Loving My Enemy's Brother의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

Clara JamesIt was nine in the evening. Time passed quickly.Natalie grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the drinks bar before sitting beside me.“Two whiskies, please.” she said softly to the bartender.He stared at us for a long moment before shrugging in surrender.“And one orange juice, please.” I said before he walked away.He nodded with a smile.“Clara... don’t you drink alcohol?” Natalie exclaimed while looking ahead.“Of course I drink. I have good experience with alcohol.”She looked at me with a smile mixed with pride and mockery.“I knew that from the moment I saw you staring at the champagne bottle.”I looked away from her and watched the girls dancing in front of me.“I drank an entire bottle of wine for the first time when I was twelve.”Natalie gasped in shock. “You’re kidding.”I shook my head. “That was the day my mother died... I didn’t want to believe she was dead. I was alone in the house, so I entered my father’s office and saw the bottle in front of me... and I

Clara JamesThe man moved closer to me...Closer and closer until his body was almost completely pressed against mine.I groaned from the sharp pain as my back slammed into the wall. It felt as though my spine had shattered completely.My breath caught in my throat.His large hand wrapped around my neck, squeezing it with terrifying ease, while his other hand slid to my waist, tightening around it as if he wanted to crush my bones between his fingers.His hot, agitated breaths brushed against my face.His hard body pressed against me so firmly that I felt like I would melt beneath him.Then he moved even closer...So close that our lips touched.My breath trembled inside my chest.My eyelids had become too heavy to open.I was on the verge of losing consciousness at any moment.I placed my trembling hand over the one gripping my neck and whispered words that barely left my mouth."Let go of me, you pervert."For a moment, I kept my eyes closed, then he exhaled sharply near my lips, ma

Clara James"Get in."Adrian ordered me in a domineering tone that made my femininity sink even deeper.When I remained standing for too long, he grabbed my wrist and placed his other hand above my head, then lowered my body slightly so I could get into the car easily.I sat in the front seat.It was unbelievably comfortable.He leaned over and fastened my seatbelt for me, a faint smile forming on his lips that threw my heart into chaos.As soon as he was done, he closed the door behind me and walked to the driver's seat.He buckled his seatbelt and drove off.I leaned back against the seat, my eyes never leaving his aura.One tattooed hand rested beside him, while the other held the steering wheel with an attractive steadiness.His eyes were on the road... but all his attention was on me.And I didn't stop talking excitedly about Gojo, about how much I loved him, and I think I even told him the entire anime story too.Adrian listened to me with strange attentiveness.Was it because h

Clara JamesI woke up at ten in the morning, sleep still clinging to my eyes as if I hadn't slept for days. A whole week had passed since that night... a week of completely avoiding my father. No talking. No looks. Not even sitting in the same place.I was relaxing in the warm bathtub, watching the steam rise around me absentmindedly while memories of what I did with Adrian attacked me without mercy.I remembered everything.Every word... every kiss... every crazy thing I did while drunk.I pretended to have forgotten all week because I was so embarrassed.As for him...He stayed by my side the whole time, taking care of me as if I were something precious he was afraid of breaking. Even that hag Emilia didn't dare say a single word while he was around.My father took my phone away, so I couldn't contact Natalie or Ethan all week. Natalie tried to come more than once, but he stopped her every time.My old maid told me that two girls had been killed inside that club... and of course, th

Clara James"Don't you have a fear of dogs?"Adrian hummed in satisfaction before starting the car. The entire neighborhood seemed to shake under the roar of the black Ferrari's engine as it cut through the streets."I got over that because of your dog."His voice came out low and deep while he drove steadily, his long fingers lightly tapping the steering wheel. I watched him for a moment before answering, studying the sharp line of his jaw and his dark eyes reflecting the lights of the road.I relaxed against the leather seat, breathing slowly as I tried to ignore his effect on me.He let out a quiet sarcastic hum."So you overcame one of your fears because of me... and I'll make you overcome all of them."Damn his tone. Every time he spoke, I felt as if something hot melted inside my stomach.I wet my lips before lifting my chin with fake confidence."Let's be more accurate... because of Bam, not because of you. At least Bam was nice to me, unlike you."A sarcastic laugh escaped him
