Chapter 1304
However, Ryan was not below using any brutal methods at all!
Madeline tried to pull away from Ryan’s grasp, but the man was too strong and her bones felt like they were moments away from being shattered.
As she was being forced to follow behind him, both her slippers slipped off amidst her chaotic footsteps.
Anger exploded from Ryan. The man was no longer the kind and gentlemanly person she once knew.
He dragged Madeline to the villa’s storage room where all sorts of trinkets were placed. Without exposure to sunlight, there was a musky scent of age in the room.
Ryan pressed Madeline against the wall and grabbed both her shoulders, forcing her to face his enraged expression. “Why must you be so stubborn? Must I torment you? Let me tell you, Eveline Montgomery, I don’t love you as much as you think. My heart will not soften when it comes to you!”
Madeline pursed her pink lips and broke into a sarcastic smile. “Who cares if you love me or not? Torture me if you want, Ryan. I don’t care if I die. But you’ll never win my husband!”
That was something Ryan did not want to hear the most.
He grabbed Madeline’s slender neck as his eyes grew predatory.
“Do you not fear death at all, Eveline?”
“Death? The only thing I fear is not seeing the man I love the most again!”
“You…”
Enraged, Ryan tightened his grip on her neck.
Unable to breathe freely, color began to flush on Madeline’s cheeks, but she refused to beg or make a sound.
Ryan wanted to tighten his hold so that he could control Madeline with fear, but he found himself unable to do so.
He refused to admit that he loved Eveline. At most, he only fancied her—at least that was what he hypnotized himself to think.
Logic told him that he would lose this game the moment he fell in love with Eveline.
Watching Madeline go short of breath, Ryan finally let go of her.
Madeline slid down the wall and fell onto the icy floorboards. “Cough, cough…”
Soon later, Ryan came as well.
The man’s expression was cold at the sight of the untouched food. He squatted to take the utensils before placing a spoonful of food by Madeline’s mouth.
“Open up.”
Madeline pulled her pale lips away and turned her face.
Ryan’s gaze hardened as he grabbed Madeline’s jaw with one hand and tried to force-feed her with the other.
Madeline broke out of his grasp. “Don’t touch me. I’ll eat, okay? Jeez!”
Ryan’s gaze turned gentle at her compliance.
Madeline took the food. Just as Ryan thought she was going to eat, she suddenly threw the bowl harshly at his feet.
The broken shards cut the back of his hand, leaving a red trail in its path.
Rage erupted from the man and Ryan grabbed Madeline’s jaw. “Eveline Montgomery!”
