Chapter 201
The observation elevator offered a panoramic view of the glittering city at night.
Skyscrapers shone with countless lights.
Neon signs reflected against the dark sky.
Anna Ross stared silently out the window.
A wave of emotion washed over her.
The world of the wealthy was truly different.
She hesitated outside the Presidential Suite.
Her feet refused to move.
A deep sense of shame welled up inside her.
"What are you standing there for?" Adrian Sinclair turned to look at her.
His heavy gaze settled on her.
Anna took a deep breath.
She pushed the door open and entered the room.
The moment the door closed.
He grabbed her hand.
She gasped softly.
He pulled her toward the sofa.
Adrian pushed her down into the cushions.
He leaned over her, his presence overwhelming.
His eyes were cold.
"Anna Ross."
"You have so many men around you."
"One after another."
"What are you trying to do?"
His oppressive aura felt suffocating.
As if he wanted to devour her whole.
Anna shook her head in panic.
"You've got it wrong."
"It's not like that."
He lost his patience.
He pinned her shoulders down.
With his other hand, he loosened his tie.
He kissed her fiercely.
Anna closed her eyes.
Her hands clenched into tight fists.
She did not resist.
Adrian kissed her with brutal force.
It felt more like a punishment.
His sharp nose bumped against hers.
He stole the breath from her lungs.
Her entire world was filled with his scent.
Anna gradually went limp.
Sinking deep into the soft sofa.
Adrian refused to let her go.
He tangled his fingers in her hair.
Cradling her dizzy head.
Forcing her to endure the kiss.
It was like being caught in a storm.
She was powerless against it.
Her lips grew numb.
As if they no longer belonged to her.
"Mmm..." She pushed weakly against him.
Struggling to breathe.
The man showed no intention of stopping.
He bit her lower lip.
Anna's mind grew foggy.
Her eyelids fluttered.
Oxygen grew scarce.
She felt herself suffocating.
What an embarrassing way to die...
Adrian finally released her.
She gasped for air immediately.
Her consciousness slowly returned.
Before she could recover.
Adrian gripped her wrist.
"I'll ask one more time."
"Who was that man?"
His tone brooked no argument.
Anger burned in his eyes.
Anna's heart ached.
He had no trust in her at all.
She gritted her teeth.
Answering calmly.
"I've already explained."
"That's the truth."
Adrian stared deep into her eyes.
As if trying to see through her soul.
He let out a cold snort.
"If it was just a normal relationship."
"Why did he take the hit for you?"
Anna whirled around.
Just as she suspected.
He had been watching the whole time.
But she had done nothing wrong.
Whether he believed her or not was up to him.
"If you don't believe me, fine."
"I have nothing more to say."
She held his gaze steadily.
Adrian's brow furrowed deeply.
His grip tightened.
His thin lips pressed into a hard line.
Displeasure radiated from him.
She wouldn't even bother to explain now?
How dare she be so defiant.
