“Lucinda, hold on.


    Everything’s going to be okay.


    ”


    Hearing the familiar, masculine voice, Lucinda tried hard to sober herself up and forced herself to look up.


    When she saw clearly that it was indeed Nathaniel, she was filled with indignation.


    It took all her effort not to p him in the face at that moment.


    She struggled to free herself from his embrace, but she was extremely weak now.


    However, just as Nathaniel was carrying her into the bedroom, she kicked hard, catching him off-guard.


    He inadvertently lost his grip and Lucinda slipped from his arms.


    Her hand was grabbed at his cor instinctively, and the two fell to the ground together.


    Seeing that Lucinda’s head would hit the corner of the bed, Nathaniel reached out to protect her…


    “Ouch!”


    His back hit the edge of the bed hard.


    In addition, he hadn’t fully recovered from his previous injury, so the sharp pain was so excruciating that he nearly passed out on the spot.


    As if that wasn’t enough, the next second, he felt a harsh p on his face.


    Lucinda broke free from his embrace and forced him to lie t on the floor.


    She pressed her knees hard on his chest and she grabbed him by the cor roughly.


    When their eyes met, he saw that hers were full of unmasked hatred.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “f@ck you, Nathaniel Roberts! You really are a good actor, you know that? Did you really think that drugging me was the answer? No way in helt!”


    “Lucinda, calm down.


    This isn’t-“


    He was interrupted by another p to the face.


    This time, she used all her strength.


    Both desire and anger overwhelmed her, almost drowning out the voice of reason.


    The sharp pain in his back coupled with the stinging from the p caused his ears to ring deafeningly.


    Grimacing, he was in so much pain.


    Just as he was about to take a deep breath, he met Lucinda’s resentment-filled eyes.


    “Go to hell, you bastard!”


    Finally, Lucinda let go of him and struggled to reach for the rm on the bedside table.


    But before she could get close, uncontroble desire surged up in her body again.


    She felt so ufortable that she copsed to the floor and curled into a ball.


    She really wanted to satisfy her desire at this moment, but she couldn’t! She absolutely couldn’t!


    Lucinda pressed her burning-hot skin against the cool, tiled floor, trying desperately to sober herself up.


    Enduring the pain, Nathaniel struggled to stand up.


    That was when he saw her, writhing on the floor uncontrobly.
