Chapter 31 I’ll Give You 300 Million
Despite her injured finger, Adriana said in a fury, “If that’s all, I don’t give a fuck. But now you’re getting back at the lawyer who took the case? You really are the most detestable person I’ve ever met.”
Peter remained impassive, “So what? It’s none of your business.”
“Well I’m afraid that I’m gonna let you down. It is now.” He could do whatever he wanted to the others, but not Tessa, not even her brother.
She’s going to, and she will, show Theresa what kind of a person he really was.
“Really?”
Peter advanced on her, “You’ve lost Hale Cobb Law Firm, so how are you going to interfere? You’re just kicking against the pricks, reckless and pointless.”
“We’ll see about that.” Adriana was about to bend and pick up the portfolio, but he stepped on it before she reached it.
“Are you trying to defy me?” Peter sneered.
She stood up in order to look at him in the eyes without a flinch, “So what if I am?”
“Do you really think I won’t do anything to you?”
He stepped towards her again, so she stumbled backwards. However, she bumped into the bed, and then she lost her balance, falling on it.
Peter knelt on the bed with both arms around her, “Throwing yourself at me? Well well, seems like we are the same, both lack moral values. You’re enjoying it, aren’t you? Seducing your best friend’s fiancé.”
“Stop that nonsense. Men like you would only disgust me.” Adriana had hurt her left hand, so she had to push him with only one hand, which couldn’t move him a bit.
“Disgust you?”
Amused by her embarrassed look, he fingered her hair and said with flirtation, “I don’t have to remind you of the night on the cruise, do I? You were begging me to fuck you, remember?”
His intimate words only made Adriana feel even more embarrassed and humiliated.
Her cheeks, which were as white as those of a bisque doll, were flushed scarlet like red roses.
She tried to avoid eye contact with him, “It was … an accident that day. It’s not like I did that on purpose.”
“Who can be sure about that, eh? If so, what about today? Bursting into my lounge.”
He looked at her and said so. She was biting her lips, her face turning redder because of anger and embarrassment.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
“I came today only to …”
“To beg me to save Hale Cobb Law Firm? And what can you offer me in this trade? Your worthless body?”
Peter interrupted and sneered, “You are not even a virgin. What makes you think that I would be interested in you?”
Irritated by his humiliation, Adriana felt shortness of breath and an eager to beat him up.
However she couldn’t.
“You narcissistic asshole! I have absolutely no interest in you. You are so disgusting, Peter. I’m afraid I’d get HIV from a womanizer like you.”
“You are so dead, Adriana.”
Enraged by her words, Peter grabbed her collar abrasively.
“Angry already? I’m right about that, aren’t I?” Adriana sneered, looking at him with undisguised contempt.
“Got a sharp tongue, eh?”
He had always considered himself a clever man, but it annoyed him that Adriana could always make a sharp retort to him, so he bent to bite her lip.
“What the-!”
Feeling a sting on her lip, she pushed him away, “Are you a dog? It hurts when you bite you know!”
She gently stroked her lip with her finger, and found blood on it.
“Defy me one more time, and I’ll take you now.” Peter felt so humiliated by being defied by a woman again and again that he couldn’t control his emotion for the first time.
“How … how dare you!”
Adriana put her arms in front of her chest in defense, for fear that he might do something to her.
“Come on, you’re not a virgin anymore. You were begging me to fuck you, remember? I can still picture your horny face …”
An unexpected slap in his face broke him off in mid-sentence.
With his face cocked to one side, Peter looked gloomy.
Damn it. He couldn’t remember how many times he had been slapped by this woman.
This is intolerable!
In a fury, he looked at Adriana right in the eyes, and then her clothes had all been ripped away and thrown onto the cashmere tug.
“Peter … Stop!”
Seemed to be beyond tears, Adriana made an effort to struggle, but he was way too strong.
“You brought this on yourself.”
The look on her reminded him of a memory from five years ago. Although the clip was vague, it was rather unforgettable.
All these were extremely similar to that day five years ago.
That day, the woman was weeping and begging like this as well. But those tears and begging were like poppies, lethally attractive, making him more excited than ever.
The growing familiarity arose, which made him terribly possessive of her.
Only then did he realize why he had never felt attracted to Theresa, because it had been Adriana in his head all along.
It had always been her! Always!
Crazy thoughts began to occupy his head, and Peter leaned forwards to kiss her, passionately and domineeringly, with his hands clasped around her head so tight that she could barely breathe.
“Uh …”
Just when her mind went completely blank, he entered her with one swift movement. She twitched slightly, with her eyes set on Peter, and then her body stiffened.
Her widen eyes reflected his face, as well as a look of desperation.
She gazed misty-eyed into the air, while tears began to stream down her face.
“Stop …”
She shook her head and cried in a constricted voice, “Stop … Peter … How could you do this to me …”
Adriana never knew her life would be turned upside down simply because she tried to save a child.
And she would be sleeping with her best friend’s fiancé. She needed to pay for it, and she deserved it.
This time, Peter had been torturing her for a long time, as if he were deliberately punishing her.
If only that was all.
Somehow Adriana felt a sense of pleasure and ecstasy sweeping through her body, and she was obsessive about the sensation.
She’s out of her mind!
She tried to avoid making sounds by clenching her teeth, but the hot breath she let out from her nose gave her away.
