After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 298

The drug hit her hard, making her head spin and her legs feel like jelly.

“What am I doing? Come on, you know what men and women like to do.” The man let out a low laugh. In the dim light, Catherine finally saw he was wearing nothing but a towel.

“Relax. Don’t be scared. I know you’ve got something in your system. Just let me take care of you.”

“Was it you who drugged me?” Catherine struggled to keep him talking, anything to buy herself a little more time. She forced herself to think straight and snapped, “Did Shirley send you? What did she promise you?”

He paused for a second, then grinned. “Of course she made it worth my while. Once I’m done here, I get a big contract. I get paid, I get to have some fun… Where else am I going to find a deal like that?”

“Do you even know who I am?” Catherine kept backing away, her hands searching blindly for anything she could use to protect herself. “I’m Shirley’s sister. My husband is the CEO of Nexus Dynamics. If you touch me, he’ll make you regret it.”

The man snorted and shook his head. “Don’t give me that. I know who the CEO is, and there’s no way someone like you could be his wife.”

He lunged at her.

“Bastard. I’ll fight you!” Catherine grabbed a water bottle and smashed it over his head.

He barely flinched before shoving her down onto the bed.

Catherine drove her knee up with everything she had. The man howled in pain, and she scrambled away, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him.

That only made him angrier. “You’ve got some fight in you. Good. I’ll show you what I can do.”
