The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1704

"Aren't you leaving? Don't you feel ashamed?" When Holley saw Black still standing in the doorway, she became impatient.

Her frown, in turn, left Black utterly frustrated.

When Black had walked in and seen his beloved woman in the arms of another man, he had felt his heart break into a million pieces. This pushed Black over the edge. Everything had been driving him crazy. Now, he had caught Holley being intimate with another man right in front of him. Black couldn't bear the pain in his chest.

Black's feelings for Holley made him want to attack the man. In mere seconds, the violent impulse was beginning to take over. Black wanted nothing more than to beat the man to death.

With a lifted fist, he rushed toward the strange man.

As Black's hand was about to meet the man's neck, Holley stretched out her hands and held Black's still-closed fist.

"What are you doing?" Holley furiously glared at Black.

Black felt defeated. All the sadness and desperation he felt showed clearly on his face.

The hurt expression on his face devastated Holley as well, but she didn't show it. She continued, "If you're a real man, you'll go now. You're just embarrassing all of us."

This sentence made Black freeze.

Slowly, he softly lowered the fist which Holley had been blocking. His arms hung at his sides in defeat.

He stopped moving toward Holley and the strange man in the hotel room, and stared at Holley mutely. For a while, she looked like a stranger, like he'd never seen her before. Black wondered if this was in fact the woman he had fallen in love with.

In the past, Holley had been so nice and so kind that Black had fallen head over heels in love with her. For some reason, everything had changed. Black had no idea how this happened. He couldn't wrap his head around the why and how of Holley's sudden change, either.

As Black thought things through, he slowly stepped back and made his way out. He didn't say another word to Holley and the man.

Holley watched Black disappear at the end of the fifth-floor corridor. Feeling drained, she slumped down on the floor.

The man in the room with her was unbothered by the exchange. In fact, he was happy now that Black had gone. He squinted at Holley, gently squeezed her chin, and said in a playful tone, "Holley, he has gone now. Shall we continue?"

"Get out!" Holley yelled. Tears filled her eyes. She wanted the man to leave.

The man, however, had other intentions. He walked over to the door and locked it. Holley, emotional from the whole thing with Black, failed to notice that the man had locked her in the room with him. He pulled the startled Holley up and dragged her onto the bed.

"Let me go!"

Holley screamed and fought with all her might, but the man was much stronger than she was.

Soon, the man had stripped Holley of all her clothes. Holley lay on the bed, humiliated, desperate, and helpless. When she realized there was nothing she could do, she gave up. She closed her eyes and let the man have his way with her.

Meanwhile, Black had run out of the hotel. He didn't drive. He aimlessly wandered the streets instead, as if he had lost his mind.

Rex, who had been around the whole time, silently followed Black. However, he was careful not to walk too close or to make his presence known. He knew his son well. If Black knew that Rex was following him, he would be furious.

Rex was relieved when Black, after wandering around the streets for hours, finally made his way back home.

Because Black was able to make it home safely, Rex thought that nothing special had happened in the hotel. He told himself he had nothing to worry about.

Of course, Rex was unaware that Black had been so hurt and saddened by what had happened that he couldn't think clearly.
