Elijah gazed at the woman who was curling herself up in the chair and a deep sense of pity flooded his heart. He walked over and picked her up directly.
"Ah––" The sudden movement made Esther jerk her head up, and her weeping face was abruptly displayed in front of Elijah.
He was slightly stunned, lowered his head suddenly and kissed her lips that had opened wide out of shock…
"Ah––What are you going to do––Mmmm––" Esther froze, tears still in her eyes, but his sudden kiss made her whole body freeze.
Without answering, Elijah turned around with her in his arms and walked away.
It wasn't until he shoved her into the car, and it sped down the road that she responded. "Where are you taking me? Miss Cole is still in the hospital!"
"You love that man?" He gave an irrelevant answer, his voice cold to the core.
At the mention of Hudson, Esther's entire body froze and said in a panic, "It's none of your business!"
"As long as the bet is still valid, you're mine!" He drove fast and brought her to a villa.
"Hey! What are you doing? Elijah, let go of me!" Esther screamed, and then she was carried by him into a bedroom.
Elijah brutally tried to tear off all her clothes!
"Ah––you, what are you going to do?!" Esther hurriedly shielded her clothes, raised her eyes to look at Elijah in panic and confusion. Her eyes were full of shock and fear.
"To get back what I deserve!" Elijah sneered, "To do what I've always wanted to do but haven't done yet!"
With that, his tall and strong body just fell down and pressed straight against her!
"No! You can't do this!" Esther was so scared that her whole body trembled and struggled desperately to break free from him.
Despite her desperate struggle, Elijah had no intention of letting her go.
"Don’t do that!" Elijah's strong hands gripped Esther's long hair so that she couldn't escape from his lowered face. After that, his cold but punishing kisses fell on her face, her neck, her chest…and then, blocked her lips violently!
"Don't––" Esther struggled anxiously, but he was as strong as a yak, and she couldn't break free from him.
He bit her maliciously while she bit him and kicked him, trying hard to defend her chastity.
However, he didn't stop what he was doing.
Esther seized the opportunity and bit Elijah's lips. At once, a smell of blood spread and both of their movements stopped!
Esther glared at him. "Don't touch me!"
Elijah wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but frown and narrow his phoenix eyes as his gaze locked on her brow. Without any movement, he just stared deeply at her like that.
The crimson blood at the corner of his mouth made her feel guilty inside. She knew she had to fulfill the bet she lost, but she––
Esther pursed her lips. At this moment, Elijah's pitch-black ink-like pupils were like a black hole, adsorbing her gaze, making her too shocked to move at all.
Their faces were close to each other and their rapid breathing lingered clearly between them. Her heart suddenly couldn't restrain itself from beating wildly, but she didn't know whether she was afraid or his eyes were too frightening.
"If you resist, it will only make you hurt more!" He said indifferently.
Esther's heart trembled and she actually didn't know what to do!
Elijah kissed directly toward her lips, forcing her to swallow the blood from the corner of her lips, while Esther shook her head with a miserable pale face. "No, I can't!"
She couldn't do it!
However, Elijah had run out of patience. Whatever he wanted, he always grabbed it directly!
"It's not up to you!" He got up and took off his own clothes, revealing his sturdy physique.
Esther's face flushed instantly, not daring to look at him as she had never seen a man naked before––
The moment he undressed himself, she struggled out of bed to pick up her own clothes, but before she could walk over, her waist was hooked by a strong arm…then he leaned down and kissed her.
"Elijah!" Esther was pinned down by him, and she was already short of breath at the end of the kiss, but she was powerless to resist him. "Please let me go!"
"Impossible!" His deep eyes locked on her brow, the once evil and cold eyes like the cold pool in hell made Esther's heart tremble. As if struck by the electricity in his eyes, her body trembled slightly.
He nibbled her lips again, and the punishing kisses fell densely on her.
"Don't touch me! Mr. Ball, save me––" In desperation, Esther cried out instinctively.
Suddenly, Elijah's body tensed up and his eyes were filled with a storm. Without any compassion, Elijah's face was cold and stern, radiating a chilly light, "You forced me to do this!"
"Get out of the way––" Esther screamed.
She felt his powerful body and had a premonition of what was going to happen next that she can't help but cry out. "Don't ––"
He thought, 'This woman is actually in the mood for food?'
In the kitchen, Hira was busy working. "Miss Price, this is the first time I've made the chocolate cake you mentioned, and I don't really understand the recipe! Can you see if this recipe is right?"
Esther didn't notice Elijah who had come into the living room, and there was something strange about her posture when she walked.
Elijah knew the reason. As soon as he saw her hobbling posture, he thought of what happened last night, and the eyes that looked at Esther's slender back also became deeper.
Esther picked up the recipe written by Hira, "Yes! 80g dark chocolate, 80g butter, 100g eggs, 100g fine sugar, 20g high gluten flour. Baking: middle, 175 degrees, about 15 minutes! Wow, Mrs. Bayes, you're really so smart and I love you so much! Even though I only said it once, you can remember it, this will definitely make a delicious cake!"
"Really? Then I'll make it for you, it'll be ready in a moment!" Hira was praised for being smart for the first time, and she immediately worked harder, "You eat something else first, I'll bring it to you when it's ready!"
"Okay!" Esther nodded and said after thinking for a moment, "By the way, where's that pervert?"
She didn't see Elijah, did he go to the hospital?
"Pervert?" Hira was puzzled.
"It's Elijah! Where is he?" Esther raised her eyebrows.
Elijah, who had just walked to the door, was stunned. She actually called him a "pervert".
"Ah! Miss Price, Mr. Perry is just a little cold, but he's kind and not a pervert. Miss, you're really funny, but don't say this in front of Mr. Perry, I'll pretend I didn't hear you!" Hira said while whisking the eggs.
"I don't see what's not perverted about that guy! Do you know where he went?" Esther couldn't wait to kill him at the thought of her first night being snatched away by him.
"I didn't expect that you'd miss me so much after only a few hours of not seeing me!" Elijah appeared in the doorway wearing a silver-gray suit, purple shirt, and white tie. His hands were in the pockets of his suit and his body was leaning against the door, looking at her with a smile.
Esther was dumbfounded for a moment, when did he appear?
"Mr. Perry, you're back!" Hira immediately greeted him. "Miss Price wants to eat a cake and I'm making it for her. Mr. Perry, would you like to eat it?"
Elijah's eyes fell on Esther's face, "Yes!"
Esther glared at him fiercely and at the same time, Elijah also looked at her.
There was a playfulness in his deep eyes, yes, Esther could confirm that it was playfulness, and her heart felt a shudder.
She lowered her head and walked out of the kitchen.
