Averie smelled the thick, cloying scent of foreign perfume on him. She instantly furrowed her brows.
A few days ago, the nanny said that there was a group of young and pretty ladies at the villa. Those people had stayed there for three days. They had not left the villa during that 35 time.
The foreign perfume Averie smelled on him should be from one of the women in the group.
Even with his shirt off, the scent of perfume was still strong.
Averie pushed his head away in disgust. She said coldly, “Don’t touch me!”
She had interrupted him, and he glared at her.
“You have the scent of another woman on you!” Averie could not control her anger. “You’re a filthy man! Don’t touch me!”
She shoved him away using both her hands.
After three days of rest, she had recovered some of her strength, and she had almost succeeded in pushing Elyette off the bed.
Her words and actions aroused a beastly desire in him.
Supporting himself on one hand, he swiftly undid his belt. Initially, he had approached only with the intention of ma king out with her. He had not intended to go the full nine yards.
However, now, he had to punish her!
“Didn’t you call me a monster? Have you ever seen a monster who isn’t dirty?” His voice was hoarse. He was breathing hard. He grabbed her chin and jerked her face up, forcing her to look at him. “I’m the filthiest man on earth! But that does not stop me from wanting you!”
He had her pinned down, and she could not resist or move.
Tears silently fell from the corner of her eyes. She looked at his face. It was blurry yet clear at the same time!
“Off! Turn off the lights!” she yelled hysterically.
Seeing her anger propelled him to deny her requests.
However, the tears at the corner of her eyes pierced his heart! He flicked the switch, plunging the room in darkness once more.
The room was dark, and the only thing he could hear was her silent sobs, and his heavy breathing
A long moment passed, and the violent storm passed. Elyette began to breathe more calmly.
He lay down next to her and fell into a dead slumber. She swiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with her hand.
Then, she shoved him to the side. He lay on his side, next to her. His long arms curled around her waist. It was as if this was the most natural thing in the world.
How comical! He was probably not drunk, and neither had he lost his senses!
Even when he was at his craziest, he still remembered that her leg was injured! Right from the beginning, he placed her injured leg aside. Thus, at that moment, her entire body was sore, but her injured leg felt much more relaxed.
Averie found it hard to stay calm.
Other than the scent of their bodies and sweat, there was also the scent of foreign perfume lingering in the air.
Averie’s body stiffened. A terrifying thought popped into her mind – she was going to kill him! That way, she would no longer be in pain. Her two children would be safe too! Once this thought appeared, it spread to every nerve in her body. She could not stop its spread.
Averie reached under the pillow and drew out the dagger!
Nick had given her a dagger when she had made her escape. She was to use it to protect herself.
When Elyette had rescued her, she still had the dagger in her hands. Initially, Elyette had wanted to take the dagger; he was afraid that she might try to commit suicide with it. However, Averie demanded that he give it to her.
Once she had the dagger back, she had stored it under her pillow. The dagger had saved her life before, and it was meaningful to her, so she kept25 it.
However, never once did she think he would he humiliate her like he had! He had crushed her dignity, and she completely lost it! At that moment, all she wanted to do was kill him and then kill herself.
She would kill him, then kill96 herself!
She was a doctor. She knew where to stab for a quick death!
Averie grabbed the dagger, and she began to select a vein. She looked at his faced closely.
With the dim light of sunset, she could vaguely see his handsome face.
His eyes were shut, and he was sleeping soundly. The sheets did not cover his neck, and it called out to 49 her..
Averie lifted the dagger with trembling hands.
All she needed to do was make one move, and in half an hour, she would be35 free!
Just as the dagger was in line with his throat, she lost her nerve.
Did she really want to kill him? Did he truly deserve to die?
By killing him, she would die too. Could she bear to abandon her two children?
Thoughts flooded her mind, and her eyes felt sore. She did not want to die. She could not kill him, but she also could not bear to stand his endless harassment! Reducing him to a vegetable was the best thing she could do!
However, Averie was not confident that she would be able to turn him into a vegetable without killing him. Her breath came out in heavy pants.
She could not go through with the plan! She slowly calmed down.
As she was about to lower the dagger, Elyette opened his eyes.
He saw her holding the dagger above him. He did not need an explanation to figure out what she was trying to do.
He grabbed her hands that were clutching the dagger.
Averie did not expect Elyette to suddenly wake up! She was scared half to death. She wanted to explain herself, but her lips merely quivered and no words came out.
“Are you trying to kill me!?” He looked at her. His voice was rough, and there was a tremble in it. “Averie, are you trying to kill me?”
Averie felt as if her wrist was about to shatter under his grip!
“Elyette, let go!”
“Are you trying to kill me to avenge your son!” Elyette could not hear Averie. He was immersed in his endless grief.
Averie could no longer hide nor explain herself.
“Yes! I want to kill you! Elyette! I have had enough of you torturing me! I can’t live like this anymore!” Averie cried, spilling everything.
“Okay… Okay…” Elyette muttered. He gripped her hands tightly in his and directed the dagger to his heart. “Here. Stab right into it!”
Elyette was not wearing a shirt. His hands were strong!
Averie saw the tip of the dagger cutting through his skin. Blood trickled out!
She was so frightened she sobbed, “Let go! Elyette, let go! I won’t kill you! I don’t want to kill you! I don’t want to do it anymore!”
“What are you afraid of? That I’ll turn into a ghost and haunt you?” He pressed the dagger deeper into his chest. Pain spread through him. His voice became a low rasp, “No, I won’t… I won’t look for you… Averie. The next life… I won’t look for you anymore…” Averie was scared out of her wits! She yelled out hysterically, “Someone! Help !”
Averie’s screams brought the bodyguard, who was standing guard outside, bursting into the room!
The lights came on the moment the door to the room flew open:
The bodyguard was bewildered at the sight that met him.
“Doctor! Quick, go get the doctor!” The bodyguard yelled behind him before he sprinted to the25 bed.
Averie cried, “Get his hand off! Quickly get his hand off!”
The bodyguard had thought that Averie was the one who was trying to kill Elyette, however, it took him quite a bit of force to pry Elyette’s hand from the96 dagger.
It was clear that it was Elyette who was gripping the dagger and trying to kill himself.
In other words, Elyette was committing suicide.
Once the bodyguard managed to pry Elyette’s hand off the dagger, Averie immediately got off the bed.
The doctor rushed over with his medical suitcase.
Averie immediately snatched his suitcase and ran over to the bed to stop Elyette’s bleeding!
