Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie Hoven )
Chapter 365

Chapter 365 Happiness

The door to the penthouse sulte swung open as soon as William swiped the room card, pulling Emelie into his arms as they stepped inside. Emelie stumbled slightly on the doormat, and William immediately lifted her. Before she could react, he lossed her passionately.

His kiss was filled with emotion and intensity, even a hint of recklessness, as if he wasn't the composed, aloof Mr. Middleton anymore.

He was simply a man driven by desire for his woman.

Emelie struggled to catch her breath. Her mind went blank, and she felt somewhat bewildered. It seemed that she hadn't agreed to this.

She just what was it?

Emelie was thrown off, her mind a jumble. She was unable to remember anything. All she could recall at this moment was the fireworks filling the square.

Her fingers clutched tightly at William's suit. Sensing her heavy breathing, William released her lips and kissed her eyes instead. He planted gentle kisses on the delicate skin beneath them. Emelie's eyelashes trembled involuntarily as she saw William with closed eyes. His expression was gentle and tender.

He had been unusually gentle lately, especially tonight. It was a complete departure from his old sell

Emelie had never been treated like this before. It felt as if her battered body was being gently tended to, with someone carefully applying ointment and then softly blowing on the wounds. Her heart flattered intensely. After a moment of stiffness, she began to relax.

This relaxation signaled her silent consent

William naturally understood. He let out a soft chuckle.

He rarely smiled. When he did, Emelie felt uneasy. Her hand that had been clutching his suit was now pushed against his chest.

But William wasn't about to give her the chance to change her mind.

He tilted up her chin and kissed her again. His usual style returned to being dominant, forceful, and in control of everything.

Without even tuming on the lights, they headed straight into the bedroom.

Emelie's hand rested on his pillow, catching the familiar scent of his cologne. Her gaze was somewhat unfocused as William kissed her chin, then removed the cost.

As he started to go further, he noticed faint red marks on her blouse.

He paused for a moment, realizing he had forgotten to close the curtains in his state. The streetlight streaming in made everything dim and unclear, so william switched on the bedside lamp

Bloodstains?

He looked up and asked, "Are you injured? Where does it hurt?"

She didn't know what he was talking about at first. Emelle lowered her head and recalled the hair-covered skull, realizing it must have splattered onto her clothes when it popped out.

Her hair spread across the white pillow, and she briefly explained the "prank". Finally understanding the reason for her poor mood that afternoon, William had a moment of realization "Did you call the police?"

Emelie shook her head. "It's someone online, hard to trace. Besides, going to the police station..."

She didn't want to go there again.

William asked, "Are you still afraid?"

She was a little afraid, but Emelie didn't answer. William whispered, "I'll help you forget."

Emelie had intended to ask him how he could help her forget

After that, Emelie couldn't remember anything else.

She had heard before that sex and violence were the best ways to vent emotions.

she now thought that maybe that statement was true.

When William held her in the end, Emelle saw a bright light. She heard what seemed like dozens of miles away, people gathered in the square, hot and vibrant They were counting down together Five, four, three, two..

Accompanied by fireworks, everyone shouted, "Happy New Year!"

It seemed like William had heard it too. He whispered in her ear, "Sweetie, Happy New Year."

Emelse didn't say anything. She hopped William's neck and closed her eyes. Tears appeared at the comers of hereyes.
