Meeting The One For Me

Audrey could see the intense emotions in Ryan’s eyes; emotions he couldn’t express verbally despite his stern and serious demeanor.

With her hands resting on Ryan’s chest, Audrey felt her ears flush under his intense gaze. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

Ryan tucked Audrey’s stray hair behind her ear, his voice carrying a strong and dangerously possessive tone. “I’m struggling to restrain myself.”

“What?” Audrey was a bit confused.

“I can tolerate others admiring you, but I don’t like it when they covet you or challenge you with their gaze.”

He could tolerate it before Audrey expressed her feelings for him.

However, after Audrey agreed to continue their marital relationship, and he explicitly told Audrey how possessive and intense his feelings for her were, Audrey did not reject him. Instead, her eyes seemed bright and even joyful.

Ryan was aware that his protective, possessive, and controlling instincts toward Audrey seemed to grow more with each day, especially with Audrey’s indulgence.

The wild beast inside him was evolving into an uncontrollable monster.

During the morning meeting just now, the gazes of Lambert Corporation’s executives toward Audrey irritated Ryan.

Especially when he saw someone faking respect with a hint of malice in their eyes, he wanted to smash that person’s head into the meeting table, making everyone in the conference room unable to disrespect her.

He had even entertained the idea of confining Audrey and possessing her completely. He

would have done it if Audrey had rejected him.

He had admitted to Audrey that he harbored an intense and dangerously possessive desire toward her, along with filthy and sacrilegious fantasies.

He had even entertained absurd and terrifying thoughts, such as trapping Audrey so she could only see and hear him–forcing her to love him. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Audrey’s clear–eyed gaze met Ryan’s, then her arms wrapped around his waist.

She looked up at Ryan with an innocent smile. “But you can’t just lock me away and keep me from seeing anyone, can you?”

Ryan remained silent, his eyes deeply fixed on Audrey as his fingers ran through her long

hair.

Yes, he did have such thoughts. But he knew he couldn’t act on them.

He knew that Audrey should shine brightly like a dazzling pearl, not be trapped by his filthy desires.

Loving someone meant being selfless and disregarding irrational possessiveness.
