Chapter 1842 Starting Over


    "Be, open the door," Luke''s voice echoed through the door. There wasn''t a hint of anger; he seemed


    oddlyposed.


    But Be could read him like a book, and it sent chills down her spine.


    Feeling cornered, Be mped her hand over her mouth to stifle any sound, attempting to suppress


    her fear.


    "Last chance, open the door!" Luke''s patience was wearing thin.

    As he finished speaking, Luke grabbed a chair and mmed it against the bathroom door.


    Be couldn''t help but release a scream.


    "F*cking open the door!"


    Luke''s voice grew more manic, his movements quicker.


    Each impact felt like a blow to Be''s heart.


    She scrambled, searching for anything to use for defense, but there was nothing.


    To make matters worse, cracks began forming in the bathroom door''s ss.


    The fractures slowly spread across the ss surface.


    Be''s heart clenched.


    "Unlock the door, now!" Luke''s final furious shout reverberated, followed by ss shattering as his fist


    burst through, a muscr arm extending to unlock the door.


    Luke''s shadow loomed in the doorway.


    Be''s heart sank with the door swinging open, her eyes the with terror.


    Silhouetted against the light, his face remained obscured, but the rage emanating from him was


    palpable.


    Luke entered without a word. His grip on Be was tight as he carried her.


    He could feel her trembling against him.


    A cruel grin spread across his face as he tossed Be onto the bed.


    Dizziness swept over her, the sensation of the soft mattress beneath her back.


    With caution, she sat up, her gaze fixed on Luke.


    "Luke, don''t push your luck."


    "Who''s pushing luck, you said?" Luke scoffed, unbuttoning his shirt deliberately.


    His movements were deliberate, akin to a predator studying its prey.


    "Be, we''ve been engaged for ages. The closest we''vee is holding hands, which is why I was


    tempted by that b*tch. You are partly to me for this too! If you hadn''t neglected me, things wouldn''t


    be messed up like this!"


    Luke''s voice was heavy with emotion, his face a mosaic of grievances.


    Be might''ve erupted inughter if it weren''t for the awkward situation.


    The good old victim-ming strategy.


    He sumbed to his own lust and dared to point the finger at her? How absurd!


    Despite these thoughts, Be worked to maintain her calm facade, attempting to cate Luke''s


    feelings. "Let''s not get worked up. If we''re going to make a fresh start, you have to give me time to


    adjust, don''t you think?"


    Luke appeared to be swayed and momentarily halted his actions.


    With a relieved breath, Be persisted, "I''ve forgiven the past, but I need time to adjust. Let''s take it


    slow... alright?"


    "No chance, not okay." Luke''s sneer was palpable, and Be sensed the strong undercurrent of


    mockery in his eyes.


    He moved faster, shedding his clothes in deft motions, leaving him in his underwear.


    Be didn''t avert her gaze, nor did she meet his eyes.


    Looking would cause unease while avoiding his gaze might leave her vulnerable to a sudden pounce.


    Luke maintained his eerie calm, "Rx, Be. Your first time will be gentle, and I promise you''ll enjoy


    it."


    With that, he lunged toward her.


    Be''s scream echoed as she hurried to escape the bed. Unfortunately, her foot got caught, and she


    was pulled back under him.


    "Let go of me!"
