Chapter 434


    I couldn''t find a reason to refute him. After all, he wouldn''t have appeared before my eyes had Natalie


    not called him.


    “You must have done this on purpose. You should have rejected Natalie since you knew I wasing!”


    He might have said so, but I knew he wouldn''t have appeared had I note. In other words, he made


    that promise to Natalie because of me.


    “You''re right. I came because of you. So what? I said I wouldn''t take the initiative to look for you, but it


    doesn''t mean I''d say no to anyone who arranged for us to meet. I should really thank your best friend


    for making this happen.”


    A corner of his lips quirked up. It was as if he didn''t care how mad I was. In fact, he seemed to enjoy


    seeing how annoyed I was.


    I clenched my fists and tried to contain my anger.


    Instead of arguing with him, I turned around and looked out of the window. Forget it. I wouldn''t be able


    to out-talk him anyway.


    The man smirked but didn''t continue with the debate. All of a sudden, he made a U-turn.


    “Michael, what are you doing? We''re supposed to head in the office''s direction!”


    I could not help but panic upon realizing he was driving further away from the office. What is he doing?


    “Going back to the office to work is just an excuse, isn''t it? You only said that to get rid of me. Don''t


    make up this kind of ridiculous story to fool me, Anna.” He exposed me in a calm voice.


    The expression on my face changed, and I felt a pang of guilt.


    He''s right. I just made that up so that I could run away from him.


    “Then why did you insist on giving me a lift if you knew that was a lie? You''re doing this on purpose!”


    I tilted my head aside and red at him. He knew I was lying, and I''m sure he knew I was trying to


    avoid him. Yet, he still deliberately burst the bubble. What does he want from me?


    “Yes. I did it on purpose. I just want to stay by your side. You should know that, right?”


    I nearly choked because I didn''t expect him toe clean so quickly. Has he no shame?


    “Where are we going?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Anxiety crept in, as I had no clue where he was taking me since we were not going to the office.


    “I''m sending you home. Where else do you think we''re going? Unless you want toe to my ce?”


    I heaved a sigh of relief at his answer. Even so, I was a little jittery when I recalled yesterday''s incident


    at my house.


    This man is capable of anything.


    Michael sped along the road. In just a while, we arrived at my house. I got out of the car the moment he


    parked the vehicle in front of the entrance.


    He, too, got down and followed closely behind.


    I turned around and stared at him. “Thanks for sending me home. You can leave now.”


    After saying that in a calm voice, I opened the door and went into the house.


    Before I could close the door, he barged into the living hall like he didst night. There was one


    moment I thought I was about to explode with rage.


    But no matter how I expressed my frustration, I knew he would continue to do as he pleased. Why


    should I torture myself? I ignored him and went straight to the bathroom after closing the door.


    By the time I finished my shower, he was still sitting on the couch in the living hall. I walked past him to


    get myself a bottle of water from the refrigerator. After taking a few sips, I went straight back to my


    bedroom.


    To prevent history from repeating itself, I locked the door from the inside. This would stop him from


    coming in, especially if he had nasty thoughts.


    Since I''ve done my part to protect myself, I''ll let him do whatever he wants for now. Let''s see how much


    patience he has!


    I even bought pepper spray today to ce under my pillow. He better be prepared to taste my wrath


    should he force himself on me again.


    I''ll let him know I''m not a pushover!


    Now that the door was locked, he would not be able toe into my room. Even if he did, I still had the


    pepper spray that I could use on him. I''ve gotten all my ducks in a row, so he better be prepared to face


    the music if he attempted to do what he did to mest night.


    With all the safety measures taken, I felt safe. That was why I could fall asleep as soon as Iy on the


    bed.


    All of a sudden, I could feel a hand touching my body in the middle of the night. I could also feel my


    legs spread open, and my private part became numb.


    Am I having a wet dream? It feels real, though.


    Sleeping naked after the shower was a habit of mine, and that was why the hand that caressed my


    body felt real.


    The hand continued to snake around my body. It even teased my private part, causing me to


    experience an indescribable itch.


    To suppress the feeling, I turned to the other side of the bed. How could the feeling be so real if it''s just


    a dream? I must be crazy!


    The tinkling sensation did vanish for a moment. Just when I thought I could sleep in peace, the


    sensation came back. It became even more intense.


    I forced myself to open my eyes to take a nce around me. What I saw next to my bed made me


    scream and widened my eyes.


    Michael was lying on my bed. While one of his hands was cupping my breast, his other hand was


    fondling myher regions.


    I shrieked in shock and kicked him. Anyone would have reacted the way I did had they seen a man


    lying in their bed and doing the things he did.


    My aggressive kick caught Michael by surprise. He let out a deep grunt and got up from the bed.


    “How did youe in? I thought I locked the door?”


    I was so mad at him that I could not stop shivering. If only I could go up to him and give him two tight


    ps!
