Chapter 176

Natalie shuddered involuntarily. She hadn’t pored over every word when she signed that agreement.

She’d merely skimmed through the clauses,

“Clause three is crystal clear. If you’ve had any intimate contact with another man, I’ll hurt him.” he said,

his fingertips tracing gentle circles on Natalie’s back as if she were an unparalleled

treasure.

Perhaps his punishments had been too lenient, and Natalie kept making the same mistakes. So, he

decided to show her what would happen when she truly pissed him off. He had a thousand ways to

make her obey.

Natalie lay there, listening to his icy words behind her ear, lips pressed tightly shut, silent.

In this unequal agreement, he had merely set boundaries for her.

After Brian applied the ointment, his right hand moved forward, capturing her wrist as he leaned in

close and whispered, “Natalie, I’ve told you that you must be completely mine for this year.”

With that, his cold lips brushed against the shell of her ear, trailing downwards.

Natalie’s mind, however, was clearer than ever.

Suddenly, Natalie spoke, “Brian, you know what? Every touch from you repulses me beyond measure.

Even sharing a room with you suffocates me to the point I can’t breathe.”

Each word came with a distinct loathing that was indescribable.

Brian froze. A few seconds later, his eyes, filled with anger, met Natalie’s gaze.

After a moment, he let her go.

“So, you fancy Kellan that much,” he murmured, eyes narrowing.

Fancy him enough to have accepted Kellan’s proposal and his ring.

“It has nothing to do with Kellan,” Natalie replied without hesitation, her voice low. “Mr. Howard, what

happens between you and me is private and doesn’t involve anyone else.”

She addressed him formally as Mr. Howard, which forced a bitter laugh from Brian.

“Fine,” he said, a dangerous glint in his eye.

She had pushed him to this.

When they deplaned, Reid was already waiting outside the airport, his face pale at the sight of Natalie

and Brian emerging together.

Natalie’s trip had gone unnoticed by him. He had even thought she might still be in the country, given

that she had mentioned feeling unwell three days prior and had wanted to rest at Prestige Penthouses,

asking him not to disturb her. So, he didn’t.

Little did he know that Natalie had traveled to Sterlina!

“Mr. Howard…” Reid stuttered, his face turning even paler. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
