Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 734

“You… you’re just heartless.

I could tell this morning, you seemed kinda into our boy Parker.

Can’t you just overlook the fact he’s changed since the accident? Saving him is what matters, man. I’m begging you here, save him this time, or I’m afraid he won’t make it.”

“Then you promise me, consider partnering with Ludwik.” Tiana saw her chance and went for it.

Phineas instantly turned icy, failing to grasp her angle.

A little girl, bold as brass, meddling in his business affairs?

Way out of her league.

“There’s no way I’d consider a man who nearly got my nephew killed.”

“Stubborn. Then there’s nothing more to talk about. Why should I risk my own skin to save a jerk who can’t even appreciate it and blames me instead?”

With that, Tiana headed for the door, “Might as well lock me up now.”

“…” Phineas was so furious he could spit blood. What kind of girl was this?

“It’s just an antidote. We can’t be running out of women, can we? Butler, go find some clean, pretty girls for the young master to try first… If that doesn’t work, then bring this woman back for my nephew to handle!

Ms. Melford, I’d advise you, since you like Parker, don’t mind his misunderstanding.

If Parker touches another woman and it doesn’t work, then comes to you, won’t that gnaw at you?”

Tiana stopped dead in her tracks, nearly choking on her own rage.

Do all powerful people look down their noses like this? She already said she wouldn’t save him, and they still threatened her?

But the thought of Parker floundering with other women before coming to her made her utterly disgusted.

Fists clenched, she turned around, fury uncontainable, “Mr. Wilson, don’t push me too far.”

“I have no choice, you’re the only one who can save him!” Phineas frowned.

As they stood at an impasse, suddenly, frantic footsteps and a wave of intense heat approached from the study.

Before Tiana could get a good look, she was swept into a scorching embrace by an out-of-control man.

She twisted her head to see Parker’s flushed, agitated face and was startled.

His glasses were off, revealing bloodshot, peach blossom eyes with a hint of madness at the elongated corners. His body shook with effort, clearly trying to restrain something, muscles taut as iron.

Tiana felt like she was being engulfed in lava, her fear skyrocketing as she desperately pushed him away, “What are you doing?

I told your uncle, I’m not saving you, you heartbreaker!

Please, go find some other woman to ease your condition.”

“No can do.” Parker, struggling with the toxin in his body, glared at her with a predatory intensity, “In my head, it’s only you. I just want you.”

“…” Damn, Tiana’s face flushed with shock, “Have you no shame! What did you say this morning? Please remember your lofty promises, you said never again, that you didn’t like a woman like me, and wouldn’t touch me.”

“I don’t remember.”

His breath was like fire on her neck, igniting an inferno.

Tiana was stunned, seeing the madness and pain in his eyes, her heart inexplicably softened, “Hey, are you okay?”

“Just sleep with me, and I’ll be fine.”

“You’re shameless… mmph.”

Before she could finish, Parker’s lips crashed down on hers, lifting her up and heading to his bedroom with desperate urgency.

Servants along the way paused, cheeks flaming at the sight.
