“Hey! Mr. Weiss! Let go of me!” However, he didn’t spare her any time to struggle out of his grip as he led her toward his study room.
“You! Let go of my girlfriend!” James shouted from behind, but Sophia was already being pulled into the study room by Arthur and the door shut with a loud thud.
Sophia could only feel Arthur being oppressive before he pinned her against the door. His fresh scent enveloped her as he leaned forward to question her with a cold tone. “You dare to flirt with me when you’re already dating someone?”
Raising her head, she saw his stony face and ice-cold eyes.
She insisted, “I’m sorry, b-but I never flirted with you.”
“Never? You didn’t stop me when I kissed you in the hotel that day. Can’t you remember?” If that was the case, Arthur would help Sophia to recall that day’s events.
Her cheeks flushed as she nudged him. “Don’t do this. My boyfriend’s not far away.”
Arthur pressed her harder on the door. “Does he know we kissed? Does he know you melted in my embrace like a good girl that day?”
Sophia was short of breath at their proximity. Her face was turning crimson. What does he want?
“I’ll be frank to him. We only kissed, after all. He’ll forgive me.” She turned her head away from him.
“When did you find yourself a boyfriend?” Arthur was confused as he had initiated an investigation on her. The man who showed up today was not in the findings.
“He returned to the country last week. He’s really my boyfriend,” Sophia explained promptly to make him believe her.
“You’ve been sleeping with each other?” His eyes turned cold when he asked as if he was ripping off his disguise and revealing his cruel inner self.
His expression was a heart-wrenching view for her. However, she had no choice but to lie to him. Shutting her eyes, and in the most solemn tone she could manage, she said, “We had done everything we should as a couple two years ago.”
Her statement was even solid with a precise time. Nobody would ever have any more doubt about their relationship.
Arthur was dumbfounded by her calm statement. Sophia could sense his disdain as he took a step back, indicating that she succeeded in her plan. Martha once told her that he would never be close to someone who gained his hatred ever again.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized quickly before she walked out of the study room.
Downstairs in the living room, James was admiring the art pieces here. Seeing Sophia coming down, he asked in concern, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go.” All Sophia wanted to do was run away from here because Arthur’s look was causing her heart to ache.
Just then, James saw Arthur walking down the stairs. He immediately returned to his role as he held Sophia close and warned the other man, “Please stay away from my girlfriend from now on. I want you to keep your distance from her.”
Sophia’s eyes widened at him as she only hoped to leave right now.
However, Arthur sneered. “Say, did she ever tell you that she and I shared a room before? And did she tell you that we kissed when she was wearing only a bathrobe?”
James turned to look at Sophia in disbelief. He could not believe that she and Arthur had done such a thing.
Left with no choice, she played along. “I’m sorry, James. Please forgive me.”
He quickly took hold of her hand. “It’s alright. I know that I’ve made you feel left out when I was abroad, but I promise that I’ll stay by your side from now on. I forgive you.”
Arthur’s brows furrowed tightly after he failed to infuriate the man.
“Mr. Weiss, stop it. You can’t separate us. We love each other and we’re going to get engaged next month,” she added solemnly. Since they had taken things this far, she gladly used the opportunity to get under Arthur’s skin.
“Are you serious? No man would ever be unwavered like you when his woman has been intimate with someone else.” Arthur rebuked James.
“I… If you ever lay a finger on my girlfriend again, I won’t let you off the hook that easily,” warned James angrily.
“Try me,” Arthur retorted while walking toward Sophia with a sinister smile; his evil intentions, engulfed by his handsome face, had not seemed to be noticed by her.
“I—I will…” James could discern the chest muscles underneath Arthur’s shirt; he seemed strong and it was obvious that James stood no chance against him.
At that moment, the man wrapped his muscular arm around Sophia’s waist and propped her chin before crushing his lips onto hers aggressively; it was a blatant showcase of affection and dominance in front of James.
Her beady eyes widened as she felt his lips on hers, but she could not shake off his arm from her waist.
“Hmm…” she whimpered as she thought she was going mad for she had not expected Arthur to cross the line with such an innocent facade!
A wide-eyed James witnessed the scene in utter shock. He did not foresee the man to kiss her forcefully right before his eyes.
“Let go of her!” He huffed in rage. As her close friend, he could not bear the sight of her getting violated.
Even so, Arthur kissed her as though it was a punishment for her. Sophia’s mind went blank and her body tensed up while she attempted to shove him away.
When he finally released her, he provoked James. “Wanna fight with me?”
Meanwhile, her breathing became heavier as she covered her rosy lips. Despite her flushing face, she tried to gather herself before tugging at James. “Let’s go.”
A cold voice resounded menacingly behind them. “Sophia Goodwin, you better break up with him in an hour.”
Yet, she neither turned her head nor responded to his threat as she believed that he had gone overboard this time. After getting into the car, James gazed at her in concern. “Are you alright?”
Sophia covered her face and spoke in a quivering voice, “I’m fine.”
“That guy is handsome, but he’s a pervert! How dare he force himself on you like that!”
“Please don’t bring it up anymore… and keep it a secret, will you?” begged Sophia.
“Of course, I won’t, but it looks like he really likes you,” James claimed while starting up the car.
The sudden kiss she shared with Arthur kept plaguing her mind while the repeated imagery of his eyelashes and gaze reminded her that it was her punishment. The more she thought about it, the redder her cheeks became.
Lorelai made a dash to the hotel nearby the airport to take a rest since she had a flight to catch at 10.00PM. Now that she had stolen Elliot’s sperm, she had to be extra careful in order not to give the game away.
Anastasia was dealing with her work in the villa. After signing the document, a strong sense of uneasiness crept into her heart. If Elliot’s possession in the hospital remained unfound, there would be nightmares awaiting her.
It was no joking matter either seeing that she had a perturbing dream previously that felt almost too realistic. If her son was to have another two half-siblings out of the blue, it was undeniable that the impact inflicted on him would be big as they were two additional lives to deal with.
Just who on earth will do such a thing? It’s not a coincidence for sure. Someone must be scheming it for a long time.
Elliot was waiting for the results from the initial investigation at the police station. It was 3.00PM when he entered the meeting room in which Roy Barlowe, the leader of the investigation team, poured him a cup of coffee before starting to lay out the analysis of the suspects.
“Mr. Presgrave, this is a really important case for us. It has become more serious in light of your status and wealth.”
