A Graduation Gift

Chapter 98 The War Between Men

The heavy cloud cast a gloomy shadow on the ground. The wind started blowing in the cold weather. A few crows could be heard crying in sorrow. It seemed like they were cursing the freezing winter.

Cassandra had just walked out from the office. In the corridor, the wind squeezed its way through the window.

This was an old building which was going to become obsolete soon. People had been moving out hence only a few rooms were occupied.

Not far from where she was, there stood a new building. It was constructed by Vernon's own company.

This thought sounded hilarious to her. Her father sent himself to the detention house that was built by himself. The idea of him living caged in something built with his own money was ironical.

Last night, she didn't manage to get a good sleep. And today early in the morning, she had to play smart with the foxy officials. This indeed drained all the energy out of her.

Feeling a bit dizzy, she headed to the washroom at the end of the corridor. Quickly, she scooped some water and splashed it on her face. Deep down she hoped this would relax her mind.

The piercing coldness was indeed effective. Raising her head, she squinted her eyes and tried to see herself in the rusting mirror. In a low voice, she said to herself, "You can do it."

The old washroom wasn't equipped with light. In the dimness, Cassandra felt frightened.

Walking briskly out, she wanted to reach the place where sunlight could touch her face. All of a sudden, she was pulled back by a strong pair of hands.

The strong hands pulled her into the darkness, away from sunlight. Under his control, she found it hard to move.

As she was about to shout for help, his hand pressed against her lips. With her mouth covered, her scream turned into broken whimper.

The fear for darkness and the pain from the grip made her eyes wide open. Yet the dimness made it hard for her to recognize the attacker's face.

So far, she only knew that the man was tall and strong. She felt him breathing fast. Without any mercy, he pressed Cassandra against the ice-old cement wall.

The corridor was invaded by yet another gust of wind which messed up her tidy hair. Though her vision was a bit clouded by her hair, she knew the man was drawing closer to her as he felt his rapid breath against her face.

"Why are you always with Rufus?" the man asked with fury.

Gnashing his teeth to squeeze while he spat these words out, Lionel looked like a demon to her.

Cassandra's heart sank into a state of hopelessness.

She instantly deduced where his fury came from. It was certain that Lionel must have heard that Rufus had accompanied her. His self-esteem must have been shattered. And now he decided to explode his intense emotions on her.
