Bound by Lust: Stolen Before Her Vows

Cecilia bit her lip and averted her gaze. She feigned calmness as she replied, "It's been three years. If I hadn't figured a way to remove it, I'd be suffering greatly by now."Bennett scoffed. An evil smile hung on his lips as he pressed his leg against her. Cecilia couldn't help but moan."Then you became someone else's lover? Layla, you know how much I hate it when others touch my belongings." His deep voice was fueled with rage. He held her chin in an iron grasp. The viciousness in his eyes was so terrifying that Cecilia froze.Getting up, he pulled out a chastity belt from nowhere. Cecilia gulped as she stared at it, trying her best to cower away from him. That belt seemed to be of higher quality than the one she had three years ago.She thought she was losing it. If Bennett had his way, she wouldn't be able to hide their relationship.With the belt hanging off his index finger, he slowly moved closer to her. "This is my gift to you. It's a new style; I specifically ordered i

"Henry, the door's stuck. Go on ahead. I'll come after touching up my makeup."Henry was about to say something when he heard someone call him. He couldn't ignore that. So, he said, "Okay. I'll be waiting.""Alright," Cecilia immediately replied. Her tense body relaxed instantly.With his arms folded across his chest, Bennett studied her. When she spoke to Henry, her tone was demure and innocent. Pretentious, even, just like a naive bunny."Layla, is that an act you put up before Henry? Are you pretending to be innocent?" As he spoke, he untied her."Bennett, take that thing out of my body!""No way. Without me, you won't be able to remove it this time."Cecilia tried to take it off. However, the belt fit her body well. It was impossible to remove it.They glared at each other, and the tension in the room rose. Cecilia knew Bennett always meant what he said. This time, he was surely going to gain the upper hand over her. She couldn't imagine the consequences if Henry discovered

Upon regaining consciousness, Cecilia realized she was in a dark private room. The interior decor of the room was unique. It was different from the style people from Jacksonburg preferred.She thought the decor style was more to the taste of Samuel Lance's lackeys from Bryndale.Wine bottles were scattered on the table. A few of them still had some wine in them. The wine glimmered slightly.Feeling uneasy, Cecilia budged slightly. Suddenly, the lights turned on. However, it wasn't very bright.A woman with sunshades on was sitting on the bench near her. Behind her were several muscular men. When she waved, one of them stepped forward and grabbed Cecilia by the face. He then grabbed a bottle of wine and forced her to drink it.As the pungent taste of alcohol filled her senses, her face contorted. Her eyes reddened, while her insides felt like they were on fire."Who are you?" she asked.The woman remained silent. She merely rose to her feet and signaled to the men, who surrounded

Even if Cecilia wasn't the one behind the deed three years ago, she was somehow related to it. She couldn't tell Bennett who the real mastermind was too.She closed her eyes, seemingly fearless and resigned to the fate that would befall her.Bennett hated it when she behaved that way, as though her life didn't matter. He lifted her up."You want me to take your life to avenge Avery? It's not that simple. So, you're not coming back to me, huh? Then you'd better wish you could survive to enjoy this wonderful life Henry gave you."His gaze was sharp like a dagger, and it tore her heart into shreds.Cecilia remained curled up on the floor even though he was long gone. The pain in her heart left her gasping for air. When she returned to her senses and left the room, she realized she had been taken to the topmost floor of Enchanted.Why was she at Enchanted?Her thoughts were jumbled. Three years ago, Enchanted was already a popular club in Jacksonburg when she visited. Bennett was al

"Are you from Bryndale, Ms. Ford?"Everyone knew Bennett was previously active in Bryndale, so they thought that it must be where he'd gotten to know Skylar, who appeared out of nowhere."We knew each other when we were studying abroad. It was love at first sight," Skylar said with her head held high. Confidence shone on her pretty face.That was something Cecilia lacked.Bennett looked down to continue the game. A faint smile hung on his lips.Skylar pulled a stool over and sat beside him. She now sat between Bennett and Henry, while Cecilia sat on the other side of Henry."Not jealous, are you?" Skylar raised an eyebrow at Cecilia."Of course not," Cecilia replied smilingly.Many others joined and left the card game. Feeling a little tired, Cecilia gave Henry a heads-up before taking a nap on the couch."Don't move."As she slipped in and out of consciousness, she felt someone kicking her. She opened her eyes to a dashing face right in front of her eyes.With their noses a
