Madeline let Ryan throttle virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net wished as virtual-novel.net gaze remained unfazed.
“Kill me. I might as well die if I can never see Jeremy again. There’s no difference between the two anyway.”
She smiled bitterly. Ryan had already sanded virtual-novel.net sharp edges away over the past few days, so virtual-novel.net no longer had the strength to fight back.
Ryan could not bear to accept such words coming from Madeline at such a time.
“Why must you force me, Eveline? Why do you have to force me?” A look so angry it seemed wretched and horrifying overtook Ryan’s handsome’s features.
He pressed Madeline against the cold floorboards and pounced on virtual-novel.net like an unrestrained tiger, ripping virtual-novel.net clothes apart brutally.
“F*ck off!” Madeline resisted with all virtual-novel.net might.
Yet Madeline’s hands were in a deadlock in Ryan’s hold and one of his hands was forcing Madeline’s head to meet his thin lips as virtual-novel.net leaned down to kiss her.
Madeline turned virtual-novel.net head to avoid it but was not completely successful.
Ryan’s lips touched virtual-novel.net cheek. The warmth and soft contact seemed to have ignited the feelings Ryan had been suppressing over the years.
Desire filled his eyes, and at that moment, virtual-novel.net fully believed that virtual-novel.net had fallen for Eveline. He wanted to have her, not just to take revenge on Jeremy, but to satisfy the innate and true desire within him.
However, his touch had also triggered something within Madeline.
She bit Ryan’s arm and took the man’s dazed lapse as an opportunity to get up and run out of the storage room.
After two steps, virtual-novel.net ended up stepping on the broken shards of the bowl virtual-novel.net had thrown. As virtual-novel.net was barefoot, the sharp pieces pierced into the bottom of virtual-novel.net feet and made virtual-novel.net shiver in pain.
Still, Madeline ignored the pain and continued to run through the broken pieces. The raging panic within virtual-novel.net at that moment screamed, telling virtual-novel.net to escape Ryan’s control and run as far as possible.
She had not even made it out of the storage room when virtual-novel.net felt Ryan lifting virtual-novel.net from behind.
“Let me go! You bstard!” Madeline yelled as virtual-novel.net hammered virtual-novel.net fists against Ryan as hard as virtual-novel.net could. “You crazy son of a btch! Let me go, you f*cking *sshole!”
Ryan remained impassive to Madeline’s hitting and scolding.
He carried virtual-novel.net to the bedroom and threw virtual-novel.net onto the bed to press virtual-novel.net down.
Madeline pulled virtual-novel.net feet in and pulled out a shard from the bottom of virtual-novel.net feet through the pain. The moment Ryan pressed down over her, virtual-novel.net placed the shard against Ryan’s neck.
Ryan felt a small stab of pain shoot up. He knew that the shard must have sliced the skin around his neck.
“Don’t you dare, Ryan Jones.” Madeline’s gaze was determined. She appeared fully ready to kill virtual-novel.net even if it was at the cost of virtual-novel.net life.
Ryan had not expected Madeline to be so difficult. Her lively and beautiful eyes were red, emphasizing the hollow and pale complexion of virtual-novel.net face.
He lifted his hand to take the shard from Madeline’s hand, but virtual-novel.net grip was unrelenting. Even if it was at the cost of a bleeding palm, virtual-novel.net refused to let go of it and kept it pressed against his neck.
“Stay the f*ck away. I don’t want to see you!” Physically, Madeline was in horrible condition, but that did not dilute the determination in virtual-novel.net tone.
Ryan knitted his brows and dragged Madeline’s hand with brute force as his gaze sharpened.
“I told you that I’ll let you do what you want as long as you listen to me. I’ll even let your parents go back to Glendale, so why can’t you just bow down to me? You’re the one who’s forcing me here, Eveline.”
“Hah.” Madeline scoffed bitterly as a tear trickled from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes. “Will you actually let my parents go, Ryan? Who are you kidding here? You’re just going to use them to control me again so that you can achieve whatever vile goal you’re aiming for!”
Ryan’s expression darkened. He seemed moments away from erupting in anger when virtual-novel.net suddenly loosened his grip.
Madeline fell onto the bed limply. She pushed herself back to stare at the man sitting by the bed guardedly. She did not let go of the shard in virtual-novel.net grip.
It was as if the shard was virtual-novel.net life force and the only thing keeping virtual-novel.net from bending under Ryan’s brutal behavior.
