Chapter 187

As Isabella felt the cool sensation on her lips, something inside her snapped.

She dumbly tilted her head back and didn’t dare to push Seth away.

His hint was clear. He wanted her to repay him with what little she had.

Discomfort filled Isabella’s heart. The sensation on her lips reminded her that

everything was back to square one, just like five years ago; she could only

ask Seth for a favor in exchange for her body.

Initially, his kiss carried a sense of exploration and warning. But as he realized

she didn’t resist, he deepened the kiss. Soon, Seth was eager to devour her

completely. Isabella felt suffocated, yet she could feel him unbuttoning her

clothes with his hands before touching her body, which he knew all too well.

Her body was under his control while her soul floated above, mocking her for

returning to where she had started.

“I can forgive you for those incidents. Come back to the secretary’s office,

and I’ll protect you,” said Seth as he traced her lips with his finger. He gave

her a small promise after he got what he wanted.

Isabella could feel his anger slowly subsiding, or perhaps he wasn’t actually

furious in the first place. At that moment, she opened her eyes and turned

her face to the side, meeting his gaze with her teary eyes. In return, Seth

kissed the corner of her eye with surprising gentleness.

With a click, he undid her bra.

Isabella opened her mouth and spoke up as he laid her flat.

“I can take the responsibility.”

Seth paused slightly and assumed that she had lost her mind. Perhaps he

was also worried she might regain her senses, so he propped himself up and

grabbed his tie, intending to bind her wrists to avoid any potential unwanted

situations.

Sensing his intention, Isabella pouted. “Seth…”

He heard her voice but didn’t stop his actions, choosing to comfort her by

kissing her cheek.

“Can we please stop?” Isabella asked.

Seth gave her a cold glance and forcefully tightened the tie before lifting her

hands above her head.

Now, she was like a delicacy waiting to be devoured.

“Behave now. I don’t have any kinks.” He brushed away the strands of hair on

her forehead gently. While unbuttoning his own shirt, his gaze remained

fixated on her.

Isabella blinked and somehow regained her composure. Just as Seth threw

his shirt aside and leaned down to kiss her, she suddenly turned her face

away and asked, “Is there no other way?”

Hearing her question, Seth felt slightly annoyed. He covered her mouth and

said, “All I want now is to…” His words were cut off as a sudden pain surged

through his hand!

Isabella bit his palm and lifted her body abruptly, using her head to clash

against his.

Bang! Seth saw stars as he was suddenly attacked. He felt dizzy, and Isabella

overturned his body. After a few ruckuses, everything on the coffee table was

swept onto the floor. Isabella struggled to sit up against the couch with her

wrists still bound, breathing heavily. It wasn’t from suffocation but from sheer

fright.

Seth fell beside her and faced the carpet so she couldn’t see his situation.

After a while, Seth propped himself up and turned to look at Isabella with a

fierce glare. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Isabella, are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Taking a deep breath, Isabella retorted, “I warned you.”

Seth was speechless. He covered his forehead and was infuriated.

In the past month, Isabella had attacked him at least three times. First, she

locked him in the bathroom and switched off the water heater. Second, she

threw soup on his face. Now, she dared to headbutt him at a time like this!

Isabella gulped and struggled to undo the knot of the tie with her mouth.

Then, she reached out to touch Seth’s forehead.

“Get lost!” Seth swung his hand abruptly. In that split second, he slapped

Isabella across the face.

The slap made Isabella feel even dizzier than the headbutt.

Seth frowned and stood up with the help of the coffee table. As he looked at

Isabella, who was bewildered, he had mixed feelings. Though he was furious,

he had no intention of physically harming her. The education he received

since childhood had engraved the principle of not hitting women into his

-decency. He didn’t understand why she would suddenly reach out like that!

“I’m sorry.” Ignoring the burning pain on her face, Isabella propped herself up

and looked at Seth. “I didn’t mean to attack you, but there are some things I

need to clarify.”

“Shut up!” Seth saw the injury on her lip and was even more displeased. He

had no patience to listen to her nonsense.

The words were already at the tip of her tongue, but Isabella had no choice.

but to swallow them all. Suppressing her embarrassment, she buttoned her

clothes before getting off the couch and picked up Seth’s shirt.

Seth stared at her intently and snatched the shirt from her hands. Then, he

turned and left the room without bothering to put on the shirt. Bang! The door

slammed shut, echoing throughout the entire villa.

As the door closed, Isabella’s hands remained in the air. After a long while,

her legs weakened, and she collapsed onto the floor.
