A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0766

He put his knife and fork down and looked at her. “Now that we’re on the subject, let me clarify this with you, all at once. That’s how I used to think, I never planned on trusting any other woman. Of course, I only saw you as a child at the time, a strange, good-looking child... As you slowly grew older, I realized that my feelings for you had changed."

"One day, an idea came to me, if I raised you on my own, you would turn out to be pretty obedient and would not betray me. From that day onwards, I waited for the day you would become an adult. Unfortunately... you later fell in love with someone else. How could someone like me possibly put up with having someone else take away what should be rightfully mine? About Will... You’re not still hating me over that, are you? That’s fine too. It won’t matter once you’ve fallen in love with me completely. Let me reiterate once more, I don’t have any weird kinks. The first time I developed feelings for you was after you’d already entered puberty. You were not considered a ‘kid’ by then. I’m only ten years older than you, so put your suspicions away and stop imagining things!”

At the time, she was a little repulsed. Her revolt came purely from the fact that she refused to be manipulated by him, not simply because of Will.
