The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573
“No, I don’t!”
With her fists clenched, Taya flared at the man before her eyes with extreme resentment.
“You used a false identity to force yourself on me, so I always thought that I was taken advantage of by a stranger.”
“I feel sick whenever I’m reminded of the incident, and it has been
hard on me…”
“Yet, you kept it a secret and never brought a word up about it. Have you ever considered my feelings?”
Upon hearing that, Griffon felt as if a silver needle had pierced his
eardrum, bit by bit exposing his irrationality…
“I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. Too many things happened
between us after you came back.”
“All I had in mind was how I should get you back, and I completely
forgot about Greyson…”
After his voice died away, he wrapped his tight arms around the
fuming Taya.
“I’m sorry, Taya, no matter how I try to explain, I have to admit
I was being too selfish and that I’ve never considered your feelings…”
Taya struggled to push him away, but she could do nothing to
retaliate against his absolute strength as her petite body trembled
all over.
Griffon raised his spindly fingers to stroke her on the back, gently
comforting her…
“This is a mistake I committed back then. It doesn’t matter if you
blame or hate me, but you’re not in good health, so don’t get mad, will you?”
He coaxed her with gentle words, but Taya wasn’t buying it. “Your
greatest concern toward me is to let me go.”
Griffon shook his head lightly, his raspy voice carried a hint of
sorrow. “I can’t let you go, if I could, why would I suffer all the
time…”
Hearing so, Taya raised her head from his arms to look at the man. who hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go. “Since you’re in pain, why would you still come to me?”
If they were to never see each other again, time would heal all their wounds, so why would they stay entangled, tormenting each
other?
Griffon stiffened, his tired eyes were covered with webs of blood vessels as his empty heart ached. “Don’t you care about me at
all?”
The seething Taya blurted out, her fingers curled into fists, “Yes, I
don’t!”
With that, she gathered all her strength into pushing Griffon away once more and finally managed to break free from his embrace.
Without even bothering to give him a glance, she turned around
and went to the door. Before her hand could reach for the
doorknob, there was a sudden ‘bang’ from behind.
The sound of a heavy thud prompted her to turn around, just in time to see Griffon’ body banging against the floor, his face
completely pale.
Taya’s heart missed a beat. In panicked steps, she hurried
forward, a little flustered in trying to help him up, but he stopped
her by raising his hand…
“I’m fine, I just have a headache, don’t worry…”
Seeing the sickly Griffon, the resentment in Taya’s heart dissipated a little.
“What’s wrong?”
She crouched on the ground, at a loss, her worried eyes on the
man rubbing his temple with one hand.
“Probably too tired.”
When Griffon saw the concern in her eyes, he knew that Taya claiming to not care for him at all were all words blurted out in a fit
of anger.
With the corners of his lips h o oked to a smirk, he forced himself
back up from the ground, for fear that she would be a little too
worried.
After stabilizing his figure, he picked her up and placed her on the
couch before raising his head to stroke her dazed face.
“I came to you because I have something to tell you. Give me
some time and the chance to make everything clear to you, is that
all right?”
His voice carried a hint of a plea as if he had something urgent to
explain to her.
