Chapter 3 You Are Mine

The man's kiss was so deep and passionate that Euralia couldn't breathe. She felt like she had been thrown into a sea, floating and sinking in the salty water. For a moment, her chest felt so heavy and her brain was starting to buzz.

She sobbed and struggled.

The man's strength seemed to amount to that of a dozen men. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.

Just then, the man pulled back. "Let go! Let go of me!"

At the moment, Euralia was gasping hard. Tears ran down the corners of her eyes, filling her small face.

The man acted as if he hadn't heard her.

Her cries echoed in the dark warehouse. Even in the dim light, it could be easily seen that her body and her pale face was in a distraught mess.

"Please, don't..."

For a while, it looked as if Euralia barely had any strength in her anymore. She squirmed on the bed under his grip, making her all the more alluring.

Gasping, she held the man's shoulders tightly with her hands, her nails penetrating into his skin. There was a wave of pain inside him which was mixed with an unexplainable excitement.

The man's eyes looked at her darkly, and his hand gripped her arm tighter.

His cold fingertips seemed to have an unusual effect on her, and she couldn't help but feel even more torn about what she was feeling right now. In her heart, however, she really didn't want any of this to happen.

'My wedding's tomorrow... I can't... I can't lose my virginity now!'

She struggled harder and bit down hard on her lower lip. Tiny beads of blood seeped out.

"You..."

Looking at her tearful eyes, filled with panic and desperation, the man gradually stopped his previously unyielding movements.

"I'm sorry..."

There was a complicated look on his face. The desire in his eyes was gradually fading away. Slowly, he bent down and gently kissed the blood at the corner of her mouth.

Euralia still had tears in her eyes. Her lips were red and swollen against her pale face.

Ever since she was a child, Bill had taken care of her as if she was a priceless treasure. She had never been exposed to any hardships all of her life.

In her eyes, she saw and believed that the whole world was inherently good and kind. When she had nearly died, Bill had unconditionally spoiled her and allowed her to grow up a carefree life.

The man took a deep breath and suppressed the lingering anger he still had. "You shouldn't have pissed me off," he said with forbearance.

"No, I didn't... I didn't try to.. I... " sobbed Euralia.

The man sighed helplessly and forced a bitter smile. "Forget it."

"Will you let me go now?" There was a flash of hope in her eyes that quickly disappeared.

"Let you go?" The man smiled and kissed her lips again. He whispered in her ear, his voice low like a purr, "You are my woman now. Today, tomorrow, forever. I won't let you marry anyone else."

After he finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped away the tears on her face.

His action was so gentle that he looked like a thoughtful lover, which made Euralia speechless for a while.

"Go to sleep, my sweetheart. You will be home when you wake up." He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

A strange fragrance came to her nose, and then her brain went blank all of a sudden. With all her might, she tried to stay awake, but she uncontrollably started to drift away into darkness...

"Wake up, Euralia!"

A familiar voice rang in her ear. The voice seemed to come from somewhere far away, like a dream.

Struggling to open her eyes, Euralia felt dizzy. It took her a long time before she finally awoke.

"Miss Euralia! Great, you're finally awake!" Terri Chen exclaimed happily.

With her eyes wide open, she clutched the blanket tightly "Where am I?" she asked in a tense and frightened voice. Her mind was still dwelling in the dark and cold abandoned warehouse.
