"Sheryl! Explain yourself!"
He wouldn't rest until he got a satisfactory answer. If only he weren't' acutely aware that he was her first man.
If only his secretary hadn't investigated and confirmed that she had no close relations with any other man. He might have strangled her by now!
Sheryl was frightened by his intense gaze.
She glanced nervously to the side and, after a while, blurted out, "Do you like steak? I make delicious pan-fried steaks."
Steak?! Austin's anger reached its peak. He lowered his head and forcefully bit into her bare shoulder, with a ruthless intensity.
"Ouch..." Sheryl cried out in pain, her delicate and fair body trembling slightly.
She tried to move, but he held her down firmly.
Ignoring her protests, Austin continued to bite, not releasing her shoulder. His hot tongue gently licked the area, tormenting her even more.
"The man I like..." Sheryl couldn't bear it any longer. Twisting the bedsheet beneath her, she uttered, her voice trembling, "The man I like is..."
Austin paused his actions, lifting his head from her shoulder to stare directly into her eyes. His voice, cold as death, interrupted her, "What did you say?"
He wanted to hear it. Sheryl reluctantly closed her eyes, then repeated, "Giulio is the man I like."
"Snap!" A harsh slap echoed on her face. Sheryl lay on the bed, her head turned to the side, a momentary numbness in her lips.
She couldn't believe it."You hit me?!"
Was this man completely devoid of humanity? He slapped her?!
"Sheryl! You're mine, a woman I bought fair and square! Don't even think about giving your body or heart to another man in my presence!" Austin glared at her, uttering each word with a menacing tone.
Tyrant! Sheryl was getting angry too, glaring back at him with a look of disdain.
"Besides grabbing onto someone's weakness and threatening them, do you have any other skills, Austin? Are you that childish?!"
Again, that contemptuous look, as if he were trash. Was he childish? She would show him what real childishness looked like.
Austin suddenly bent down and kissed her lips. He bit her lips forcefully as if devouring everything.
With one hand, he untied his bathrobe, revealing his muscular body. The other hand roamed her slender body provocatively.
Without proper foreplay, he entered her forcefully."Mmm... Ugh..." Sheryl cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face.
This humiliation would stay with her forever. Austin's degrading actions would be etched in her memory.
When he lifted his lips from hers, Sheryl grabbed a pillow and fiercely hit his chest.
Her voice, mixed with sobs, cursed him, "Bastard! Get away! Shameless! Disgusting!"
Shameless? Disgusting? If that man Giulio were here today, she would eagerly welcome it, wouldn't she?!
"Sheryl!" Austin withdrew from her body and, with a firm grip, pulled her up from the bed.
His hand harshly gripped the back of her head, forcing her to lean close. His voice, threatening, reached her ears, "Listen to me.
I'm the only one who decides whether you leave or stay! If you dare to act innocent in front of me again, I'll play until your magazine shuts down!"
Play until the magazine shuts down?!
He knew she had agreed to be his mistress for the sake of the magazine, and now he was using it as a despicable means of coercion.
"Lunatic! Besides clutching at someone's weaknesses and threatening them, what else do you know?"
She opened her mouth with disdain, her head forced to lift, and her hair being held painfully by his hand.
He despised her contemptuous gaze, hated it to the point of madness.
Austin's face turned iron blue.
Sheryl knew she had provoked him. Feeling a strange satisfaction, she continued to disdainfully stare at his extremely ugly face.
"Austin, are you childish?!" she mocked.
No one had ever dared to insult him like this, even during his most needy times. In her eyes, he was just a mad dog.
Austin's flat chest heaved violently.
The anger in his eyes seemed to want to burn everything. With a sudden force, he grabbed her and slammed her back onto the bed.
He unleashed all his anger into her body, watching her cry out in pain without a shred of mercy.
Sheryl, you brought this upon yourself.
The endless pain spread. Sheryl wanted to ignore this man, walk away without a word, maybe slap him in the face.
But no, this man's power could engulf her at any moment, devour the entire magazine...
She couldn't do anything except endure, endure when it became unbearable, curse a little, and then be humiliated like this.
Her shoulder was bitten fiercely again, and a beast-like assault continued without stopping, regardless of her endurance.
She couldn't resist, she couldn't fight against herself. He... still enjoyed it. What was she torturing herself for?
Finally, given in?
Austin stopped his movements, leaned down to Sheryl's ear, and coldly said, "Then beg me... Kiss me, Sheryl."
Sheryl steeled herself, closed her eyes, and kissed his cheek.
Lips were quickly covered. Austin's scorching kiss traced down her curves, deliberately provoking her with an enchanting and soul-stirring intensity.
Warm hands didn't stay idle, igniting her soft and delicate body with their fiery touch.
His exceptional skills quickly aroused her senses. Her body inexplicably warmed up, softening...
Austin then began to move rhythmically. Sheryl was forced to cooperate, but there was no pain. A comfortable sensation spread throughout her body.
Like being intoxicated, her face blushed slightly, her eyes tightly closed, and soft moans escaped her lips.
"Sheryl, open your eyes and see clearly who I am," Austin said, satisfied, as he lifted his lips.
Sheryl, in a daze, opened her eyes and weakly uttered,"...Austin."
In matters of intimacy, Austin was like a mentor; everything was under his control, and she couldn't resist him.
"Sheryl, within a month, if I can't conquer you, if I can't make you willingly submit to me, then my last name won't be Austin!"
His voice was low and sexy, his gaze dark and terrifying.
He wanted this woman's heart. He intended to retaliate for the shame she poured on him.
He wanted to completely possess her, destroy all her pride and arrogance, and her laughable dignity.
Sheryl looked at him helplessly. Submit to him? Conquer her heart? It seemed so childish. Even without Giulio, she would never fall in love with him.
Her heart could never be possessed by him...
A shameless, inhumane man—how could she possibly love him?
But this time, Sheryl wisely chose not to argue or curse. Reasoning with a beast like him would only bring suffering upon herself.
Austin bent down again, continuing to kiss her, taking everything from her.
