CEO's Secret Lover: Bound By Lust

The night was deep, like a black veil draped over the villa.

Half asleep and half awake, Lorna Xia felt that someone was touching her body.

'Did Dalton lose his patience?'

With a sweet smile on Lorna Xia's face, she touched the pillow with her soft hand subconsciously.

Since she and Dalton Xiao got the marriage certificate and moved into the wedding room, they had slept together for three days.

But their wedding was about to be held in less than a week. She wanted to keep her virgin until the wedding night.

"Honey, stop it." Turning her body to dodge, Lorna Xia said in a sleepy voice.

It seemed that she had fallen into an abyss in a nightmare. As soon as she finished her words, Lorna Xia suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

As her heart sank, she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

The caress disappeared, but Dalton Xiao wasn't with her.

'Was it an illusion? Or did someone else touch me?'

All of a sudden, Lorna Xia opened her eyes and turned around to find a figure standing by the bed in the darkness.

"Ah! Who are you?!"

The sudden fright made her cry out and her heart hanging in the air.

"Who is there? What do you want?"

Lorna Xia couldn't see the man's face clearly in the darkness. Suppressing the fear in her heart, she pretended to ask calmly.

The man standing by the bed didn't make any sound. Seeing that Lorna Xia had woken up from her dream, he suddenly pounced on her.

"Help! Help!"

Once again, Lorna Xia was grabbed by that pair of big hands. She screamed and struggled in horror and powerlessly, and her shrill cry for help broke through the silent night.

"Dalton... Where are you? Help! I need you!" Lorna Xia kept shouting loudly.

But as time passed, there was still no response to her cry.

While struggling, Lorna Xia suddenly touched the eyebrow razor on the bedside table. Frightened and humiliated, she picked up her only weapon to resist.

"Ouch! You hurt me, bitch!"

The razor pierced the man's neck and skin. He growled in pain and then let go of Lorna Xia's body and ran away.

The bedroom door was half open, and the night fell into silence again.

Frightened, Lorna Xia curled up and sat on the edge of the bed, shivering.

The man who molested her just now sounded familiar, but she couldn't figure out who he was.

And where did Dalton Xiao go? Why wasn't he at home?

Unable to find an answer, Lorna Xia decided to get out of bed to look for Dalton Xiao. However, just as she moved her body, a sound of footsteps from afar to the bedroom came.

She was even more scared. Sitting on the bed, she didn't dare to move and almost stopped breathing. She prepared to take the eyebrow razor again.

But before she could do anything, she heard a loud noise. The bedroom was ablaze with lights.

"Dalton! You're back at last! Where have you been? I'm worried about you!"

At the first sight of the tall man, Dalton Xiao, standing at the door, Lorna Xia rushed forward with joy.

However, what she held was a colder body, dignified and stiff, without any emotion.

It was not until then that Lorna Xia noticed that there were three people standing behind Dalton Xiao.

Two of them wore white coats, looking like doctors.

The other woman was very familiar to Lorna Xia. She was her stepmother, Marie Yu.

With these thoughts in her mind, Lorna Xia slowly straightened up and inexplicably looked at Dalton Xiao, whose face was gloomy and ferocious.

"Dalton, why did you take them home?"

At this moment, Lorna Xia was extremely shocked. She didn't know the two strange men, and the sudden appearance of her stepmother made her even more confused.

Since her father died in a car accident a year ago, her stepmother went back to her own parents' home not long after. When did she come back?

Lorna Xia's doubts were interrupted in the middle of her words. With a frown, Dalton Xiao said to her calmly, "Lorna, your paranoia is getting worse and worse. I have to find the doctor at midnight. These two are the doctors. They are here to help you."

"Paranoia? He said I'm a paranoia?"

With her eyes wide open, Lorna Xia couldn't understand what her fiance was talking about.

At this time, her stepmother, who had been silent by the door, suddenly said, "Lorna, don't you know that you have this kind of disease? Dalton was worried about you, so he told me about it. I came to see you through the night. Are you feeling better now? Don't worry, the doctors are here to help you."

Hearing this, Lorna Xia was completely confused. Although she had been bullied since childhood, she had always been very healthy under the protection of her father. Why did they say she was a paranoia?

"I...I'm not paranoid. What are you talking about?" Feeling confused, Lorna Xia touched her head and didn't know how to explain it.

"Miss Xia, according to Mr. Xiao, you often have auditory hallucination and visual hallucination recently. You often shout at midnight that someone is touching you."

Hearing Lorna Xia's words, the doctor told her straightforwardly about her condition.

The doctor's words made Lorna Xia flabbergasted. She suddenly remembered the man who wanted to sleep with her in the darkness.

She frowned and explained to the doctor in a hurry, "No, doctor. There is indeed someone who molested me. Just now, I was sleeping and suddenly woke up by someone. Later, I stabbed him with a razor!"

With a heavy sigh, Dalton Xiao looked at the doctor and said helplessly, "Doctor Feng, my fiancee has been like this every night recently. She always has this illusion. No matter how I comfort her, it's useless to explain to her. So I have no choice but to find you."

"No, Dalton. It's not an illusion! Look at the blood on the razor! It's real! Trust me."

Lorna Xia ran to the bedside and picked up the knife with blood on it.

But she didn't expect that this action would bring her disaster.

"Miss Xia, what are you doing?! Calm down! Don't do anything stupid! The man you said is not here. You are safe now, so put the knife down, okay?"

The doctor suddenly rushed up, grabbed the razor from her hand and twisted her hands behind her back.

"It hurts! I just show you the evidence. Let go of me!"

Lorna Xia twisted her body painfully, but she was unable to fight against the two strong men.

"Doctor, it seems that my fiancee needs treatment. Please help her," Dalton said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. Our mental hospital has always been adhering to the priciple of humanity treatment. Mr. Xia will soon recover," the doctor comforted Dalton Xiao.

"Lorna, please cooperate with the doctor. I will take care of your wedding in a few days," her stepmother comforted her.

Three days had passed, and Lorna Xia had been locked in the cubicle of the mental hospital.

Her body was firmly imprisoned on the bed, and the hospital gown with dark blue stripes was stained with food residue. She felt a sense of desperation and loneliness.

After she was hospitalized, she resisted fiercely and explained to the doctor that she was a normal person and didn't have any psychiatric disorders.

But no one believed what she said.

The more she proved herself to be normal in this place, the more the doctor would think that her condition was getting worse.

The conversation between she and Dalton before the doctor took her away kept flashing through Lorna Xia's mind, as if it was a nightmare that could not wake up.

"Lorna Xia, your family is here to visit you!"

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted. When she heard the doctor's voice, the door of the cubicle was pushed open rudely.

Looking into the distance with her dim eyes, Lorna Xia felt as if she had seen the tall figure of Dalton Xiao at the door again that night.

In the past few days, Lorna Xia had been waiting anxiously for Dalton Xiao to visit her. She missed him so much.

At this moment, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, and her gaunt face finally had a happy smile.

"Dalton, you're finally here! I miss you so much. Please take me away quickly. This is not a place for people to stay! This place is as black as hell, as dark as night. I can't bear it anymore. Please tell the doctor I'm better now. They don't believe what I said. Let's go home, okay?"

The door was closed and Lorna Xia sobbed and begged Dalton Xiao.

She watched Dalton Xiao walking towards her step by step, as if he was the Savior.

Dalton Xiao looked gentle with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Lorna, are you having a hard time here?" he asked in a strange tone.

Hearing the strange tone of Dalton Xiao, Lorna Xia was unable to think because of the inhumane torture in the mental hospital.

With tears in her clear eyes, she said slowly, "Dalton, if you don't come here, I will die here. In the morning, they said that they would do electric therapy for me in the evening. Please take me away. I'm so scared..."

Dalton Xiao nodded, stroking Lorna Xia's haggard face with his fingers.

"Okay." Dalton Xiao said in a straightforward tone, "It's not a big deal to take you away, but I have to give you a choice."

The sight of Lorna Xia's beloved fiance was like a glimmer of light in the darkness.

However, what Dalton Xiao said confused her. She asked, "Dalton, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Just then, before Dalton Xiao could say anything, there was a crisp sound of high-heeled shoes coming from outside. Then a woman with delicate makeup walked in gracefully.

"Honey, just come straight to the point. Don't talk so much nonsense with her!"

Hearing the voice of Marie Yu, Lorna Xia blinked her eyes hard.

She had thought that she was really hallucinating. She was sure that the woman in front of her was indeed her stepmother. And her stepmother called her fiance "honey."

"You... You called him honey?" Lorna Xia's mind went blank. She couldn't figure out the relationship between the two.

Seeing that Dalton Xiao was a little hesitant, Marie Yu curled her lips and said, "To tell you the truth, Lorna, we have been together for a long time. We were lovers before I became your stepmother."

With a dull look on her face, Lorna Xia was quickly processing the exceptionally complicated information that flew to her ears.

She knew that it wasn't an illusion, and she could hear every word of Marie clearly.

More than a year ago, Marie Yu married into the Xia Family. At the beginning, Lorna Xia was very disgusted with her father. Because her father married another woman.

Her mother died early because of giving birth to her. In fact, for many years, she did not object to her father finding another wife, but she could not accept that her stepmother was about the same age as her.

"Lorna, don't blame me for being cruel. I married your father just because he was the boss of a real estate company. Unfortunately, he was so mean that he had already written a will to leave all his property to you. Therefore, his car accident deserved more than death. He was so stingy."

With resentment in her eyes, Marie Yu slowly took out two documents from her handbag.

Dalton Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, quickly took the documents and shook them in front of Lorna's eyes.

"Lorna, you have lived a comfortable life since you were a child. You can't understand how we suffer from poverty. I admit that I approached you just for money, but now if you want to save yourself, you have to sign these two companies and property transfer agreements."

Hearing what Dalton Xiao said, tears blurred Lorna Xia's eyes.

Dalton Xiao's elegant face seemed to be covered with a heavy mist. It turned out that it was a fraud from beginning to end. He had never loved her. He just wanted her money. His words were so hurtful, like a whip.

"You... How despicable you are! You two bastards!" Lorna Xia shouted. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Marie didn't take it seriously. She said in a soft voice, "Humph, this is your last chance. If you don't sign the document and don't divorce Dalton, as your legal husband, he can lock you in a psychiatric hospital for a lifetime. So, I suggest you think again."

"Dalton, how can you do this to me? I loved you with every fibre of my being. But you only used me. You are a cold heartless man!"

Tears welled up in Lorna's eyes. She looked at the indifferent Dalton with resentment.

That afternoon, when Lorna took off her hospital gown and left the mental hospital, her hands couldn't help trembling.

She finally signed the two documents. At this moment, she sat in Dalton's car and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to fulfill the last promise, divorce.

The car stopped at the side of the road soon. With the help of Dalton, the weak and feeble Lorna walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lorna remembered that a week ago, they got married here with the marriage license, but their nightmare was out of her expectation. When she stepped into the Civil Affairs Bureau again, she unexpectedly divorced Dalton.

It only took Lorna more than ten minutes to break up with Dalton. But Lorna felt she had occurred in another life.

Looking at Lorna arrogantly, Marie said arrogantly, "Thank you for your cooperation. Now you are free again. Maybe we'll see you around."

With a calm look on his face, Dalton said to her without any apology, "Lorna, I'll leave the other apartment to you. You can live there. We'll take care of your company."

Hearing his words, the absent-minded Lorna couldn't help laughing. She thought she heard the most ridiculous pity in the world.

When her father passed away, Dalton happened to appear in Lorna's life. He had brought her too much warmth and comfort, but the price was to make her lose everything.

Dalton was a generous man, who used her own things to make charity. This situation was so ridiculous.

Tears welled up in Lorna's eyes as she laughed sadly. With a vicious look on her face, she said, "Dalton, it seems that I have to thank you in turn? You will pay for it! I will curse you all my life!"

After saying that, Lorna tore up the divorce certificate in her hand, threw it on the roadside, turned around and left.

Lorna felt that her body was so light that she could fly in the sky. After several days of torture and heartbroken, she felt a sense of relief. Maybe this just meant she was finally free and could have a new life.

But she swore to herself that as long as there was a chance to turn over, she would definitely take back what belonged to her. She would let them pay the price.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Lorna heard Dalton's harsh voice behind her. She took two steps forward, hesitated for a moment and turned around.

"What? Do you regret giving me the house?" she asked.

Lorna's delicate features were full of arrogance and stubbornness, and she burst out a chilling resentment in grief and indignation.

Dalton didn't say anything. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly rushed up.

"Eat this!"

With a pill in his hand, Dalton put it into Lorna's mouth regardless of her struggle.

Frightened and angry, Lorna wanted to spit it out, but her mouth was covered tightly by Dalton. Finally, she had no choice but swallowed it down.

Then she was dragged back into the car by Dalton like a weak chicken.

The car drove away. She slapped the locked door in horror and shouted, "Dalton, you are such a greedy bastard! Now I have given you everything. What else do you want to do to me?!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Marie sneered and said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "We've thought about it for a while. It's better to send you back to the psychiatric hospital, in case you take revenge on us in the future."

After crying for a long time, Lorna finally calmed down. Her face was as pale as paper, and her tears were dry on her cheeks.

The city was shrouded in darkness, she closed her eyes and waited for the doom to come. She was also overwhelmed with sadness, fear and anger.

For the past few days, she had almost eaten nothing, so she had neither energy nor strength to resist.

She could only accept her fate. Perhaps the mental hospital was her last destination in her life. She would live there forever and be really mad in the end. She didn't dare think what would happen in her life. She had no hope either of being set free by these two people, or of being rescued by other people.

After a while, the car stopped slowly. With her eyes closed, Lorna leaned back on the back seat. Then she heard the door open.

"Take her in first. Young master hasn't come back yet."

A low and hoarse voice came from outside the car.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a luxurious villa like an ancient castle standing in front of her in the dim light on both sides of the road.

This was not a mental hospital. It seemed like a private villa.

In astonishment, Lorna saw a short middle-aged man looking at her up and down.

"Well, please greet young master on behalf of me. We are leaving now,"

Dalton said in a low voice and nodded. Before Lorna could react, she was dragged out of the car by two men in black.

Her mind was in a mess. She watched Dalton's car driving away in astonishment.

'Where is this place? And who is the young master that Dalton is talking about?' Lorna wondered.

These two men dragged Lorna all the way to the fragrant villa yard.

When she was about to ask, a strong dizziness suddenly made her weak.

After a long time, Lorna woke up from an unbearable heat.

She felt thirsty, as if her whole body was roasted in front of a bonfire.
