What did he want to do? How could the woman be so naive even after she had two men?
Was she a good actress, or was she stupid? Michael sat in the back seat. Elena wanted to avoid him, so she shrunk back.
However, it was a small space, so no matter how she tried, they were still very close to each other. Michael leaned back to block Elena’s petite body so that she could not move. She struggled, but her hands were still tied. She could only lay beside him in distress.
“Eldest Young Master Williams…”
“What do I want with you?” Michael raised his long finger to puff his cigarette. It was a movement that would cause women to go crazy when they saw it. So, Elena refused to look at him, no matter how handsome he was. He was already with Ava.
However, even though she was unwilling to look at him, it did not mean that Michael would allow that. Suddenly, his hands reached out to her to unbutton her shirt.
“Why don’t you take a guess?”
“I don’t want to guess!” Elena, despite her forced breathing and fear, tried to feign a calm facade.
“Your taste is so unique that you would like someone else’s woman!”
She thought that he would throw him out if she angered him. However, Michael was unfazed when he heard that. He smiled at her.
“Didn’t you hear? That’s what I like!”
He flicked his fingers and undid two buttons on Elena’s clothes. The fabric was soft and silky, and it slid down from her neck to expose a large area of her snowy-fair shoulder. Her breathing labored. No one had been able to see through Eldest Young Master Williams.
He placed his hand on her neck, and his fingertips traced a line along her neck. The terrible experience in the hospital haunted her. She could not breathe when he grabbed her neck then. The shadow of death enveloped her, and she was nearly at the gates of hell…
Michael had only pressed her neck with his fingertips, but she looked as if she could not breathe. Her chest moved up and down, and it somehow accentuated her perfect curves. Michael had a satisfied grin on his face. His fingertips lingered on her neck, and finally, traced down her neck.
“No!” Elena struggled violently.
There was a tingling sensation on her wrist, but she could not break the rope. She looked at Michael and wanted to beg him for mercy, but the bitter cold in his eyes made her swallow her words. If words could soften his heart, then he would not be called a wolf-like man! It was all about his preference, and he had never bothered about other people’s feelings!
Finally, Elena chose to close her eyes and ignore him; she hoped that he would let her go when he was bored. She had been through the same situation before when he only wanted to scare her. However, what Michael did next was beyond her imagination. He pressed down on her, and his action made her realize that the wolf king would never stop at instilling fear!
…
Two hours later, a well-dressed man climbed out of the car. The rope around Elena’s hand had loosened, and she slid off the leather seat abruptly. Her eyes were bleak as she grabbed onto the clothes on her body.
She was finally convinced that he had changed. He was no longer the Eldest Young Master Williams she had known in the past, and the only trace of warmth that had existed in him had vanished completely. The only thing left was his icy demeanor.
Someone knocked on the window from the outside, and Ewan’s voice sounded impersonal. “Miss Garcia, please leave after five minutes.”
The command was not only ruthless, but it was also meant to humiliate her. She was only given five minutes to tidy herself. After that, regardless of whether she was dressed or not, Ewan would open the door and chuck her out.
Elena bit her lips; she was drained. She painstakingly put on her clothes and fixed her hair before she pushed the door open. She dragged her sore legs as she got out of the car. She could no longer sense Michael’s presence. Perhaps, he had gone into another vehicle and left. He had ditched her after he had had enough of her.
“Miss Garcia, the hotel is just across the street.”
Ewan glanced at her indifferently and said, “You can go to the hotel to find your friends or go to the street to take a taxi. We will not be accompanying you!”
A bag was tucked into her arms before Ewan slammed the car door shut. Then, he got into the car with another man that Elena did not recognize. The car engine started, and they went out of sight in the blink of an eye. She was left alone in the cold evening wind. Her already thin body looked even more delicate. It hurt tremendously!
Michael had terrifying strength! After their long tussle in the car, she was exhausted and had difficulty walking. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she hobbled toward the brightly lit area. Her legs trembled as if she would buckle at any minute. The lights in front seemed so close and yet so far. Despair filled her as she covered the seemingly short distance.
She wanted to cry, but she knew there was no point in that. She thought that they had called it even, and they would never interact with each other again, but she was too naive. Their interaction was fast and hard on her! What was the last thing he said before he left her?
“Who is better between Second Young Master Sharp and I? Hmm?”
That was like a sharp sword that stabbed through her heart tens of thousands of times! Elena could not bear the soreness in her legs and crouched on the ground. She had no idea who was better because there was nothing to compare. She had only been with him!
Elena wailed, but tears refused to come. Her sobs were dry and cracked as she held onto her knees. Her body ached, and it shook in the wind!
Suddenly, her mobile phone rang. Elena opened her eyes and took her phone out from her bag. When she saw the caller ID, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“Henry?”
“Caleb didn’t take you home.” Henry sounded anxious. “Where are you?”
“I… I was not in a good mood. I went out for a walk by myself. I will go home now.”
“Where are you? I’ll come by and pick you up.” He was worried about her as she was alone at such late hours. His voice delivered warmth to her cold and desperate heart.
Elena’s lips lifted unconsciously. “I’m still near the hotel.”
“Okay, don’t run around, I’ll come over now.” Henry had already returned to his apartment. From the background noise, he probably took the car keys and went out of the door.
Elena felt slightly better and comforted by his actions and words.
She nodded to herself. “Okay, I won’t run around. I’ll… wait for you.”
