Chapter 531


    Esther was livid and could not resist shouting, “You! Pervert!”


    Influenced by the effects of the drug, her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.


    “Damn it! I can’t stand it anymore!” The man’s lips moved closer to Esther’s, and she involuntarily


    retched at the nauseating smell of cigarettes and alcohol on his breath.


    Seeing this, the man grew even angrier and pped Esther. “B*tch! What are you ying at?”


    Esther’s mouth was instantly flooded with the metallic taste of blood. She spat at him with force, her


    voice seething with rage. “You’re pathetic! You’ve never been truly loved by a woman in your life, have


    you?”


    “Shut up!” The man’s eyes turned bloodshot as if Esther’s words had struck a hidden wound.


    Esther looked at him mockingly and retorted, “Do you even know what it’s like to be loved? Or to love


    someone? You don’t! You’re just an animal driven by lust.”


    The man grabbed Esther’s hair, yanking her head back to gaze into his blood-red eyes. “Woman, do


    you think I’ll let you go now?”


    Estherughed coldly. “Let me go? You won’t! Humans possess restraint, but animals like you only


    know indulgence.”


    As Esther spoke, her fingers dug painfully into her waist. The sharp pain momentarily cleared her drug-


    hazed mind.


    The man’s eyes became even more terrifyingly red. He angrily grabbed a little ss bottle full of


    candies and forcefully stuffed the rest into Esther’s mouth.


    “B*tch, you think you’re tough? Let’s see how long youst!”


    The man got up, swaggered to his liquor cab, and poured himself a ss of red wine.


    Seeing the opportunity, Esther scrambled off the bed and stumbled toward the door, her movements


    unsteady and awkward. But when she finally reached it, her slender fingers trembled at the lock,


    unable to open it.


    “It’s an electronic lock. Without the fingerprint or code, you won’t be able to open it from the inside,” the


    man dered sinugly.


    Dizzy and disoriented, Esther stumbled barefoot into the bathroom and managed to lock the door


    behind her. Crouching feebly on the toilet, she desperately tried to force herself to vomit the candies


    she had just swallowed.


    It was futile.


    In a moment of despair, she turned on the cold shower, allowing the icy water to drench her. Her body


    shivered uncontrobly, yet the frigid water only fueled the fire within her. She felt as though she was

    lost in a scorching desert, forsaken and desperate.


    ‘Save me. Who will save me?”


    Esther sat in a bathroom corner, holding her knees close. Her whole body burned, and her blood felt


    like it was on fire. She bit her arm, tasting fresh blood mixed with cold water.


    The man finished his wine and then used a key to unlock the bathroom door. Esther confronted him,


    gripping the showerhead like a weapon. He swiftly took it from her and pulled her out of the bathroom.


    “Quite the toughie, aren’t you?” He sneered and smiled sinisterly. “But I do love breaking spirited girls


    like you!”


    As he spoke, he loomed over Esther, casting a shadow that seemed to engulf her.


    Esther closed her eyes in despair, her breath catching in her throat.


    But then, a sudden loud crash echoed through the room.


    The man’s body fell heavily onto her, like a boulder tumbling down. Esther’s eyes snapped open, and


    she saw Bradley standing there, silhouetted against the light.
