An Enchanted Innocence

Chapter 28

The noise woke the dizzily lying girl underneath the man. What was she doing?! When she saw that most of her clothes had been taken off and that the man was pressing her down, the lucid her nearly passed out.

Heavens!

What was this arrogant man doing?! She shyly stretched out her palms to push him away. The man on top of her did not expect to be pushed away. Unguarded, he fell off the sofa with that push.

"Peng!" He fell onto the floor with a loud thud and was pulled out of his reverie. His forehead scrunched up as he lifted his head to look at her.

"You! You pervert!" she blurted out. Sitting up on the sofa, she used her hands to chain her coat. Her reaction caused him to let out an exasperated laugh.

This dumb girl, who was seducing whom exactly?!

"I am the pervert now? Stupid girl, weren't you enjoying yourself earlier?" he teased.

Her cheeks were aflame with shame when he pointed that out.

"Who said that I was enjoying it?! I-I just was quite disoriented!" Her heart steadied and lost its feeling of guilt at that excuse.

"Ah..." He glanced at her briefly and stood up from the floor.

"What are you doing?" She immediately panicked when she saw him stand up.

"What am I doing?" Arching a brow, he swept his eyes across her. "What do you think?"

"You! Don't come over!" She gulped audibly and fixed him with her eyes warningly. For some reason, she felt that he was oozing with evilness, and this somewhat unnerved her.

"Don't come over?" He leered at her coldly. "Girl, do you think you can provoke me and then use a lame excuse to placate me?"

This d*mn girl actually said that she was in a disoriented state! How dare this girl disrespect him to this extent?!

"..." 

This was not the time to think of any thing, though. Seeing him closing in on her fast, she agitatedly raced for a way to escape this man's 'claws'. When he saw her eyes dart around, how could he not know that her thoughts were running wild? He did not mind her misunderstanding, though.

"Ethan, wait! You are tall, rich, and handsome. You won't force a girl. If words get out, how embarrassing will that be for you?" She rushed to reason with him, her eyes locking onto his earnestly.

He sneered. "You're not someone else's girl. You're my wife...My legally married wife. We are living together."

Good! This d*mn  girl is always provoking my anger so easily!

"This is all just a pretense! I'm not your real wife; I'm also not really cohabiting with you! You see; although we're under one roof, we're not sleeping in the same room." She quickly drew a clear line between them. However, the more words she spoke, the angrier he became. His determination not to let her escape, thus, grew firmer.

"He he! Serena, don't tell me that you want to be in the same room and in the same bed as I do? Well then, from today onward, we will do just that," he spat coldly, continuing to smirk.

"... No, don't spout nonsense!" she said angrily.

"Who wants to sleep in the same room and bed as you do?!" She glared at him furiously. "Only the person I love has that privilege! You are not!"

Her biological mother had always instilled in her the need for a lady to preserve her chastity and protect her dignity. She could not let this man dross her.  Even this Ethan could not have this privilege despite her liking him! Her refusal nearly made him vomit blood from intense anger! Still, despite not actually puking out blood, he was not far from it. He looked at her with a gloomy face, his dark eyes full of anger. What did she mean that he was not the one?
