Chapter 7


    The soft, sweet sensation of her skin electrified every nerve in his body. The beast within him,


    trapped for so long, was relentlessly battering against its cage, aching for release.


    When he was with ra, their lovemaking was beautifully in sync. No matter how much he


    demanded, she went along with his desires. Even on the days she was exhausted to the point of


    fainting, she neverined.


    But now, ra was beneath him, fiercely defiant, relentlessly struggling for freedom. Hot tears


    streamed from the corners of her eyes.


    ra looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, her lips parted and blood–stained. “Ian, I


    won’t stay for your humiliation!”


    Humiliated, ra quickly straightened her clothes and marched towards the door. As she pulled it

    emotion. “I’m sorry,n. I heard you’ve been skipping breakfasttely, and your stomach’s been


    acting up, so I came to bring you something to eat”

    Heidi’s face lit up with joy as she scurried over and ced the pink lunchbox on his desk, her voice


    sugary sweet. n, I remember how much you love tuna and ham sandwiches. Please try it and tell


    me if it’s good.”


    Disappointed yet obedient, Heidi nodded. “Okay, you go ahead. I’ll wait here for you. I won’t disturb


    you.”


    “There’s a lounge next door. Wait there.” He then pressed the inte for Dawson. “Take Ms. Heidi


    to the lounge and find someone to apany her.”


    Dawson was swift to act, and in less than a minute, he appeared at the door, gesturing politely for


    Heidi to follow
