Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte)
Bitten Once Shy Forever 116

Chapter 116

Evangeline could never have imagined that after all the pain Walter had caused her, he still had the audacity to want more from her.

The strength between a man and a woman was too uneven, however. Even though Evangeline's shove took him by surprise, Walter quickly steadied himself and began to peel off the pants she had just managed to put on. Evangeline's skin prickled with the anticipation of the agony that was to come.

"You've hurt me twice already! My legs are throbbing with pain..."

She fought desperately against Walter's iron grip.

Then, with a sudden squeeze of his strong arms that almost sounded like a plea, Walter urged, "Don't

move! Let me check."

His voice had been gentle, and his commanding touch had been careful not to hurt her, yet Evangeline's trust had long been gone.

"The best thing you can do for me is to keep your distance!"

To Evangeline, keeping away from someone who seemed ready to pounce at any moment had been the only safe option.

The more she squirmed, the tighter Walter held her. "Stay still, I need to put some medicine on this."

"Medicine? That's ridiculous! What if I don't want it?"

Despit

her resistance, Walter's overwhelming strength won out.

A sharp, ripping pain had shot through her as Walter finally saw the wound-the tender spot angry and swollen, shining faintly with a clear cut visible.

"I don't need your help with medicine, Mr. Walter Gordon. I'll say it again-I want you far away f

from me!"

Walter had not given her a chance to protest. He had lifted her onto the counter and went to retrieve her clothes. "This isn't good, you need to see a doctor!" Evangeline had just broken free, and there was no way she was about to

start taking orders. Ignoring the throbbing pain, she scrambled down from the washstand, snatched up a bath towel to wrap around herself, and made a dash for it. Walter was on her in a flash, catching her before she could escape. "What do you think you're doing? I'm telling you, I'm not going to the hospital!"

The mere thought of the last hospital visit made her cringe. She could not bear the thought of going through that embarrassment again.

"Fine," said Walter, gripping her wrist firmly, a generous offer in his voice, "it's your choice: hospital or medicine.

"Why should I do what you say?"

She

e was the cherished princess of the Foster family, used to having others hang on her every word. She had listened to Walter because she liked him before, but those days were over. Chapter 116

Her defiance only made Walter smirk. Holding her close, he leaned in, his lips grazing the sensitive spot behind her ear in a teasing whisper.

"You might not realize it, but I actually love this feisty side of you... Last night, you kept saying 'no', but your body told the truth. You melted at my touch, soft as can be... Really inviting..."

His voice, rough with a hint of a seductive rasp, seemed to pull her back into the heat of last night's encounter. Walter had been relentless, teasing and taunting her, not stopping even when her tears fell. "Stop making stuff up..."

Evangeline tried to protest, yet the sudden hardness in Walter's gaze stopped her cold.

"Evangeline, you'd better listen up," Walter snapped, his voice icy. "Until that divorce paper is in your pretty little hands, you're going to toe the line. If I catch you cozying up to any other guy, he's as good as dead, got it?"
