Married to his secret crush-Chapter 439 - Ruthless

Mia tilted her chin. She glanced at the man standing in front of her.

The sky was gradually darkening but under the dim lights of the lamp post, she could see his face. One of his hands was tucked inside his pockets as he looked at her.

She did not know if the lights were playing tricks on her or if he really looked a bit disheveled, unlike his usual proper President self. There were apparent dark circles under his eyes and his hair was in a mess. The top buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned giving her a clear glimpse of his chest.

Mia tried to avert her gaze but her gaze was stubborn, lingering there persistently and indecently taking in the sight until the man moved.

The realization of being caught red-handed dawned on her and Mia immediately straightened up. She laughed awkwardly, ''You want your shirt?"

Han Jian Yu noticed how hoarse her voice was, ''What do you think?" He stepped closer towards her. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Mia's grip on her trolley loosened and she stepped back, ''I think you can have it. Wait here and I will go change into something else,'' she flashed him an 'I got this' smirk as she turned around.

But before she could take another step, her wrist was grabbed and her body twirled. The next thing she knew she was pulled into his arms.

Her heart skipped a beat.

''Where do you think you are going?" one of his hands was wrapped around her waist while the other settled on her bottom.

At the sound of his cold voice, Mia snapped back to her senses. Why was she even running away in the first place? ''I don't want to stay with you anymore. Thanks for taking care of me for the past two months but that should be it. Let's call it off here,'' she raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear only for it to be grabbed by him.

He held her wrist firmly, his thumb stroking circles on her skin, ''Call it off?" he whispered, ''Call what off, Mia?" he repeated looking straight into her hazel eyes, his tone was dangerous.

''Whatever there was between us,'' Mia replied within a beat.

''And why?''

''What why?" she frowned.

''Why are we calling it off?" he moved her hand as he locked both her wrists behind her back holding it with one hand, his other hand tightened around her waist.

''We slept together, it was good and later we went through a few trials, faced the troubles together. Now that everything is over, we can end it here…''

''What if I don't want to?" he interrupted her.

Mia narrowed her eyes, "I want to end it.''

''I don't want to,'' he repeated.

''Will you force me then?" she pursed her lips.

''If the situation calls for it, it doesn't sound like a bad idea,'' the corner of his lips tugged up as he continued, ''Tie you to the bed with ropes restraining both your wrists, we will make it satin ropes lest they hurt your delicate wrists.''

He was obviously talking about some toxic concept like stockholm syndrome, wasn't he? But why the heck her imaginations were running amok? She could almost see herself being tied while he explored her body, his fingers ran on every inch of her skin and his mouth slid down her neck.

Her throat ran dry and she gulped. Mia licked her bottom lips and opened her mouth, ''I-I…'' she tried to find her lost voice, ''This is illegal.''

''You seducing me 24X7 was a legal thing to do, huh?"

Mia was speechless.

But before she could speak, he continued speaking, ''Or was it the way you kept things from me, lied to me, kept me in the dark, left me once, and now you are leaving again after waking up? Trampling on my heart over and over again… is it legal to you? Or is it the fact that at times you claim that you love me but then we go back to people who just slept…your fluctuating emotions… Is it even fair?" there was hurt in his voice and his fingers dug into her waist.

Mia bit her bottom lips and her eyes welled up but she blinked her tears away, ''Mistakes happen. I thought I was dying so seeing you standing in front of me, I felt like I love you. But now I am alive and everything that I felt at that time seems to be an illusion.''

''You are ruthless,'' he loosened his grip on her before he stepped back from her.

''Am I?" Mia glanced at him, her lips tugged up in a mocking smile, ''At least I didn't go around sleeping with random men. What are you calling me ruthless for?" she grabbed her luggage when she saw the cab approaching the gates.

Han Jian Yu was stunned. He stood rooted to his spot, unable to comprehend what she just said. Sleeping with random men? The thought of it made him grit his teeth. As if he would not castrate them!

When he saw her moving past him, his hand moved on instinct and he grabbed her wrist once again, ''What do you mean by sleeping with men?"

Mia glanced at her trolley which landed on the ground with a 'thud'.

She glared at Han Jian Yu, ''I don't mean anything. You can live the life you want, I will live the life I like. We go in our separate ways and…''

''Mia, don't make me repeat myself,'' he cupped her face.

Mia narrowed her eyes, ''I will exactly do that. What will you do?" f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

''I will bite you,'' he squished her cheeks.

She stomped on his feet, ''You are crazy.''

''Less than you,'' Han Jian Yu did not budge despite her stomp, ''What do you mean by that, Mia?"

''The hell do I mean by that,'' Mia snapped at him, unable to hold it any longer, ''That day when I was calling you from the hospital, you were with a woman who was moaning behind you and I heard it.. Now, let go of me,'' her eyes welled up tears and she tried to blink them away.
