Their gaze met each other. He blinked his eyes and said in a low voice, “Why are you still standing there? Come here!”
What did she see?
Leila’s heart throbbed suddenly. No! How could he humiliate her like that? How could he bring another woman into their bridal chamber and used their bed on their wedding night?
She knew Vincent wasn’t sincere in getting married with her. She also didn’t understand why Vincent wanted to marry her, but these weren’t important anymore. She didn’t expect he would be so unrestrained that he even ignored father’s words.
The loud groan and the situation on the large bed almost made her faint.
“Come here!” His voice became louder.
Leila was frightened, but she didn’t obey him. Instead, she involuntarily closed the door of the bathroom. After closing the door, she immediately regretted and thought she should ran out of the bathroom and left this bedroom.
The sky outside was getting darker as Leila’s heart found it difficult to understand this man.
Was it because her sister had betrayed him that he was seeking revenge on her as well?
Leila didn’t know. She only felt her heart aching and her whole body was cold. She opened all the water taps in the bathroom to cover the noises of excitement outside.
It was just a nightmare, there was nothing to make a fuss about. She comforted herself.
However, Leila’s heart felt really so painful that she couldn’t breathe properly!
She bent down and couldn’t stop her tears from streaming down. She bit her lips hard. Her bite marks engraved on her lips until it was bleeding. She was crying so hard to the point where she felt drowsy. The lewd screams of a woman and the rough gasps of a man still sounded outside the bathroom.
She sat on the floor in the bathroom. The cold water made her pyjamas wet and she felt dizzy from all these tears while listening to the sound of Vincent and a woman fooling around in bed outside. She didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry at herself.
After a while, the bathroom door was suddenly opened. Vincent appeared in front of her unclothed, revealing his built muscles full of sexiness. He stood in front of her with a wild and upright temperament.
“Vin...Vincent!” Leila exclaimed in fear and looked down. Her eyes were red and swollen because of all these tears. Her gaze was blurry, but she could still see an unpleasant scene. His chest was full of red lipstick prints that were unpleasing to her eyes.
She dared not look at him again, because she really didn’t know how to face this situation in front of her.
“Why didn’t you come when I asked you to?!” He said in a low voice.
“You’re not convenient!” She sobbed out the truth. Since he wanted to enjoy his wedding night with someone else, she would help him to achieve his aim. However, she would never have a threesome with them.
“Leila, don’t you want to listen to me?” Vincent didn’t expect her to be so calm after seeing such a scene. It was out of his expectations. He thought she would rush out and made a fuss with him, but she didn’t. She just hid in the bathroom and cried!
All women were the same! Did they only know to shed tears whenever something happened?
“Vincent, I’ve always listened to you. I married you because you wanted to and followed all your orders, but I had a healthy mind. I’m not suitable to play this kind of game with you!” Leila’s tone was a little anxious because she didn’t want to say a word more to him, especially at this current situation.
“Do you mean I don’t have a healthy mind?” There weren’t any emotion in his words, but the corner of his lips was tipping into a gloomy smile.
“I didn’t say that!” Leila took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm, but her crying tone still exposed her emotions at that moment. How could she not care about her husband spending their wedding night with another woman on the big bed that belonged to them?
“That’s exactly what you mean!”
“That’s what you think. I don’t have a habit of fantasizing. If you want to take a shower, the bathroom is all yours. I’m going out!” She exclaimed. It was not that she didn’t have any temper, she just didn’t want to lose her temper easily. That would be too unreasonable.
“You’re jealous?” He frowned.
“That wouldn’t be!” Leila sobbed out these words as tears streamed down her thin cheeks from the corner of her eyes and flowed to her mouth. “I know our marriage is just a deal, but when will you return my things back to me?”
“This is just the beginning of the game!” He said wickedly.
“Vincent!” Even after the pain in her heart had disappeared, Leila murmured gently with her pale lips and face that seemed anemic, “To me, you were still the boy with a sunny disposition when you first arrived at my house. You had a bright smile at that time, I thought you would become my sister in law. Even if you wouldn’t be my sister in law, you were still the kind-hearted brother that I always had. My sister didn’t cherish you, so I made atonement for her sins. I’ve forborne everything. It’s fine that you don’t like me, but you can’t humiliate me like this!”
Leila became even more agitated and she shouted with a crying tone, “You can kill me, but you mustn’t humiliate me!”
It was painful!
It really hurt so much!
It turned out that there was a kind of pain that couldn’t be expressed out in this world. She had felt it at that moment. She looked down and her tears blurred her gaze.
She quickly put away her tears. Then, she straightened her back and passed through him to exit the bathroom.
He immediately pulled her back. She seemed to have seen this coming that she unconditionally reacted to get rid of his hand. It was as if she was sickened of him and felt that he was disgusting.
Vincent didn’t catch her again and Leila quickly walked out.
On the big bed, the woman loosened her hair as she laid on their bed. She smiled in pride and stared at Leila coming out from the bathroom. She also said provocatively, “Miss, where are you going?”
“Eira?” Vincent shouted.
“Sir!” Eira walked out of the kitchen and stood at the side.
“Why didn’t you bring a blanket for Leila?” Vincent sounded like he was blaming her.
Eira was a little confused, didn’t Mr. White order her not to do so yesterday? But Vincent was her boss, of course she wouldn’t dare to say anything. She secretly took a glance at Vincent and apologized immediately, “I’m sorry, Sir! I’ve forgotten about it.”
“It’s fine, I’ve found a blanket.” Leila smiled gently and sat by the dining table. “Eira, could you prepare some food for me? I’m hungry!”
She hadn’t eaten anything since last night, so she really felt hungry. It was ten o’clock in the morning now, it seemed that they had eaten breakfast already.
“Yes, Ma’am! I’ll prepare it now.” Eira went back into the kitchen.
Leila and Vincent were left in living room. She felt the atmosphere was quiet, but dreary too.
Leila widened her eyes and looked at the plain white ceiling. The interior design of the living room was really elegant, but the scene that she saw him holding a unknown woman last night was still clearly showing in her mind.
The scene kept flashing, again and again!
Vincent suddenly stood up and was ready to go out.
“Vincent!” Leila shouted at him.
Vincent turned around and raised his brows.
“When will you return the video tape to me?” Leila asked.
Vincent turned his eyes. Under the morning sunlight that shined through the door, Vincent looked indifferent even when he was smiling.
“Did I say that I would give it back to you?” Vincent’s voice was as calm as ever.
“You...” Leila was pissed. What did he mean?
Vincent glanced at the petite figure in front of him and took out a cigarette. His charming face looked disdain as he lit the cigarette. He took a pull of his cigarette and exhaled it on Leila’s face which made her cough uncomfortably.
