The stabbing pain on her scalp had not yet subsided when Eileen fell heavily onto the couch.

She struggled to rise, but in the next second, Eric pushed her back down.

“Why did you run at the sight of your brother? Will you still run now?” Eileen looked at him laughing, alaugh that resembled a life-stealing demon.

“What are you trying to do?” Eileen shrank into the corner of the couch, fear visibly etched on her face.

Eric casually picked up a box of beautifully made Blake cupcakes before sitting down beside her andopening it. “Don’t you love desserts the most, Eileen? How about I feed you some, hmm?”

Eric held the spoon up to her mouth.

With her eyes red-rimmed, Eileen asked, “What kind of drug have you added this time?”

She observed his reaction, waiting for his response.

Eileen then raised her hand and slapped it away. “I’m afraid you’ll poison me to death. Get lost!”

After saying that, she pushed him away, unable to stop her tears from falling. Just as she was about toget up, Eric suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. She could feel his solid chest against herback and his scorching hot body temperature as he deliberately moved closer. Eileen struggled in hishold. “Eric, let me go!”

“Scared of dying now? Weren’t you fearless before? Huh? If you behave while I’m still not planning toharm you now, you might suffer a little less.”

He stretched out his hand, and instinctively, Eileen flinched in fear.

Eric tidied her hair, focusing on the spot he had grabbed. Parting the strands, he saw that the skin hadturned red.

Eileen did not know what he was planning to do. She kept her body tense, not daring to moverecklessly. Despite feeling the gentle caress on her head, her heart was cold and indifferent.

He offers consolation after dealing with someone harshly. These are his usual tricks. Does he still think,even now, that I’m the same child from before?

An hour later, watching him offer another piece of cake, Eileen wrinkled her nose in disgust

I don’t want to eat anymore.”

From now on, she would not take another bite of cake.

Indeed, with her obedience, Eric did not do anything to her.

She had eaten five, far exceeding her limit. A wave of nausea rolled in her stomach, making her feelslightly sick.

Only when Eric loosened his grip did Eileen finally manage to escape.

“Are you going to take a shower first, or should I go first?”

His tone was casual, as if he was discussing who should eat first during dinner.

Eileen was shocked, her heart pounding fiercely. “This is my room. I don’t want to share it with you!Please leave now!” she cried, her voice filled with agitation.

Eric’s expression remained unchanged as he finished the half-eaten cake. He then stood up,unbuttoned his suit, and casually tossed it onto the sofa. Without glancing at Eileen, he reached tounbuckle his belt.

Eileen immediately turned her back to him. “If you want to stay, it’s all yours.”

“I’ve asked. There are no spare rooms. If you want to leave, feel free.”

As he spoke, he had already made his way to the bathroom.

Eileen cursed, “Shameless!”

While he was showering, Eileen went downstairs to ask the receptionist. Indeed, there were no roomsleft.

Moreover, due to the heavy snow blocking the roads, there were other tourists huddled in the hotellobby, shivering under their blankets, without even a place to spend the night.

Eileen returned to the room upstairs in disappointment.

The person in the bathroom hasn’t come out yet. Even if I asked him to leave today, he probablywouldn’t

Taking out another quilt from the cupboard, she spread it on the couch.

There’s no way Eric would agree to sleep on the couch.

At that moment, the sound of water from the bathroom ceased. Soon after, the door opened, and theperson inside stepped out, clad in a bathrobe.

Eileen did not look at him as she said, “The road will clear by tomorrow. For tonight, you can take thebed. I’ll sleep on the couch.”

However, he seemed as if he had not heard her. Wearing his slippers, he sat directly in front of thedressing table, closed his eyes, and commanded aloud, “Come blow-dry my hair.”

Eileen paused, not saying a word.

After a while, Eric grew somewhat impatient. He opened his eyes and looked at the figure in the mirror.“Didn’t you hear me speak?”

The familiar tone, still as assertive as ever.

In her previous life, Eric always enjoyed buying risqué, gossamer-thin lingerie and forcing her to wearthem. She would always be reluctant and dawdle, and upon losing his patience, Eric would adopt thesame tone.

She had figured out Eric’s intentions. He would not do anything to her as long as she followed hiswishes. Now, they were alone in a room, and it was inevitable for Eileen to feel a bit scared being withhim. Plus, her phone had no signal. If something happened to her, no one would know.

Eileen took her time to walk over and fetch the hairdryer. After plugging it into the socket in front of thedressing table, she began to blow dry his hair with warm air.

His hair was neither long nor short, with stray strands obscuring his eyes. His eyes were closed, hisbreaths shallow, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Her movements were gentle, and it took less than half an hour to finish blowing his hair dry.

“I-It’s done.”

Eileen put away the hairdryer while Eric got up and went to bed, lying there as if it was the most naturalthing in the world.

“Turn off the light,” he said.

Eileen lay on the couch, her hand tightly clutching the blanket. She stammered, “I… I… I’m used tosleeping with the lights on.”

After she said that, he did not say anything more.

In the end, she couldn’t resist Eric’s dominance. She got up to turn off the lights, leaving only the one inthe corner of the wall lit.

Laying down again and closing her eyes, a drowsy sleepiness began to take over her.

At four thirty in the early morning, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. Shehas been showering for an hour. What is she doing in there?

Edern was soaked with water, and she felt an increasing itch all over her body. She had scratched herneck and other areas so much that they were marked with bloody streaks. When she looked at her facein the mirror, it was so swollen that it was almost unrecognizable, a sight too distressing to bear.

Knock! Knock Knock!

A series of knocks came from outside the bathroom door.

“How much longer are you going to be in there? What are you doing?”

Eileen picked up a water glass from the side and pressed it firmly against the door, sobbinguncontrollably. “It’s all because of you! I knew you had bad intentions You’re trying to harm me! Stayaway from me!”

Eric’s brows furrowed, feeling suddenly annoyed Suppressing his impatience, he knocked on the door.“You have five minutes to come out!”

She felt incredibly itchy. Her whole body was itching

With those wounds reopened from scratching, all Eileen could do was rub them with her hands.

Hearing the crying from inside. Eric exploded in rage and irritation, and he forcefully kicked the dooropen with one foot.

Eileen was startled by the loud bang

She was completely naked, and upon seeing the person outside the door, she cried out in fear,clutching her chest. ‘Get out! Who let you in? Get out!”

In her panic, she threw another glass, which Eric easily dodged.

He took a big step forward and grabbed her hand, staring at the originally fair and tender skin, nowcovered in scratches. She always liked to keep her nails long. Did she scratch herself?

“Let go of me! Stop looking at me. Get out!”

What should I do? He has seen me without my clothes on!

What is all this about?” His icy voice contained a hint of barely perceptible panic.

You’re asking me! Wasn’t it you who dragged the dessert? I knew you were up to no good. Are yousatisfied now that I’ve ended up like this?”

Tears continued to fall down her face.

She felt so unfairly treated!

Eric’s frown was so deep that it looked terrifying. He quickly grabbed a bath towel from the side,wrapped her in it, and immediately carried her out of the room.
