Jovan pulled Renee into his arms.


    "You..." Renee started to struggle, but suddenly, a strong smell hit her nose. She opened her mouth to


    protest, but before she could say anything, she cked out.


    When Renee woke up, she found herself lying in arge bed. She instantly realized that she was at


    Jovan''s manor in the suburbs away from the city. When she had surgery to donate her eyes to Jovan,


    she hadid in the same bed.


    "You''re awake?" Jovan''s voice came from above her, gentle and passionate.


    A chill crept up Renee''s spine, and she sat up, leaning back against the head of the bed. "Why did you


    bring me here? Don''t tell me you want to force me to fall in love with you; it doesn''t suit you, Jovan."


    "You still can make jokes. It seems like you''re in good spirits." Jovan smiled and walked to the wine


    cab. He poured himself a ss of wine and went to sit on the sofa near the bed, leisurely crossing


    his legs. Slowly, he said, "Forcing you to love me, hmm? Well, I can certainly give it a try. I was too


    polite to you, so our rtionship never progressed. Maybe we''ll be closer if we have some


    physical contact."


    Disgusted, Renee snorted."So, you''re saying that women of the street have to love every customer


    passionately, and victims have to fall in love with the people who take advantage of them?"


    Jovan was happy that she was arguing with him, and chuckled. "It''s possible, you know. Have you ever


    heard of Stockholm syndrome? It''s when kidnapped victims fall in love with their kidnappers." "Jovan, I


    thought you were just extreme, but now I realize that you''re a pervert." Renee gradually became less


    anxious. She tried to get out of bed and walked toward him. "I''m just a blind and useless person. Both


    my body and heart are with Stefan, so you''re just deceiving yourself by locking me up here. What''s the


    point? If I were you, I would let myself go. At least, we could still be friends... Honestly, it was hard


    during the half year I was with you, but it made me happy knowing that you weren''t a bad person-you


    were just an arrogant person who needs love." Renee tried to use their previous rtionship to


    persuade Jovan to let her go.


    However, Jovan was not moved. He swirled the wine in his ss and looked up at her. "I''m not as kind


    as you think. I''ve always been apetitive person, and if I want something, I''ll do everything in my


    power to get it. When I gave my eyes and blood to Stefan, I didn''t do it out of love for my cousin... I just


    wanted you. However, even though I gave those up, you still didn''t fall in love with me. Since I couldn''t


    move you, I figured I might as well disgust you. Maybe you''ll fall in love with me as time goes by. Even


    if it''s through trauma, you''ll still remember me for the rest of your life. " Jovan had never thought of


    himself as an honorable person. In the past, he had tried to win Renee over by being honorable, but it


    had just marked him as a fool. He had sacrificed himself to grant others'' wishes.


    Hence, he wanted to try another method to get what he wanted.


    He stood up and held her waist. "Soon, you''ll discover that my love for you isn''t any less than Stefan''s


    love for you!"Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
