Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Evelyn Grant, You Should Have Been Mine Long Ago

The despair Evelyn Grant felt in that moment was as profound as the day Julian Sterling had arrested her.

After all, they were the only two people in the entire Sterling Estate.

Let alone the fact that she was drugged; even if she wasn’t, she was no match for a man of Julian Sterling’s size. Wasn’t she just a lamb to the slaughter?

"Don’t touch me! Don’t you touch me!"

"Evelyn Grant, you’ve made enough of a scene! I’m running out of patience."

He used some force, gripping Evelyn Grant’s chin, and tilted his head to kiss her—

Evelyn Grant frantically dodged, but his lips only found her forehead!

This sent Julian’s fury to its absolute peak.

"I’ve already told you, I’m the only one who can be the antidote for this drug. Otherwise, you’ll die as your body temperature continues to rise!"

"I don’t need you. What you’re doing... this is illegal..."

"Whether you want it or not, you’re getting it! I told you, you’ve ruined my life! I’ve lost Jane, and because of our divorce, my parents won’t stop chewing me out! My life is a mess, so what gives you the right to run off and be happy with some other man?!"

’If he was going to hell, he was dragging her with him!’

Cutting off any chance of escape, Julian swept her up into his arms and headed for his bedroom in the Sterling Estate.

Step by step...

No matter how much Evelyn Grant bit and thrashed against him, he didn’t falter.

Soon, she was thrown onto the large bed in the room.

A wave of dizziness left Evelyn Grant momentarily paralyzed.

By the time her senses returned, all she could hear was the door shutting and the click of the lock turning...

Julian Sterling sneered and began to unbutton his shirt.

"Go on, run. Let’s see you run now!"

"..."

"You kicked me out. Refused to remarry me, hmm?"

His shirt came off, revealing the fresh bite mark Evelyn Grant had just left on his shoulder.

But Evelyn Grant was in no state to notice.

The burning heat coursing through her body was already causing phantom pains to erupt.

"It’s so hot... I feel awful..."

A sense of suffocation and burning washed over her, and it felt as if countless ants were crawling over her body, gnawing at her skin.

"If it’s that bad, then you’d better behave."

Evelyn Grant barely registered the words before she felt a pair of large, cool, dry hands on her.

"Take it off yourself."

She shook her head.

Julian Sterling had no more patience to waste.

He simply grabbed Evelyn Grant’s clothes and tore them.

A man’s strength is immense, after all. The sound of fabric ripping echoed through the bedroom...

Such a sharp, clear sound.

She instantly felt a chill on her skin.

Evelyn Grant tried to struggle again, but this time, Julian pulled off his tie, bound her hands with it, and tied them securely to the headboard.

"Don’t come any closer... I don’t want this..."

But her words were useless.

She could hear Julian approaching, just a few feet away. Evelyn Grant knew with horrifying certainty that there was no escape for her today.

A single tear slid from the corner of her eye, dampening the bedsheets...

Julian’s hand was already on her chest.

"Don’t... We’re divorced... Don’t touch me..."

"Please don’t... I’m begging you..."

This was the second time she had begged Julian.

But still, he wouldn’t relent.

"Evelyn Grant, you should have been mine from the start! Your first time should have been mine!"

Crying, she could only shake her head. "I’m not..."

Julian Sterling snorted coldly and lunged down to kiss her fiercely.

The next second—

Suddenly, frantic pounding erupted from outside the bedroom door!
