True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1378

"What are you looking at?"

Maria followed Liam's line of sight and shrieked immediately.

Her voice drew Liam's attention back. His face turned red as he felt embarrassed and ashamed.

Maria's pretty face was scarlet as well. She didn't dare to look at Liam, but she felt rather aggrieved. Hence, she started to argue with him.

"Liam, don't you like Celeste? Why are you staring at me?"

Liam was already furious. Now that he was being questioned, his anger only increased.

He grunted, "Shut up."

"Why should I shut up?" Maria looked at him with a blush on her face and gathered her courage to shoot back, "Is what you say the law?"

"Maria Lowe," Liam roared, "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Perhaps he was irritated by Maria's words or perhaps he was truly angry. He reached out and grabbed Maria's waist, his palm purposely reaching towards her soft, exposed skin.

His eyes were furious, but he didn't avoid her gaze. Instead, he glared at Maria.

His gaze was so sharp that he looked as if he was about to skin Maria alive.

Maria was shocked. She had never been this close to a man, nor had she ever been treated like this.

Her cheeks were red and she couldn't move because of Liam's grip on her waist. His hands were so dangerously close that she couldn't wrap her head around the situation.

"I don't like this," Maria retorted loudly, "Let me go!"

However, Liam kept his eyes on her as his hands were filled with malice. He was humiliating her.

"You appeared in front of me and kissed me forcibly several times. Yet, you say that you don't have any intentions towards me?" His voice was low, and there was a kind of contempt in his tone. His deadly and seductive voice overflowed from his lips as he added, "Hmm?"

Liam's last word was rather pitchy, unconsciously adding a sexy and ambiguous tone to his voice.

Maria was stunned and took a deep breath. His touch made her feel a little pain.

Liam pursed his lips tightly. His heart was filled with dark clouds. He didn't want to admit that this girl had some kind of influence over him.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't control himself.

For so many years, he was afraid of being involved in scandals. He had never been in a relationship, and he also maintained a definite distance with girls.

However, right now, he had already lost everything and was blacklisted. No one paid any attention to him. Currently, he was in an extremely awkward situation.

Hence, no one would pay attention to what he did. Of course, he did not want to restrain himself either.

He put more strength into his hands because his body told him to. He was eager to get more.

Liam's actions reflected his thoughts perfectly. The choice he made at that moment was to take things a step further.

Maria's mind went blank as if her brain had malfunctioned. She could no longer think.

Liam's words and actions left her with an incomprehensible blank feeling.

She felt that this was not the Liam she knew. She even felt dizzy because of his actions.

However, the shame of being humiliated by him was stronger. Maria felt flustered.

In the past, she had fantasized several times to get close to this man. That would be the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to her.

It did happen now, but this was not what she wanted.

They weren't doing it because of love, but because of his disgust towards her. He hated her. That was why he wanted to humiliate her like this.

Maria didn't want this.

She wanted to break free from the man in front of her. However, because of her struggle, Liam's desire to conquer her was aroused.

Maria's face was so red that it looked as if blood was about to seep out of her pores.

Liam was angrier because of Maria's struggle. He suppressed Maria with little effort and didn't allow her to move at all.

Rip!

The sound of fabric tearing was heard.

Both of them were instantaneously stunned.

Maria was scared. His behavior made her terrified.

Her eyes also turned teary as hurt made itself present in waves in her heart.

Liam was stunned as he took a few steps back. He loosened his grip on Maria and returned to his seat, rubbing his eyebrows.

What was he doing?

It was only then that he realized what he had done. He had lost his composure.

He quickly released her.

Alas, Maria's body still had traces left by his strength just now. It was a little painful. Liam even tore her clothes open.

She felt that he could have gone further.

Fortunately, he let go of her.
