Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 741

"Whitney, I wasn't done talking."

Suddenly, with a swift movement, Whitney found herself whisked back into the man's arms as effortlessly as if she were a little chick.

This time, Ludwik pinned her against the folding screen, his entire body pressing close, the initial 'wall-slam' morphing into an ambiguous embrace.

Instantly, Whitney's anger flared. Only a fool would find this overpowering man pitiful.

Fighting to keep her voice low, she hissed, "I don't care if you were finished or not. Can't you see I despise you now? You're... you're a mess, why are you still bothering me? If I knew you were such a creep, I would have let those guys throw you out earlier."

"So, you admit you had Shane save me?" Ludwik, despite the scolding, couldn't help but smile.

Rolling her eyes in frustration, Whitney retorted, "I regret intervening. You should've been kicked out by Brielle."

"So, you were watching me earlier, worried I'd be at a disadvantage?"

"..."

Did this man have no shame at all?

Feeling utterly defeated, Whitney argued, "Today, if any man were treated unfairly, my conscience would compel me to help."

"Last time I was turned away from the Garcia Group, you wouldn't admit you tipped me off. Whitney, you wouldn't lift a finger for any other man."

Ludwik, moved, caressed her pale cheek, his gaze intense, "Whitney, if I were in good health, given your sympathy for me, I'd win you back no matter how low I fell. I wouldn't let go, but now..."

A flash of pain crossed his eyes as he pulled out a single pink pill from his pocket.

Ludwik offered it to her, earnestly saying, "Take this, Whitney. It'll make things right."

As Whitney listened to his coaxing tone...

She glanced at the pill in disbelief, recognizing it instantly as emergency contraception!

Stunned, she then flung it at his handsome face, "Ludwik, why are you giving me this? You really are sick."

"I'm not sick."

Ludwik's seriousness was palpable as he picked up the pill, placing it back in her hand, "I just don't want you carrying Bryce's child."

Last time Danny asked him, it wasn't always possible to trick Mommy into coming over, what to do?

Ludwik, his expression icy, could only think of this solution.

She and Bryce, sharing a space, constantly together, he couldn't always follow her, stop her.

Only by preventing a pregnancy, could he avoid a bigger mistake...

Whitney's eyes widened in shock, hardly believing his intention.

He couldn't think she and Bryce... had taken their relationship to that level.

For some reason, she was furious...

And speechless, but she didn't want to share the discord between her and Bryce with him.
