“Anastasia, is there any meaning to you avoiding your feelings like this? Just say that you care about
me and that you like me. It’s not like I’ll make a joke out of this.” Elliot stared at her small face, his gaze
full of love.
Anastasia was stunned momentarily and she was about to react when his other hand held onto her jaw
and he forcefully kissed her.
Wide-eyed, Anastasia grunted in surprise. Is this man trying to take advantage of me again?Why do I
not watch out for things like this more? I can’t seem to escape the fate of getting forcefully kissed every
time by him. Gosh!
The smell of alcohol still coming from him made her feel faint, and his powerful kiss was like him trying
to imprint himself onto her.
Without her son at home, the whole place had become somewhere the man could let out his desires,
with the kiss lasting till Elliot thought it was enough. Panting, he then finally let her go because if they
were to continue, he would be the one that would suffer.
Anastasia wasn’t better off either as she was panting with a flushed face. She raised her hand,
planning on slapping him. However, just as she was about to do it, she stared angrily into his lovestruck
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteyes.
His deep stare reflected her face clearly and for some reason, she could actually see the love in his
gaze.
“Anastasia, I like you.” From the man’s hoarse voice came a confession.
In the end, the hand that was raised mid-way did not land on his handsome face, and she put it away
stiffly.
“Don’t have it in your heart to hit me anymore?” Elliot smiled slyly.
“Elliot, I don’t like you,” Anastasia replied loudly as she stared at him wide-eyed.
His expression darken upon hearing this. “Is it that I’ve not done enough, or is it that I’ve somehow
made you angry?”
“Taking advantage of me while forcing me to like you? Do you think that I would ever like you under
such circumstances?” Anastasia sneered. Is he really that conpdent that every woman he meets will
fall in love with him at the very first sight?
Yet, Elliot did not let go of her and still pinned her down in a suggestive way. He tried to control himself,
but his gentle gaze held a hint of desire and possessiveness.
Just like that, he kept staring and attacking her with his gaze.
In the end, Anastasia, who could no longer look him in the eye, started to panic. And so, she reached
out to try to push him away. “Get up, Elliot.”
It was as if there was a strong magic in his stare and one would succumb to his charms if one looked
into his gaze for too long. Even though Anastasia was staring at him angrily, Elliot still would not get up,
instead staring back at her with eyes full of desire.
Struggling in vain, Anastasia felt the heat, as well as the danger radiating off the man, making her panic
for real.
“Elliot, I’m going to count to three now…”
“Do you think I’m your son? Do you think I can be threatened like this?” Smirking, Elliot dismissed her
threats with just that sentence.
This made Anastasia speechless.
He really is a devil in disguise!
“If you don’t get up now, I’ll call the cops.”
“It was you who brought me into your home of your own volition. And with me being your boss and you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeing my employee, things would become quite hard to explain at the police station.” Smirking even
more, Elliot continued, “What do you think they will believe? You seducing me? Or me seducing you?”
Although the man was arguing against her right now, he had a loving smile, making Anastasia itch to hit
him in the face.
Probably because he had teased her enough and didn’t actually want to make her mad, Elliot suddenly
leaned over and gave her a peck on the lips. “Anastasia, please try and open up your heart to me. I
promise you won’t be disappointed.”
Hope flashed in his eyes and he pleaded at her with a hoarse voice. For people who were born with a
golden spoon like Elliot, it was rare for him to plead with someone.
Finally, the man got up, leaving Anastasia stunned for a few seconds before sitting up. Then, she
proceeded to open the entrance door without any hesitation. “You’d
better leave. I don’t want you staying any further.”
Suddenly, pain flashed across Elliot’s eyes, and he clutched his stomach as cold sweat covered his
forehead. Thereafter, he stumbled and crashed onto the sofa.
Meanwhile, an icy Anastasia was about to send him away. However, seeing him like this made her
close the door and rush over to his side in the blink of an eye. “What’s wrong?!”
