“I’m not happy. I just think that he isn’t worth getting sad over.”
With that, I turned back around and left the room.
Too many mishaps had happened recently, and I wasn’t in the mood to argue with Michael any further.
I took a quick shower and planned on sleeping early tonight. After all, I had to wake up early the next day and take a trip back to my hometown to take back the hundred thousand to return to Michael.
Our first time had merely been a transactional occurrence, but now things had changed.
I came out of the bathroom and was surprised to see that Michael had followed me to my bedroom, sitting on my bed.
“Why are you here?” I asked in irritation. “I want to sleep.”
“Then let’s sleep together. I’m tired after a long day as well.”
He wasn’t mad. Instead, a hint of smile appeared on his handsome face as he lay down and made himself comfortable on the bed.
“If there’s nothing urgent, I’d like you to please leave. I’ve been in a really bad mood all day.” I stood stiffly, repressing the growing anger within me.
Is he really going to be this childish and stubborn?
“This is my house, remember? Are you trying to chase me out of a room in my own house?” Michael crossed his arms over his chest, staring down his nose at me smugly.
At that, I admit that I had nearly forgotten that I was currently on his territory. I’d also forgotten that I was supposed to tell him my decision after coming back here and that I couldn’t stay here any longer.
Though I did feel grateful that he gave me a roof over my head when I had no one else to turn to, I couldn’t stay here forever.
“If you’re not leaving, then I’ll leave,” I declared, digging out my clothes from the closet to change into them later on.
Michael strode over to me, grabbing ahold of my arm and turning me around, cornering me against the closet. Before my mind could process what was going on, he leaned down and kissed me.
My eyes widened in shock, and my mind went blank.
I hadn’t been intimate with him in several days. When he told me that he wasn’t going to force me, I’d thought that he would keep his distance from me for the time being.
It appeared that everything he said had all been a lie.
He pressed his mouth to mine desperately, his hands traveling up and down my body. I wanted to push him away, but my strength was no match for his.
In the blink of an eye, he’d picked me up and set me down on the bed, hovering over me with both of his hands on either side of my head. I tried to place my hands against his chest to try and stop him from going any further, but when I looked up, I could see that his eyes were already fogged over with lust.
