A Crazy Night Novel

The atmosphere in the car immediately tensed. A knife could not even cut through it

Christina felt like she was about to combust. “If you don’t want to believe me, then don’t ask me. Think whatever you like. As long as you’re satished-”

Before she could finish, Nathaniel roughly gripped her chin and pushed her backward, causing her head to hit the window. She felt a stinging pain on her lip and tasted the metallic taste of blood.

She had difficulty breathing, with Nathaniel’s lips pressed tight against hers,

Instead of saying that it was a kiss, it felt more like a punishment,

It felt like he was punishing her because she went to meet Francis. It also felt like a punishment for doing many things without first getting his opinion.

Christina furrowed her brows and endured the pain. She did not know how much time had passed before Nathaniel finally let go of her. Their breathings were uneven as they stared at each other heatedly like opponents in a fighting ring, neither willing to let the other win.

Christina’s gaze was locked onto Nathaniel’s. His lips were painted red with blood, and his eyes were sharp, looking like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

“Nathaniel! What do you take me for? Your pet? Or an emotionless robot? Or perhaps you think I’m the kind of woman who would engage in sexual acts with any man? You keep saying you would respect me and my space, but look at what you’ve been doing. When have you ever shown me respect?”

The car fell into silence. Each sentence Christina said felt like knives stabbing into Nathaniel’s heart.

They were looking at the faces they were most familiar with, yet they seemed more like strangers than lovers at that moment.

Christina regretted ever meeting him.

After so many years, she thought Nathaniel would change, but reality proved her wrong.

Why would a high and mighty CEO that has people flocking to him understand what respect means? I don’t ask for much. He should at least trust me. The way he got angry over such a small matter makes it seem like Francis and I are in some sort of forbidden relationship.

The car came to a stop at the entrance of Scenic Garden Manor.

Christina got off first and entered the manor.

Lucas and Camila ran from the second floor excitedly when they heard the sound of the car. “Mommy. are you back? We’ve missed you!”

“I’ve missed you too.” Christina bent down to wrap her arms around Lucas and Camila before kissing their checks.
