She feels as if she had a very long dream, in her dream, there is a man seeing her from a very far place, his sad eyes make her very painful.
But she can’t see that man clearly no matter how hard she tries to get close to him in the dream.
Who can possess such a pair of sorrowful eyes? She is so sad and this sorrow mood wakes her up. When she opens her eyes, what she can see is the delicate and graceful floor from Europe, suddenly, she stuns.
She comes back to her sense after a long time, she was kidnapped yesterday in the wedding ceremony by Edward and then she was taken to this strange island.
She hears a heavy and deep voice when she is ready to get up.
“You wake up?”
Her heart suddenly shocked and she sees a handsome face, it is Edward Smith.
The events of last night now has come back to her again, she can’t help biting her trembling lips to get away from him, but just as she is about to sit up, a resistance comes from her waist is drawing her into a warm and broad chest, like a throw in the arms, and making her cheek red and angry.
She keeps her lips bitten tightly and says very coldly, “Let me go!”He looks straight at her, as if he wants to see her mind, but after about a minute, he suddenly smiles, “Okay!” Then he lets her go.
She is surprised.
But it is only for a moment, and she gets out of bed to find that the room is decorated exactly like the villa bedroom they had lived in, even with the same decorations on her old dressing table.
The sheets and the paintings on the walls are what she likes very much… On the bedside table is a picture of them, when they took that picture in the school, they are so young.
The astringency is spreading in her taste buds, and her eyes are moist. She bites her lips to divert her feelings with pain.
Now the most important thing is about John Blake and two lovely kids.
But now she is in this strange island where she can’t leave without Edward’s permission.
“Why do you bring me here?””Don’t you always say that you want to live in house facing the sea with spring flowers blossoming, so l have bought the house 5 years ago when my company went public, l prepared to take you here at that time…” But when he got back, he found a divorce settlement.
Edward’s eyes become a bit dark when he thinks of this. He becomes more determined that he will not let her go any more.
Alice is shocked. She doesn’t expect that Edward could remember her random words. But so what? There are too many unbridgeable chasms between them.
“I want to see John. Where is he now? I want to see him! ”
Hearing this series of questions about another man, Edward is very angry, but he smiles, “Don’t worried, he is fine, nothing is wrong.”
Such answer does not make Alice relieved when she thinks of what had happened yesterday. Only she sees John is safe, can she believe he is all right.
“I want to see him!”
Edward walks close to her with his hands touching her bright fair face, and looks at her with gentle eyes.
“There’s no hurry,” he says softly.
She wants to say something, but she hears the voice, “There are just only two people here, you and me! Don’t you think it is very nice?”
“No.”
Without even thinking about it, she steps back and replies obstinately.
But the further she retreats, the closer he pushes.
Until her back is against the wall and she has no way out, finally, she is locked between his strong arms as if she is being stared by a hunter, which makes her confused and uneasy.
But she wants to leave Edward when she decides to marry John Blake. She wants to give up the love with Edward completely which has no future.
But why does he have to force his way into her world?”So you don’t want to stay with me?” He stares at her with his deep and handsome eyes, but fear and determination can also be seen in his eyes.
Alice bites her lips and keeps silent.
“Not knowing the truth about five years ago, I’m not ready to let you go when I see you again. And now that I have known the truth, I won’t let you go, Alice!”
Edward whispers in her ear with his warm right hand running over her lovely eyebrows and her lips.
“You have always loved me, haven’t you?”
This sentence let Alice feels a shock, Alice keeps looking at Edward whose eyes are full of expectations, this man, Alice has loved him for 7 years, but today, when she faces these things happened after being separated for 5 years, she gets very disappointed, sad and so grateful.
But Alice is no longer the girl who can pay anything for her destination.
She closes her eyes and opens them again, says calmly, “You are wrong, I didn’t love you five years ago after leaving, thank you for helping me do those things, but for us, it is impossible.”
His smiling face becomes stiff at the beginning of her words, he feels something has stocked in her heart and is so painful that she almost can’t breathe.
No, it’s not…
She seems to have the last hope and grasp his arms tightly, then she said, “If you don’t love me, why would you do that when you in the villa?”
“Thank you! Mr. Edward. You should know that that every woman will be grateful and willing to marry him if she is saved from an extreme situation by a man”
Alice’s cool and sharp words come to Edward’s ears word by word, the quieter she is, the more painful he become.
“Why you treat me like this? Just because I have believed that photos wrongly?” Edward becomes so crazy, he forces to kiss her. He seems to want to put her into his body in general.
She struggles, but his hands are firmly under her jaw, she has to force herself to bear his attack.
“Let me go!”
He responds with another round of deep kisses, feeling her anger, he slows down and becomes gentle.
When he isn’t looking, she bites her teeth and looks at him angrily.
“Alice, I didn’t protect you well several years ago, it was my wrong, but please don’t blame me now, I can do everything for you just with the hope that you can stay with me.”
Her throat becomes so dry with his pleading words, but she turns away from his wistful eyes as she thinks of something.
