Chapter 1573
Emily struggled to resist, but soon, Charlie’s kiss made her weak in the knees. An indescribable feeling rose in her heart. Was it grief or sadness? Subconsciously, she called out, “Charlie!”
Her voice was filled with dependence, but also choked with emotion..
Charlie stopped, looking up at her, seeing her eyes brimming with tears. He frowned, “What’s wrong with you?”
Emily suddenly hugged him, burying herself in his chest.
Charlie’s heart softened. He hugged her tightly, soothing her by stroking her hair. Then he explained, “Sure, those Horizon Enterprises folks tried to win me over with a woman, but I wasn’t interested. Even if you hadn’t shown up that day, nothing would’ve happened.”
Emily bit her lip, choking back tears, “Let’s break up, then go back to being friends, okay?”
Charlie stiffened, lifting her chin with his finger, his eyes dark, “Don’t you believe what I told you?”
Emily shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears.
“So why break up?”
Emily remained silent.
*How are we supposed to be friends?” Charlie smirked, “Every time I see you, I want to undress you. All I can think about is you in bed. How am I supposed to be just friends with you?”
Emily blushed, speaking softly, “Then we can avoid seeing each other.”
“Do you think you can run off to Oakdale City again?” Charlie snapped, “Emily, if you dare to leave, I’ll personally bring you back and make sure you can’t leave the bed. Believe it or not?”
Emily’s eyes widened in surprise, “Are you out of your mind?”
“So, don’t push my buttons!” Charlie glared at her coldly, biting her collarbone. “Take off my robe.”
Emily winced in pain, lifting her leg to kick him, and when he dodged, she tried to scramble under the bed.
If she could just get to the next room, she’d be safe. Even Charlie wouldn’t dare bully her in front of others!
Charlie easily caught her arm, flinging her onto the bed with a scoff, “Emily, don’t forget our agreement. You don’t have the right to refuse me!” “I’ve paid off all my debts, I want to break up!”
Emily shouted, but was quickly pinned down on the bed, her resistance futile
At one in the morning, Charlie came back to the bedroom from the bathroom. Emily was lying on the bed, curled up. The dried tear tracks on her face made her look pitiful.
As soon as he approached, Emily opened her eyes and backed away, her eyes filled with fear.
Charlie bent down to touch her face, “Are you scared? If you’re scared, don’t talk about breaking up with me again. Or else it’ll only get worse!” Emily’s tears welled up again. She looked at him in both fear and anger.
The Charlie she saw today completely shattered her previous understanding of him. His gentleness and elegance were all a facade!
He was a madman, a devil!
Charlie held her face to keep her from backing away, “Submit to me, and I’ll be good to you like before. You can never leave me!”
Emily’s eyes were red and full of determination.
Charlie, unable to let go, released his hand, kissing the tears off her cheeks, isn’t it good to be with me? Why are you always trying to run away? Trust is built by both parties. Trust me, and I won’t let you down. Don’t talk about breaking up again. It makes me angry!”
He sighed lightly, “I admit that I was a bit out of control today. I took some pills. I’ll be fine tomorrow. You rest well, I’ll go check on Kya”
Emily’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she pulled the blanket over herself silently
Charlle gently kissed her cheek again, then turned off the bedside lamp and walked out.

May we please have updates. Thank you...
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
