Annetta didn’t turn on the light. Even though she had been mentally prepared, her heart still thumped wildly beneath her chest as she approached him. The minute she reached his side, it was as if her heart was about to stop.
“Ethan, I’m sorry…” When she opened her mouth, she realized that she was so nervous that she could barely make a sound, and her voice seemed stuck in her throat.
The man suddenly got up from the sofa and picked her up with one hand.
His movements were too rough, and he knocked over the coffee table in front of the sofa. The table fell to the ground with a bang. Annetta was startled, but she didn’t dare to make a sound and huddled in the man’s arms nervously.
The man strode to the bed and threw her onto it.
All Annetta saw was boundless darkness and the man’s tall figure, like a bloodthirsty devil in the night.
Annetta felt as if she had returned to the night before her rebirth. That type of bone-chilling terror entered her heart. Her body trembled fiercely, “Don’t… don’t…”
The next second, the man’s tall body pressed down onto hers.
Howard knocked on the door anxiously, “Master!”
“Get lost!” The man’s voice was cold and violent, and the voice outside immediately disappeared.
Annetta did not leave the bed for three whole days.
This time, Ethan was really furious and punished her for three days and three nights in a row.
Annetta saw sunlight again three days later. She stood naked in front of the bathroom’s mirror. Her body was covered in all types of imprints, marks of the man’s displeasure and punishment towards her.
With a creak, the bathroom door opened, and Annetta instinctively trembled.
The man came in.
The man had carelessly removed his night robe and had flung it away, as she could see in the reflection in the mirror. He strolled in half-naked, revealing his muscular chest and waist…
Annetta hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to take a second look.
The man walked over and hugged her from behind. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and buried his lips in her neck.
Annetta’s entire body went rigid, but she didn’t dare to move.
After being forced into another round of sex in the bathroom, Annetta pushed against the man’s chest, panting.
After the man hugged her for a while, he looked down at the panting woman and asked, “Are you hungry?”
“Yes…”
“I’ll take you to lunch.”
Ethan had been feeding her the past few days since she was not allowed to leave the bed. Annetta once thought that she was being imprisoned again, like in her past life.
Annetta thought that she would have lunch in bed again, but she never expected Ethan to open the door to bring her out.
Annetta suddenly stopped in her tracks and asked nervously, “Ethan, can I change my clothes?”
She was a wearing light and almost transparent nightgown.
She had not expected Ethan to take her downstairs, so she had been caught off guard.
The man looked at her for half a second, and finally said gently, “No.”
Although his voice was very gentle and there was no trace of his violence from three days ago, his tone was so overbearing that she did not dare to ask for anything else.
Annetta pursed her lips. The man didn’t say anything else and led her downstairs.
Annetta felt as though a half-century had passed rather than three days as Ethan escorted her downstairs.
The food had been served even though there was no one in the dining room.
In a trance, she sat on Ethan’s lap as he fed her. She did not dare to resist at all and obediently opened her mouth to eat the food.
Perhaps he had finally allowed her to come downstairs for lunch because he was satisfied with her behaviour in the past three days.
However, Annetta knew that by breaking her promise, she had shattered the trust she had worked so hard to establish between herself and Ethan.
