Dangerous Obsession

4

"Ava, you tricked me into coming back but still refuse to divorce. What exactly do you want?"

He tugged at his tie in frustration, still wearing the same suit she had seen on TV.

Ava felt a moment of disorientation. His tone was so cold, completely different from the gentle way he had just held her.

She suddenly got out of bed and walked up to him, reaching out to pinch his face.

William's handsome face was distorted by her hands. Annoyed, he grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing?"

Ava sniffed. "I need to see if you're really my Will. My Will wouldn't treat me like this. He loves me. He wouldn't have a change of heart!"

She almost shouted the last sentence!

She was truly heartbroken and aggrieved.

How could she accept that he suddenly didn't love her anymore, as if he were a different person?

William's grip on her wrist tightened instinctively.

After a long moment, he released her wrist, his tone still cold. "Ava, have some dignity."

Ava staggered, her face suddenly pale!

His tone made it sound like she was a bitter, resentful woman.

"Slap!"

Ava struck William across the face.

"I have no dignity? You're the scumbag cheating during our marriage, and that's dignified?"

William's eyes widened in shock. He never expected her to dare hit him! Raised in luxury, when had anyone ever treated him like this?

Pressing his tongue against his cheek, he grabbed Ava's wrist and pinned her to the bed.

"Ava, have I spoiled you too much?"

His eyes were cold and his presence oppressive, bearing down heavily on her.

Ava was stunned, a flash of fear passing through her heart.

How had she forgotten? He was part of the Wright family, raised in privilege, with an unparalleled status!

He had probably never been treated this way and would undoubtedly be furious.

However, he was also her husband! He was cheating, and yet he had the nerve to act righteous?

Ava tried to ignore her fear, her eyes red but defiant as she looked at him. "As Will, you might have spoiled me, but as William Wright, what have you ever done for me? Don't you find it laughable to say that?" William's blue eyes held a cold fury.

"Ava, I feel bored seeing you now."

He released her, stood up, looked down at her with disdain, and turned to leave.

Ava's chest heaved with anger. Bored?

Ha! Last night, he was entangled with her in this very bed, and today he said he was bored of her?

Was it because he saw that woman?

Resentment grew in her heart. Ava got up and rushed over, hugging him tightly. "William, you can't leave! We aren't divorced yet. You have to stay with me!"

"Stay to watch you go crazy?" William scoffed coldly.

They had been married for half a year, and Ava knew how to provoke him. Her soft hand slipped under his shirt, caressing his defined abs.

William's breath hitched as he grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing?"

Ava stepped closer to him. "Didn't you say you're bored of me? William, your words should match your actions."

Seeing his dark expression, Ava curved her lips into a provocative smile. "What's the matter? Trying to stay pure for that other woman? But we aren't divorced yet. You have obligations to fulfill."

She leaned in closer. "If it's really a problem, I can pay you. After all, your stamina is pretty good. You've always kept me quite satisfied."

What did this damned woman take him for?

Anger flared within him. He grabbed her throat, his voice icy. "Ava, I'll show you the consequences of provoking me!"

He kissed her fiercely, nothing like the tenderness from before.

Ava closed her eyes, her lashes trembling violently as she clung to him.

Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

She did this only to find traces of the man he used to be.

He was William Wright, but he was also her Will!

She indeed learned the consequences, as she only got three hours of sleep that night. In their passion, she clung to him tightly, repeatedly calling his name. "Will, Will, you are mine. I would rather die than divorce you."

The next day.

Ava was late and immediately had her salary docked. The HR department said it was a direct order from William .

Ava gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, "What a petty scumbag!"

All because she slapped him?

He was quick to retaliate!

She had been naive. After the morning meeting, Desmond walked over to her and said, "This report requires an on-site investigation. You go handle it." Ava glanced at the report and saw it was for a construction site!

Her brow furrowed.

Desmond asked, "Do you have any questions about Mr. Wright's arrangement?"

Ava looked at him. "What if I don't want to do it?"

Desmond smiled. "You can't turn this down."

Ava rolled her eyes and took the file straight to William's office. Desmond tried to stop her, but he couldn't.

She pushed the door open and walked right in.

William, tall and imposing, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone. Hearing the door being pushed open, he turned and frowned.

"Let's leave it at that," he said, ending the call.

"Who allowed you to come in?" he asked coldly, his eyes icy.

Ava slammed the file on his desk. "Did you do this on purpose?"

William glanced at the file and replied coolly, "Isn't this part of your job? What's the problem? If you don't want to do it, you can quit. Plenty of people want this job."

Ava fumed silently. This jerk was definitely doing this on purpose! He was retaliating because she had slapped him last night! That was why he pushed her to the limit last night and sent her to a construction site today.

Seeing her angry but unable to retort, William felt pretty good somehow.

"Get out. And next time, remember to knock," he said, turning his attention back to his work.

Ava stared at him, then suddenly leaned forward. She placed her hands on the desk and leaned her upper body close to his. She whispered, "Fine, but next time, you need my permission before putting inside me." She then grabbed the file and left.

William was stunned. What nonsense was she talking about? If she hadn't seduced him last night, he wouldn't have touched her! His briefly improved mood darkened again instantly.

Ava was in charge of the commercial building project, which was currently under construction. She got out of her car and looked at the uneven, muddy road, feeling disheartened.

As she walked forward, she saw an elderly woman sitting on the cement ground not far away, looking lost and helpless.

People passed by her without asking if she needed help, afraid of getting scammed.

Ava examined the woman's clothing, noting that she was well-dressed, even wearing a diamond bracelet on her wrist, which didn't fit the profile of someone trying to scam others. After some thought, the approached and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"

The elderly woman looked at her, and her eyes suddenly brightened. "Granddaughter-in-law! You're my granddaughter-in-law! I'm lost. Granddaughter-in-law, can you take me home?

Ava was stunned. The old woman seemed confused, possibly suffering from dementia.

She quickly bent down and asked, "Madam, do you remember where your home is?"

The elderly woman looked bewildered. "Where is my home? I don't know. Granddaughter-in-law, help me find it. I forgot where I live."

Ava took out her phone, intending to call the police.

Seeing the phone, the elderly woman's eyes lit up. "Phone, phone, my phone is here!"

She pulled out a small bag tied with a string from her neckline. Inside the bag was a phone.

The bag also contained a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Ava saw it and felt relieved.

"Madam, how are you feeling? Can you walk?" Ava asked with concern.

The elderly woman looked upset. "I can't walk. My legs hurt. Granddaughter-in-law, my legs hurt. Can you blow on them for me?"

Ava couldn't help but laugh. "Let's take you to the hospital first."

To be safe, she took out her phone and recorded a video. " Madam, I didn't hit you, right?"

"That's right, my granddaughter-in-law didn't hit me." The elderly woman cooperated, even making a heart gesture at the camera.
