“You want my love?”
“I’ll tell you that all women want to be loved, all women want a promise of status as her man’s wife, and all women want to be cared about. So naturally I also want more!” Sherry finally spoke quietly, with her soft voice as if blown away in the air. “But I only want my son to stay with me and my poor dignity not to be trampled. I don’t need love!”
She actually also didn’t know what she wanted. She was irritated by the fact that he cheated her, so that she even forgot that their relationship was not based on love at all.
It was just a deal. Even for now it was still a deal between them—with her being his lover and his promise to allow her to see her son. It was very fair, but the only thing was that she would be his bed lover for the rest of her life! And that would be all. Fair as the deal was, why would she still feel so unjust in her heart?
“But if our relationship is not premised on the basis of love, I won’t be your lover!” she looked at him firmly. In fact, she was clear that people like him wouldn’t have love. How possible could he promise a woman love? The prodigal had no love, and all they needed was just woman’s body, to satisfy their desire and lust!
He didn’t expect she was also one of those shallow women! He smirked and said coldly, “No position, no love. If you nod yes, I’ll let you see Samuel tomorrow. If you don’t, you won’t see him forever!”
“You!” tears flowed silently from her closed eyes. She cruled her mouth sadly, forced a miserable smile. “No, but I have to see my son!”
She paused and took a deep breath in an attempt to soothe the pain in her heart, as if a knife stuck there. “You can’t stop a mother’s love for her child. Mr. Rowland, if you think it’s fair to Samuel, you just do as you wish.”
William trembled slightly at her words, “Does a title really matter so much to you?”
Sherry didn’t respond. She got up with the quilt covering her body, and went out after grabbing a set of clothes in the wardrobe.
“Hey! Where are you going?” seeing her say nothing anymore, he felt so powerless.
The door slammed shut. Sherry clenched her fits but found that she even had no strength to make it right now.
Why she would be so powerless and helpless!
She got changed, which he prepared for her six years ago, but it was her first time to wear it! If it was not that William tore her clothes, she would rather die than put on the clothes he prepared for her.
She smiled bitterly. Be his lover for her whole life? No! She must find Samuel! She only wanted her son, and she would never be his lover!
After changing, she opened the door, seeing him standing in the doorway. She involuntarily bit her lower lip tightly, walked outside without looking back.
“It’s been so late. Where are you going?” he dragged her, “Why are you so stubborn?”
Her lip quivered and said, “I don’t want to see you!”
“Sherry, if you walk out of the villa’s gate tonight, I promise, you will never see your son! I’ll send him abroad!” he snapped.
“You….” there was a buzz in her head, “What did you say?”
“I’ll do what I say!” his face darkened, “You’d better not piss me off.”
She put on a sad smile and forcibly held her tears back, replied quietly, “If you do it, I’ll hate you for my life!”
“So what?” he suddenly controlled her peremptorily, lowered his head and nibbled her ears. He knew her ears were her most sensitive part. “Don’t you dare to walk out of here! You can try me! You’ll never ever see your son!”
His voice was deep, husky yet piercingly cold.
Sherry couldn’t stop but shiver.
She stopped her steps, while he stopped threatening.
In the hallway, he looked down at her as she quieted down. He raised her chin, “Well, that’s right, my good girl!”
Her sight fell on his face where a sense of king-like pride and elegance radiated from sharp-featured outline, dark and profound eyes and dense eyebrows.
There was a glint of nervousness and heart flipping mixing in her upset and cold look. Was this man destined to be a curse for her?
Even now she was desperately eager to get away from him, and she resented him so much, but at last her hatred for him was light as air when compared with that flipped feelings. Was it true?
William looked at her with pity. He reached out and held her tightly in his arms. When her soft breath was so near to him, he had an urge to integrate with her as a whole.
He leaned forward and kissed her eyes with hot lips, dried her tears. Affection took place the coldness on his face.
“It’s all right! Only if you behaved well, I promise you can stay with Samuel and Daniel every day!” his threat worked.
She was silent but clenched her teeth, because he held her to the room where he took her virginity.
She cowered a little but still kept silent.
William gazed at her deeply, because the night, the environment and the presence of her all reminded him their first night and the past few nights. The harder he tried to suppress his desire, the more difficult he found it was.
When kisses fell on her cheeks, she subconsciously jerked back.
She, on the other hand, would never forgive him for his threats and deceptions. Did there was nothing worth his attention other than sex? Why were men so disgusting? They always attempted to invade women’s body and threaten them.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
