Chapitre 59: Chapter 59 -- Tempting

"Prince Edrik, refrain from doing anything indecent again. I have always thought of you as my younger brother. Please, don't make me hate you," I said as I took a few steps back.

"I never asked you to look at me as your brother," Edrik said calmly.

"If you do something strange, I will never forgive you," I warned him again. Edrik got closer to me.

"Lady Alessandra, I do not care if you hate me. As long as I can have you, it doesn't matter if you give your heart to me or not."

Edrik suddenly grabbed my shoulders, pushing me on the bed with force. He got on top of me, pinning my arms to my sides.

"Why did you lie to Lord Cadis that day? Where was your dignity when you accepted that you had spent the night with me?" Edrik asked, staring into my eyes.

"I didn't," I struggled under him. "Get away from me," I yelled.

Edrik was pushing me with his entire weight. I was gasping for air.
