You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 103

Outside the window, it began to rain. Raindrops rustled the leaves outside the house. Irene gradually regained her consciousness as the noises tapped against her eardrums.

"What happened? How did I fall asleep?" she thought. A familiar breath tickled the tip of her nose. Only then did she realize that her limbs were tightly entangled with him like the tentacles of an octopus. In the past, he always liked to hold her in this way to sleep. She thought that she was still in a daze. She couldn't help but touch his face gently.

His aquiline nose was outlined on an impeccable silhouette, and the lines of his chin were exceptionally angular. She was shocked out of her daze at once. What happened?

She went there to collect his sperm. How did she end up falling asleep? Most importantly, how did she fall asleep in the arms of this disgusting man?

No! Why did she feel pain in between her legs? Her bones seemed to be falling apart. She could not imagine what she had just experienced. She was now completely awake.

She was lying naked in Edric's arms!

What happened exactly? How could she sleep with Edric? She could not call anything to mind, but it was not the time for her to be pondering about it. She had to leave the room before he woke up.

Irene gently moved her body out of Edric's arms. She tried her best to suppress the discomfort she felt down there while putting on her clothes. She fumbled around in the dark to look for the door.

The metal doorknob in her hand was freezing cold. She gently turned it, but before the door was opened, the light in the room was lit up.

There and then she heard his unusually low voice, "Are you leaving, just like that?"

Irene turned her head like a frightened rabbit. Behind her was a pair of coal-black eyes. As gentle as they were a few years ago, they were akin to a bottomless ocean that would drag people in to drown them.

"You're awake?" She heard her voice trembling.

"Hmm?" he answered flatly.

"I... I..." she stammered. She had gotten onto his bed in the middle of the night without any reason.

"My dear sister-in-law, can you explain why you appeared in my room?"

He leaned on the head of the bed. His handsome face revealed the charm and aggressiveness exclusive to him. His naked torso was perfectly molded, like a Greek statue. He did not find it inappropriate at all. At this moment, his eyes were locked on her as he waited for a reply from her.

Irene felt her throat tighten. It took her quite a while to find her voice. "Um... you... you were drunk."

"So?" he asked calmly.

"I sent you back, and..."

He interjected, "And what?"

"I don't know what happened either." She gritted her teeth.

"If you don't, then let me tell you." Edric sneered.

"Last night, after I was sent to this guest room, there was a beautiful woman inside. She said that she wanted to sleep with me, but I wasn't interested in her. Later, she said that if I did not like her, she could find someone else to replace her. Never did I expect another beautiful woman who would replace her to be you. Irene, how did you end up stooping so low? Are you sleeping around with men now?"

Under the light, there was a smirk on his face with a trace of sarcasm in his good-looking eyes.

She felt her heart sink when she saw the mockery in his eyes. Only she knew that this seemingly harmless pair of eyes were now smoldering with rage and ferocity.

She was the only person who knew what he was capable of; he was the most dangerous and ferocious animal in the world. He could say that he loved you a second ago, but he would drive you to hell without a second thought in the next moment.

Her chest felt exceedingly heavy. He was no fool, but the question was, how much did he know exactly? As she thought about it, his voice broke through the air. "What do you think would happen if I gave this thing to Mr. Cook?"

There was something in his fingers. It turned out to be a small pinhole camera. When she saw the camera in his hand clearly and thought of the contents of the video, her vision turned blurry and her knees went week.

"Edric, you're so despicable! How dare you install a hidden camera?!"

Edric leaned against the bedside elegantly in his naked state. He held the camera in one hand and took out a piece of paper with another hand. "Come here and sign this!"

"What is that?" she roared.

"It's a contract to sell your body to me!" He spat out these words coldly.

"You..."

"Irene, you asked for it. After signing in it, you'll be my secret lover. I won't release the video to the public. But if you choose to walk out of this room, you know what will happen."

"Why?" Irene muttered.

"Why? Don't you know?" Edric's eyes flashed with viciousness. "Irene, when you paid someone to seduce me, you should have thought of the consequences of your actions."

"Edric, aren't you afraid that I will tell all this to Lily? You're already engaged to her. If she is aware of all this..." She grasped at her last hope.

When he heard Irene mention Lily, he revealed an eerily gentle smile. The words that tumbled out of his lips next were exceptionally cold and ruthless. "If you dare let Lily know about this, I will ensure you die a tragic death!"
