Bert woke up with a start. His eyes were wide open, tinged with a crimson hue, evidence of the drugs coursing through his veins. He kissed her forcefully, and the metallic taste of blood spread in their mouths, but it only fueled his madness as if it provided him with more power.
Alivia was terrified, struggling desperately, but his iron-like body remained unmoved by her efforts.
With a sharp tearing sound, the fabric turned into shreds, and her thin chiffon shirt fell off instantly. He ripped off her lace bra with rough movements, scraping her back, yet he seemed completely unaware of the pain he inflicted.
"No, stop!" Alivia watched him lower his head to kiss her forbidden place, a strange sensation engulfing her entire body. Her toes curled slightly, her fair neck arching back in a stunning curve of fear and desire, her cries of distress turning into restrained broken whispers, "Bert, let me go, you can't do this."
But the man, crazed by desire, couldn't hear anything anymore; his mind and eyes were fixated on this "antidote" before him.
The night seemed endless, with no sign of it coming to an end.
Alivia didn't know what this restlessness and peculiar feeling in her body meant. She was simply drawn into it, step by step, walking into the abyss of insatiable desire.
She even closed her eyes, and her mind was filled with every scene of their encounters and growing familiarity.
"Do you like Mr. Harper?"
Involuntarily, Lucas's childish voice rang in her ears.
More than ten minutes ago, she was not sure of the answer, but at this moment, she was determined.
She liked Bert very much, so much that it was beyond her imagination.
She turned her neck and saw the back of Lucas, who had turned away from her, with wheat-colored skin, marked with blood stains from her scratched nails—a sight that was both alarming and ambiguous.
Images of last night flashed through her mind, and her face flushed with heat. She lowered her head and hid half of her face under the sheets.
A few months ago, when she first met Bert, she only sensed danger in this man, never imagining that one day she would end up doing something like this with him.
She didn't expect that this trip to Quartz City would involve so many events, leaving her mind in chaos, unable to think clearly, relying solely on her instinctual feelings to face it all.
The only thing she could be sure of was her feelings for this man, Bert.
