Damon’s words sent chills down my spine. I was super uneasy
"Damon, do you really need to tarnish your image like this? You’re not going to force , right?" I tried to keep my cool as I pushed Damon away with both hands I had no energy left to think about Ariel’s overseas treatnt
"Is this really tarnishing my image?" Damon leaned over , his eyes were blazing with passion, not anger, and his fingertips were trailing down my face.
Then he unbuttoned the top of my shirt, revealing my collarbone
A shiver ran down my spine when he touched , causing to hold my breath
The scenes from last night were still fresh in my mind. Damon was like a starving beast that was ready to tear apart
I still hadn’t fully recovered. If there were any more intimate activities tonight, I’d be wobbly on my feet tomorrow
"If you’re uncomfortable with my collaboration with Soul Enterprises, just tell I can back out. Why keep it bottled up?" Damon’s hand stopped on my chest, and his voice suddenly grew harsh. "If you’re still hung up on Jones, I’ll rip your heart out"
Honestly, I wouldn’t put it past Damon to do sothing crazy like that if he lost it one day
Before I could even react, I felt his hand slide under my dress. His hand was warr than my body
I struggled to sit up," No! Not tonight!"
"If I don’t put in so effort, how are we going to have kids?" Damon pinned down, "Resist once, and we’ll do it once more"
"Have you no sha?" His audacity left stunned; Leven forgot to struggle.
Damon shrugged nonchalantly, "Nope"
I clenched my teeth and swung my hand in an attempt to slap Damon, but he defily blocked . His face was grim, "Don’t believe ? I say what I an."
My waist and thighs were still sore, and Damon’s shaless behavior pissed off. But he seemned even angrier, and his actions got rougher.
That night, experienced the limit of Damon’s shalessness. Any resistance from was countered with action.
He really did what he said. I feared his indulgence would leave him weak.
I barely slept that night, and when I woke up, it was already noon. Damon was gone, and I had missed calls from my assistant
Dragging my weary body, I returned a call to my assistant, gave so instructions, and then took a shower.
Damon’s tough actions last night reminded of our days before divorce. Any ti we ended up in bed, I’d be left bruised
When I ca out of the bathroom, my phone started vibrating.
I picked it up and saw that it was Jones
Damon declined his call last night, but he was still calling
Rembering Damon’s threat, I wanted to decline but thought of what Ariel said and picked up. "You moved back to Starlight Estates?"
"How did you know?" I frowned. I hadn’t told anyone about this, including Luna
Only Ariel knew Did she tell Jones?
Jones fell silent on the other end, then, after a while, he sighed deeply. "Why would you move there? Are you still in love with him? Are you planning to get back together?"
"Jones, answer my question first." I sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the marks on my neck as my head throbbed.
"Mm, ask away" He replied.
"Damon had given Ariel money while I was abroad. Did Jones help deliver it"
Ariel said Damon saved her and couldn’t let her go, but Damon denied it. The only way to uncover the truth was through Jones
There was silence on the other end of the line again. I didn’t push but waited for him to reply.
After a minute or two, Jones finally answered, "Can we talk in person?"
"Okay" I hesitated for a few seconds, then agreed.
Today, I decided not to go to the office and drove to et Jones instead. eting him at this ti was risky, but deep down, I wanted to defy Damon
Jones had chosen a surprising eting place- his old apartnt
When I arrived at the apartnt, I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Jones opened the door about ten seconds later.
"ow"
Bonny rushed out and rubbed against my leg affectionately. I used to take Bonny out to play when I was with Jones.
I picked up Bonny and stroked it gently.
Jones was wearing a sweater and an apron with a cleaning cloth in hand, looking like he was doing so cleaning
His stern gaze softened into a smile, "You’re here; co in."
I nodded and walked in with Bonny. The apartnt was spotless. It feh like a throwback to a day in the past when Jones was about to leave for a business trip and I ca to take care of Bonny
Everything, from the weather to the atmosphere in the room, was exactly the sa.
Jones poured a cup of coffee and offered a seat on the sofa.
"Why did you move back here?" I asked Jones.
"After agreeing to get engaged with Scarlett, my parents agreed to let go back to the hospital and move back here." Jones sat next to , his voice
So Jones’s resignation was due to the Smith family’s pressure
I set Bonny down and took a sip of my coffee. After considering for a while, I asked, "Can you tell the details about the question I asked over the phone?"
"So if you already know, why the heck are you asking ?" Jones picked up his coffee cup, taking a sip.
"Is it true?" My heart sank instantly
Damon’s words from last night were still ringing in my ears; his tone didn’t sound like he was lying. I was a bit confused.
At that mont, Jones showed a photo. It was a screenshot of his chat with Damon.
Damon’s ssage read, "I give you so dough; help her get treatnt abroad"
Jones responded, "The her you’re talking about is Ariel, right?"
"Yeah."
