What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Take Them Off 

Yes, she was just like a dog being caged up whenever she was with Lewis. He would pat her whenever he was happy. If he wasn’t, he would dump her to the side and forbid her to wag tail at other people. 

What dignity did she have? Being Mrs. Alvarez? It was all but a joke. 

So, how could she hurt Avery for just that bit of dignity? 

Seth looked at her with sparkles in his eyes, gleaming ambiguously. 

her 

Her messy hair made her seem like a real puppy. Once Josephine cleaned up every last scrap of food, she bit her lip and looked at Seth, enduring the pain. 

Even if she felt like she had no dignity, she would still feel the grievances bubbling in her heart, making her feel ashamed. 

Seth chuckled and placed the bowl down. Then, he waved the phone in his hand. “Do you want to see how pathetic you looked just now?” 

Josephine’s pupils constricted a little. She looked at the phone and froze. It was a recording of her. The humiliation grew stronger, making her wish she could disappear from the face of the earth forever. 

Seth played with his phone, admiring his work. He smiled and said, “I really want to send this to Lewis. Do you two usually have such fun?” 

Josephine clenched his fist. Of course, she understood what he meant by that, so she turned. her head to the other side in humiliation, not wanting to reply. 

Seth suddenly reached out and slowly untied the ropes around her wrists. The moment she was set free, she suddenly felt much lighter, but she listlessly slumped to the floor from the 

chair. 

Seth grabbed her by her clothes and picked her up, dragging her outside. 

Josephine had no more energy to struggle. The collar choked her like a rope around her neck- she was so suffocated she almost died of asphyxiation. 

He dragged her to the bathroom, and while she was still on the floor, he turned on the shower and hosed her down. The water was so cold Josephine shivered. She hugged herself and curled up against the corner. 

Seth held the showerhead and bent down in front of her. “Take them off.” 

Josephine was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. Water constantly flowed down from her head, wetting her face and hair and blurring her vision. 

Seth smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you. Especially women who had been 

screwed by Lewis.” 

Josephine found it hard to imagine that such a gentle, intelligent-looking man would say something so lewd. 

The water gradually grew warmer, and she stopped shivering. 

Seth said once more, “If you’re going to wait for me to take your clothes off, I might not be gentle. You better think twice. Oh, and your friend is still with me.” 

Josephine pursed her lips and glared at Seth with humiliation, rage, and even fear. She had so many emotions, yet her pitiful face could barely express one-tenth of them. 

The only aspect that could attract any attention was her reddened eyes and her unkempt hair. When a woman looked at a man with humiliation in her eyes, it aroused the man’s desire to dominate and torture. Especially when it was a beautiful woman. 

Seth looked at her eyes, and his expression darkened. “Don’t make me repeat myself the third time. Take them off.” 

Josephine slowly clenched her clothes tightly. 

Seth lost his patience. He suddenly threw the showerhead. It landed on the floor and wriggled like a snake, spraying water everywhere, making both of them wet. He grabbed Josephine by the shoulders and pulled her over. Josephine reflexively hugged herself tighter and furiously shook her head at Seth. 

“It’s pointless trying to put on a pitiful act.” Seth grabbed her by the ankles and pulled, sending Josephine falling to the floor. The back of her head landed on the floor heavily. It hurt 

so much that she saw stars. 

While she was in a dizzy fit, her clothes were torn in half. She could not even care for the pain. She immediately got up and retreated to a corner, curling up as if that was the only safe place. The reality was that no safe place existed, just like her lying to herself about Lewis’ feelings. 

toward her. 

Seth was not annoyed one bit. He looked at her with an ambiguous smile. When he tried to comb her hair, she swerved. 

Josephine hugged her knees, curling up against the corner, and buried her face in her legs. If there was a pit, she might perhaps have already buried herself in it. 

“Look at how dirty you are. I’m only trying to give you a shower. What are you afraid of?” He gently combed his fingers through her wet hair. The next second, he clenched his fist and grabbed her by the hair. He pulled on her hair, forcing her to look at him. He said, “Are you trying my patience?” 

Josephine furrowed her brow tightly in pain. She signed with difficulty. “Let Avery go. Let her go, and I’ll do whatever you ask.”

Seth chuckled as if he had just heard a joke. “Do you think I’ll believe you?” Not only was he laughing, but he also sounded like he was doting on her, if one ignored the fact that he was still grabbing her hair. 

“If I let her go, will you still obey me?” 

Josephine pursed her lips as if he had seen through her. If he let Avery go, naturally, she wouldn’t obey him. She will try her best to end her life to stop being humiliated by him. 

Seth suddenly sighed gently and let go of Josephine’s hair. “I’m giving you one last chance. Take them off; if not, I’ll go and take off Avery’s clothes. How about that?”
