After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483 True Side

Jimmy took Mary to the hospital.
There were only two left in Hannah's office. Hannah met Oscar's glance and averted his eyes straight away. She was afraid that Oscar might do something on the spur of the moment.
Buried her head in work, she said, "I missed work these days for the affairs of the Sawyer Group, so I get many to handle today. I might work a bit late, you can go back home first if getting bored."
"No worries, I'll wait for you." Said Oscar in a moderate tone.
"I'll try to hurry."
"It's okay, take your time," Oscar smiled, "I don't want my darling to indulge in virility."
"…"
Hannah ignored him and tried to focus on work. The office was silent. Rose didn't appear in the office all day since she caught the couple kissing but reported the work progress through the office software to avoid disturbing them.
When Hannah managed to finish the work on hand, she looked at the clock and saw it was a little past five. She looked up and found Oscar asleep on the sofa. He didn't lie down but leaned back on the couch, which made him seem not to be sleeping without a closer look.
Hannah was not aware when did Oscar drop off. She quietly approached him and looked at him: the mighty frown on his frosty face seemed that he was still thinking in his dreams; with a closer check, there were shadows under his eyes, showing his tiredness of these days. Hannah felt sorry for him. Before she knew about Oscar, Hannah took him as a fop whose life was all beer and skittles, but afterwards, she realized that this man was aspirant and diligent and would do everything exceptionally well. Oscar was a great deal abler than Charles, who always flaunted himself. Especially after they unmasked each other, everyone knew a stark contrast between them.
Looking at Oscar quietly, she was contemplating whether he was a gift from God for her rebirth. She never imagined that she could meet such a perfect man in her second life. Her impression of Oscar used to be an obstacle in Charles' development, and his ability only brought her scorn or even somewhat hatred.
Now she had to eat crow. Hannah couldn't help approaching Oscar, wishing to be as close to him as possible. Just as she got close to him, not reaching his body yet, Oscar caught her hands with strength abruptly, and with a sudden effort, he rolled over on top of her. The next second, a broad hand seized Hannah by the throat. The man asleep a second ago was gazing at Hannah with red eyes. In such a short distance, Hannah saw brutality-a death-approaching feeling of suffocation-inside his eyes, which was so frightening that she wouldn't say boo to a goose.
She was unfamiliar with his sanguinary face right there. It seemed that Hannah saw an unprecedented face of him, which appeared to be his true side. With her heart pounding and fears heightening, she stared him in his eyes, felt his overwhelming strength and his hands clutching her neck.
"Oscar…." Hannah called his name painfully.
On hearing her effete voice, Oscar, who seemed to have gone mad, recovered himself suddenly. Seeing the woman seized by him, frightened to pale, all the coldness on his face disappeared at once. He unclenched his hands on her neck. For the moment, Hannah doubted if she had hallucinated just now. Oscar abruptly bent down and kissed her. Different from the sweet kisses earlier, the kisses at this time were nothing but aggression. Hannah let him abreact but made no response. She had no idea how to respond to his freaking out and the different Oscar from her mind.
After a long time, Oscar restored calm. He let go of her but was still pressing against her. Oscar looked at Hannah's pale face, which used to be as pink as a peach after kisses. She must have been terrified this time-terrified of him.
A natural smile crept onto his face as if nothing had happened between them. Oscar touched her soft lips gently with his slender fingers and asked in a low, attractive voice, "Does it hurt?" The answer was obvious, as her lips were red and swollen. Oscar felt sorry for having lost control.
Hannah gazed at him with her black eyes, which were as clear as a black gem, gorgeous.
"Oscar, who did you think I was just now?" she asked.
Oscar's Adam's apple moved.
"Or, you fend off anyone who approaches you?" Hannah continued. Oscar's reaction was so smooth that it seemed to be a reflex instead of aiming at anyone. What kind of upbringing forged his vigilant personality?
Oscar picked her up from the sofa. "I have many dark sides." He said.
"For example?" Hannah looked at him, wishing she could see into his heart and soul. Master Oscar of the Wells family though he was, he behaved in a way different from the wealthy. Who was precisely this man named "Oscar"?
"For example," Oscar stared at her in the eyes, "I may kill people."
"…" Hannah's heart was pounding, fears in her eyes being apparent. Oscar took all of her emotions into sight without any explanation or excuse for himself. The atmosphere was suffocating.
Hannah looked away from him and asked, "Will you kill me one day?"
"Never," Oscar answered firmly.
Though Hannah was aware that men were not trustworthy, with the hurts from Charles being her experiences in several lifetimes, she chose to believe what Oscar said-she never learned, for God's sake! If one day, once again, a man tricked her; or destroyed her family and took away all her belongings or even her life, she undoubtedly deserved it!
