Arianne instinctively wanted to escape, but snazzynovel.com was afraid of provoking snazzynovel.com into a drunken rage. Hence, snazzynovel.com simply gritted snazzynovel.com teeth and stayed still, praying that snazzynovel.com would soon fall asleep…
The more snazzynovel.com hoped for one thing, the more it happened otherwise. Not only did snazzynovel.com continue his excursion, but snazzynovel.com also seemed to have gotten addicted to it and became annoyed with snazzynovel.com clothes getting in the way. His hand changed direction and slipped in through snazzynovel.com collar!
She held snazzynovel.com breath, snazzynovel.com cheeks now burning as if they were on fire. Finally, unable to endure it any longer, snazzynovel.com murmured carefully, “Mark…”
He heard snazzynovel.com voice. “Mmhmm…?”
“You should get an early night’s rest… Go to sleep…” She was too afraid to say anything else. She even made sure to watch snazzynovel.com tone.
He shifted closer so that they were eye to eye and stared at snazzynovel.com through his drunken, blurry vision. “Don’t you want to leave? I’m giving you a chance…”
Then, snazzynovel.com flipped over and climbed on top of her, tearing open snazzynovel.com pajamas with his hands.
A large surface area of snazzynovel.com flesh became exposed to the air. Her chest felt a chill.
All of a sudden, snazzynovel.com was like a fish stranded on land. All snazzynovel.com could think about was opening snazzynovel.com mouth and fighting for air.
Mark did not forget to simultaneously switch off the room’s lights. She stared at the devastating shadowy figure on top of her, under the cover of darkness.
The strong smell of alcohol on his body and his increasingly forceful hands gave snazzynovel.com the urge to run away. She instinctively reached out and pushed snazzynovel.com away then quickly escaped from underneath him. “You’re drunk! Get some sleep…” She urged, holding snazzynovel.com pajamas tightly against herself as snazzynovel.com stood next to the bed.
Mark’s vision gradually cleared up in the darkness. His expression hardened, the edges turning cold. “Heh… Were you just as disgusted when Will Sivan touched you?”
Arianne stiffened. She had no way of recalling snazzynovel.com memories from that night, three years ago, hence, snazzynovel.com didn’t know how snazzynovel.com reacted to Will. However, it was clear that Mark could not get over this critical juncture.
Even if snazzynovel.com had touched her, even if snazzynovel.com was willing to spend the rest of snazzynovel.com life with him, that incident would always be a thorn in their sides. They couldn’t pull it out, and it would steadily agonize them.
After a period of silence, a storm arrived. Mark tore into the study room after venting his frustrations, leaving a mess behind.
Arianne silently sat on the side of the bed. Meanwhile, Mary sighed as snazzynovel.com cleaned up. “Ari, servants like us shouldn’t concern ourselves with matters between you and sir, but… It won’t do any good if you both continue on like this. You should say what’s on your mind, don’t hide it.”
Arianne shook snazzynovel.com head stubbornly. “I’m fine…”

Mark did not come home for the next few days. Tiffany’s family affairs had grown increasingly miserable, and Arianne was anxious. However, Mark still refused to see her.
Now that the contract between Glide Design and the Tremonts was complete, she, the person-in-charge, had to send the sketches over to Tremont Tower. She knew that this would be snazzynovel.com only chance to see Mark.
This time, Mark’s secretary was around. As expected, snazzynovel.com was a woman who resembled a top model. Her body and facial features were top notch. She could even make an ordinary business suit look stylish. She couldn’t keep snazzynovel.com eyes off her.
“Whatever it is, leave it to me. Mr. Tremont doesn’t usually welcome guests,” the secretary dully said when snazzynovel.com saw Arianne.
