“Let go of me!” Natalie cried out, the pain becoming unbearable as she fought to free herself from his grip. But Brian lifted her off her feet with a single swoop and pinned her harshly against the elevator’s handrail.
The handrail perfectly leveled with Brian’s waist. Natalie was half-seated on it, tapped between him and the cold metal. “Can't you be reasonable for once, Brian?” Natalie’s heart pounded, her voice a mix of fear and defiance. If she had answered the phone, Brian wouldn’t have cornered her like this!
He discovered too late that Davis had taken it upon himself to announce their supposed love to the whole town with a grand gesture of hot air balloons. And the first thing he did after finding out was call her, desperate to explain, terrified she'd get the wrong idea, while she was casually strolling around Gayin’s company, seemingly indifferent.
Natalie grappled against his hold, the heat emanating from his body was overwhelming. Brian’s arm tightened around her waist, his grip leaving no room for resistance, while his other hand seized her slender leg.
Fear truly set in for Natalie. She had seen Brian’s anger before, and it was nothing she wanted to experience again.
“Brian, please don’t do this!” she pleaded, fright shimmering in her eyes.
“I'll do as | please without your guidance!” he hissed back at Natalie, teeth clenched in fury.
“Don't...” Her words were barely a whisper, her shame and anger turning into tears that flowed as she begged him for mercy.
What had she done to deserve this punishment? It seemed nothing she did was right. Whether she obeyed or not, his wrath was inescapable.
Brian didn’t realize Natalie was crying until he tasted the saltiness of her tears,
He paused, looking at her, her once neatly arranged hair then a tousled mess, her neck marked red from his earlier anger, softly crying and pleading for forgiveness. “It’s my fault...”
Natalie showed him her fear for the first time, trembling so much that it shook her entire frame. Taking a deep breath, Brian suddenly felt like a complete jerk.
It was the Howard family’s mess, yet he had taken it all out on her.
After a moment, his arms relaxed, and he pulled her into his arms, offering a silent apology. Still shaken, Natalie couldn’t stop the tremors that ran through her.
Brian was, beyond a doubt, a total bastard.
