Chapter 45: Desire on the Sofa
Riley didn't expect that William would unexpectedly put himself in her shoes and speak for her, but it's clear that William didn't understand the situation and didn't know her abnormal relationship with Euan. Euan wrapped his hand around her thin waist, his fingers wrapping her waist strongly. Such action was clearly a bit too intimate that it made Riley feel quite uneasy.
But she felt so good in his arms; she could smell his faint tequila perfume that covered the smell of disinfectant on her body, which made her drown in his embrace.
Noticing the slight change of expression on Euan's face and Riley that clearly became docile, William somehow felt disturbed at heart.
Euan embraced Riley like he's protecting a rare treasure, his arms were a bit too strong that her shoulders hurt because of that, but Riley didn't say anything, she even paused all her attempts to break free. Even if he's just acting in front of William, she still wanted to hear the echo of her heartbeat in his embrace.
Was she being degrading?
She'd admit it for the moment that she was degrading for wanting to be by his side.
Just that one time, one last time, Riley allowed herself to be degrading and stay by his side again.
"It's our matter as husband and wife; you don't need to worry about it."
Euan coldly said that, he admitted what William said previously at heart, it was very to the point and it was even enough to make him speechless, but when did Euan ever lose in front of others?
Euan didn't give William any chance to interfere again, he just brought Riley in his arms, turned around and walked towards his car! He took big steps without hesitation and with anger and complicated feelings, and she nearly could hear his rapid heartbeat. Euan, could his heart beat faster too?
That's slightly unbelievable, she recalled that Euan was always cold-blooded and calm, he could always remain calm in face of anything, she had even thought that even if there's an earthquake one day, Euan would just hold his coffee cup without panicking as he watched a building collapse.
How could that kind of man's heart beat faster?
In his embrace, Riley turned her head and looked at William, she conveyed thank you from the bottom of her eyes, even if that thankful gaze made her look like she was asking for help.
William smiled warmly, telling her not to be afraid with his gaze, if Euan bullied her, he'd definitely do something about it.
Riley imagined his gaze, she almost smiled bitterly.
When she's thinking wildly, the bottom of her feet suddenly went to midair!
Riley lifted her head in surprise, when she saw Euan's deep eyes, Euan suddenly carried her up through her waist!
Euan's heart was filled with anger! Why would she still look back reluctantly! She unexpectedly didn't know how to restrain herself in front of him!
Damn it! He just went straight and carried her up to interrupt their last hope.
She instinctively put hands around his neck out of surprise, his arm hugged her strongly that half of her body was sticking closely to his broad and warm chest, even if there were layers of clothes between them, she could still feel his strong and warm breath. As if the place where she got in touch with him was burning up.
She was absent minded as she looked at his eyes, she then finally said something, "Euan, what are you doing?"
Euan just looked forward without looking at her, at all, "You are my wife now, and you ask me what I'm doing?"
Riley felt an inappropriate joy at heart, her swollen face became slightly hot that she almost forgot that she could blush too.
So, Euan suddenly hugged her like a princess... To admit their relationship?
But... Why was his embrace hot, while his expression looked so cold?
He walked a few steps to the car, pressed the car's lock with one hand, after the sound of unlocking, he put her down for the moment, skillfully opened the car's door with one hand, and carried her up again. He just threw her into the car with both hands!
He threw her to the front passenger seat like he was throwing a trash! The tenderness from before was all gone!
His expression and action switched so quickly that she has no time to react at all, and she was also dumbfounded because of that throw!
"Euan, what do you mean!" Riley's back hit the back of the chair, which immediately made her gasp out of pain... Euan, are you fucking crazy!
He moved around the car and opened the door with strength before sitting down roughly, with the closed windows and doors, the cramped space became their war zone.
Euan's cold gaze suppressed hers, "You asked me what I meant? Shouldn't you explain me what did you mean, for what you've done with him!"
Riley's heart shuddered, the warmth just now instantly turned into sheer coldness, he had never believed her from the very start, even that hug just now was done on purpose, his hugs were all done for revenge! He broke her heart into pieces; Riley really wanted to laugh because she's such a fool! How could Euan feel sorry for her!
"I have nothing to explain."
Since he didn't believe, why would she explain it to him?
Euan's lips were so sharp to say, "You... Very well!"
He plugged the key in and started the car's engine, and then he drove at high speed!
William was standing still as he was left behind, then his smile disappeared.
She was not living a happy life.
While on the opposite side of the road, Hendrix's car was stopping there... He gazed out of the car's window and watched as the Rolls-Royce disappeared on a corner.
Hendrix held the steering wheel tighter and tighter as he gritted his teeth in annoyance.
The car was heading to YJ Villa, seeing the road sign, Riley felt uneasy at heart, "Euan, the act is over, stop the car and let me out!"
The car was so fast that the lights seemed like flying through.
Meanwhile, there were only lonely-looking moon light on their faces.
"Just sit nicely." his voice was never loud to begin with, he's lazily and arrogantly intimidating.
Riley yanked the handle with strength, she didn't mind jumping down and die cruelly.
"Riley, who has always been strong, can commit suicide now? Let me remind you, your life is mine, you want to die? Do you have such right?"
Riley's eyes were teary but she didn't cry, "Euan, is it fun? Is it fun to pull so many acts on me?"
He hummed, "Nope, three years ago when you crawled up my bed you should've known that there's no fun in it."
Once again, he mentioned the past again and made her speechless.
After staying quiet for a moment, he suddenly said, "Did I misunderstand you for Lydia's illness?"
Hm?
The topic changed, she unexpectedly hadn't snapped out of it yet, "Do you believe me?"
He didn't reply, but then he blamed it on her again, "Since she accidentally made a mistake and misunderstood you, you shouldn't be hooking up with that man in public either, I think you forgot all about your status." Each word he said was so condemning.
"So? Do you care? Euan, do you care about who I'm with, as your wife in name only? Wife in name only, no, for other people, she couldn't even be considered as in wife in name only, when you and Lydia were together, being all intimate outside the media, did you ever care about me? Since that is so..."
She cleared her head, "Why would you meddle with my matter?"
"Riley, I think you're mistaken, what I care about and what you shouldn't do are two different things. Also, you've become braver now, you unexpectedly try to meddle with my life!"
She hopelessly looked out the window, the clear moon light felt so cold. What he meant was very clear he could control her but she had no right to meddle with his matter.
The car arrived in front of the Villa's gate and he used the smart switch to drive the car inside... After the car's light was off, There was silence, and their breaths inside the car were a bit disturbed, previously they were all angry, their breaths were heavier so the temperature at that time was unexpectedly dubious.
He lazily ordered, "Get off."
Riley gritted her teeth, she'd get off!
She got off the car, the night wind was blowing and suddenly it became so cold, she couldn't help shivering and hugged herself.
She thought that he's going to leave, but then she saw him getting off the car too... His tall and big figure was so dignified, he then locked the car and walked passed her with big steps, "Come here."
He might be addicted to saying two words s a command.
In the Villa's hall, the lights were so bright.
Only then he saw the bruises on her face, wound on her knee, she hadn't gotten well yet? How did the she get the slap marks on her face?
Stupid woman, how the hell did she grow up?
"Sit down!"
Fuck! He was really addicted!
Riley sat down, there's also a red Hermes ladies shoulder bag on the table, which was stored that it was blinding.
In just a moment, Euan came with a medicine box, he was very intimidating when he leaned down and looked at her, "You're not even pretty to begin with, what do you want to make yourself be like?" Riley was speechless!
He took out pain relieving tincture and dipped a cotton bud in it, with one foot kneeling he stretched his hand over...
She's stunned, Euan unexpectedly helped her to relieve the pain? Is it the end of the world?
"Stop any of your boring imaginations before I get tired of you... You're still my woman, I won't allow any ugly thing by my side."
She clenched her fists, "Since that is so, let's just have a divorce, you'll be worry free and clean."
Euan dabbed her face but by bit, while she endured the pain.
""Don't even think about it!"
"Ssk..."
He suddenly used more force on his hand, causing her to gasp in pain.
She closed her eyes because of the pain, she slightly faced upwards so it'd be easier for him to apply the medicine on, her long eyelashes created a silhouette on her white and flawless face. She bit her red lips, silently venting the unique sexiness of a woman.
Euan's throat tightened, his lower abdomen shrank and his tall figure stood up, suppressing her body.
It was too late for Riley to be on guard, his arms already circled her on the sofa, struggling, he was too sudden that she had no such awareness in her mind.
Who would've thought that he kept increasing his strength, step by step.
Swarovski lamp was in harmony with the moonlight, as there was desire on the Italy custom leather sofa...
