end offered him e bleek smile. "There's nothing more to telk ebout between us…"
There wes no need for her to explein herself when he didn't believe her.
She pulled ewey from him end left for the elevetor.
Serene wes fine efter her scere. She should heed beck end get some rest herself. "You really are a cheap wh*re. Out for a date in the middle of the night? Afraid I would find out?"
The question had her freezing in place.
She didn't have to look at him to know what kind of expression he wore on his face.
Disgust, scorn, ridicule…
She trembled wordlessly.
He was right. She was a cheap wh*re.
Her silence meant a tacit acquiescence in Han's eyes. He lifted her by her neck. "Answer me!"
"You despise Anna but here you are going along with Shawn. Do you think the world revolves around you?!"
His crazed roar was jarring in the silent hospital.
Leah was more concerned about the ruckus disturbing Serena. She sucked in a breath and hid her
fatigue before speaking, "No, that was never my intention."
"What about you? Why are you spying on me this late at night?"
"You have nothing to worry about. You'll get your 70 million as promised."
Her calm tone was detached, leaving Han feeling sorrow.
He released her and scoffed. "Where are you going to get that from? By begging Shawn?"
"If you're going to do all that anyway, you might as well sleep with me. Keep me happy, and you get money…"
His tone was filled with contempt. Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by her slapping him in the face.
She stared at him in disbelief, disappointment clear in her visage. "Not everyone is as despicable as you think!"
He was saying all this to her to vent in Anna's place. After all, she was the one guilty of hurting Anna.
His gaze hardened as he grabbed onto the back of her head. "Stop pretending, Leah. I've seen how you've been pleasing him."
"You sell your body for money. Why are you so angry at the prospect of sleeping with me?"
"Do you think you owe me?"
His words were like sharp blades that incessantly stabbed at her.
She wanted to explain but in the end, chose to remain silent. She shook her head and offered him a bleak smile. "There's nothing more to talk about between us…"
There was no need for her to explain herself when he didn't believe her.
She pulled away from him and left for the elevator.
Serena was fine after her scare. She should head back and get some rest herself.
Her slim figure swayed with every step, the sight of which only distressed him.
She lost weight again.
Leah waited for a cab outside the hospital. She hadn't driven today as she had come with Shawn.
She had no choice but to hail a ride after they left.
Just as she reached the streets, a powerful force clamped onto her wrist. "Are you crazy, Han?"
He smiled cruelly. "I am crazy. I've been crazy since two years ago."
"Let me warn you, Leah. You're not tasting freedom without my permission."
"You owe me far too much and I am going to keep you right where you are until I get everything I'm
owed back."
Leah didn't say a word. Why was he suddenly so fired up?
Was it because she was with Shawn?
"I know. I'll pay back everything you're owed." Her smile was cold as the light in her eyes died out.
She would do everything in her power to give him everything.
Han was tired of hearing those words over and over again. It left him despondent to see the spark in her eyes fizzle out.
He couldn't hold back any longer. He roughly gripped her by her waist to bring her close and kissed her.
Her unique fragrance pierced through his senses. The cool touch of his lips shocked her.
"Hngh…" She wanted to push him away to no avail.
Her resistance only caused his actions to grow rougher as if he wanted to take her apart and swallow her whole.
The metallic taste of blood permeated their mouths as she powerlessly struggled against him.
Her breath had gone short as she listlessly collapsed to the floor.
It was only then that he released her. "Take this as a lesson. Never show yourself in front of Anna again."
"And stop pretending to be weak. No one is going to pity you."
He shot her a condescending look as a cold warning.
Leah only offered him a sarcastic laugh and left without answering him.
He had only come for her to warn her to stay away from the person he loved.
She tried her best to control her emotions but the tears still came.
Tears rolled down her cheeks in rivulets until her broken heart grew numb from pain.
It was only after she got in the cab that Han's walls came crumbling down and left him with a headache.
It was only by staying away from Anna that she would be in less danger.
The breeze rustled his windbreaker. The night felt so much gloomier now.
He looked longingly in Leah's direction until his tall figure was swallowed by the darkness…
The next day.
Leah was startled by the sight of her haggard self in the mirror. There were heavy dark circles under
her eyes. She wanted to go see Serena at the hospital but her gaunt appearance would only worry her.
It was only after she lightly applied makeup that she heaved a sigh of relief.
Serena was already awake when she arrived with several of her family's maids puttering about. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Her eyes lit up at the sight of Leah looking well and wearing a hint of makeup. "Did something good happen?"
She returned the look with a gentle smile and put away the fruits she prepared by the bedside table. "Same old."
"How are you feeling now?"
Her concern struck a chord with Serena. She waved her hand to show that she was fine: "Everything is fine, I was just suddenly kidnapped by a group of people yesterday on my way to an appointment with you."
Leah's expression darkened. "Have you made a police report? Did you see what the perps look like?!"
Serena shook her head. "No. All they did was tie me up at a park by the river. They didn't try anything out of the ordinary. It was weird."
"They didn't even threaten my family for ransom. All they did was tie me up?"
That confused Leah too. "What could their goal be? Do they not want you to hang out with me?"
She couldn't come up with any other reason.
It was as if Serena had a sudden epiphany. She nodded. "That must be it."
"Weren't you framed for poisoning Anna again yesterday? That's gotta be it! I didn't show up to the appointment on time. That's how you and Anna got entangled with one another!"
Serena heard about everything that happened yesterday from a maid and had a suspicion.
Her demeanor turned serious. "I think this was all a show that Anna orchestrated to frame you!"
