The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 969

Chloe gritted her teeth and slapped Ivan across the face with all her strength. Ivan's face swung to one side.

As Chloe tried to get up, Ivan swiftly pinned her down again.

The fruit Damon had cut for her was knocked over and scattered on the floor.

"Stay away...!" Chloe was terrified to her core. This stranger made her skin crawl; his breath made her nauseous.

"Stay away... if you touch me one more time... I'll kill you!"

Chloe's voice trembled as she spoke. Her clothes and hair were a mess, but she was still so beautiful.

Ivan had lost all sense of reason, too overwhelmed to think about anything else. He had only one thought right now, to possess this woman who he found irresistible.

Desire consumed him. He gazed at Chloe's delicate and beautiful collarbone, wanting to see more, and began to rip her clothes off.

With a tearing sound, he ripped her nightgown, exposing her shoulder.

Chloe's mind went into a frenzy at the sound. Ivan watched Chloe struggle more and more fiercely, which only excited him further.

If... if this man raped her tonight, she would rather die, she would rather die!

Ivan's eyes were filled with lust and depravity, aching with desire.

"You're so beautiful... I knew it the moment I saw you... I'll make you feel good... trust me..."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch her shoulder, trying to kiss her smooth, round skin.

In her panic, Chloe saw the glint of a small knife next to the scattered fruit. Without hesitation, she grabbed the knife and plunged it into his stomach with all her might.

The knife went in deep, fueled by her fear and anger.

The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed in Chloe's ears. Almost immediately, Ivan's blood splashed onto her face and body. He stiffened, looking down in disbelief at the knife in his stomach and Chloe's blood-soaked hand.

"You..."

"What's going on? Ahhh!!!" A server who heard the commotion ran in only to be met with a bloody scene. He screamed in horror, his face turning pale.

Ivan clutched his stomach and slumped to the side.

Chloe's eyes went blank; she backed away, looking deathly pale. She curled up, seemingly unable to recover from her fear, her teeth chattering.

She stared at Ivan's motionless body. His dark red blood soaked the floor, gradually spreading...

Freya, still seething from an argument with Nathan, seized the opportunity to mock, "See how close our future Mrs. Harper and Damon are? They just parted ways and she's already missing him. This is just a family dinner, I wonder what will happen when business talks run late, or even overnight."

Damon frowned, giving Freya a cold stare that sent shivers down her spine. Freya then turned to Ariana, "Where's Ivan? Why isn't he back yet?"

Ariana shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't seen him since I came out of the bathroom."

Damon took the phone from the servant, stood up, and left the dining room, speaking softly, "Chloe?"

Freya’s voice came from the phone, and Chloe's face remained rigid. But when she heard Damon's familiar, gentle voice, her eyes lit up, her eyes welled up with tears as she tried to suppress her fear.

"Damon... I killed someone..."

Damon froze mid-motion, his gaze suddenly sharp and icy.

"Is he dead?"

His voice was as cold as ice.

The entire dining room fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Damon, the only sound was the sound of breathing.

Chloe looked at the motionless man in front of her and the large pool of blood on the floor, "...probably dead."
