The Heiress's Bodyguard Is An Enemy
He gave her a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes, and his smile scared her. When he moved closer to her, she retreated, backing up, the back of her knees hitting the edge of the bed, and he went to grab her waist, pulling her into his chest, her breast pressing against his, its weight lingering between them.
"My sweet girl, did you think you could run from me? Hide from me?"
She tried to push him away; it was like fighting against an unyielding wall, and she started beating his chest, "Liar, let me go."
He did not show any pain, or any anger, which unnerved her more. It made her feel uneasy. She didn't know what he was thinking or what he wanted from her. He took everything from her, lied to her, and betrayed her. Everything between them was a lie, even their first meeting was a lie.
She can feel the tears coming up, but she forced them down. She didn't want to give the bastard of seeing her crying from heartache and betrayal. But he noticed the tears and wiped them away with the rough pad of his fingers and told her in a rough, low voice, "My love, I can give you anything you want. Anything in the world."
She hissed, "Away from you!"
He continued smiling, but his eyes turned scarier. "Except for that."
And he kissed her, his mouth filled with hunger, and she knew he would never let her go. It was a twisted game of desire and a clash of hatred.
Till the end.
