Chapter 353 - The Waving Red Flag
She was almost at the door when Nick blocked her path. He just could not simply let her go. "I can arrange for you to see Cassie. It is a one-ti offer. All you have to do is have dinner with ."
Her reaction to his touch did not deter his intention. On the contrary, he felt more challenged to pursue her even more. The sting on his cheek only fueled the obsession he had with her. He had to own her again.
"You must be insane if you think that I will ever go out with you again." She moved a step back away from him, seeing his devilish smile. "Get out of my way." She demanded, ready to strike him again if given a chance.
She regretted her involvent with him. It was a lesson she would never forget. A man like him was not worth her tears and especially her love. Luckily, she had found a man a hundred tis better than him.
She was not going to waste any more of her ti in his presence. It was a mistake that she ca to see him. As always, she only proved that he was not capable of a civilized conversation.
"Don't be like that. I am sure that we could at least be friends. After all, we did have shared a lot of mories." He stood his ground, still blocking her path towards the door.
He figured that she was too smart to fall for his tricks. He had to think of sothing else if he wanted her back. He had to be more cunning in dealing with her. That was the only way.
"What mories?" She could almost feel her blood boiling, rembering those unwanted recollections of their past. "My relationship with you was a nightmare." She sneered at him.
All her hatred ca back like a tidal wave, ready to consu everything in its path. She had finally confronted the man that almost ruined her life.
"It was not all bad. We did share many good ones." He replied to her, hoping to reason out with her.
But she quickly shut him down with her reply. "Those were all lies. Nothing about what we shared was true. You only used to get what you wanted. My father's trust."
Visions of their past flashed through her mind. It was true. She had been happy during the ti they were together. She had been floating in cloud nine, wanting to spend the rest of her life with him.
Fortunately, she woke up from that dreadful dream. She discovered the hell that she was about to enter into before it was too late. She had escaped his clutches.
"I admit. I used you to get to your father's wealth. But I regret the way I treated you. I am sorry that I lost you." He wore a mournful look, pleading for her forgiveness. "I am truly sorry for how I treated you. But I do love you."
He thought that by changing his tactics, he might win her trust back. It was that or using force. But he would resort to the latter after exhausting all other efforts.
"You don't know anything about love. An evil man like you is not capable of love." She told him in spite.
She would never fall again into his trap. She would never believe any more of his lies. "Now, step away from the door." She asked him calmly, barely containing her anger.
"But I do. I still love you." He told her as he stepped forward, wanting to hold her in his arms again.
"Don't co closer." She uttered, suddenly alard with his movent. She did not like the way he was looking at her. He seed up to no good. "Step away."
She quickly glanced around her, stepping back, checking her surrounding. She also considered her options if Nick decided to do sothing untoward to her.
"Why? Am I frightening you?" He continued to walk closer to her, unable to control himself anymore. He wanted a taste of her lips. He had to have her in his arms. "You always love my kisses."
"Stay back," Dani warned him, sensing that she was almost running out of place to go. "Stop this nonsense before I call the police."
She knew she found herself cornered, but she was not easily giving up. She was ready to fight if needed. She was not afraid to defend herself against any assault.
"Well, what will you tell them? That I stole a kiss." Nick taunted her as he stopped a few feet away from her.
Another commotion was happening just outside the office. Nick was unaware since he had his attention focused on her. He knew he had caught her, but he was careful with his next move.
"I will do more than that. I will make sure that you will rot in jail." She told him with contempt. She truly hated his existence.
She tried to slip away from him, but he grabbed her before she could get away. She maneuvered against his grip, but he was quick. He was able to foresee what she had planned.
"You are not getting away from that easily." He tightened his hold on her arms and pinned her to the wall behind her.
"Let go of ." She twisted and turned, trying to loosen his grip on her, but she could not get enough space to move. "You are truly despicable."
She waited for an opportunity to strike back at him when she stopped resisting, his grip on her slightly loosened. She grabbed the chance and twisted her way out of his clutches.
"Let show you how despicable I can be." He ran after her, but she dodged his attack. She used his montum to her advantage, making him fall to the floor. Then, she moved to her exit.
But before Dani could escape and storm out of the room, the door had suddenly burst open, revealing a raging bull ready to charge on the waving red flag.
