Chapter 66

Alita didn’t expect Samuel to change so quickly, and she was startled, “What do you want again? Let go of me, Samuel. You two-faced person!” Alita yelled. She had trusted Samuel so much, even to the point of arguing with Jaydon, and yet, Samuel treated her like this.

“Stop shouting. If you don’t want to attract everyone’s attention, you better lower your voice,” Samuel calmly responded.

Recalling the series of schemes he had against her, the first attempt to forcefully kiss her, the second time not letting go of her at the charity event, and the third time assaulting her at the engagement party, made Alita furious to the point of wanting to kill him.

“Samuel, you despicable scoundrel! Why would you treat me like this? Do you think my life isn’t miserable enough, so you want to step on me a few more times? I never believed it could be you, because in my heart, you were like a warm big brother without a dark side. But in reality, you are more detestable than those in the Lewis family who openly dislike me. Playing the role of a gentleman on one side and a dangerous and mysterious person on the other, molesting me while pretending to be a good person who comes to rescue me. Amusing yourself with this, huh? I never expected that even you would bully me like this Alita’s heart ached for the collapse of trust. She felt her whole world turned gloomy. As Jaydon had said, to believe was to start losing. Alita thought she was too naive.

Samuel looked at her pained expression, and his heart ached as well. Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her.

“Ugh. Alita pushed him in alarm, but his strength was overwhelming. Her tightly pressed lips were pried open by him, and his tongue entered her mouth, gently entwining with hers.

Alita was too panicked to think about whether she liked this or not. She bit down forcefully, and the taste of blood immediately spread. But even so, Samuel didn’t release her, and the kiss remained unusually tender. This was the thing he had wanted to do the most in these 14 years.

Alita had never been afraid of Jaydon, but at this moment, she was afraid of Samuel.

Feeling Alita trembling and not responding to his kiss, Samuel finally released her. Placing his hands on the door, he lowered his head and gazed at her. “Want to know why I treat you like this? Because I love you.”

“W-what?” Alita stared at him in disbelief.

Samuel sneered. “Is it strange? Is it strange that I silently loved you for 14 years? I thought you could feel it.”

“I couldn’t feel it, Samuel. You hid it too well, and it made me feel terrified.” Alita replied.

“Terrifying?” Samuel caressed her face with deep affection in his eyes. “I just can’t bear to see you always cry. I can’t stand to see you living in such pain, Alita. I want you to leave this ruthless place, the Lewis family, and live the life you want. Don’t carry the burdens left by our elders. You’re not obligated to live like this.”

Alita’s eyes were filled with tears. “If you understand my pain so well, why did you create so much trouble for me? What you did couldn’t make me leave the Lewis family. Samuel, you’re just a cipher in this family. You can’t compete with Jaydon.”

“As long as you want to leave, you can definitely do it. Actually, I know you love Jaydon. That’s the reason you can’t convince yourself to leave,” Samuel said, his eyes filled with pain.

Everything hidden in the depths of Alita’s heart was exposed by him. She admitted calmly. “Yes. I love him. Even though he’s an unforgivable scoundrel, my heart still feels sad and happy for him. My whole world was in his hands. I escaped for five years, thinking I could be free from his influence, but in reality, he still has that power.”

“Is it that hard not to love him?” Samuel’s heart sank after he heard her confession.

Chapter 66

“Our relationship is okay for now, although I don’t know how long it will last. But I want to take a gamble. Perhaps, maybe, I can have a lasting relationship with him,” Alita said without confidence. She was walking on a tightrope, but the scenery on the other side was too beautiful. It was a place she really wanted to reach.

“Alita, you’re too naive. You’ll undoubtedly lose, Samuel said.

“Whether I lose or win, I just hope you won’t interfere anymore. In the end, you’re not a good person.” Alita’s heart no longer held warmth for Samuel. All that remained was fear.

Samuel laughed, a low, pleasant sound. “Alita, one day, you’ll realize who truly loves you.”

“That sounds disgusting. Alita replied.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s disgusting. It just needs to be real. Alita, now that you’ve discovered me, I’ll show you my true self when no one else is around.” Samuel’s eyes became deep and dangerous. He raised his hand, and the silver ring sparkled. “TI wear this every day from now on.”

“You’re a psycho.” Alita’s hair stood on end.

Samuel hugged her recklessly, his mouth near her ear. In a low, boarse voice, he said, “You’re the only one in the world who knows this secret. So, you better obediently listen to me.”

“What if I don’t?” Alita asked.

“In that case, I’ll make you mine. I have always wanted that.” Samuel’s hand lightly traced over her back, carrying a hint of threat.

Alita pushed him away abruptly. “You dare?”

“Men desire women’s bodies. What’s there to dare? If you doubt me, you can try it now.” Samuel’s face lit up with a wicked grin, completely different from his usual refined and gentle demeanor. This transformed version of him seemed even more captivating.

Samuel took a step closer, and Alita immediately fled from his room. She rushed back to her own room with a pale face.

Jaydon seated sternly and asked, “Where did you go?”

Alita, still shaken, didn’t register his words at all.

“Why are you breathing like that? Did you see a ghost outside?” Jaydon noticed something was off and patted her shoulder.

“Ah!” Alita reflexively jumped away, turning to face Jaydon. She quickly composed herself and asked, “What did you just say?”

Jaydon didn’t answer her question. Instead, he squinted his eyes. “Alita, where did you go?”

“I went for a walk in the garden,” Alita casually lied.

“Why are you so frightened then?” Jaydon wasn’t someone easy to deceive.

Thinking about Samuel’s warning, Alita came up with an excuse. “Oh, it’s because of the caterpillars. I was walking under a tree, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, causing several caterpillars to fall from the tree. They all landed on my head, and I got scared. I ran all the way back, with goosebumps all over. Don’t believe me? Look.” She rolled up her sleeves to show him. She thought, ‘Oh, God. Let me get away with it this time.”

“Caterpillar? Those soft, squishy, green insects with lots of legs?” Jaydon vaguely remembered reading about them in a book,

and the thought alone made him feel disgusted.

“Wow! You even know about them. You’re really smart. Yes. Those are the ones. They all fell on my hair, scaring me to death, Alita said casually.

Jaydon stepped back a bit, pointing toward the bathroom. Go take a shower. Don’t even think about getting into bed without cleaning yourself”

“But the caterpillars are gone now,” Alita said..

“Even so, go wash. I don’t want to sleep with a woman who’s been attacked by caterpillars, Jaydon yelled.

Alita wanted to replace a place to calm herself, so she walked into the bathroom with a seemingly reluctant expression. After closing the door, she leaned on the sink and took a deep breath. Then her expression became serious.

Next. Alita had another opponent to deal with. What made her even more distressed was that Kim and Annabel would be back tomorrow. It was indeed a spectacular situation, with pursuers behind, ambushes in front, and someone monitoring her in between. Alita thought to herself. Alita, just made up your mind and pretend they don’t exist”

The next morning. Jaydon and Alita went downstairs. The hall was lively. Annabel was presenting gifts, and Kim stood there with a faint smile. When Alita saw him, her heart tightened.

“Kim is back. Honey, let’s go over and greet them. Jaydon gave Alita’s hand a strong squeeze to remind her.

They walked over, and Annabel immediately threw herself into Jaydon’s arms. “Jaydon, I’m back!”

“Alright.” Jaydon smiled indulgently. “Was it fun?”

“Of course, it was not only fun but also very sweet. You should take Alita to have some fun as well.” Amabel looked at Alita with a sly smile, her tone somewhat boastful.

Alita understood the underlying message.

“If there’s a chance, we’ll definitely take a break together in the future and relax for a few days” Jaydon looked at Alita with an bright smile.

Kim, standing nearby, also caught the implied meaning. Some things didn’t need to be explicitly stated. Everyone understood tacitly.

Kim quickly flashed a sarcastic smile and handed over a gift. “Jaylon, Alita, this is specially selected by Annabel for you.”

“Thank you. You’re thoughtful” Alita smiled, calmly taking the gat

“Don’t mention it. I hope you like it. We’ll live together in the future. If there’s any oversight, please forgive us, Alita.” Kim smiled profoundly.

“Okay.” Alita responded softly, her heart feeling somewhat heavy

As someone descended the stairs, Annabel let go of Jaydon and greeted the newcomer with a charming smile, “Samuel, come here. I have a gift for you.”

Alita’s heart sank when she heard the name.

Samuel walked over gracefully. “You have a gift for me?”

“Of course, I specifically selected one for you. Here. Take it.” Annabel picked up a gift and handed it to Samuel.

“Thank you. Annabel: Samuel smiled gently and, quite naturally looked at Alita. Then he said, “Good morning!”

Alita’s knuckles turned white, and her heart beat extremely slowly “Good morning””

“You don’t look good. Are you unwell?” Samuel asked with concern.
