A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Bonnie scolded herself. 'Damn it! How could I forget how dangerous this man is?' She had almost indulged in a fantasy that she should not have been having in the first place.

"Oh, if you weren't missing me, then why were you throwing yourself at me just now? I don't understand. You better have a good reason for acting that way," Darren teased.

His eyes shone with mischief. Seeing how embarrassed this woman was had improved his mood.

When Bonnie saw the expression on his face, her cheeks grew crimson. She pointed at the dishes and barked, "You're imagining things! I heard that you haven't eaten, so I made you some food. That was all. I was being considerate."

He raised an eyebrow and switched his attention to the food laid out on the table. He said rather casually, "So I misunderstood you. You weren't trying to seduce me?"

"No! Who would want to seduce you? And how would doing that benefit me?"

Bonnie blurted out.

When she noticed the sharp look in his eyes, her heart began pounding. She shouldn't have meddled. She should have just set the food on the table and then left. Why had she suddenly offered him a massage?

It was her fault for being so soft-hearted. The first thought that had popped into her head upon seeing his tired face was to help him out.

This man was her enemy. He was the reason why she was in this mansion, trapped without any liberties. It was because of him that she no longer lived a normal life.

Bonnie felt angry as she thought of this. When Darren noticed the change in her emotions, he lowered his gaze.

"Since you're already being kind, do you mind if we continue? This method seems to be working. I felt very comfortable just now. Press on it a little longer, please," he said.

He closed his eyes. Bonnie hesitated for a moment. She was a stranger to seeing Darren looking so defenseless. In the silence of the room, only the soft sounds of breathing could be heard.

'Forget it. I'm a good person. That's just who I am, ' she thought.
