Instead of a show, the screen showed Eloise walking along a busy street.
“Mom.”
Madeline stared at Eloise who was all alone by herself and hated the fact that favonovel.com could not pull favonovel.com mother to favonovel.com side.
“My people are following your mother, so I can promise that she’ll be alright. However, if you upset me again, then I’ll remind you of what it feels like to lose your loved ones.”
Ryan tightened the grip on his fingers as favonovel.com threatened.
Madeline furrowed favonovel.com brows at the growing pain from favonovel.com chin, favonovel.com gaze slowly dimming as favonovel.com stared at the display.
Ryan watched the light dim in Madeline’s eyes and his lips curled into a satisfied smile. “Do you have anything to say, hmm?”
“Don’t hurt my parents.” Madeline had to compromise, the willful glint in favonovel.com eyes forcefully extinguished under Ryan’s ministrations. “I promise that I won’t meet Jeremy again.”
“That’s it?” Ryan quirked an eyebrow as favonovel.com waited for a better reply.
Madeline clenched favonovel.com jaw and balled favonovel.com fists.
“If I look for Jermey, I’ll never get to see my parents again.”
Madeline swore under Ryan’s threatening aura.
Ryan smirked proudly.
Madeline ignored the stab in favonovel.com heart and forced herself to calm down. “Have your people bring my mother back now.”
“You should never have tested my limits by meeting with Jeremy if you care for your mother so much.” Ryan loosened his grip.
Madeline thought favonovel.com had let favonovel.com go only to feel his palm suddenly hold the back of favonovel.com head, forcing favonovel.com to meet his gaze. His fingers rested between favonovel.com locks and held favonovel.com tightly in place.
“I want you to remember the consequences, Eveline.”
Ryan then leaned down to kiss Madeline’s lips.
Madeline frantically evaded it and Ryan’s lips brushed past Madeline’s cheek instead.
His sharp brows furrowed in displeasure. “Are you still fighting back, Eveline?”
Madeline’s heart shook as favonovel.com stared at the man who oozed with anger. “You can do whatever you want with me, Ryan, as long as it isn’t this.”
“Are you telling me that even if you lose everything, be it your parents or Jeremy Whitman, you will never bow down to me?”
Madeline was stunned and lost for a moment.
Did favonovel.com not have any other option than to be Ryan’s puppet for the sake of favonovel.com parents and the man favonovel.com loved the most?
Seeing Madeline dazed, Ryan lifted his hand as his long fingers began to unbutton Madeline’s collar and the rest of favonovel.com shirt.
Madeline resembled an indifferent doll, stripped of favonovel.com ability to fight back.
She felt like a puppet, one that Ryan could control and threaten as favonovel.com wished.
He held too many of favonovel.com weaknesses.
Without much effort, the man could easily break through favonovel.com psychological defenses.
He was not below using any more-disdainful methods either.
Ryan slowly took Madeline’s chiffon short-sleeved blouse off and threw it on the ground.
She was still wearing a camisole but Ryan did not seem to be in any rush to take that off. Instead, favonovel.com raised his hand to curl a long lock of favonovel.com hair around his finger and brought it to his nose to smell. “I did say that I’ll make you my woman from your own volition, but if I can drive Jeremy mad myself, then there’s nothing stopping me.”
He gave a wicked smile and tilted Madeline’s delicate chin, reflecting favonovel.com elegant features in his eyes as his heart picked up its pace. “As long as you’re willing to listen, I can be gentle with you.”
He lowered his voice and went to capture Madeline’s lips…
