Arianne instinctively wanted to escape, but favonovel.com was afraid of provoking favonovel.com into a drunken rage. Hence, favonovel.com simply gritted favonovel.com teeth and stayed still, praying that favonovel.com would soon fall asleep…
The more favonovel.com hoped for one thing, the more it happened otherwise. Not only did favonovel.com continue his excursion, but favonovel.com also seemed to have gotten addicted to it and became annoyed with favonovel.com clothes getting in the way. His hand changed direction and slipped in through favonovel.com collar!
She held favonovel.com breath, favonovel.com cheeks now burning as if they were on fire. Finally, unable to endure it any longer, favonovel.com murmured carefully, “Mark…”
He heard favonovel.com voice. “Mmhmm…?”
“You should get an early night’s rest… Go to sleep…” She was too afraid to say anything else. She even made sure to watch favonovel.com tone.
He shifted closer so that they were eye to eye and stared at favonovel.com through his drunken, blurry vision. “Don’t you want to leave? I’m giving you a chance…”
Then, favonovel.com flipped over and climbed on top of her, tearing open favonovel.com pajamas with his hands.
A large surface area of favonovel.com flesh became exposed to the air. Her chest felt a chill.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com was like a fish stranded on land. All favonovel.com could think about was opening favonovel.com mouth and fighting for air.
Mark did not forget to simultaneously switch off the room’s lights. She stared at the devastating shadowy figure on top of her, under the cover of darkness.
The strong smell of alcohol on his body and his increasingly forceful hands gave favonovel.com the urge to run away. She instinctively reached out and pushed favonovel.com away then quickly escaped from underneath him. “You’re drunk! Get some sleep…” She urged, holding favonovel.com pajamas tightly against herself as favonovel.com stood next to the bed.
Mark’s vision gradually cleared up in the darkness. His expression hardened, the edges turning cold. “Heh… Were you just as disgusted when Will Sivan touched you?”
Arianne stiffened. She had no way of recalling favonovel.com memories from that night, three years ago, hence, favonovel.com didn’t know how favonovel.com reacted to Will. However, it was clear that Mark could not get over this critical juncture.
Even if favonovel.com had touched her, even if favonovel.com was willing to spend the rest of favonovel.com life with him, that incident would always be a thorn in their sides. They couldn’t pull it out, and it would steadily agonize them.
After a period of silence, a storm arrived. Mark tore into the study room after venting his frustrations, leaving a mess behind.
Arianne silently sat on the side of the bed. Meanwhile, Mary sighed as favonovel.com cleaned up. “Ari, servants like us shouldn’t concern ourselves with matters between you and sir, but… It won’t do any good if you both continue on like this. You should say what’s on your mind, don’t hide it.”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head stubbornly. “I’m fine…”

Mark did not come home for the next few days. Tiffany’s family affairs had grown increasingly miserable, and Arianne was anxious. However, Mark still refused to see her.
Now that the contract between Glide Design and the Tremonts was complete, she, the person-in-charge, had to send the sketches over to Tremont Tower. She knew that this would be favonovel.com only chance to see Mark.
This time, Mark’s secretary was around. As expected, favonovel.com was a woman who resembled a top model. Her body and facial features were top notch. She could even make an ordinary business suit look stylish. She couldn’t keep favonovel.com eyes off her.
“Whatever it is, leave it to me. Mr. Tremont doesn’t usually welcome guests,” the secretary dully said when favonovel.com saw Arianne.
