However, Ryan was not below using any brutal methods at all!
Madeline tried to pull away from Ryan’s grasp, but the man was too strong and favonovel.com bones felt like they were moments away from being shattered.
As favonovel.com was being forced to follow behind him, both favonovel.com slippers slipped off amidst favonovel.com chaotic footsteps.
Anger exploded from Ryan. The man was no longer the kind and gentlemanly person favonovel.com once knew.
He dragged Madeline to the villa’s storage room where all sorts of trinkets were placed. Without exposure to sunlight, there was a musky scent of age in the room.
Ryan pressed Madeline against the wall and grabbed both favonovel.com shoulders, forcing favonovel.com to face his enraged expression. “Why must you be so stubborn? Must I torment you? Let me tell you, Eveline Montgomery, I don’t love you as much as you think. My heart will not soften when it comes to you!”
Madeline pursed favonovel.com pink lips and broke into a sarcastic smile. “Who cares if you love me or not? Torture me if you want, Ryan. I don’t care if I die. But you’ll never win my husband!”
That was something Ryan did not want to hear the most.
He grabbed Madeline’s slender neck as his eyes grew predatory.
“Do you not fear death at all, Eveline?”
“Death? The only thing I fear is not seeing the man I love the most again!”
“You…”
Enraged, Ryan tightened his grip on favonovel.com neck.
Unable to breathe freely, color began to flush on Madeline’s cheeks, but favonovel.com refused to beg or make a sound.
Ryan wanted to tighten his hold so that favonovel.com could control Madeline with fear, but favonovel.com found himself unable to do so.
He refused to admit that favonovel.com loved Eveline. At most, favonovel.com only fancied her—at least that was what favonovel.com hypnotized himself to think.
Logic told favonovel.com that favonovel.com would lose this game the moment favonovel.com fell in love with Eveline.
Watching Madeline go short of breath, Ryan finally let go of her.
Madeline slid down the wall and fell onto the icy floorboards. “Cough, cough…”
She coughed severely but refused to back down.
Ryan squatted to grab Madeline by the back of favonovel.com neck and pulled favonovel.com toward him.
“Stay here and think clearly whether you want to be my wife or not! My patience is not boundless!”
Every word favonovel.com barked out as a reminder was accompanied by the flames of rage in his eyes.
Madeline pushed favonovel.com away and tried to support favonovel.com body into an upright position with difficulty. Stubbornness and strong will flared in favonovel.com eyes.
With the storage door closed, Madeline was left with the glimmer of light from the only window inside.
She sat against the wall, favonovel.com feet frosty and favonovel.com body cold.
Madeline’s eyes grew wet as favonovel.com stared at the ray of light.
“I’ll wait for you, Jeremy. I promise I will…”
She closed favonovel.com eyes to take a rest in exhaustion. After who knew how long, favonovel.com heard the door open.
Madeline found that the sky had darkened by the time favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes. A maid walked in with food in tow. She took a look but did not move to eat at all.
Soon later, Ryan came as well.
The man’s expression was cold at the sight of the untouched food. He squatted to take the utensils before placing a spoonful of food by Madeline’s mouth.
“Open up.”
Madeline pulled favonovel.com pale lips away and turned favonovel.com face.
Ryan’s gaze hardened as favonovel.com grabbed Madeline’s jaw with one hand and tried to force-feed favonovel.com with the other.
Madeline broke out of his grasp. “Don’t touch me. I’ll eat, okay? Jeez!”
Ryan’s gaze turned gentle at favonovel.com compliance.
Madeline took the food. Just as Ryan thought favonovel.com was going to eat, favonovel.com suddenly threw the bowl harshly at his feet.
The broken shards cut the back of his hand, leaving a red trail in its path.
Rage erupted from the man and Ryan grabbed Madeline’s jaw. “Eveline Montgomery!”
