A middle-aged woman hurriedly came in and took away the bowl. Ethan lifted his arm to pat Tiffany’s back, but he put it down again and just moved the tissue box to a place within her reach. “That was Maria. She’ll be taking care of your daily needs from now on, so you can just tell her what you want to eat.”
Tiffany currently had no appetite at all. It was only normal for her to be quite irritable. She ignored Ethan’s words and just prayed that he would leave soon. She didn’t want to see him or any other men right now!
When Ethan came to see her the next day, she made a request to talk to Arianne. After all, Arianne must be panic-stricken by her disappearance. Since she still had to stay here for about two more weeks, she really didn’t want to make other people worried.
Ethan looked like he had just rushed his way here. His forehead was beaded by sweat as he took off his suit jacket and draped it over the edge of the bed. “I’ve already contacted them and informed them that you’re with me. I brought you some books that Maria will bring to you later. You can read them if you’re bored. I know you don’t like reading, so I brought you the more interesting books. I still have some matters to attend to, but I’ll be able to stay by your side from tonight onward.”
Tiffany could hear the dangerous tone in his voice. “I don’t need you to be by my side! I don’t want to see you either!”
He frowned at her. “If you want to be locked up here for the rest of your life, then just carry on fighting me. I have enough patience for that.”
That instantly forced Tiffany to quell her anger. Ethan was only asking for her to stay here half a month; she might as well fulfill his wishes so that she could leave this place and escape from this devil…!
This time, Ethan didn’t stay that long and left after twenty minutes. Tiffany listened as the sound of his car faded into the distance, then tried to get out of the bed to do something elsewhere. Ever since she arrived here, she had been keeping herself cooped up in this room. The room was quite huge, with its own bathroom and toilet inside. Regardless, it was still a prison. She had never been holed up like this before and couldn’t stand it anymore.
As soon as she walked into the living room, Maria hurriedly came up to her. “Miss Lane, where are you going?”
Tiffany didn’t have a good impression of anyone associated with Ethan, even if Maria looked like a kind lady. “Can’t I just walk around? Even prisoners are allowed to get some fresh air at allocated time slots. Do I look like a prisoner to you?”
Maria had a troubled look on her face. “Sir has ordered for you to not be allowed to leave the room when he isn’t around. If you have a request, you can just tell me and I’ll get it done for you.”
His eyes suddenly turned harsh. “So Jackson West is allowed to do this, but not me? How long have you known him? Even if you two haven’t done it, he must have at least touched your body, right? Don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve stayed the night at the West family’s residence with him before!”
“Yes, it’s just as you said, I’ve done everything with him! He’s my ideal type of man. Other than having sex, we’ve done everything. I don’t recall having gotten back together with you at the time! So, you’ve been stalking me since then? What a creep! Did I owe you in your past life so much that you have to ruin my family? What else do you want!” she snarled at him.
All his previous gentleness and compliance vanished without a trace. He dragged her back to the bed roughly and pinned her under his body. “What else do I want? You still don’t know what I’m trying to do? I just f*cking want to own you and make you mine! Then I want to take obscene pictures of you and send them to Jackson so he can take a good look at them!”
Tiffany trembled with fright and didn’t dare to utter another word. She had only talked about Jackson that way to piss him off, but now she was afraid that Ethan would really do what he just said...
Looking at her terror-filled eyes, Ethan gradually calmed down. He didn’t let her go but caressed her cheek lovingly while whispering, “Don’t always anger me and make me lose control of myself, Tiffie… I can treat you very well and give you whatever you want, alright? I’m even willing to give you time to accept me. Can you give me a chance, please?”
