Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 718

Jimmy threw his toothbrush in front of her, huffing indignantly. "You want to tell me, or I investigate who he is myself?"

There was still a chance to patch things up if she came clean right now, but if he found out which b*stard she lived with, it might not end well.

Ariah looked at him with a blank expression. "Is it that important?"

"You don't want to tell me?" Jimmy sneered.

In fact, he wouldn't listen to her at all. All he wanted to hear was her answer and would ignore everything else.

Ariah didn't feel like talking to him as she found that they couldn't have a calm conversation, and she was reluctant to argue with him.

Withdrawing her gaze, she turned around and walked back to the bedroom, leaving him in a hysterical state.

Suddenly, her phone, which happened to be beside Jimmy, rang. He turned and saw that it was a call from Felipe.

Frowning, Ariah wanted to take the phone. "Give it to me...”

Jimmy dodged her hand easily and answered the phone with a flat tone, "For Ricco's sake, I won't do anything to you. You have one day to leave the city. If I know you're still here tomorrow morning, I'll come after you! Even Ricco can't stop me!"

After that, Jimmy threw the phone heavily and coldly asked, "Did Felipe move in to live with you?"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the broken phone and cried out loudly, "Jimmy, are you crazy?"

"Crazy?" Ariah stepped back as Jimmy removed his shirt and approached her; the coldness in his smile scared her.

She turned and ran.

Suddenly, she felt a tight grip on her waist as Jimmy pulled her back forcefully, and she fell into his arms. His low, hoarse, and dangerous voice echoed in her ear, "Baby, I'll show you what crazy really looks like!"

"Ah..."

Ariah screamed in horror as Jimmy lifted her up.

She punched him hard, yet Jimmy threw her to the bed as if he didn't feel the pain. He took off his clothes and jumped at her like a beast.

Frantically, Ariah kicked him with both legs, but Jimmy grabbed her ankle swiftly and pulled her into his embrace with ease.

"Where do you think you're going?" He stared at her with his dark eyes.

Ariah gasped violently and tried to reason with him, "Jimmy, calm down. Yes, Those things belong to Felipe, and it's true that he lives here, but nothing happened between us..."

Jimmy did not believe her. "You lie to me to protect him?"

"I'm not!"

Jimmy pinched her chin and kissed her. Reluctant to succumb to his advance, Ariah bit his lip so hard that blood oozed from the open wound in his lip.

Soon, the bedroom was filled with heavy breathing, and the rustic smell of fresh blood seemed to have stimulated Jimmy further.

Sticking out his tongue, he licked off the bloodstains on his lips, his gaze getting more dangerous.

His flirtatious and rough look scared Ariah. Anxiously, she punched him and growled, "Go away!"

It was at this very moment that the disparity in power between men and women was on full display.

Jimmy held her waving arms easily with one hand and tore off her clothes with the other.

No longer able to control her emotions, Ariah screamed and cried hysterically.

Her cry was loud and thundering as if she was a child who had been bullied.

Jimmy gradually slowed down.

Kicking him away, Ariah hugged herself as she continued to wail loudly.

The flames in Jimmy's eyes slowly extinguished. Looking at the petite woman crying, her face drenching with her tears, only then did he realize what he had almost done!

He almost raped her!

Usually, he wouldn't want her to feel the slightest discomfort when they were making love, but now, he was so overwhelmed with rage that he almost forced himself on her.

Blood drained from Jimmy's face. He stretched out his trembling hand to wipe Ariah's tears, but she shuddered as he approached her. Annoyed, Jimmy pounded the wall hard, and blood flowed out of

his fist.

"Don't cry."

He gritted his teeth and held her in his arms. Holding her tight no matter how hard she pushed him, he kissed her tears and comforted her, "Baby, I'm sorry. Don't cry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't behave like that. Don't cry. My heart hurts to see you cry. I swear I'll never do that to you again. Oh, please don't cry."

Failing to push him away, Ariah bit down hard, agitated.

As if he couldn't feel any pain, Jimmy remained unmoved and allowed her to bite him.

Soon, the taste of blood filled Ariah's mouth. Trembling, she slowly loosened her bite, revealing a deep bite mark on Jimmy's shoulder.

At the same time, she noticed that there were many scars on his body.

She never saw any of these scars before.

A white gauze was wrapped around his abdomen, and she could faintly see some scarlet stains on it...

Ariah was stunned.

Jimmy grew even more anxious seeing how quiet and still she was, so he apologized profusely as he buried his face on her neck, his stubble making her very uncomfortable.

She pushed him away and wanted to get out of bed.

"Don't move!"

Flustered, Jimmy pulled her back onto the bed, grabbed the handcuff from the drawer of the bedside table, and cuffed her on the bed while tossing the key aside.

In disbelief, Ariah stared at the handcuffs on her wrist.

Jimmy then kissed her on the cheek. "Baby, I'm sorry. I have to. Let's sleep."

With that, he pulled her into his embrace, pulled the quilt over them, and fell asleep.

He knew that she would definitely leave after he fell asleep, so this was the only way to keep her here.

Astounded for a while, Ariah blinked and shouted, "Jimmy Hudson!"

However, Jimmy slept like a log and wouldn't budge no matter how she screamed or pushed him.

Ariah stared angrily at him who was sleeping soundly.

He looked so thin and frail now. His naked body was not as masculine and sturdy as before. His collarbone was protruding, and his jawline looked more prominent now.

And the stubble! He looked like he hadn't shaved for a month!

The smell exhumed from his body was beyond imagination.

By the way, it was incredible how fast he slept.

When was the last time he fell asleep?

Lying in bed, Ariah shook her head abruptly as her mind started to drift off again. She couldn't care less about what he had been through.

Ariah tried to move her arms and look at the key in the corner of the room, cursing silently.

Buzz.

When Ariah heard the sound of a phone vibrating, she was overjoyed and realized that the sound came from Jimmy's pants.

Stealthily, she took out his phone from his pocket, but when she saw the caller ID on the phone, the expression on her face quickly faded.
