Chapter 48 Say It, Then I Am All Yours


    Mandy''s eyes were drenched and red with grievances when she looked straight into Nathan''s eyes.


    She felt a surge of sadness rising in her heart.


    Mandy wanted to scream it out. What the hell was that? "Who am I to you? Did you ask me to move in


    with you so that you can humiliate me like this?" Mandy asked, her voice still sounding painful. Mandy


    was nervous as hell. Her body was shaking, and it was beyond her control to keep it stable. The sting


    in her heart was so deep and overbearing that she felt as if someone was pulling her heart downwards.


    She closed her eyes and turned her face away from Nathan.


    "Did you feel bad with what happened just now?" The cold voice of Nathan sounded like a freezing


    cer. He did not show the slightest trace of being even remotely affected by the upheaval in Mandy''s


    heart. Mandy was appalled to hear his remark. At the moment, nothing affected her more than the


    words he uttered. She was neither intimidated by his cold voice nor was she scared of him anymore.


    But his words kept hammering on her head and chest over and over again.


    In a fit of anger, Mandy snapped, "No. I don''t give a damn about your women."


    However much she pretended not to care about Nathan''s being close to other women, still in her heart


    of hearts, she was set aze with jealousy.


    Mandy was aware that there would be a lot of women around Nathan. She felt that she could ignore


    those women and Nathan. She understood it very well that she and Nathan were from two different


    worlds, and their lives were ipatible. However, as luck would have it, their lives did intersect, in


    such an unexpected way.


    "Mandy, I don''t like stubborn women." All of a sudden, Nathan caught Mandy by her wrist and forced


    her against the wall.


    Nathan looked into her eyes intently for a moment, and then he broke into a wicked grin. The game he


    was ying with Mandy had started to gain momentum, and he loved it. He wanted to hear Mandy say,


    "I love you," willingly.


    "Why did you even ask me toe here? Do you even need a girl like me? Anyway, there are so many


    women around you. You can have them all without even the slightest effort," Mandy retorted. She


    smiled with self-mockery.


    "Do you mean to say that since there are so many people here, that makes you receable for me?"


    The frivolous tone of Nathan''s words sounded like he meant something else. Mandy looked at him from


    the corner of her eyes. Thinking of what she had just done, Mandy regretted it immediately. Why would


    she argue with him? She knew very well that she was no match for Nathan!


    Mandy denied, "No, I didn''t mean that." With her back against the wall, Mandy was so nervous that her


    heart started beating faster. The cold touch of the wall seemed to slowly stimte her nerves, and a


    burst of pain spread from her heart. Her eyes still looked hurt as she gazed at Nathan.


    Nathan approached her slowly. It was a very oppressing scene for Mandy. His face was very close to


    hers. She blinked and let out a pearly tear as she could feel his breath on her face. Suddenly, she


    thought of his kiss. The kiss had been very imperious and possessive. It had felt like he wanted to keep


    her for his own.


    When Mandy had been with Daniel, she had received a fair number of kisses from him. But Daniel''s


    kiss was different from that of Nathan''s. Nathan''s kiss was passionate and domineering. The way he


    kissed was both tender and, at times, overwhelming, just like what he was.


    "Mand, I''m all yours if you just say those three words," he coaxed. Nathan brought his mouth close to


    her ear and whispered softly with his maic voice. Her face flushed immediately when she felt his


    warm breath on her ear. The flush made her look more beautiful.


    Mandy stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes. Her eyes exuded a mix of fear and bewilderment.


    She could not figure out what he wanted to do if she said that. Maybe he would mock her if she did as


    he wished. She vowed to herself that she would not give him any more chance to hurt her. She gritted


    her teeth and sneered, "You are dreaming."


    She uttered three words, but not what Nathan had wanted to hear.


    What a disobedient woman! Nathan smiled helplessly and snickered, as he had been expecting


    something like that from her.


    But he was not angry at all. Instead, heughed loudly. He was getting more and more interested in


    this woman. She was more adorable and interesting than any other woman he had ever met.


    "Mand, you know what? You look so charming now." Reaching out his hand, Nathan touched Mandy''s


    face tenderly.


    Mandy quivered at his touch. At the moment, she felt like prey that he was ying with.


    Subconsciously, she leaned back, trying to get away from him. But the obvious movement of protecting


    herself could not evade Nathan''s eyes.


    Immediately, he realized that she was afraid of him, and his heart sank when he perceived that.


    "What the hell are you doing, Nathan?" Mandy asked. This was the first time that she had called


    Nathan by his name. She seemed to have braved it finally. Anyway, she wanted him to tell the truth.


    "I want to have sex…… with you," Nathan said slowly, keeping his eyes fixed on her face so that he did


    not miss a single reaction from her. He snickered with a mischievous look. What a good toy she was!


    Mandy was left aghast by what he said. ''What a lustful man he is! Just as I expected. It''s like he thinks


    that all women were weing him, '' she thought. She turned her head away and ignored him.


    "Do you know what will happen if you continue being stubborn like this?" Nathan asked in a joking tone.


    Unmoved, Mandy answered, "I don''t know. And I don''t even want to know."


    "Alright. But, you should know that–for me, actions are usually clearer than words." Nathanughed


    wildly, and in a smooth sweep, he lifted Mandy and piled her on his strong shoulders before he started


    to walk.


    With a frightened look on her face, Mandy struggled desperately, thrashing about with her hands and


    feet to free herself from his grip.


    Nathan remained undeterred by her antics and carried her upstairs. He just smiled mischievously and


    patted her on the hip with his left hand.


    Like being hit by a thunderbolt, Mandy was stunned with that gesture and gradually stopped her


    struggling. She did not dare to move much in case he would act out more shamelessly.


    While he was walking, Mandy cursed him a million times in her mind. ''You are just a scoundrel! A cad!''


    she thought but dared not speak it out.


    Mandy knew it very well that contradicting him would be thest choice for her at this moment. He was


    a lion among the sheep. He was neither enticed by the carrot nor browbeaten by the stick. If she


    provoked him, it would not be good for her.


    After a while, they entered a bedroom. The room was decorated in a European style, which had a very


    warm and hospitable look and feel.


    This room was not the same as the one that Eve had earlier entered. The decoration in it was


    extremely luxurious. It looked like the main bedroom. Nathan put Mandy on the big bed and rode over


    her quickly.


    Mandy was still in the middle of her marveling at the room decor. She turned her head, and her eyes


    fell upon a violin kept in a transparent crystal box.


    The light reflecting from the crystal box made Mandy feel a little dizzy.


    She frowned as curiosity piqued in her heart. Why was there a violin in his room? And then too, the


    violin was prominently disyed in this room.


    Was he fond of music? Could he y the violin? She felt that with his kind of a tough and ruthless


    disposition, he could not have such a love of music.


    At the same time, she could not forbear expressing her surprise. Everything in this room was different


    from what she had imagined. She imagined that Nathan''s room would be cold and dim, but on the


    contrary, she felt rather warm in this room. As her eyes roved around, the style of the bedroom calmed


    her down a lot.


    Following her eyes, Nathan found that Mandy was staring at the violin.

    As soon as Nathan''s eyes fell on the violin, his face changedpletely. His eyes turned darker as he


    stared at the violin coldly. This violin was a gift that he had never parted with. The same went for this


    vi also. They were the irreceable parts of his life.


    "Nathan, can you y the violin?" Mandy suddenly asked when she saw his eyes fixing on the violin. It


    was difficult for her to think that Nathan was the kind of man who liked music.


    In her opinion, people who liked music were very simple. And Nathan was radically opposite to that. He


    was ratherplex and shrewd, and he was more suited to achieve a mammoth of business sess


    with ease. He was indeed unstoppable and invincible in his line of work. But there was no trace of


    something in his personality that could justify him as a violin yer or even a music lover.


    "Yes," replied Nathan in a t tone. It was a short and powerful answer.


    Mandy was surprised to hear that. She requested, "Can you y a piece for me?" A trace of slyness


    shed through Mandy''s eyes as she thought of an old friend who had also been good at ying the


    violin. That was a wonderful memory in her life.


    "No," Nathan refused coldly. But this time, his voice sounded different. No one can make him y the


    violin, except that one person...He was not in the mood to y the violin at this moment.


    "All right," Mandy said with a sigh. She felt a little disappointed. She had expected that Nathan would


    refuse her. She just didn''t expect that he would refuse so quickly and coldly.


    He kept staring at the violin for a long time. Mandy watched him silently while he did that. All of a


    sudden, he turned over from Mandy and stood up. It seemed that suddenly he was in no mood for


    anything.


    "Have a good sleep here. Good night." After finishing these words, he left without looking back.


    Looking at his receding figure, Mandy slowly sat up on the bed. For the first time, she sensed that


    Nathan was a little lonely. ''If we sit face to face, maybe I can see the sorrow on his face, '' a passing


    thought came to her mind. She didn''t even know why she thought like that.


    What made him unhappy all of a sudden? Why did he leave like that? Did she say something that had


    raked some painful memories from the past? So many questions popped into Mandy''s mind one by


    one, but she could not find the answer for a single one. Rather, this incident made her unsure about her


    code of conduct with Nathan for the future. He was so unpredictable that she couldn''t gauge what was


    going on in his mind.


    It was a tough night for Mandy. She didn''t know how she fell asleep. She tossed and turned on the bed


    all night in this strange room.
