Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785

She lied on the bed and trembled. “Getting hit by a car, cornered by some thugs…those were all your doing.”

“You realized that?” He kissed her tentatively. “How else will I trap you? I was pissed that you couldn’t recognize your own husband. I shouldn’t have…”

“Ah!” She gasped and tried to push him away. “Salvatore…”

“Call me Darling, like you used to,” he breathed heavily and requested.

Ashlynn shook her head in fear.

“It’s alright. You will call me that again sooner or later. Tonight is going to be a night that you will never forget…” He said, before kissing her obsessively.

By the time Ashlynn woke up again, it was already the next day. There was no one next to her, so she laid dazedly on the bed to stare at the ceiling as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Are you awake?” Corentin walked inside with a plate of food in his hand.

She struggled to get up and glared at him with fear and anger in her eyes.

He sat down by the bed and stirred the soup gently. “You’ve been up all night, so you are probably hungry. Eat up.” He moved the spoon toward her lips.

Ashlynn would rather die than to be fed by him, so she summoned up the strength to shove his hand away.

The spoon fell to the ground, and Corentin simply stared at the ground.

“You found me and married me again to make me suffer. Sure. I worked with the police to arrest you. It makes sense that you want to seek revenge! Just kill me!”

“Kill you?” He turned around, not even the glasses he wore could conceal the dark looks in his eyes. “Why on earth would I kill you? You will never understand how much I care for you.

“Understand? I only understand what a monster you are! You killed my parents, and you expect me to forgive you?”

He threw the plate across the room and the deafening sound startled her into moving backward.

“They deserved to die!” He dragged her closer, before continuing in a soft voice. “Did I startle you? It’s just a plate. It won’t hurt you. Don’t be scared.”

Tears scrolled down her cheeks as her lips quivered, as the one thing that scared her most had always been him.

“They were just your foster parents. They weren’t nice to you. They used you and bullied you. Did they not deserve to die?” He touched her cheeks and wiped away her tears.

As they moved, the blanket on Ashlynn’s body slid off, revealing the red marks all over her body.

Corentin’s amber–colored eyes darkened as he swiftly jumped onto the bed.

She burst into tears and punched him. “Just kill me, Salvatore! Ahh! Umph!”

He devoured her lips as though he was trying to swallow her whole.

Just then, his phone suddenly started ringing relentlessly.

She thought back to how Amy tripped her and realized that Corentin must have seen it, but did not think much of it as she preferred to have one less enemy.

“Who did something wrong?” A woman walked over.

Ashlynn turned to look and saw a beautiful woman in long dresses and high heels, she looked sophisticated, like a model walking out of a fashion magazine.

“Good day, Ms. Hilton,” the butler greeted her.

Ashlynn instantly came to a realization of who the woman was. It was the woman whom Amy claimed to be a perfect match for Corentin.

Meredith spotted Ashlynn right away. She had heard news that Corentin was keeping a mistress in his mansion. Though she felt that Ashlynn seemed like an ordinary woman, she still felt defensive toward her. Deciding to pretend that she did not know a thing, Meredith asked, “Who are you? I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.”

“This is Mr. Lloyd’s guest,” the butler said.

“A guest?” Meredith walked toward Ashlynn and introduced herself. “Hello, I’m Meredith Hilton. I’m Corentin’s…” She paused and simply smiled mysteriously. “I didn’t know Corentin had a guest this…young.”

“Have you known him for many years?” Ashlynn asked.

Meredith had not expected her to ask such a question and felt as though she was being challenged.

“I hope you won’t misunderstand. I am just curious. That’s all.”

Meredith shot her a careless smile. “It’s fine. I can tell you. We’ve known each other for years. Our families are friends and business partners, and we are engaged. So, why are you here?”
