I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Intruder

“You’re insane!” Ellis snapped as she backed away, putting more distance between herself and Easton

Finished

The last thing she wanted was to be anywhere near this disgusting excuse of a man. Just being close to him felt like bad luck.

But Easton, watching her retreat as if he carried some kind of plague, felt an inexplicable irritation rising in his chest. Maybe she was just throwing another one of her childish tantrums. Either way, he was done with it.

Reaching out, he grabbed her arm and yanked her forward.

Off guard, Ellis stumbled straight into his chest. She had barely registered what happened when a firm grip tightened around

her waist.

Before she could struggle, his deep voice murmured against her ear.

“I’m insane? I can’t get hard?”

Her face burned with rage. “You’ve gone three days without a beating haven’t you?!”

“Who was the one climbing into my bed? And who was the one begging me to go faster, then slower, at the estate?”

Each sentence dripped with growing displeasure.

By the time he finished, his irritation had turned into something heavier, almost tangible, like the heat of his breath against her ear and neck.

Disgusted. Ellis tried to break free, but as if anticipating her every move, Easton wrapped his other arm around her waist, trapping her completely.

She grit her teeth and lifted her chin defiantly. “Let me go!”

“What, now that we’re off the bed, you don’t recognize me anymore?” Easton’s gaze bore into hers, sharp and unwavering. “Want me to remind you how you used to please me? Or do you want to see what happens when you keep mouthing off?”

A faint blush crept up her ears.

Was it anger? Embarrassment?

Whatever it was, she looked far more expressive now than she had the last few times they had met.

Back then, the moment she saw him, she would avert her gaze, her face barely masking her impatience.

This was better.

Before, he never realized how dangerous habits could be.

But now, faced with such a stark contrast, he did.

He had grown used to Ellis clinging to him. She was like some spineless little creature, always sticking to him like a koala, her bright, wide eyes filled only with him.

At times, he had found it annoying. He had pushed her away, ignored her.

But she had never taken the hint. She had kept coming back, oblivious to how ridiculous she looked.

Now, she was different

She wanted nothing to do with him.

And those bright, shining eyes of hers?

They had dulled.

As if covered in dust, as if they no longer saw him clearly.

And worse–she no longer looked at him at all.

“Rotten cucumber! You—

Furious, Ellis clenched her fists, ready to punch him square in the chest.

But before she could land the hit, his hand caught her chin, tilting her face up sharply.

For a moment, they locked eyes

Easton’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Rotten cucumber? Watch your manners.”

She never called him by his name.

And now, instead of calling him anything normal, she had given him some idiotic nickname?

Before she could unleash a fresh round of curses, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye.

The boy in the doorway was staring at them with an unreadable expression.

And what was Ellis‘ relationship with hirn?

The moment Easton’s focus wavered, his grip loosened slightly.

She yanked herself free and dashed behind Casey, using him as a human shield.
