A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 36

Stefan raised his head to look at her pale face. Then he grabbed her wrist and dragged her forward.

Emmeline soon lay down on his legs. Then he hugged her tight in his arms and pinched her jaw to kiss her.

"Put me down!" she tried to push him away with her weak hands.

But Stefan still remained unmoved. He fixed his heated eyes on her blushed face, "You looked blushed, huh?"

"Do you feel good on the bed last night?"

"Just get used to it. We are couple."

'Hell no!' she screamed in her heart. She was aware that she was only a substitute of Anayah. She was not even recognized as his wife. Nor did she want him to be her husband.

"I am not your wife! Stefan Byrne, don't threaten me again! When your legs recover, I will leave!" she knew herself that she would still leave one day.

Stefan suddenly raised his head and stared at her with his dark eyes, "You are not my wife? But we have been doing what a common couple should do!"

He couldn't believe that she still wanted to leave.

"You violated me that night and what happened on the bed last night was because you need to make your grandpa believe that we looked like a couple! Stefan Byrne, I am here just to take care of you! Since you know that I am not Anayah, why don't you let me go?"

She knew herself that she would leave one day. So she would rather be cold to him in case she would be captured both physically and mentally.

When hearing that, Stefan looked livid. He then let go of his grip. He looked cold again, "Do you think that you can be safe even if I let you go? Do you think that grandpa will never retaliate against your family?"

He stared at her little face. He looked so cold that he seemed to be about to strangle her the next second. When hearing that, Emmeline couldn't help feeling frightened, "Stefan, I know that you feel aggrieved as I am only a substitute of Anayah. But please, as I have been taking care of you, don't retaliate against my father! You have promised to me before!"

Her eyes turned to be bloodshot while she was begging.

"If you want your dad to be safe, it depends on you. You have been wishing to leave here. And I would only be left alone. There will be no one by my side even if a substitute! So do you want me to still be kind in that situation?" Stefan was wondering if Emmeline still hated him as he was just a cripple. So she was so eager to leave.

At the thought of that, Stefan grabbed her arm even harder. Emmeline struggled a bit and looked into his eyes firmly, "So do you still want to stay with a girl you don't love at all for the rest of your life? I know that you wanted to marry Anayah just to embarrass Frank. But you were risking your marriage! I promise to take care of you and stay by your side till you can stand up again."

She stood up and filled the bathtub with water. Then she helped to strip him off and turned around to leave.

Stefan just looked at her while she was doing all these. Then she left and closed the door. When hearing that she said she would stay to take care of him until he could stand up again, he stood up and got himself into the bathtub, pondering while bathing in tepid water.

He was wondering if he should change his plan as he didn't want to stand up again so soon.
