Chapter 84 Contraceptives
Lillian said these implicit words, and it took Alexander a while to understand what she meant. He cleared his throat and slowed his pace.
Lillian walked beside Alexander, feeling awkward as well. She had been so angry just now, which led to her words. She felt angry, but she knew she had to remain silent about this matter. The mere thought of her first time being taken away like this left her feeling particularly resentful. Lillian thought, 'How much had he drunk last night? He had said he wouldn't have a sexual relationship with her before.'
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed. So she asked, "Alexander, what were you thinking last night?"
Alexander said, "Let's talk about it when we get back." Alexander didn't want to explain to her and kept his response brief.
"Why not now? Didn't you say you wouldn't have a sexual relationship with me?" Lillian asked, a bit agitated.
Alexander stopped and looked at her with an unhappy expression, asking coldly, "So, are you questioning me now? Do you want me to take responsibility for you?"
"I don't need that!" Lillian's eyes were firm, and she said stubbornly, "I just want an explanation; I want an apology!"
Alexander's decision to have sex with her in that situation was also a last resort. He had intended to compensate her after returning to the country to make her feel better.
"I can apologize to you. I was wrong." Alexander apologized to her sincerely.
Lillian was slightly surprised. He had always been proud and indifferent. In her opinion, even if he did something wrong, he wouldn't apologize. What he did in this matter was unruly, but she didn't expect him to apologize so readily.
"Well, I can't forgive you now, but I will slowly accept your apology in the future," Lillian said calmly. Lillian added, "What about your explanation? Please tell me."
Alexander patiently said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
"I want to know now!" Lillian persisted.
"Lillian, are you ever going to stop?" Alexander said angrily. "Don't forget, we're a couple. It's only natural for me to have sex with you! What explanation do you want? I am the explanation!"
He would never tell her that someone had drugged him!
"We are in a contractual marriage!" she shouted angrily.
Lillian shouted angrily, "Why should I have sex with you? Even if we're a couple, you can't do this. Don't you have any professional ethics?"
"Professional ethics?" Alexander sneered, emitting a malevolent chuckle that sent a shiver down Lillian's spine as she stood under the bright sun.
Alexander said, "Lillian, let me tell you, I have no professional ethics. I can also turn our fake marriage into a real one. Do you want to try living a life worse than death by my side in the future?" He was finally provoked and asked her with a dark face.
Lillian shouted, "You don't need to scare me. You don't like me. I know my place." Lillian, seeing that he was no longer tolerating, became completely angry, and her arrogant demeanor diminished.
She despised herself for being so easily intimidated.
"Is there anything else?" Alexander asked.
Lillian bit her lip, her face flushed, apparently still having something to say but unable to speak.
Alexander said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hold it in!" Alexander couldn't wait and turned to walk forward again.
Lillian followed, gritted her teeth, and said, "Well... I need to take emergency contraception."
Alexander turned around to look at her and said, "I'll have someone bring it to you later." He had remembered this earlier, but he had been busy since early morning and hadn't had time to arrange it.
Lillian responded and walked behind him.
Back at the villa, Lillian went upstairs, and Alexander left again.
After showering and changing into fresh clothes, she settled onto the bed, preparing to switch on the air conditioner and enjoy a drama, when a knock sounded at the door.
A girl said, "Lillian, this is what Alexander asked me to bring you." A stranger came and handed her a small box of medicine.
Lillian accepted it, expressed gratitude, and observed as the girl departed.
Lillian opened the box, took out the pill, and looked at the tiny thing that could prevent everything and relieve her worries.
Lillian swallowed the pill, and for the first time, there was a hint of novelty in it.
Now, no one would disturb her. She turned down the air conditioning and lay in bed with fruits within reach and her favorite show on the tablet on her legs. At this moment, she felt really comfortable. After having sex with Alexander, being sad and upset was of no avail. Life had to go on, and people always had to look forward.
She didn't know if she was right to think so or if it was a sign of weakness. But she also felt helpless. Since she had signed the agreement, she had to abide by it. She was a compensation, not qualified to leave. If she angered Alexander, he really had a hundred ways to deal with Adam.
At this moment, Lillian didn't want to think about these annoying things anymore. Today was a day off, and she wanted to welcome it happily - although it was a bit late now.
She first made a video call to Harry, and Harry quickly answered, his smiling face appearing on the phone.
"Harry, long time no see!" Lillian greeted Harry.
Harry couldn't stop smiling. "Lillian, you and Oscar are not here this year, and I feel lonely." Harry felt a little sad.
"Harry now is the time to relax and be happy. Lillian and Oscar are now living in a mansion, which is much better than our small house. What do you understand!" Lisa snatched the phone and pushed Harry aside.
Lillian greeted Lisa happily, "Happy holidays."
Lisa asked, "Lillian, when are you and Alexander coming back? I've prepared a lot of precious ingredients this year, and I've even learned a few Michelin recipes, just in case Alexander can't get used to our food."
Lillian replied, "I don't know either."
"Okay, just let me know before you come back," Lisa said with a smile.
Lillian saw Harry sitting in the back of the video, and it seemed that he didn't have a chance to come forward and speak. She didn't say much to Lisa and ended the call after a few casual chats.
She then opened the forum. She had yet to check the forum information during her time in Biarritz. When she opened it, there was a lot of information: readers urging her to update, wishing her a happy holiday, and various greetings.
Lillian felt happy and replied to each one. She also turned her thoughts into words, half true and half false, to satisfy everyone's curiosity and planned to create more comics after returning to the country.
After doing all this, she gradually felt drowsy. She turned off the tablet and prepared to take a nap.
During this nap, she felt like she had slept for a long time. When she woke up again, it was already dark, and she tried to move her body but was shocked to find that her hands were tied and her legs were also bound. She was lying on the ground at the moment. Can anyone tell her what's going on? Was she kidnapped?
