61Chapter 61With tight fingers like iron claws, Chloe. gripped Sophie’s arm and began dragging her toward the exit while Damon followed suite from behind."Let go of me! You're hurting me!" Sophie cried, struggling against the tight hold."Stop, stop! Let her go!" Damon yelled, rushing forward. He reached out to pull Sophie back, but Chloe fiercely swatted his hand away.A glare was thrown down to him making enough to make him swallow down hard."Stay back, Damon! I will not have some undisciplined, lower class brat trespassing in my home, let alone associating with you.I'm doing this for you. For your future and your safety" she hissed, her voice dripping with venom as she faked a smile."You don't care about me so stop lying.You're no one to tell me what's best for me!" He yelled still trying to pill Sophie's hand loose."Close it! You know nothing you little ingrate. This is for your own good now move aside!"She uttered pushing him away for Damon to land his but to the ground.

63Chapter 63For a long, breathless moment, time seemed to freeze inside the dimly lit bedroom.William froze against me, his body rigid with shock before the tension melted away. His hands shifted from my waist to the back of my head, pulling me closer as he deepened the kiss with a desperate, lingering tenderness as if trying to hold on to the reality of this moment before it could slip through his fingers.When we finally pulled back, both of us breathing heavily, his eyes were searching mine, raw with an emotion so intense it was almost overwhelming."Clarissa..." he breathed, his voice thick and barely above a whisper. "Tell me this isn't a dream""It's real, William" I murmured, resting my forehead against his chest, hearing the rapid thud of his heart. "You’ve stood by me when my world was tearing apart. I don't run from the people who hold me up. I won't run away from you"He wrapped his arms tightly around me, resting his chin on my head. He didn't say another word, but the

65"What? How could you say this to me?!" William barked.I had only summoned the courage to inform him of my trip with Lucian this morning and apparently, he isn't taking it well.Who would?"I know it's annoying but...""Reject it. You aren't going anywhere" he flared with evident frowns up his head."I tried to but I can't. You know how Lucian is""Seriously? Leave or something. I don't like the idea of spending a week alone with him. Who knows what will happen? Who knows what he'll do?""Hey, trust me. Nothing will happen. He'll do nothing okay? Just trust me" My stare was intently fixated on him. Perhaps it was something in my words or the way I said it but he seemed to have calmed down.Just then, a knock on the door was heard and going to open it, a chauffeur was at the door."Ma'am Clarissa?" He asked."This is she?""Mr Lucian awaits. He asked me to pick you up" "Oh..." I uttered turning to look at William."I'll be back as soon as possible. Please take care of little Sop

67That night I was restless as hell as I could not get a wink of sleep probably from the fact that I was sharing a room Lucian Sharing a room or perhaps it was because of the continuous tapping on the keyboard from Lucian that kept me awake.In no time, morning came.A yawn slipped through my lips and blinking my eyes open, I was met with Lucian's absence.I had thought he'd return any moment soon prompting me to take an early bath.Soon, I was fully dressed. A knock on the door drew my attention.Walking towards it, I opened it to see the staff on the other end."Room service" he uttered directing his gaze to the cart that had various delicacies on it."Oh..." Bringing it into the room, he dished it out and before he could leave, he added."A certain Mr Lucian is waiting for you down at the lobby. He awaits your presence" he relayed before leaving the room.Rolling my eyes, I sat down wanting to devour the meal before me but for some reason I seemed to have lost my appetite.Taking

69Immediately, I pushed him off me, my palms meeting his cheeks once more and just like before,, he crossed the distance pulling me closer to him.Against my struggles, he smashed his lips on mine.This time it wasn't gentle.It was rather possessive as his tongue slithered into my mouth.He wasn't kidding.Why couldn't he just let me have my way?Just once let me do what I want.Just then, for once in a long time, I didn't struggle, my hands on his chest ceased to push him away.I simply let him kiss me.It was wrong but I did it anyway.And Lucian seeing the lack of resistance, tilted his head even further as he rose his hands to my chin.But suddenly, I pushed him aside to vomit the alcohol.It took a few minutes before I was done and with Lucian standing there, a wave of embarrassment washed over me.I wasn't feeling to well. Beneath me, my feets threatened to give out and before I could fully stand, my world blurred and I passed out.***Voices sounded in the room. Inaudible. Di
