Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 33 Be A Lamb, Molly

"You've brought me here to see him. Why? What did you want to prove?"

Brian walked straight towards her and locked his brooding eyes with her. After a short pause, he replied in a tender and persistent tone,"You are my girl. And no one can hurt you except for me!"

His sentence made Molly even more scared instead of making her feel flattered. Trembling, she inquired,"Why? Why did you want to do this? Was it just because I entered your room by accident?"

"Yes, that is the reason!" The reply came without hesitation or without a shard of care. "Never be so careless again. Do you understand?"

"I told you I entered your room by accident. At that moment, I had no idea how to escape..." And I found out your room was unlocked... So..."

"So what?" Brian asked in surprise. When he looked towards Molly, she had almost lost her mind and was on the verge of crying out. He sighed and continued,"I don't want to know your excuse, nor do I care about it. The only thing you need to know is that you, Molly, are my girl! You aren't allowed to refuse that. Ever!"

He said those words softly but the indifference in his voice was evident. He rose one of his rough hands slowly and touched her cheek gently. "Just be a lamb around me, and I will treat you with love and tenderness."

Stunned by his attitude, Molly gazed at Brian. She had been pushed to the very edge of the abyss that he had created and desperately wanted to escape. But she felt like all her strength had ran out and all she could do was let the cold aura envelope her, driving her out of breath..

"I really abhor anyone who does not follow my orders, you know? David was just a warning! Be a lamb Molly!" He lowered his eyes and saw her trembling in fear. Brian felt an immense wave of fury surround

him because of the terror he had instilled in her. But his eyes were full of ambiguous coldness.

Molly bit her lips as she considered everything she was facing. She nodded after a while, and her eyes were closed as she had given up on all struggles and accepted his proposals. "I will obey you the entire month. Please don't hurt my family!"

He was glad she had decided to follow his orders. He removed a lock of hair from in front of her head and said in great pleasure,"Now you've made the right choice. I like clever girls."

She had to swallow everything he said. She wasn't sure how powerful or omnipotent Brian was. After looking at David, she knew she couldn't offend Brian. If he could have destroyed David just like that, how could she, a simple girl with no power, hope to do anything at all!

In the Long Family House on Dragon Island, Sitting in the garden of Lustrous Hall, Eric was scrolling his mobile screen casually. Underneath his casual actions, however, were a plethora of disturbing matters.

Lenny was leaning against a pillar in the corridor with her arms crossed, looking at her Young Master with some frustration. As his shadow and guard, she had no idea when he had become a totally different person. He now remained silent while alone. What on Earth could have happened to him? What had changed him?

She was lost in her thoughts and suddenly saw a lady walking towards her, dressed in home attire. This was Eric's mother. Lenny stood straight hurriedly and bowed,"Mrs. Long!"

Smart smiled and nodded in kindness and walked towards Eric. "Are all congressional matters taken care of?"

Eric shrugged his shoulders and arrogantly replied,"Yes." At that moment, he suddenly became his usual evil self instead of the silent gloomy person he had been a second ago.

"I heard that.... Becky has left. Is that true? " Smart asked softly, trying to be both calm and curious. Eric curled his mouth in response which only dissatisfied her more and she continued,"Eric, it's not necessary to fight Brian just for a girl.

Hearing his mother, he was a little frustrated and his eyes dimmed. But this lasted only for a short while after which, he shrugged his shoulders and said,"That's impossible! Why would I fight with him just for a girl? Besides, if he has strong feelings for her, then even if I try my best, I won't be able to get her..."

Smart let out a sigh in her mind and said,"If you really love her, I support your decision as long as you have a fair competition. But if you don't love her enough, you better..."

"Mom...." Eric interrupted in a totally different style, pouting,"I know that. I can handle it myself!"

"You should be careful!" She had always thought that Eric had inherited his concealed atrocity from his father.

All of a sudden, he changed the topic and became gentle. He looked at his mother and asked seriously,"Mom... Are you happy?"

"What are you talking about?" Smart was doubtful with his seriousness. Then she smiled and nodded,"Your father is a very good husband and treats me well."

"Treats you well...." Eric repeated her words in a whisper. Something from the past came up in his mind suddenly and he wanted to turn up his nose and laugh. But he hid his emotions and believing in his mother, said with a smile,"I will pursue my love and always be happy just like you, Mom!"

Smart smiled with an unconditional love, and said:"If you take your relationship with Becky seriously, you will be really happy!"

Although there were other meanings implied in her words, Eric didn't want to think about them. He had always wondered that if his uncle hadn't left Dragon Island, who would be the next leader of the island? He or Brian?

His father would give up his power. But, he would not! Not ever!

What his brother wanted, he wanted it too. No matter what the cost was!
