Editor: Henyee Translations
Jones' residence.
In the bathroom, the sound of running water echoed, surrounded by warm white light, white steam filled the air, enveloping a beautiful silhouette.
"Click—"
The unlocked bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, startling Elly Campbell who was in the shower.
She quickly grabbed a nearby towel, wrapped herself in it, and turned off the hot water. As the steam slowly cleared, the handsome man at the door came into view.
But on that face, a coldness was gathered, and those eyes that resembled frozen ice were resting on her at this moment.
"Adam... Adam?"
Seeing the man before her, Elly couldn't hide her surprise. Obviously, she had not expected him to return at this time.
Adam Jones closed the door and strode toward her, his expression icy. His usually reserved eyes now held a bone-chilling aura as he approached Elly.
"Adam..."
Just as she was about to speak, Adam suddenly yanked her forward, slamming her against the washstand. Her waist struck the marble countertop, making her wince in pain.
Adam ruthlessly yanked away her towel. She snapped her gaze to him, her hands instinctively shielding herself. "Adam, what are you doing?"
"What do you think I am doing?"
His sharp, thin lips curled into a cruel, bloodthirsty smile.With deliberate ease, his well-defined fingers unfastened his shirt, the buttons hitting the floor with crisp, echoing clinks that sent a shiver through Elly. His gaze was dark and terrifying—she had never seen him this ferocious before.
"Adam, let me go!"
Adam's grip tightened around her wrist, immobilizing her and sending a sharp pain through her arm. Elly's brow furrowed even deeper.
"What? Putting on an act again now that you come to my front?"
Putting on an act?
Elly's heart was deeply wounded by this word spoken by Adam.
Three years, three years of marriage, was everything she ever did in Adam's eyes just an act?
"You have made too many complaints to grandma so frequently, tonight I will make your wish come true. After tonight, shut your mouth and behave!"
Elly had no idea what she did tonight to anger Adam, but every word he spoke was like countless knives plunging deep into her heart.
He struggled desperately to break free from Adam, but he was like an enraged beast, intent on devouring her. No matter how hard she fought, she was powerless against him.
Whether it was at this moment only, or her years of feelings towards this man.
A bitter smile tugged at her lips as she stopped struggling.
Sensing her sudden compliance, Adam's movements faltered slightly in his fury, his gaze shifting to Elly.
The bitterness in her eyes struck a deep, hidden part of his heart—one he never wanted to be touched. His brows instantly knit together.
Yet the memory of what she had done to him reignited his suppressed rage, surging back with full force.
