Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 675

The scent of William, a familiar fragrance reminiscent of fresh snow, filled Emelie's senses for the first time in many years. It triggered memories of intimate moments with him, and her expression darkened.

William lowered his head. "Your grappling skills have improved. I heard you learned what you know now from Wesley. Did he teach you in positions like this?"

They were so close that she could feel his breath on her neck when he spoke. She fought to hold her breath.

Even after three years apart, she knew him well enough to sense his displeasure. But why was he angry? She didn't know, and she didn't want to know either.

She hated the feeling of being controlled the most, as it reminded her of her helplessness during Ronan's tragic death.

Her usually clear eyes were clouded with bloodlust. She raised her head and locked eyes with William.

"Let go!" she demanded, her voice low and dangerous.

Instead of releasing her, William tightened his grip.

"Angel," he said, his voice deepening.

The single word sent a shockwave through Emelie, freezing her in place. At the same time, she seethed.

William pinched her chin.

"Angel, I allow you to do as you please only because you belong to me," he declared in a low voice. "Who gave you permission to be with Wesley?"

It was only then that Emelie knew why he was angry. A mocking smile curled on Emelie's lips.

"I should have known why you're doing this to me, Mr. Middleton. It seems like you're jealous," she retorted. He was just too possessive.

She freed her chin from his grasp and scanned the surroundings. "I remember this field. You once told me that in this life, I would either die alone or get back together with you."

"That hasn't changed," William replied.

She belonged to him, regardless of the fact that he caused her parents' death, that he was the Pierce family's enemy, and that he shot her with a crossbow. She could only be his despite having survived.

A surge of anger ignited within Emelie.

"Then prove you still have what it takes!" she challenged, and with a swift movement, she pushed William away.
