Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 113 by Adolf Dunne

Hated Her The Most

“Looks like you’ve remembered everything,” Victor said with a mocking tone as he walked to her bedside. Though he sounded condescending, his face remained expressionless. Rachel said nothing. She just lowered her eyes and stayed silent. It was indeed true what Victor said; she did remember everything now. This included how he’d saved her… And what he’d frantically said to her when he’d tried to keep her awake.

“Thank you,” she said softly, and then finally, looked up at him. “You don’t have to thank me,” Victor said. His expression remained neutral and relaxed, concealing anything he might have been feeling. “You should be grateful.” This was enough to tell Rachel that whatever he said next was going to be unpleasant.

And she was right. Victor reached out and grabbed her chin, raising her head to force her to look at him. “You should be grateful you’re pregnant with my child, otherwise I would have just let you die.” Rachel’s expression pinched. She easily managed to move her face out of his hand; he hadn’t been holding her tightly.

With a sour smile she said, “Oh I see… You’re not the one I should be thanking then.” Victor narrowed his eyes, gazing coldly at her. “You’re right though; I should be thanking the baby,” Rachel said as she looked into his eyes. “After all, you just desperately want me dead in any case.”  Rachel didn’t notice the shocked expression on Victor’s face when he looked down at her.

At least now he knew what she thought of him. But he couldn’t deny that in some ways, she was right. There had been a time when he’d wanted her dead, and would have done anything to achieve his goal. Now, her words wounded him in a way he couldn’t describe. It felt like a cold, sharp knife had been driven into his heart and was now being twisted and turned, like a type of torture. “… I’m glad you know your place,” Victor said coldly, trying his best to keep the burning pain out his voice and expression.

Rachel forced herself to keep smiling, but otherwise stayed silent. She wasn’t in the mood to argue now. Her head still felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool from the concussion. “Rachel.” She raised her eyebrows in response. She tilted her head to the side as she waited for whatever it was he wanted to say. Victor inhaled to speak. He was already armed with a sarcastic remark, but when he looked down into her pale face, he found he was suddenly struck speechless.

The cool, autumn night breeze drifted in through the half-opened window and gently lifted the curtain in a gauzy wave. Rachel waited patiently for him to say something. She kept her eyes locked on him, granting him her full, undivided attention. After a few more minutes ticked by in which he still said nothing, she finally asked in a hoarse voice, “Mr. Sullivan, what else did you want to say?” Her tone was cold, distant, and laced with just a hint of aggression.

Victor’s expression suddenly darkened and that cold glimmer in his eyes hardened. “Next time you try and kill yourself, please do so where no one else can see you. Especially me. If you try something like that again, I won’t care if that baby dies with you.” 2 Then he turned on his heel and marched out the room.

Rachel stared at the door for a long while after he’d left. She was completely dumbstruck by what he’d said. She kept turning his words over and over in her mind, until she finally realized what he’d meant; he thought she’d done it on purpose. He thought she’d purposefully stepped into the road so that he’d have to come and save her. The thought made her both humiliated and irritated.

Did he think she was insane!

How was she supposed to know he was going to be there at exactly that time? If she’d known he was going to be there, she’d have avoided him at all costs; no matter what Lukas said.
