Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 538

For a long time, Ariah was too embarrassed to turn around to look at Kobi, afraid that he would look sad upon finding out the truth.

But they couldn't just stay silent like this. Thinking about that, she cleared her throat and asked, "Kobi?"

Kobi sat in the driver's seat, lowering his head. Ariah couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could tell that the atmosphere around them was cold.

His fingers were clenching tight on the steering wheel.

Ariah held her breath. "K-Kobi?"

She was a little scared by his appearance now.

Eventually, Kobi asked, "Did you mistake me for Jimmy from the beginning?"

Those words and affection she expressed back then... were they meant for Jimmy?

Suddenly, Kobi felt everything was a joke.

Seeing that, Ariah pursed her lips and apologized, "I'm sorry..."

However, it was too late already.

"I can understand if you hate me now."

Kobi, on the other hand, just demanded faintly, "Get off."

"What?"

"I told you to get off." Kobi looked up and Ariah was shocked. "Your eyes..."

She was a little worried about him because his eyes were bloodshot, and there was clearly anger in them. "Are you alright?"

"I'm alright. I'll go to the hospital later. Now, get off. We've arrived."

Seeing that, Ariah could only open the door and get off the car.

As soon as she closed the door, the car was driven off with a vroom.

Ariah stood where she was for a while before she left with a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, Kobi stopped the car after driving out some distance. He had always been a gentleman in the eyes of others. But now, he just felt inexplicably restless.

Pushing open the car door, he got out of the car and called Emily, telling her to come to the hotel. "I wanna see you. Come here immediately."

Emily was shocked by the pressing tone of his words. "Kobi, is there something wrong?"

"Have you got the hotel's name?" "Yeah."

"Be here in twenty minutes." After saying that, Kobi hung up the phone coldly.

Then, a 'beep' sound came through the line.

Worried that something would happen to Kobi, Emily got ready immediately. Seeing that she was about to leave, the helper, Hazel, hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, Miss Emily?"

Emily thought for a while and replied, "Kobi called me and said that he wanted to take me around his hometown."

She thought that since she wasn't sure what had happened to Kobi, she could only use this as an excuse to go out for now.

Meanwhile, Hazel was happy to hear that and said, "Great, have fun with him."

Emily nodded and went out to take a cab to the hotel that Kobi had mentioned. Arriving at his room, just as she rang the doorbell, the door was opened. There was no light in the room and Kobi's features were hidden in the dark as he stared at her silently.

He was like a predator.

"Kobi..." "Ah-"

As soon as Emily called out his name, Kobi quickly pulled her in.

He was being a little forceful, thus hurting Emily a little, and she cried out, "Kobi, what are you doing?"

With a 'bang', the door was slammed shut and he pinned her to the door. Before she could react, Kobi kissed her forcefully, swallowing her scream.

Emily was dumbfounded for a moment and then she started to resist, but Kobi's strength was too great. She couldn't free herself at all.

It wasn't really a kiss though. Kobi was more like biting her lips with anger, and there was no affection in it at all.

Only then did she realize that there was something wrong with him. Eventually, panting, she managed to push him away and asked, "K- Kobi, what's wrong with you?"

He didn't say a word. This time, he pushed her to the bed and lifted her dress, then tore off her stockings.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

Being pressed down by him, she couldn't move at all.

Meanwhile, Kobi unzipped his pants and rammed his way into her, without even taking off his pants.

"Kobi...

Emily was a little painful.

Just then, Kobi's hoarse voice was heard mumbling, "I'm just a substitute, huh?"

"What are you talking about..."

"He's better than me?" Kobi sank deeper into her and moved more vigorously. "Tsk, how could he be better than me?"

"What?"

Eventually, Kobi stopped talking. He bent down and bit her shoulder, to which Emily screamed. Kobi then planted kisses on her again, as he whispered, "Good girl, don't move. I'll prove it to you I'm better than him..."

"Ariah, don't move..."

Emily thought she had misheard. "Did you just call someone else?"

However, Kobi didn't reply. He just kept on drawing deeper into her.

After a long period of torture, he finally climaxed, leaving Emily to lie weak on the bed.

Kobi had never treated her like this. He had always been gentle and polite to her. Yet, just now, he had treated her very rudely...

He seemed to have become another person, which frightened her a little.

Thinking about that, Emily looked at the man sitting on the couch. His shirt was unbuttoned, giving him a messy yet sexy vibe. Ignoring the uncomfortable feeling, she slowly went to sit beside him. Emily hesitated and wanted to ask him something, but Kobi suddenly broke into a smile and pulled her into his arms. "Did I hurt you just now?"

"Yeah..."

"I'm sorry." Kobi caressed her face, being gentle again. "I will be more gentle next time."

Just as Emily wanted to ask him if he was venting anger on her earlier, Kobi pressed her down on the sofa and kissed her again, interrupting her train of thought.

Before Jimmy left, he called Ariah. In the afternoon, he had texted her to ask what she wanted to eat, but she didn't reply.

Now, calling her, she didn't answer the phone either.

What the hell was going on?

With a snort, he threw his phone aside and did some takeaway on the way to Ariah's apartment.

Arriving at her place, Jimmy pressed the doorbell for nearly a minute, but Ariah did not come to answer the door.

Jimmy frowned and was a little panicked. Did something occur to Ariah? She didn't answer his call nor did she open the door now. Just as he was thinking about the possibility of kicking open the door, it suddenly opened.

Furious, he questioned, "Ariah, why didn't you pick up my call... Ariah?"

Suddenly, Ariah collapsed toward him. He was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he quickly caught her.
