Elliot could no longer contain the fury that had been building within him, compounded by the deep-rooted helplessness and fear about her escape. It all surged to the surface as he forcefully pressed down on her, starting to tug at her clothing.
Rose was startled and quickly tried to stop his actions. "Elliot, stop it! What are you doing? Let go of me! Are you out of your mind...?"
Completely unable to hear Rose's voice, Elliot stared at Rose's body, tearing her shirt without pity.
Rose resisted him with all the strength, which only stirred up his desire.
Elliot then started to pull her pants, his eyes glowing fiercely as if he would not stop until he achieved his goal.
Rose was stunned by his appearance; her buttons fell off, her collar was torn, and her pants were about to be ripped off by him, which made her cry out in horror, "Elliot, you bastard!"
Elliot paused and looked up at her, his rationality on the verge of collapsing. However, her tearful and angry outburst brought him back to reality in an instant. He watched as Rose's eyes turned red with tears in them, filled with hatred as she stared at him intently. Suddenly, a dull pain struck Elliot's heart and his fingers stiffened as he clenched them tightly before releasing them into thin air.
"I..."
His voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak.
Rose was finally relieved to see him stop, for a moment, she even thought she was really screwed for the day and Elliot would really take her.
Actually, their relationship used to be very close, but now Rose doesn't want a man who has feelings for another woman to touch her, even if that man is Elliot, the father of her child.
"Elliot, you jerk... Get out! Don't touch me..." Rose cursed for a couple of times, her face turned red and she was almost out of breath.
Elliot's eyes were dark and deep, staring at her without blinking. He lay motionless on top of Rose.
Elliot's eyes flickered and he sat up, ready to get up. At this moment, the phone suddenly rang and both Rose and Elliot's gaze fell on the name displayed on the screen.
Lawrence.
Rose hadn't even reached for her phone yet when Elliot questioned her from above with a mocking tone, "He called again asking you to run away with him?"
The certainty in his voice made Rose turn pale. She reflexively began to explain, "No! I was just seeing them off today. I didn't plan on leaving the country..."
