Love Together, Be With You Never

"I ... I didn't.... Kieran fainted just now. I ... was just giving him an artificial respiration!" I tried my best to explain, but I couldn't help but feel guilty. I didn't dare to meet Armand's gaze and didn't dare to imagine

what he was thinking.

"I know!" Armand was calm, surprisingly.

I suddenly looked up in confusion. Armand continued, "Mr. Charles hasn't had any sleep for a week!"

I was shocked.

"Why doesn't he...?" I was just about to ask him why Kieran didn't sleep for a week, but Marlon's angry shout came out off and on.

"What is Marlon doing here?" I asked Armand.

"To buy you!"

I was lost for words.

I snorted inwardly. This was not the first time that Marlon wanted to buy me. In the past, he said he wanted to be my sugar daddy, but now he was wiser. He directly turned to Kieran and wanted to buy me from him.

My heart wrenched in pain. What did I mean to Marlon? For him, I was only one of the goods that could be traded?

Then, all my feelings, dignity and emotions didn't matter at all, right?

In spite of my thoughts, I couldn't help but get closer, wondering what he was saying. Maybe he would be gentler than I expected.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Marlon walked out in a huff. Marlon strode out with an angry face. Before I could give way, he just grabbed me and left.

In the elevator.

I tried hard to shake off his hand but failed, "Marlon, what are you doing? Let go of me! We're at the Universal Group. Please behave yourself!"

All of a sudden, he leaned over.

I was fiercely pressed against the wall. Marlon subdued me and bit my lips hard. His tongue intruded and plundered every inch of my mouth. He was so fierce that I was almost unable to breathe. It seemed that he wished to tear me apart and gulp me down.

Blazing heat, blank, and chaos overwhelmed me, making me forget to resist. Because it was miserable for me to realize that I had fallen in deep love with him. So, I could never truly refuse him, though he might hurt me.

How pathetic I was!

I thought that Marlon would kiss me to suffocation, but luckily, before the elevator arrived, he let go of me. I was dizzy and dragged away by him.

It was crowded at the Universal group now. Or it could be said that there were people everywhere.

I didn't want to be recognized and covered my face with my hand. Apparently, the engagement of Kieran and me was trending 1st place and had as a real shock for them. Anyway, they only knew me as Kieran's girlfriend. Or maybe they would just regard me as Kieran's kept woman or even a pet.

And who would take it seriously?

But now Kieran was engaged to me. The news was shocking and devastating to many, as if it was the end of the world.

"Heavens, how could Mr. Charles really be engaged to Rachael? And it's in two days. This ... this is impossible!"

"It is possible. This is trending first place right now. It should be true. Anyway, who dared to spread rumors about Mr. Charles?"

"Rachael must be overjoyed. It is Mr. Charles! He is the very definition of perfection!"

Everyone was talking about my engagement to Kieran. The more they talked about it, the more indignant they got. It was as if I had earned hundreds of millions from my engagement with Kieran. Alright, frankly speaking, it was me who benefited more from the engagement. In this world, all the women wanted to be Kieran's woman, let alone his fiancée.

No one could deny that.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from my hand. Only then did I regain my senses. Marlon was wearing an extremely sour look. His handsome face was now stern and gloomy, as if it would crack any moment. Right now, there were people everywhere, and I didn't dare to struggle. But Marlon directly stuffed me into his car and left for a bar. When I got off, I realized that it was where I first met him and had sex with him.

My heart wrenched as my face darkened. I turned around and was about to leave, while Marlon dragged me into the bar with an even colder look.

After leaving Kieran's office, Marlon didn't say a single word along the way. He was like a silent iceberg and cracks were now gradually emerging.

Marlon threw me onto the sofa.

He stared at me like a devil, "Rachael, do you remember this place?"

I turned my head, not wanting to reply.

How could I forget this place, this damn place where all the love and hatred started? If possible, I really wished I had never been here.

It was daytime. The bar was not open, though the door of it was not closed. The waiter saw us enter and was about to drive us away, but when he saw Marlon's face, his expression instantly changed. Quietly, he pulled his companions away. Soon, there were only Marlon and I in the huge and silent bar.

The dim light enveloped us.

Marlon forced me to face him. We were so close that I could clearly feel the air he exhaled.

"Do you?" Marlon questioned again, "This is where you forced me to have sex with you!"

My expression instantly froze. The first night between us was always a soft spot of me. After that night, he kept looking down on me, because I forced myself on him.

"So what? You could have refused!" I looked into his eyes.

Marlon snorted coldly. By the dim light, I couldn't see his look clearly, but his gloomy aura was more and more overwhelming. He tightened his grip, "Rachael, did you forget that I was drunk? Otherwise, you wil never get the chance!"

I was lost for words.

I couldn't turn my face away, so I simply closed my eyes. To be honest, I didn't know what Marlon brought me here for, but I felt the hot whips of panic.

"Rachael, I know you still remember that night. That night, you cried so hard. You hugged me and forced me to have sex with you. I don't blame you for all of this!" Marlon stated. I closed my eyes and couldn't see his expression. His voice sounded distant, yet really close sometimes. It was so close that I was worried if something was about to reveal.
