Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 66

Arianne didn’t respond and simply tightened her grip on the towel around her. She shut her eyes, refusing to look at him. Perhaps she wouldn’t feel so afraid if she avoided looking at him…

Mark’s gaze landed on the scar on her shoulder. She was left with this scar because of him… But now, he saw it as a mockery. “You disgust me!”

Mark left and didn’t do anything else to her. This was different from his usual way of dealing with things.

The bedroom door slammed shut. Arianne sat stiffly on the bedside like a soulless puppet.

She stayed up the entire night, and no one called her to collect a dead-drunk Mark Tremont. He wouldn’t turn into a completely different person in his drunken state and paw at her neck like a cat, either...

At eight in the morning, Mary knocked on the door. “Ari, are you up? Would you like something to eat? What happened… between you and Mr. Tremont?”

Arianne huddled further under the covers. “I’m not eating. And it’s nothing.”

Mary sighed and didn’t ask any more questions.

Her phone rang. Arianne didn’t feel like answering it but, at the same time, was irritated by its noisy ringtone. She picked up her phone weakly, answered the call, and listened to Tiffany’s voice through the receiver. “Ari, are you okay? Ethan’s explained it to me. I never doubted you… Did Mark do anything to you last night?”

Arianne paused, then said, “No, I’m fine.”

The tone of her voice sounded off. Tiffany noticed this and became worried. “Why is your voice so hoarse? Are you sick?”

Arianne sniffed. She had lost her sense of smell and now couldn’t smell a thing. “A little. I’m fine. I gotta go.”

“It’s not him…” Mary quickly said, “Focus on getting better, then look at the news.”

Arianne couldn’t wait. She grabbed her phone and swiped through it. News of Mark dragging her out of a hotel had been leaked, and there were pictures too. The caption read: “Looks like Mrs. Tremont has been caught having an affair with her best friend’s boyfriend. Mark Tremont angrily drags her away!”

She did not expect for one misunderstanding to explode into such a state. This was no longer an issue between a few people…

The contents of the news made her unnerved. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. She felt as if she was being strangled.

Mary quickly snatched her phone away. “Stop reading that, Ari! Focus on getting well. It will be alright as long as Mr. Tremont believes in you, understand?”
