Chapter 0076
“What?” His sudden question left me baffled, making me struggle even harder.
“I asked,” he said, gently biting my earlobe, “have you ever taken our marriage seriously even though it’s a marriage alliance?”
I admitted that I was weak. Although we hadn’t shared much of a married life, he knew my sensitive spots all too well.
I felt like a kitten that was being held by the scruff of its neck. I was unable to do anything but whimper in his arms, completely losing all my strength.
When his tongue explored my ear, a string in my mind snapped.
“Stop it,” I said, closing my eyes in discomfort, only to open them immediately.
Closing my eyes only amplified the shameful sounds of his sucking and kissing, making my body respond Involuntarily. I arched my back helplessly in his embrace.
He deliberately pulled

away and said coldly, “Have you ever taken it seriously, Ariana?”
I couldn’t detect any lust in his voice. He just wanted to humiliate and control me in this way. It must be a
man’s inherent cruelty.
I gritted my teeth in hatred. Once I calmed the tumult in my heart, I felt utterly hollowed out.
“Never!” I shouted at him. “Never! Are you satisfied now?”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, fighting back my sobs. I couldn’t be weak in front of him! My words angered him. He controlled me with one hand while the other slipped under my clothes. He held my softness in his grasp, and his words pierced my heart like needles.
“Of course. Who still talks about love in this world? It’s better this way,” he said, his voice hoarse as he tightly held me and shamelessly fondled my body.
“I was almost fooled by you with all those talks about confession and love. It seems you’re just unsatisfied.”
All of a sudden, I felt like I was in deep trouble. As he advanced step by step, I found myself with nowhere to retreat.
Shaking my head, I looked at him and shouted, “Not here!”
Nicholas‘ voice deepened. “Why not? You weren’t serious, and neither was I.”
He placed his hand over my short hair with a mocking expression evident in his eyes. “Since it’s all a game, I think it’s exhilarating to do it here. Didn’t you always want to try new things with me before?”
“That was before!” I protested. “Nicholas, once you sign your last name on the divorce papers, we wo be husband and wife anymore!”
“Whether I sign the papers now, we’re still married.”
He wiped his hand with his jacket and said, “If I want to, there are a hundred ways to control you without touching you.”
