Chapter 240 She Had Fallen In Love With Mark


    She had fallen in love with Mark.


    At that thought, Rose realized that maybe she was just not willing to let Kevin go.


    "Miss Rose, does it hurt?" Mark asked.


    Thatplicated look on her face as she stared down made him worry.


    "No, it doesn''t hurt at all. Thank you." She finally raised her head and met his gaze.


    "Good."


    A pregnant silence fell upon them. It was suffocating that Rose decided to just break the ice. "Is that


    western restaurant yours?"


    Since she never heard of that diner before, she figured it would be a good topic.


    "Yes, it''s a gift from my father when I was a kid. He let me manage that myself but since I don''t go there


    often, only a few people knew about it," he exined nonchntly.


    "It is a good restaurant. Can I go there often in the future?" She looked at him expectantly.


    A faint smile appeared on his lips as he answered, "Sure. We''ll wee you warmly, after all, you got


    injured in our restaurant. We are very happy that you still like our restaurant."


    "Okay." She lowered her head once again as her grin became too hard to hide.


    "May I ask you a question?" Her eyes couldn''t meet his as embarrassment overwhelmed her.


    "Go ahead,"


    he urged. The flustered look across her face confused yet amused him at the same time. For that


    reason, he tried to sound as gentle as possible.


    "What kind of person do you like?" After a lot of breathings and collection of courage, she finally


    managed to ask.

    Upon her query, his eyes darkened as he peered at her in bewilderment.


    "Never mind. I''m just in a bad mood because I suddenly have these doubts in my mind. You know the


    thing that happened between Kevin and me, right?" she queried.


    "Yes, is that what you wanted to ask?" A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he figured out that she


    didn''t mean anything else by her question.


    "Ever since I got engaged to him, things turned in a different way than I anticipated. I don''t know if


    everyone felt this at some point or was it just me? Honestly, I feel disappointed." A frown made its way


    on her face as she fidgeted with her fingers.


    "All I can say to you is that if you really like him then stick with him. If not, then let go. With rtionships


    like this, we don’t usually pursue our happiness. As long as the person that we like is happy, then we’re


    good too." As he said this, he thought of Anne. Just by that, a sincere smile crept out of his face.


    "I supposed so," she muttered quietly as he saw that mysterious look on his face.


    "I''ll go ahead. I still have something to do and it''s gettingte. Call me if somethinges up." Without


    waiting for her response, he stood up and walked out of the ward.


    As Rose stared at his broad back, she couldn''t help but feel her heart constrict. She now was sure that


    she had really fallen in love with him. Sadly, she didn''t know if he could forgive her after all the lies that


    she told everyone.


    At that thought, she could only clench her fist as she made a difficult decision.


    The night was beautiful.


    Stars started to shine as the daybreak came to an end. They were creeping above the bustling city.


    Lamps along the streets started to light up as they weed the nightfall.


    Kevin drove towards a hotel. It was a five-star infrastructure that held a luxurious cocktail party.


    "Why did you bring me here, Kevin?"


    "Shut up and just follow me." He gripped her wrist tightly as he stomped his way forward.


    As soon as they stepped inside, an attendant weed them. "Good evening, Mr. Kevin. We''ve


    prepared everything for you."


    The man led them to a private room.


    As they trailed along the dimly lit hallway, they caught sight of women not far from them. With their long


    legs and good figure, they stood confidently in front of the door.


    "Mr. Kevin, pleasee in," he said politely while Kevin followed his gesture without a second thought.


    When the three came in, the women outside started to enter too.


    Anne was not used to this kind of atmosphere. There was a hard look on her face as she stared at how


    Kevin remained mum after seeing her performance.


    "What are you waiting for? Pour some wine for Mr. Kevin," the man ordered strictly.


    Since they didn''t know who Anne was, they were neither polite nor rude to her. If one mightment,


    they would think that she was an outsider as she refused to indulge in the happy banquet.


    She sat at the corner as she observed the happenings in front of her. Her face was void of any


    emotions because she didn''t know what to feel.


    There was confusion in her heart as she tried to figure out what Kevin wanted to do.


    "Mr. Kevin, you''re so annoying," the woman beside him said coquettishly while she rubbed his arm.


    Kevin drank the wine, thus a smile appeared on his lips. Just by his eye smile, every woman within the


    room could be intoxicated.


    "Well, don''t you like it?" he fired back suggestively.


    Anne stood up when the scene became too much for her.


    "It seems like the woman that you brought here is unhappy, Mr. Kevin." She wrapped her arms around


    his neck seductively as she spoke in a sultry voice.


    He kept Anne''s figure within his line of sight as he answered dismissively, "Just let her be. I have


    nothing to do with her."


    Contrary to his words, he looked out for her. He would stare outside from time to time. Once he couldn''t


    catch sight of her anymore, he pushed the woman beside him.


    Anne stared at her reflection through the bathroom mirror. Her face was somber but there was a


    stubbornness in her eyes. She turned the faucet and let the sound of the running water ovee the


    silence.


    Strangely, there was a sudden prick in her heart.


    There was a constricting pain in her heart, but she didn''t know why. Was it because of Kevin?


    "That''s ridiculous! Why would you ache for him?" She clutched her heart and talked to it.


    When the picture of Kevin holding another woman appeared in her mind, her mood turned sourer.


    She shook her head at the thought as she aggressively washed her face with the cold water. Anne


    rubbed her face as if her life depended on it.


    Once she was finally calm, she walked out of the bathroom. Outside, she saw the man who called


    himself Corbin Chen.


    He was in his forty''s. His protruded belly that must have been because of drinking and his not-so-good-


    looking face made people ufortable. However, what she noticed the most was his eyes. He


    checked her out as if she was prey. His obvious ill intention made her look at him with loathsome orbs.


    "Miss Anne, are you feeling better?" Corbin Chen was a lecherous person. The moment Kevin entered


    the room with Anne, he had been eyeing her.


    She got a perfect figure and her cold temperament only made her look interesting. Her emotionless


    eyes were cold yet enchanting. It made him want to dominate her.


    He didn''t dare to make a move towards her earlier because she was with Kevin. Now that she was


    alone, he had nothing to fear anymore. Moreover, Kevin had confirmed that this woman had nothing to


    do with him.


    "Yeah," she answered with distaste.


    Corbin Chen realized that she had just washed her face. Her bare face looked so soft and fragile as if it


    would be broken when touched. His eyes traveled down and reached her wet cor.


    Anne knew that he was molesting her through his eyes. As if on cue, she pulled her hair and covered


    her chest. Unfortunately, Corbin Chen thought that she did that because she wanted to appeal her


    charm on him.


    "Shall we have a drink?" he asked as he stepped closer to her.


    Initially, he thought that Anne was aloof. However, when she fiddled with her hair, he took that as a cue


    that she was also interested in him.


    "No thanks, I should probably head back now."


    She was about to storm out and go home to see Eddy but the man in front of her blocked her way.


    "Why? How dare you refuse me?" Cobin Chen thought that he was a rich man and a woman like Anne


    had no right to refuse him. However, putting on airs like that was not something that she would find


    amusing.


    Honestly, it was obvious that he was just a nobody. If he was someone that powerful, he would have


    recognized who she was.


    "No thanks." She tried to walk away but Corbin Chen stopped her once again.


    He threw a knowing look at the people around him and in just a snap, strong men gripped her arms.


    "What do you think you''re doing?" She put on a strong facade and asked him coldly. Anne struggled


    but it went in vain.


    She was disgusted at what was happening to her. Going to a ce like this was enough but she didn’t


    expect to meet such distasteful people.


    "I just want to have a drink with you." He gestured his head and now the men held her tighter.


    "Let me go!"


    "I''ll let you go if you take a sip from this wine." A smirk made its way to his face.


    "No way!" She had been exposed to so many wicked things. She didn''t need to be a genius to realize


    that there was something else in that wine.


    She tried her best to get free, but their grip was so strong that they didn''t falter at all. As Corbin Chen


    observed how Anne tried to strive, the will to conquer her became stronger.


    "Why are you acting so hesitant? You''re just a woman who sells her body. Aren''t you Kevin''s whore?


    Now that you had sex with him, there''s nothing wrong if you sleep with me too, right? I will pay you,


    don''t worry," he snickered at her.


    Corbin Chen was so brave. There was no reason to be frightened after all. Kevin wouldn''t mind sharing


    his woman.


    His men clutched on her and forced her to drink the wine. Afterward, she lost consciousness.


    It had been twenty minutes since Anne left the room.


    Kevin sat impatiently in the private room. Seeing his quiet figure, the people around him didn''t dare to


    speak anymore. The woman who apanied him through the night sat by his side timidly.


    He drank another ss of wine as he realized that Anne had been gone for too long. He wondered


    where she went because she should have returned by now. When annoyance started to creep on him,


    he stood up abruptly.


    "Are you upset, Mr. Kevin? If our service wasn''t enough to entertain you, please tell us what you want,


    and we''ll do it immediately. Our boss has always admired you."


    "Fuck off!" he bellowed.


    He walked out of the room. Several grinding bodies across the dancing hall weed him. The dimly


    lit room and the smell of mixed alcohol almost made his dizzy. Kevin looked around and finally caught


    sight of Anne.


    He frowned at the position she was in. Without further ado, he walked over.


    As her figure became clearer, he figured out that she was unconscious, and Corbin Chen was about to


    take her away.
