His grip was very tight. Luz felt humiliated.
She flashed back to her wedding night seven years ago and cried silently. Her tears dampened Henry's face as well.
"Henry Maynard, are you trying to... rape me again?"
Because of her words, the fierce kiss suddenly became gentle.
Henry's breathing also became a little heavy.
He stopped groping her body and stared at her, his expression dark. He said word by word, "I raped you?"
"Didn't you?" She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "When have you ever cared about what I wanted? You always had to force me to have sex with you, didn't you?"
Including the time when Logan was conceived.
"Ha..." Henry snorted when he heard that.
If she didn't tell him, he wouldn't have known that she was unwilling every time they had sex.
Henry was no longer as aroused as he was. In fact, he was now cold and distant.
"Get out of the car!"
He snapped suddenly, his voice as cold as ice.
Luz felt a pang in her heart, but she straightened her dress and got off the car anyway.
Before she could even steady herself, the car had already driven away. She stumbled slightly.
She had gotten off in a remote area. There were no taxis around at this time of the night. Luz forced herself to be calm and started walking.
She would rather walk home than stay with that man!
...
Two hours later, when she opened the door, Luz almost slumped to the ground.
Declan was sitting in the warm living room, flipping through a photo album.
When he heard the door opening, his frown dropped slightly. He got up to open the door, but Luz had already come in and was changing her shoes on the porch.
Declan took her bag from her and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Luz? Did you hurt yourself?"
"I'm fine." Luz's face was pale from exhaustion.
She had been walking in high heels until she couldn't take it anymore, at which point she had taken off the shoes and walked the rest of the way barefooted. The rough asphalt had cut her feet.
But even those wounds didn't hurt as bad as the one in her heart.
She pursed her lips and smiled. "Is he still sleeping?"
"Hmm," Declan replied. "I took him to his room to sleep."
