Chapter 187


    As Isabe felt the cool sensation on her lips, something inside her snapped.


    She dumbly tilted her head back and didn’t dare to push Seth away.


    His hint was clear. He wanted her to repay him with what little she had.


    Difort filled Isabe’s heart. The sensation on her lips reminded her that


    everything was back to square one, just like five years ago; she could only


    ask Seth for a favor in exchange for her body.


    Initially, his kiss carried a sense of exploration and warning. But as he realized


    she didn’t resist, he deepened the kiss. Soon, Seth was eager to devour her


    clothes with his hands before touching her body, which he knew all too well.


    Her body was under his control while her soul floated above, mocking her for

    returning to where she had started.


    “I can forgive you for those incidents. Come back to the secretary’s office,


    and I’ll protect you,” said Seth as he traced her lips with his finger. He gave


    her a small promise after he got what he wanted.


    Isabe could feel his anger slowly subsiding, or perhaps he wasn’t actually


    furious in the first ce. At that moment, she opened her eyes and turned


    her face to the side, meeting his gaze with her teary eyes. In return, Seth


    kissed the corner of her eye with surprising gentleness.


    With a click, he undid her bra.


    Isabe opened her mouth and spoke up as heid her t.


    “I can take the responsibility.”


    Seth paused slightly and assumed that she had lost her mind. Perhaps he


    was also worried she might regain her senses, so he propped himself up and


    grabbed his tie, intending to bind her wrists to avoid any potential unwanted


    situations.


    Sensing his intention, Isabe pouted. “Seth…”


    He heard her voice but didn’t stop his actions, choosing tofort her by


    kissing her cheek.


    “Can we please stop?” Isabe asked.


    Seth gave her a cold nce and forcefully tightened the tie before lifting her


    hands above her head.


    Now, she was like a delicacy waiting to be devoured.


    “Behave now. I don’t have any kinks.” He brushed away the strands of hair on


    her forehead gently. While unbuttoning his own shirt, his gaze remained


    fixated on her.


    Isabe blinked and somehow regained herposure. Just as Seth threw


    his shirt aside and leaned down to kiss her, she suddenly turned her face


    away and asked, “Is there no other way?”


    Hearing her question, Seth felt slightly annoyed. He covered her mouth and


    said, “All I want now is to…” His words were cut off as a sudden pain surged


    through his hand!


    Isabe bit his palm and lifted her body abruptly, using her head to sh


    against his.


    Bang! Seth saw stars as he was suddenly attacked. He felt dizzy, and Isabe


    overturned his body. After a few ruckuses, everything on the coffee table was


    swept onto the floor. Isabe struggled to sit up against the couch with her


    wrists still bound, breathing heavily. It wasn’t from suffocation but from sheer


    fright.


    Seth fell beside her and faced the carpet so she couldn’t see his situation.


    After a while, Seth propped himself up and turned to look at Isabe with a


    fierce re.


    “Isabe, are you trying to get yourself killed?”


    Taking a deep breath, Isabe retorted, “I warned you.”


    Seth was speechless. He covered his forehead and was infuriated.


    In the past month, Isabe had attacked him at least three times. First, she


    locked him in the bathroom and switched off the water heater. Second, she


    threw soup on his face. Now, she dared to headbutt him at a time like this!


    Isabe gulped and struggled to undo the knot of the tie with her mouth.


    Then, she reached out to touch Seth’s forehead.


    “Get lost!” Seth swung his hand abruptly. In that split second, he pped


    Isabe across the face.


    The p made Isabe feel even dizzier than the headbutt.


    Seth frowned and stood up with the help of the coffee table. As he looked at


    Isabe, who was bewildered, he had mixed feelings. Though he was furious,


    he had no intention of physically harming her. The education he received


    since childhood had engraved the principle of not hitting women into his


    -decency. He didn’t understand why she would suddenly reach out like that!


    “I’m sorry.” Ignoring the burning pain on her face, Isabe propped herself up


    and looked at Seth. “I didn’t mean to attack you, but there are some things I


    need to rify.”


    “Shut up!” Seth saw the injury on her lip and was even more displeased. He


    had no patience to listen to her nonsense.


    The words were already at the tip of her tongue, but Isabe had no choice.


    but to swallow them all. Suppressing her embarrassment, she buttoned her


    clothes before getting off the couch and picked up Seth’s shirt.


    Seth stared at her intently and snatched the shirt from her hands. Then, he


    turned and left the room without bothering to put on the shirt. Bang! The door


    mmed shut, echoing throughout the entire vi.


    As the door closed, Isabe’s hands remained in the air. After a long while,


    her legs weakened, and she copsed onto the floor.
