My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 430

He seemed to want me to beg him, so his movements became increasingly intense.

"When you stood in front of the car without hesitation, you were being completely sincere, right?" As he kissed me, he seemed a little short of breath.

Our fingers were intertwined so tightly it made me feel a little uncomfortable. "With Irvin, do you feel guilt, or do you love him? Do you feel the same way towards him as you do towards me? Hmm?" The expression on his face held a little warmth, and he slightly narrowed his eyes as he waited for my answer.

I pursed my lips and didn't want to answer him. I couldn't tell love and guilt apart anymore as I myself was confused most of the time.

We remained quiet. The longer the silence lasted, the colder the air became. The anger on his face became even harder to read.

After a long pause, he retracted his gaze and closed his pitch-black eyes slightly. His voice was deep and magnetic as he spoke. "Arianna, how long has it been since we last did it?"

I frowned subconsciously and opened my mouth, "Hendrix, I don't want to do it!"

My mind was filled with images of Irvin lying in a pool of blood, and my heart ached. I raised an agitated hand to push him away, "Hendrix, I told you I don't want to! Didn't you hear me?"

He frowned, and his handsome face fell dark. He raised his hand to pull off the bathrobe on his body, and swallowed up all my resistance in one swift motion.

When I felt him pulling at my clothes, I subconsciously moved back to avoid him.

With a loud thud, I bumped into the headboard because I wasn't paying attention, and felt a dull pain in the back of my head.

I was so angry that I kicked him off the bed without thinking. He was caught off guard and tumbled off the bed. However, the carpet underneath cushioned his fall, so he was fine.

He sat up and looked at me with both anger and mirth. He suddenly lost interest and looked at me and said, "Arianna, so you've finally grown a spine!"

I massaged my head and ignored his comment. Then, I glared at him and said, "Hendrix, if you touch me again, I'll be doing more than just kicking you out of bed."

After that, I pulled the blanket over me and wrapped myself in it tightly. Then, I closed my eyes and told myself to go to sleep.

I didn't expect that Hendrix would still be looking at me displeased. After what felt like a long while, he finally walked over to the bathroom sullenly.

After everything that happened, my head hurt so much that I couldn't fall asleep at all.

Hence, I scrolled through the contacts on my phone and gave Aaron a call.

However, a woman answered the phone. Although the voice sounded familiar, I couldn't place a finger on who it was for a moment.

I simply said, "Sorry to trouble you. I'm looking for Aaron!"

The woman hummed in acknowledgement and said calmly, "He's taking a shower, but he'll be done in about five minutes. If you don't mind, I could help pass on your message. If not, you can call again in five minutes."

I paused and said, "Please help me tell him to keep an eye out for Irvin's funeral. Also, ask him to make sure to keep Nerissa under surveillance. Thank you!"

"You're welcome, Miss Reid!" Her voice was gentle when she spoke. I thanked her and hung up.

I couldn't figure out who that woman was at the moment, and I honestly couldn't be bothered to.

Hendrix came out of the bathroom shortly after I ended the call. Steam enveloped his body when he emerged, and he wiped himself dry before climbing onto bed.

I tried to avoid him by turning my back towards him. Nevertheless, he got into bed and pulled me into his arms as I subconsciously tried to get away.

Even then, he still held me down. "Be good, I won't touch you!"
