Dorothy was stunned for a while. Soon after that, she understood what Credence truly meant.
Back then, although the way he humiliated her was quite outrageous, it was, at the very least, normal and within an acceptable range for her.
But… just the thought of what he wanted at present made her feel very distressed.
At least, for now, she was sure that he did not love her or have her in his heart. She could not accept it! She really couldn’t.
Dorothy continued to tremble, her heart filled with emotions. She could not do anything against his control. Her soft lips rubbed against his tight trousers, and her heart hurt immensely from this intense humiliation!
“Credence Scott, must you force me to do this?”
Dorothy raised her head in disbelief. Her tears had long dried, and she was very upset. She looked at him with her swollen eyes and stared at his tired but charming face. It was pitiful and also ridiculous for her to kneel at him in such a sorry state.
What kind of a man had she fallen in love with?
He was a mature man, yet he was still so unscrupulous.
“You don’t want to?”
“You said that you loved me deeply. Are you not willing to do even such a small favor?”
He gazed at Dorothy’s deathly pale face with a gloomy look. It was the same ruthless look he always had. He smiled slightly, and his cruel words mocked her, like sharp daggers, piercing into her heart.
Once he became cruel, every single word from him was fatal to her!
Dorothy finally understood that if she tried to go against Credence, she would always be defeated at once! She would always be the loser.
The pain she felt in her heart caused her to panic. Her eyes were filled with tears again, as she faced his cold demeanour. She hurriedly blinked away her tears, not wanting to seem weak. She looked straight at his dark and cold eyes, his indifferent chin, strong chest, sturdy waist, and lastly, her gaze swept towards the belt on his pants…
Her blurry gaze fixed on his shiny belt, but Dorothy actually understood in an instant. She looked up and looked into his dark eyes, it was so indifferent that no emotions could be seen from it. She put on a faint smile and said, “Credence, if I really give you what you want, will you promise to let me go, and that you would never interfere in my relationship with Juelz?”
In truth, Juelz and herself were innocent! They did not have any romantic trysts.
But at this moment, her feelings for Credence had completely died. She no longer cared whether her words would hurt him or not. On the contrary, the more hurt he was, the happier she would be. She could feel a strange joy arise within herself, as if she was finally triumphant over him?
Why should she always be inferior to him? And had to revere and flatter him in such a degrading manner?
It was only because she loved him unconditionally!
When she finally made up her mind to give up loving him, to give up being his slave, then, he was nobody to her anymore.
Credence was stunned for a few seconds.
Was Dorothy actually going to agree to his absurd idea? Just for the sake of being in a legitimate relationship with Juelz?
He stood there, tall and firm, and continued to look down on her from above. He stared at her indifferently, with his handsome face emotionless. Just like that, he glared at her coldly, at those soft lips of hers, the soft lips that spouted such shameless words. After a while, he pursed his thin lips tightly, and did not utter a word.
After a long time, he chuckled lowly and said, “Dorothy, you’re so naive. Do you think I will let you go after just once? I am a businessman, and I never do business that results in my loss. That’s my principle!”
“What… what do you mean by that?”
Dorothy’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she was so angry that her body trembled. She bit her lips tightly, and soon, bright red blood oozed out of her delicate skin.
She raised her head, staring fiercely at this man who went back on his words. Under his indifferent gaze, her small face slowly turned from pallid to purple. Tears rolled down the corners of her reddened eyes, but she maintained her smile. She then sneered quietly, “Credence, is it fun to play such games? Fine, you are a businessman, and you don’t want to do business that results in your loss. Then give me a clear answer. How many times do you want to do it, before you would let me go? Five times, ten times, or a hundred times?!”
To Credence, he knew that Dorothy had always been shy and conservative about such matters… Yet at this moment, she was willing to risk everything for Juelz!
“Heh, Juelz is just an idiot. Do you really think doing all of this is worth it?”
Credence’s heart was suddenly filled with raging anger, that the veins in his neck bulged. He clutched Dorothy’s neck with one hand, then he lifted her up in the air and flung her onto the big bed fiercely!
D*mn! He really wanted to kill her. He wanted her to die!
Dorothy was flung so hard that the back of her head hit the bedside frame. She was in so much pain that she gasped, but she endured it and did not weep. Her slender fingers clutched the white sheets under her, and she closed her eyes in a daze. Tears flowed down her eyes, but her hair blocked them from being seen.
“Credence, he may be an idiot to you, but to me, he’s the only man who treats me well. I believe that even if the whole world betrayed me, he would never… Why can’t I cherish a man like him?”
“Credence, I’ve had enough of my unreciprocated warmth towards your frigid behaviour. After experiencing this torturous, violent marriage for four years, I now want to enjoy being loved and pampered by a man… Is that too much to ask?”
“Fine! You can leave after you satisfy me!”
“As for the amount of times I want us to do it, it’s up to me!”
Credence smiled coldly, and his towering body suddenly pressed down on Dorothy.
He had not touched her wonderful body for so many days, and could not, nor wanted to suppress his primal desires…
He lowered his head and bit Dorothy’s tender ears with his frigid lips, gnawing at them brutally until she bled. Her blood tasted sweet, but did not satiate him, and he fiercely tore away the clothes on her body.
Argh!
Whenever Credence was cruel, Dorothy could only feel pain.
…
Benjamin was holding Credence’s phone in the corridor, and it was ringing non-stop. He looked at the closed door in front of him awkwardly, not knowing if he should disturb Credence and Dorothy.
Just like Credence, Benjamin was a man too. He knew that Credence was domineering, sexually repressed, and infuriated. Hence, it was obvious what Credence would do to Dorothy.
Marvin drove Juelz to the hospital to get his internal injuries treated, leaving Jonathan and Benjamin alone.
“Hey, it’s so late. What does that b*tch Rosalie want with Credence?”
Jonathan frowned and complained unhappily, “Benjamin, Credence is in the mood for enjoyment. If you dare disturb his affairs, he will kill you! Listen to me! Tell him that Rosalie is looking for him after he’s done with his business.”
Benjamin’s face turned somewhat dark, “But… Mr. Scott told me that if Miss Rosalie calls him, I must inform him as soon as possible.”
“Apart from looking coy and crying in front of Credence, what else could she do? Benjamin, just ignore her.”
Hence, Benjamin listened to Jonathan’s advice. He simply rejected Rosalie’s call. And at the same moment, Dorothy’s mobile phone rang in the bedroom.
As Dorothy was in a bad mood these days, she had switched her ringtone into a poignant tune.
Upon hearing the singer’s sorrowful song, Credence lost his desire, despite his earlier excitement. Yet he was unwilling to let the woman pressed under him go. He then suckled at the wound beneath her lips hard, satisfied only after hearing her pained moans. Then, he let go of his vice-like grip on her and said indifferently, “Answer the phone!”
