<Chapter>Chapter 116 Who Seduced Whom? </Chapter>
"Behave myself?" Adrian's voice was laced with incredulity as he lifted his hand, gently tilting Natalie's chin upwards. His gaze met her tense expression, his eyes searching hers. "Did you say the same thing when you seduced me?"
The question hung in the air, heavy and loaded. Natalie's cheeks flushed a deep crimson at his words.
With a sudden burst of energy, Natalie pushed against Adrian's chest, struggling to break free from his confining embrace. But Adrian was quick to react, his hands swiftly capturing hers and pressing her forcefully against the wall.
"Who was it that drugged me and could hardly contain their eagerness to climb into my bed?" Adrian's voice was harsh, his words cutting through the silence. "You've seduced me time and again, you're such a greedy woman. I've seen my fair share of women playing coy, what can Jagger possibly offer you? Is he just a regular doctor, a casual lover? Did he fuck you?"
As the words left his mouth, Adrian's face twisted into an expression of pure anger.
Natalie bit her lip, choosing to remain silent in the face of his accusations.
On this particular day, Natalie was clad in a camel-colored coat, a slightly transparent white shirt peeking out from underneath. Her clothes were damp, her collar revealing a hint of her alluring figure. Adrian's fingers brushed against her chin as he posed the question, "What exactly is the relationship between you and Jagger?"
Natalie's hand shot up, slapping his away. "What is it to you?" she retorted, her voice sharp.
"When did you start seeing him?" Adrian's voice was laced with fury, his jealousy evident as he thought of another man by Natalie's side. His fingers gripped her chin, his anger palpable.
Natalie twisted his fingers, her voice rising in protest. "Let go!! He's my boyfriend, it's between him and me. Adrian, you..."
But Adrian was quick to seize her fingers, preventing her from pulling away. His gaze bore into hers, his anger unmistakable.
Natalie struggled to free her hand, her voice echoing through the room. "Let go!"
Without warning, Adrian's lips crashed onto hers in a forceful kiss. Before Natalie could react, a sharp pain shot through her lips.
Adrian bit her hard.
A metallic taste filled their mouths as blood seeped from the wound.
Adrian released her abruptly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Natalie's eyes widened in realization. He had done it deliberately!
"This is just a small lesson for you, Natalie. My patience has its limits." With those final words, Adrian left, his mood seemingly improved.
Retreating to the bathroom, Natalie caught sight of her reflection in the mirror. A small cut marred her lip, the blood easily wiped away with a tissue.
The pain made her gasp, her mind racing. It was glaringly obvious, she would surely be found out if she went out.
She couldn't understand what Adrian was thinking!!
This wound wouldn't heal in a week or two!
How was she going to explain this to Jagger?
Feeling helpless, Natalie remained in the bathroom. After a while, her phone buzzed with a text message from Jagger, inquiring about her wellbeing.
Natalie hesitated for a moment before replying, "Sorry, my period came on suddenly, it's not convenient for me to go back."
A long stretch of silence followed her message. Jagger must have left, right?
Natalie let out a sigh of relief. However, just then, a waiter entered the bathroom. "Excuse me, are you Ms. Natalie? There's a gentleman outside who asked me to give this to you."
Natalie looked down to find a pack of sanitary pads in her hands. A sudden warmth filled her heart, but it was quickly replaced by a pang of guilt.
"Um, can you please ask that gentleman to send me my bag?"
"Of course, please wait a moment."
Soon, the waiter returned with her bag. Natalie rummaged through it, pulling out a mask and securing it over her face before stepping out.
As she exited the bathroom, she spotted Jagger waiting by the entrance.
"Sorry, Jagger," she murmured softly.
"I should be the one apologizing. I didn't even notice that you weren't feeling well." Jagger's gaze fell on the wet stain on her clothes and he quickly shrugged off his coat, draping it over her shoulders. "Let me take you home."
A warm feeling washed over Natalie as she nodded in agreement.
