Chapter 486 Torture
Michael sounded so arrogant that Nicholas frowned and became more aloof. “Mr. Shaw, you are now acting with such unyielding tenacity like the forces of nature, which is more suited to doing business in the corporate arena.”
Nicholas looked at Michael with a dark expression as he spoke those words. “Doing business in the corporate world requires one’s own competence and ability. If anyone tries to achieve something by using a woman, it only shows incompetence.”
Although Michael did not say it directly, he was implying that Nicholas wanted to see me in order to get some information that would give him some advantage.
Unsure if that was the case, I turned toward Nicholas. From the expression in his eyes which he could not hold back, I realized that Michael was right. Initially, I had felt guilty when Nicholas told me he only wished to talk like old friends. Now that Michael had exposed his intentions of trying to use me to get information, immediately what little fondness I had for him was gone.
“Let’s go, Michael. I’m tired and I need to rest.”
After knowing what Nicholas’ intentions were, I did not want to waste any more time. Holding Michael’s arm, I just wanted to leave.
That was just the way I was. I hated to be used. I never thought Nicholas would use me but I had overestimated myself.
“Yeah, go home and sleep well.”
Upon hearing my words, Michael turned around and looked at me with a tender and adoring gaze.
Michael’s love for me had always been unconditional. Perhaps we had come together motivated by the same objectives which were mutually beneficial. However, I discovered later that he treated me well without expecting anything in return.
Perhaps, Nicholas really liked me but his fondness was not as deep as Michael’s. His kindness to me was associated with getting something in return which was the reason why I did not want any entanglement with him.
Without glancing at Nicholas again, I left with Michael holding me by the waist.
Once home, I checked on Amaury. Seeing that he was already asleep, I went to the bathroom to shower.
Even though it was just a birthday party, I felt really exhausted. After coming out of the bathroom, I got into bed straightaway just wanting to lie still.
Michael stood up and looked down at me. Then, without a word, he went into the bathroom.
Perhaps I was too tired, I drifted off to sleep quickly. I did not know when Michael came out of the bathroom but I was awakened by his caresses. His huge hand was exploring my back amorously.
I was already exhausted and so I was quite irritable when he provoked me that way. Slapping his hand away, I tried to go back to sleep.
However, he had no intention of letting me off. After being quiet for a few seconds, his hand was on my back, exploring again.
“Michael, that’s enough! Go to sleep!”
Having been abroad for the past year, I had learned quite a few skills in the corporate arena. To me, the most important skill I learned was to control my temper. At the instant when I was most exhausted, I really wanted to kick him out of the bed.
“Isn’t it a bit early to sleep? Don’t you remember that at the party, I said I would settle scores with you tonight? You would be getting off too easily if I let you sleep now.”
His voice came from behind me, sexy and low. Then he bent close to my ear, sounding amorous.
My neck felt ticklish and I certainly knew what his intentions were. I was quite awed by his libido. We have been busy the whole day and I’m so tired but he was still in the mood for that. In fact, I am amazed by his stamina in bed.
“I’m really tired today. Can we do it tomorrow?”
My voice had become a little hoarse as I was so sleepy that I could not even open my eyes. I just wanted to sleep, but I could not refuse him too curtly, otherwise, the man would definitely not agree. So, I had to use a gentler tone.
“No way. I have tolerated too much today. I need to release myself or else I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Without any hesitation, he insisted on getting what he wanted, with no room for negotiation. As he spoke, his huge hand uncovered my sleeping gown and ventured inside.
What he meant by having tolerated much was the appearance of Nicholas at the party. The man’s possessiveness was simply indescribable.
I sighed helplessly and decided to ignore him. I had thought that he would be put off by my attitude and lose interest soon. Unfortunately, I had underestimated the level of his desire.
Even though I did not speak or move, his desire was not quenched. He placed his hands on my breasts and held them tightly. Under his provocation, my exhaustion seemingly vanished.
Resignedly, I sighed and turned myself to face him. As I stretched out my hands to wrap around his neck, I brought my red lips up to him.
After it was over, Michael got off me, and then hugged me tightly. Then, his domineering voice came from behind, “Anna, stay away from Nicholas. In the future, I don’t want to see the two of you together. I don’t want to see you talking to him!”
When Michael spoke these words, his attitude was completely domineering and arrogant. I frowned without a word. This man was still jealous of the Nicholas incident.
I had explained countless times that there was absolutely nothing between Nicholas and me. Furthermore, in the presence of so many guests today, nothing could happen. That man’s possessiveness was just too strong.
