Tears overflowed Molly's eyes and poured down her cheeks. She struggled fiercely and groped the table with her hands. When she touched the ashtray, she grabbed it without any hesitation and directly hit Brian on the head.
But after years of training with XK Intelligence Agency, Brian couldn't be tackled like that. Even in such an agitated state, he felt her movements and, as she was about to hit his head, he raised a hand and grabbed her arm. He also stopped the imperious kiss he was forcing on her. Both their lips were bloody. No one knew whose lips had been broken.
The strength of his grip gradually increased with the fury going up in his eyes. It made Molly feel as if her bones were about to be crushed.
"Please, let go of me now..." Molly begged. With her face drowned in tears, and with gradually increasing pain in her wrists, she seemed immensely awkward. As the pain crossed her threshold, her face went pale, but she wasn't willing to surrender. Trying hard to distract herself, she gnawed violently on her lower lip, breaking it and filling her mouth with blood!
"Huh!" Brian hummed coldly. His black eyes seemed icy cold, as if what he heard was totally absurd. He pressed her wrist slightly with his thumb, which seemed to paralyze her and she let go of the ashtray in her hand, which fell down on the floor with a bang.
The muffled banging sound echoed around the odd ambiance of the study, adding more tension to the oppressive air between them.
"Brian Long..." Molly called out his name, sobbing. Her voice seemed hoarse, as if someone was rubbing rusty iron with sandpaper. Her eyes were begging as she trembled and said,"You can ask us to do anything to pay back your money... please, please just let me go!"
Brian's anger had already subsided a little when she called his name in that choking voice. However, when he heard that she wanted to go away from him again, it came back, even fiercer!
