Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 872

Hera stared at Bernard as he gazed deeply into her eyes.

She had fair skin, and her red gown emphasized her flawless skin. It made her skin glow and gave her a light red tint, making her look all the more enticing. The deep V made things better as it exposed the voluptuous dip of her breasts.

Bernard narrowed his eyes at her. The chilling air he gave off made it seem like he didn't like it when she wore a dress like that.

For a brief moment, Hera felt that he was just like before—extremely possessive. Still, there was something different about him.

Back then, he would not hurt her. Now, he would, and he didn't seem to feel sorry about it at all.

Theo's voice suddenly rang in her head. "Ms. Youngworth, do you still remember Bernard? He doesn't remember you anymore."

Hera stared at Bernard unblinkingly as if trying to look for a trace of familiarity in his eyes. She failed to find what she was looking for in his cold eyes.

Indeed, he had forgotten all about her.

Hera felt her heart throb when the thought crossed her mind. But the sadness was fleeting because she told herself to accept the fact that he had forgotten her.

It was what she requested of Felix back then.

Bernard's words were so sweet back then. He told her that he would only ever sleep with his girlfriend, and Hera remembered huffing in response. Would you look at what happened now?

"Are you avoiding me?" Bernard asked, his grip on her hands tightening at her silence.

"No! Let go!" Hera snapped out of her daze and hissed in pain. "You're hurting me!"

"Good. This is just a small form of punishment for you. Don't make me repeat myself. You don't want to get on my bad side." Bernard growled.

Hera was dumbstruck. For now, she would see him as a patient who had no clue what he was talking about. But when he recovered his memories later on, she'd make him pay dearly for his actions.

"Am I clear?" Bernard spat after noticing the indifferent look on her face.

Out of the blue, Hera leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. Stunned, Bernard froze.

Bernard let go of Hera and pushed her so that she fell onto the couch. She slowly pushed herself up.

She had only just gotten up from the couch when he threw his white coat over her head and ordered, "You aren't going anywhere in that gown!"

That said, he opened the door and left.

Douglas stood, waiting by the door. When he saw Bernard without his coat, he was puzzled.

"Where's your coat?" he asked.

Instead of answering, Bernard replied, "Have someone keep an eye on her."

Needless to say, he didn't believe Hera at all.

Hera, who was sitting on the couch, heard him and was rendered speechless once more.
