Chapter 7 I hate women with an agenda.
"No! That's not true! I don't want you to touch me at all!" she said hastily.
Oliver's face darkened instantly, his voice cold as ice. "Would you dare say it again?"
Though he had no feelings for her, she was his wife in name after all, and her words were nothing but rejecting and insulting him.
Furious, Natalie thought, 'You want me to say it again? Fine!'
With that, she blurted out while glaring at him, "I don't want to sleep with you at all! And I don't want you to touch me!"
In the next second, she was flung against a bookshelf, her back pressing against the cold wood and spines of books, causing a slight pain.
Oliver quickly pressed up against her, his face close, his hazel eyes dark and deep. Such a gaze was intimidating to anyone, and she felt as if he could see right through her.
"Are you playing hard to get?" he said, sinister and terrifying.
Hearing that, Natalie felt a moment of speechlessness. She thought, 'He's such a narcissist!'
It suddenly occurred to her that Hailey bought the gift the day before the wedding, and it was Hailey who wrapped gift and gave it to her.
It was Hailey!
It was done by that bitch Hailey!
Natalie looked up at Oliver only to see a cruel smile on his face. The way he looked at her showed no respect or care at all.
She had heard many rumors about him, including one where he had beaten a rich heir at a dinner party so badly that the man ended up paralyzed.
Besides, he had kicked the pricey glass into pieces last night. She was sure that if she offended him, she'd end up the same as the glass.
"Oliver, I'm sorry... Just pretend I was never here!" Natalie said. Though he got her wrong, she knew very well that the smart move was to take the blame for now. After all, she'd be the one suffering if she pissed him off.
"Don't try to seduce me again, or I'll toss you out regardless of who you are." Oliver let go of her. "Scram!"
Natalie fled away at once. The sight bugged Oliver even more.
He thought, 'Those clowns in the family have been trying to get women around me as their spies, so I simply married one so as to put an end to their schemes.
'I hate women with an agenda.
'But why? When I heard her say she didn't want me, I actually was angry for a second.'
Natalie went back to the room and called Hailey furiously. She wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Hailey, did you put the lingerie in the gift box?" she questioned.
"Yeah. So?" Hailey admitted unabashedly, triumphant.
Hailey hated Natalie the most. She hated Natalie's enchanting face and figure, hated that Natalie always stole her thunder, and hated that Natalie used to be Adrian's love!
"Why did you do that? You're already with Adrian, and I've married Oliver on your behalf!" Natalie was angry.
"I wanted you to experience how great sex is. But I'm afraid Oliver isn't up to it given his condition, right?" Hailey laughed. "Natalie, just out of curiosity, exactly how ugly is Oliver?"
