Madeline let Ryan throttle snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com wished as snazzynovel.com gaze remained unfazed.
“Kill me. I might as well die if I can never see Jeremy again. There’s no difference between the two anyway.”
She smiled bitterly. Ryan had already sanded snazzynovel.com sharp edges away over the past few days, so snazzynovel.com no longer had the strength to fight back.
Ryan could not bear to accept such words coming from Madeline at such a time.
“Why must you force me, Eveline? Why do you have to force me?” A look so angry it seemed wretched and horrifying overtook Ryan’s handsome’s features.
He pressed Madeline against the cold floorboards and pounced on snazzynovel.com like an unrestrained tiger, ripping snazzynovel.com clothes apart brutally.
“F*ck off!” Madeline resisted with all snazzynovel.com might.
Yet Madeline’s hands were in a deadlock in Ryan’s hold and one of his hands was forcing Madeline’s head to meet his thin lips as snazzynovel.com leaned down to kiss her.
Madeline turned snazzynovel.com head to avoid it but was not completely successful.
Ryan’s lips touched snazzynovel.com cheek. The warmth and soft contact seemed to have ignited the feelings Ryan had been suppressing over the years.
Desire filled his eyes, and at that moment, snazzynovel.com fully believed that snazzynovel.com had fallen for Eveline. He wanted to have her, not just to take revenge on Jeremy, but to satisfy the innate and true desire within him.
However, his touch had also triggered something within Madeline.
She bit Ryan’s arm and took the man’s dazed lapse as an opportunity to get up and run out of the storage room.
After two steps, snazzynovel.com ended up stepping on the broken shards of the bowl snazzynovel.com had thrown. As snazzynovel.com was barefoot, the sharp pieces pierced into the bottom of snazzynovel.com feet and made snazzynovel.com shiver in pain.
Still, Madeline ignored the pain and continued to run through the broken pieces. The raging panic within snazzynovel.com at that moment screamed, telling snazzynovel.com to escape Ryan’s control and run as far as possible.
She had not even made it out of the storage room when snazzynovel.com felt Ryan lifting snazzynovel.com from behind.
“Let me go! You bstard!” Madeline yelled as snazzynovel.com hammered snazzynovel.com fists against Ryan as hard as snazzynovel.com could. “You crazy son of a btch! Let me go, you f*cking *sshole!”
Ryan remained impassive to Madeline’s hitting and scolding.
He carried snazzynovel.com to the bedroom and threw snazzynovel.com onto the bed to press snazzynovel.com down.
Madeline pulled snazzynovel.com feet in and pulled out a shard from the bottom of snazzynovel.com feet through the pain. The moment Ryan pressed down over her, snazzynovel.com placed the shard against Ryan’s neck.
Ryan felt a small stab of pain shoot up. He knew that the shard must have sliced the skin around his neck.
“Don’t you dare, Ryan Jones.” Madeline’s gaze was determined. She appeared fully ready to kill snazzynovel.com even if it was at the cost of snazzynovel.com life.
Ryan had not expected Madeline to be so difficult. Her lively and beautiful eyes were red, emphasizing the hollow and pale complexion of snazzynovel.com face.
He lifted his hand to take the shard from Madeline’s hand, but snazzynovel.com grip was unrelenting. Even if it was at the cost of a bleeding palm, snazzynovel.com refused to let go of it and kept it pressed against his neck.
“Stay the f*ck away. I don’t want to see you!” Physically, Madeline was in horrible condition, but that did not dilute the determination in snazzynovel.com tone.
Ryan knitted his brows and dragged Madeline’s hand with brute force as his gaze sharpened.
“I told you that I’ll let you do what you want as long as you listen to me. I’ll even let your parents go back to Glendale, so why can’t you just bow down to me? You’re the one who’s forcing me here, Eveline.”
“Hah.” Madeline scoffed bitterly as a tear trickled from the corner of snazzynovel.com eyes. “Will you actually let my parents go, Ryan? Who are you kidding here? You’re just going to use them to control me again so that you can achieve whatever vile goal you’re aiming for!”
Ryan’s expression darkened. He seemed moments away from erupting in anger when snazzynovel.com suddenly loosened his grip.
Madeline fell onto the bed limply. She pushed herself back to stare at the man sitting by the bed guardedly. She did not let go of the shard in snazzynovel.com grip.
It was as if the shard was snazzynovel.com life force and the only thing keeping snazzynovel.com from bending under Ryan’s brutal behavior.
