A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0603

Arianne felt slightly guilty now that her thoughts were exposed. She was too afraid to meet Mark’s eye. “I... I won’t stay. That’s not all, I’m taking my grandmother with me. Even if my grandmother insists on staying, do you dare to confess everything you’ve done? You’ll give her a stroke if she discovers the truth one day! Don’t burn the bridges. Please be kind and leave my family alone, okay? I won’t pick on what had happened in the past, but let’s just draw a clear line between us, okay? I really... I really don’t see any way for us to be together...”

Although Mark was long aware of Arianne’s promise to return to the Tremont Estate was only a half-hearted one, he was still provoked by her words. They could not draw a clear line between them. He was already at his limit for letting her leave his side for so long, and yet, she would jump at any opportunity just to leave him. A chaotic mix of complicated emotions swirled in his mind. He took off his glasses and threw them on the floor before pulling her to him.

“You don’t see any way for us to be together? And I thought I was cold-blooded. Your blood is obviously much colder than mine. How many years has it been? Do you really think you can forget me just like that? Can you really sever all ties with me just like that? You’re not affected at all, are you? Do you dare to say you have no feelings at all for me? Look at me!”

Arianne looked straight into his eyes that were brimming with rage and slowly waning patience. She pushed him away fearfully. There was only one thought left in her mind at this moment, she had to run away from him!

“Let me go or I’ll scream!”
