Chapter 57 The Standard Rules
Stunned, Erin quickly smelled her dress. Other than cigarette smoke, there was the scent of lan’s cologne. She gave Chandler a look and explained. “I went to look for my friend at a nightclub and bumped into my ex–husband.”
She couldn’t see Chandler’s face as he stood in the shadow, but she felt his anger. Worrying that he didn’t believe her, Erin added, “I’ll never marry him again! Since I’ve promised to become your lover for three months, I won’t look for other men within the period. Can you not suspect me so easily?”
Sensing indignation in her tone, Chandler narrowed his eyes and said coldly. “I’m not suspecting you, so don’t be so nervous. I
know you don’t dare to betray me because you can’t afford to bear the consequences.”
Chandler strolled to the door and said, twisting the doorknob, “Come to my room after you take your shower.”
After he left, Erin weakly caught her breath. She thought he was going to choke her again. She lay on the floor for a while, then got up and showered.
Half an hour later, she walked into Chandler’s bedroom.
The room was dimly lit, and the purplish light made the bedroom look sensual, if not for Chandler. With his arms folded behind his head, the man stared as she obediently came closer..
Seeing Erin in a conservative nightgown, Chandler frowned. “I forbid you to wear any clothes to bed from now on. Do you understand?”
Erin scolded inwardly, “Stupid psychopath! Do you think everyone is a flasher like you?”
“Say it to my face if you dare,” he sneered coldly.
Erin guiltily averted her gaze. Seeing her standing where she was, he quirked his eyebrow and said, “How long are you going to stand there?”
Hearing the anger in his voice. Erin went over. She quickly got under the covers as the air conditioning was always set to a freezing temperature. She couldn’t stand the cold, unlike Chandler, who was stark naked.
Chandler turned to his side and held her to his chest. Feeling that he had nothing on. Erin blushed slightly.
Holding her chin, he narrowed his eyes as he gazed at her and said as if making a promise, “Erin, I told you to be my woman for three months, and I would leave you alone when it’s time. Until then, as long as you obey me, I promise I won’t cause your family any trouble.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
She asked. “Obey you?”
He sneered, “In other words, you must never defy me.”
Erin pouted. “So what if you ask me to kill myself? Am I supposed to do it as well?”
“Don’t be an idiot.”
Seeing that he didn’t even bother to explain, she realized she shouldn’t have said that.
Chandler then said patiently. “There are standard rules you must obey: first, when you’re with me, you’re not allowed to have ambiguous relationships with other men. Second, whenever I want to have sex, you must yield unconditionally. Third, you must not be involved in anything that displeases me.”
“They are indeed the type of rules reserved only for a secret lover. How demeaning!” she thought. She didn’t want to accept any of these three rules, but she had no choice.
Her silence pleased him. He knew it was not her place to negotiate with him. “In this world, whoever stands at the top of the food chain is the master, and whoever knows his opponent’s weakness would have the upper hand.” he thought. Seeing the
woman yielding to him, Chandler felt like a hunter who had caught his prey.
A few minutes later, he murmured. “Relax. I want you to learn to enjoy this…”
Seeing her look more and more bewitching. Chandler gradually felt uneasy. He thought of her letting out such an expression in another man’s arms and was racked by jealousy. He suddenly choked her neck and asked. “Say it. Who am I?”
Erin could hardly breathe. Her eyes were glazed over and unfocused, while her voice was tinged with disgust and submissiveness. “Chandler…”
When she mentioned her name, Chandler immediately let go of her neck and lowered his head to kiss her.
The night was still young, and he had only just begun…
Three hours later, Chandler had to stop because Erin couldn’t take it anymore and had fallen asleep. After tucking her in, he raised the temperature of the air–conditioning and went to take a shower. He then went to the study to make a call.
An hour later, Alan came to the villa carrying a medical kit. Chandler told him what he wanted him to do, and Alan nodded before following him into the bedroom.
Seeing Erin’s fair arms exposed, Chandler spun around and pushed him outside.
When they were back inside the room. Alan asked. “What’s the matter? You’ve changed your mind?”
Chandler frowned. “Do you have any female assistant who can help you give the injection?”
Confused, Alan thought about it and said, “Yes, but she’s working at the hospital now, and it would take her more than an hour to rush over here.”
As Chandler fell silent. Alan suddenly realized something and said in astonishment, “Chandler, something is very wrong with you!”
“Me?”
Alan shook his head and asked. “Did you ask me to leave the room because you worried I would see her naked? Please. She’s under the covers. What could I see? You’re being too careful. You might as well ask a blind man to do it!” Alan still looked stunned.
Chandler awkwardly turned away and said coldly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Alan didn’t bother to argue with him and sighed. “Then do you want me to give my assistant a call? Actually, it’s just a sedative. Why don’t you do it yourself? You studied at the medical school for two years, so you should be able to give her the injection.”
Chandler turned around to look at him and said, “Okay, prepare the sedative then.”
Twenty minutes later, Chandler walked Alan out of the villa.
Before getting into the car, Alan suddenly said, “Chandler, if you truly like Erin, treat her well. One of my cousins used to be Erin’s classmate back in college, and he said she’s a good girl.·•*
Chandler stiffened his face and said, “Alan, she’s not your younger sister, so stay out of this.”
