Chapter 89
Matilda was unceremoniously tossed onto the passenger seat of Yvan’s sports car, d only in a
bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her. The moment Yvan hit the gas, the car roared to life,
shooting off into the night like a bullet from a gun.
The distance from Mason’s ce to Yvan’s secluded vi was a solid twelve miles, but with Yvan’s
reckless speeding, the trip took mere dozens of minutes. Upon arrival he barely paused to scan his
fingerprint to unlock the door before storming upstairs and dumping Matilda onto the massive bed.
The world spun around Matilda as if she were caught in a maelstrom. Her vision blurred and the drugs
coursing through her system left her as helpless as a fish out. of water, gasping for breath on the shore.
Suddenly, there was a weight upon her. With no strength to fight back or even to open her eyes, she
struggled to see who was looming over her, but could only make out a hazy silhouette.
A familiar warmth and scent enveloped her, and in her confusion, she murmured a
name, “Yvan.”
After that, her consciousness was a blur, a sensation of falling into darkness, disintegrating, vanishing.
Tears silently soaked into the sheets, mirroring the silent agony that screamed within her heart.
When Matilda awoke the next day, the bed beside her was empty. Memories of the previous night
flooded back, sending a shiver through her scalp as she nced
around the room.
Her movement caught the attention of the man in front of her, who was in the midst. of a video
conference.
Yven turned his attractive fair face towards her, the schrly coolness of his sses rendering him a
tinge of refined rascal vibe. He was dressed in a turtleneck sweater, the morning light casting a soft
golden halo around him, giving him an air of casual. elegance.
Matilda stared at Yvan for what felt like an eternity before he let out a derisive chuckle. “What’s the
matter? Did the drugs scramble your brain?”
She shot up, realizing she was naked, and quickly retreated back under the covers.
Her panicked expression didn’t escape Yvan’s notice, and his smirk deepened,

“Looking for clothes?”

Matilda stayed silent, her shoulders trembling slightly. She was afraid of him.
With a click of his tongue, Yvan strode over to the wardrobe, flung it open, and tossed a woman’s
blouse at Matilda, “The stuff you left behind five years ago is annoying, so I moved it all here.”
The implication was clear: these clothes, these remnants of her, didn’t deserve to be in the Boyd
Mansion.
Bearing the brunt of Yvan’s scorn, Matilda dressed hurriedly, and then grabbed a pair of leggings from
the wardrobe. Her legs were long and slender, the kind of well–proportioned that spoke of grace rather
than undernourishment.
Yvan’s gaze lingered on Matilda’s legs, and his eyes darkened.
Standing up, Matilda felt the aching soreness throughout her body, a testament to Yvan’s rough
handling the night before. She covered her face with her hands in frustration, leaning against the wall
next to the wardrobe for support as if to steady herself through a few deep breaths. After a long while,
she finally spoke softly to Yvan, “I’m leaving.”
Just like that, after the intimacy night, she thought she could walk away.
Yvan’s lips curled into a cold smile, speaking up, “Wait a second.”
As Matilda turned, he tossed her phone to her, “Don’t forget this. Wouldn’t want you to be unreachable
if someone needs to contact you.”
Hisst words were said though gritted teeth, clearly insinuating something.
Matilda slid the phone into her pocket and straightened her back, “Whoever tries to contact me is none
of your business.”
“Matilda, is that how you treat your savior?” Yvan’s eyes narrowed; his gaze following her slender
figure.
Matildaughed, “I never asked for your help!”
