Chapter 229


    Realizing something was wrong, Elijah opened the door and found no one at theputer desk.


    “Sheena?” Elijah entered the room and investigated.


    The gasping sounds wereing from under the desk!


    He swiftly lifted the tablecloth, revealing Sheena curled up in the confined space, her face unusually


    flushed and sweaty.


    He crouched down, gently touched her neck, and realized she was burning up.


    Sheena was…


    The coffee on the desk was only halfway consumed, and the sugar packets in the tray had been torn


    open. Elijah immediately recalled Faye’s unusual behavior when he visited the Freeman mansion hours


    ago, putting the pieces together.


    “Damn it!” He carefully pulled Sheena out from under the desk.


    Sheena thought the cold body close to her feltforting, and under the influence of the drugs, she


    had an indescribable urge. She tightly embraced the man’s neck, driven by the scent of male


    hormones, her thoughts momentarily clouded.


    Elijah carried her back to the bedroom, feeling her restless movements. Afraid of causing her pain, he


    loosened his grip.


    “Sheena, hold on a bit longer. You’ll be fine soon.”


    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sheena struggled to stay conscious and raised her eyes. As she


    recognized Elijah, a surge of anger overwhelmed her. Suppressing the burning desire, she raised her


    hand and pped him across the face.


    Having been drugged, the p was not forceful, but Elijah, who was heading toward the bathroom, was


    caught off guard.


    Sheena struggled, slipping from his grasp, but her hand still firmly held onto his shirt.


    Suddenly, both of them lost bnce and tumbled to the floor.


    Seeing Sheena’s head about to hit the bed corner, Elijah acted quickly. Disregarding his own safety, he


    embraced her neck and pulled her into his arms, using his back to cushion the


    impact.

    “Ouch!”


    His back forcefully crashed into the bed corner, worsening the swelling from the previous injury. The


    pain was so intense that he broke into a cold sweat, almost fainting on the spot.


    Before he could process the pain in his back, Sheena pped him again. She had broken free from his


    embrace, ttened his upper body on the floor, and pressed her knee firmly against his chest, gripping


    his cor.


    Sheena red at Elijah with overwhelming hatred, shouting, “Elijah! You’re despicable and


    Chapter 220


    shameless! Those sweet words tonight were just an act! Did you think drugging me would make me


    lose control, giving in to your filthy desires? Dream on!”


    “Sheena, calm down. This situation—”

    Another p struck his face. This time, Sheena used every ounce of her remaining strength. The


    raging mix of heartbreak and anger was consuming her sanity.


    The pain from the impact left Elijah momentarily stunned, his head throbbing and ears ringing.


    Moreover, the sharp pain in his back from hitting the bed corner had not subsided. In agony, he tried to


    catch his breath, but Sheena’s hand on his cor was shaking, and a murderous glint gleamed in her


    eyes.


    “Elijah, you asked for this!”


    Sheena released him, determined to reach for the rm at the bedside. However, the rekindled lust


    overwhelmed her, and she found herself uncontrobly shivering on the floor.


    A sinister voice urged her to vent her frustration on Elijah, but she resisted. She pressed her skin


    against the cold floor, attempting to regain control of her consciousness.


    Enduring the pain, Elijah struggled to sit up, witnessing Sheena’s attempt to calm herself down.
