His Domineering Lover

Adrian looked concernedly at the woman lying in his arms whose eyes were closed and eyebrows were furrowed. He frowned at her exposed skin above her breast and then wrapped her tightly with his suit jacket.

Back in his villa, the doctor said, "Master Xiao, she's unconscious because of extreme shock."

"Shock?" Adrian was a little surprised. He had thought that she was much more ill than that.

"Yes. I think she has some sort of trauma and it was triggered today. Her hand is alright. Don't stimulate her again." "Okay, I see."

After the doctor left, Adrian carefully tucked the quilt around her. She seemed to be trapped in a dream.

"No, it's not me! Please believe me."

There was a layer of sweat on her forehead and she kept mumbling.

In her past life, Aleigha had been taken on too many times. Seeing Aubrie again set all those memories ablaze.

She felt like a drifting leave on the turbulent sea and suddenly she grabbed a wooden block.

When the storm finally subsided, she woke up.

"How are you feeling?"

Aleigha saw Adrian's close face and found her limps intertwined with his.

His shirt was crumpled by her and the spot before his chest was wet with her tears.

Adrian's warm hand patted her back gently. "It's just a nightmare."

"Sorry," Aleigha murmured.

She wanted to draw away from him, but his hands were tight around her waist.

"What did you dream of?" He wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes.

Adrian's cold face in the dream overlapped with his gentle face in front of her. "Why it had to be you?"

She looked at Adrian with watery eyes, like a frightened little animal.

"Aleigha, tell me your secret, will you?"

"I beg of you for one thing."

"What?" Adrian felt so worried about her that he would almost say yes to any of her requests.

Adrian, I only want half of the money. Can you let me go?"

Adrian's expression changed. "You're that eager to leave me?"

"Yes, I saved you at the beginning just for money. Mr. Xiao, I know your injury hasn't fully recovered, but I must leave now." "Aleigha!"

He would like to believe she was playing hard-to-get again as he used to believe, but he couldn't ignore the determination in her eyes. "Adrian, give me the money and the franchise."

"Aleigha, who are you to bargain with me? "Adrian was fuming with anger.

"I didn't bargain. That's the price we agreed when I saved you."

"Well, as you wish."

Adrian threw her a cheque with the full amount of money written on it.

Aleigha met his eyes and saw the rage in them.

She had thought there would have been more argument before he gave up.

"You..."

"Get out of here before I change my mind," Adrian said in an icy voice.

Aleigha lowered her head, telling herself that leaving him was the right thing to do.

"Well..." Aleigha said quietly.

"What?" Adrian thought that she had regretted it and his voice softened.

"Can you give me some cash? I don't have any money on me." Aleigha was a little embarrassed.

Adrian's eyes became stern again.

Aleigha wondered whether she was the most shameless he'd seen.

Adrian took out a stack of money from his purse and handed it to her. "Is it enough?"

Aleigha wanted to say that she would pay him back but bit it back and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Her voice was earnest.

She met the butler as she went downstairs. "Miss, are you going out? I'll prepare a car for you."

"There's no need." Adrian's voice heard from behind them.

"Aleigha, I'll only give you one month. If you can't start a profitable company, I will withdraw the franchise."

Aleigha's face darkened slightly. "A month is far from enough."

She didn't even have an office now and had to start everything from zero.

"One month. It's decided."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

After Aleigha got out of his house, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a fateful moment in her life. She could live by herself from now on.

"Miss, it's not easy to find a taxi here. Be careful."

"I see. Thank you for taking care of me."

"I'm here for money and now I get it. I don't want anything to do with him."

"Miss..."

The butler sighed. She was so different.

No women around Adrian had been so frank about their intention.

"She asked for it."

"But she..."

"She deserves it." Adrian came back to his room and looked at the messy bed.

He felt a part of his heart becoming empty.

Outside the house, Aleigha had left resolutely.

She felt full of energy.

However, the high heels made her feet ache very soon.

She sighed, wondering how long she had to walk before reaching a hotel.

When she felt too exhausted to move on, a car came. She shielded her eyes with her hand from its glaring light.
