Liana was startled by this weird voice, and the moment she turned around, she saw Tyler standing by the elevator, staring at her coldly.
The room was sunless, only the eerie moonlight piercing through the rooftop glass, casting a deathly pallor on Tyler's face, making him look like a demon straight from hell.
Seeing Tyler like this, Liana felt a chill, and she subconsciously took a step back, leaning her back against the door of a room. That's when Tyler walked towards her, untying the white cloth around his wrist.
When he walked in front of her, the white cloth was just untied. Liana saw this scene, thinking he was going to rape her. She was so scared that she wanted to run away, but he pulled her back. Using the cloth, he bound her hands above her head, his icy fingers tracing a path from her face to her chest.
His hand on her chest, he asked, "Didn’t we agree that you'd get the gun in a month? What's the rush?"
Enduring the humiliation, Liana gritted her teeth and retorted, "Tyler, I don’t want to be stuck with you for a whole freaking month."
Bending his head, Tyler nipped at her neck, "But I want."
His tongue on her skin felt like a scorpion sting, causing her excruciating pain.
Struggling against the pain, Liana tried to break free, but he had her pinned against the door, unable to move at all.
Tyler bit her and whispered in her ear, "You haven't tried being abused before, how about trying once as punishment?" Liana's face turned pale when she heard the word 'abuse', "Tyler, don't be silly!" Those who had raped her had also abused her. Tyler, as the mastermind, was now treating it as a form of punishment. Just how dark was his heart?
With a soft kiss on her cheek, Tyler asked in a lover-like tone, "So, are you still thinking of running away?"
'Getting a gun' was synonymous with running away. He didn't need to be so gentle with a woman who didn’t even want to spend a month with him.
Scared of being abused by Tyler, Liana reluctantly shook her head, "I won't run..."
His fingers skimmed over Liana's chest, "If you're not running, then let's go back to bed, shall we?"
He knew her body well, even a slight touch would get a physical response from her. Enduring her disgust and humiliation, she agreed with a nod.
However, instead of taking her to bed, Tyler pressed her against the cold door and forced himself on her.
Initially, Bernard thought Tyler was just a cocky jerk, but now he felt that Tyler might have done all this for the chance to spend an extra month with Liana.
Bernard couldn't exactly comment on Tyler's motives, but he could guess Tyler's mindset, like a desperate animal cornered, ready to go all out, no matter the cost.
Did Tyler love Liana?
Yes, he did. His obsession with her had reached a maddening level...
Having received the information, Bernard could find Tyler quickly, but he hesitated, a bad feeling holding him back.
Everyone in the hospital room was watching him, including Will's parents. They were teary-eyed, staring at Bernard, who sat on the couch, a rock amidst the storm.
Will, lying on the hospital bed, noticed Bernard's hesitation and gratitude replaced his worry, "Mr. Laurence, thank you for helping me find these countries. Leave the next things to me..."
