Chapter 123
Chapter: 123 He said this last line so quietly it was almost a whisper.
Ariana listened intently to the whole story. When he was finished, she sneered, “I want to take back what | said. That’s not love but the story of a stupid woman.”
She seemed to pique his interest with this comment. “Then what about you?” he asked, sitting up straighter and moving closer to her. “Love or profit. Which would you choose?”
As his eyes examined her, she felt it was oddly familiar. It was a feeling of being trapped in a cage, suffocating. She lowered her eyes, avoiding the question.
“I'm not here to watch a movie. | just want to make that clear. | don’t know where you got that ruby necklace but that doesn’t matter. | want it.”
Ariana took a deep breath before continuing, “That necklace is very important to me. What would you like for it? I’m willing to Pay as much as you want.”
The man studied her quietly for a long time, as a light seemed to shine in his eyes, which grew bigger and bigger. She didn’t dare to look at him for too long. The music started again.
“| don’t want money, | just want you.”
His eyes were still fixed on her face and she felt even more suffocated.
“Are you kidding me? | told you that I’m married.”
This made him chuckle. He raised his hand to stroke the frown line that had appeared between her eyebrows. “Yes, | know. | want you to divorce that disabled man of the Anderson family and be with me instead. Can you do that?” ©
Ariana looked at the man in astonishment. His words had puzzled her. He stared back at her, like a hunter watching his prey. At any moment he could strike and she would have nowhere to go. “Are you unwilling?”
Most of his face was covered by a mask but what she could see was beautiful. As he spoke, she watched his lips. They were Like perfect roses, tempting her.
But these roses had thorns. His eyes were sharp, and she began to tremble under his intense glare.
“| don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
The man let out a hoarse Laugh which was soon drowned out by the music. He then turned and began cutting the steak as if nothing had happened.
Ariana quietly looked at him. He wasn’t doing anything but still she felt stressed.
As the movie came to an end, Ariana became more restless. Just as she was gearing up to do something, a plate of steak was placed in front of her.
“Have a taste. You might like it.”
Ariana stayed still, looking at the man with a_ puzzled expression and a trace of disgust.
