Chapter 306: Chapter 307: Conquer Her
"If that’s the case, why didn’t you reject him to his face? Ah... why?"
Sienna Johnson collapsed against him, gasping for breath. Her throat ached from the choking water.
"Speak!"
"Adrian, do you have dreams? My dream was to grow up, marry Noah Phillips, and become his bride... When Noah told me he could marry me, how could I not be tempted..."
These words completely infuriated Adrian Desmond.
"Sienna Johnson, let’s die together!"
"..."
"If I can’t have you alive, I’ll have your corpse!" He looked at her coldly, grabbing her hair and intending to drag her back into the water.
"Madman!"
"Yes, I’m a madman, driven mad by you!"
An overwhelming fear rose from deep within her. Her fingertips dug into his strong arm, leaving deep marks. "No..." She didn’t want to die.
She hadn’t wanted to die four years ago, and she still didn’t want to die now.
In the dark depths, all she could see were Adrian’s wolf-like, sinister, bloodthirsty eyes. His hand gripped her waist tightly. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free from his hold to reach the surface for air.
She wanted to scream. But the moment she opened her mouth, ice-cold water flooded in, silencing her. The despair of imminent death enveloped her once more. The suffocating pain tormented her. Suddenly, everything around her became quiet—so quiet she could even hear Adrian’s steady breathing behind her.
She didn’t want to die, not one bit. Her father’s business still needed her to manage, and her daughter was still so young... How could she drown with this madman, Adrian Desmond, in a swimming pool?
She thrashed against him, clawing at him, desperate to reach the surface, to grasp at the hope of survival.
But Adrian stood on the pool floor like a water demon, dragging her down into a watery hell... No... she didn’t want to die.
In her desperation, Sienna kissed his lips. She kissed him fiercely, biting his lips, desperately drawing the air from his mouth into her own lungs. She used her body to placate him, hoping he would let her go.
It worked...
He was aroused, pressing her against the pool floor, kissing and caressing her. Sienna felt like she was going to die, just like that, at the bottom of the pool...
Adrian Desmond, that madman!
He was like the god of death, controlling her life and death. If he wanted her to live, she would live; if he wanted her to die, she would die.
Sienna’s consciousness gradually blurred. The hand that had clung to him so tightly went limp and fell away. Her eyes rolled back. I’m going to die, she thought helplessly.
Not in the sea, but in a swimming pool. How ridiculous.
Just as she was about to pass out, Adrian grabbed her waist and swam to the surface. Leaning against his arm, she greedily gulped fresh air. "COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!" The air itself made her choke, and she collapsed weakly into his embrace.
Adrian looked coldly at the woman in his arms, his voice dangerously close to her ear, "Have you thought it through now? Are you still going to marry that pretty boy?"
"Adrian Desmond, go to hell!"
Sienna swung her hand, slapping Adrian across the face with such force that his head snapped to the side.
She felt the man’s chest heave as he held her. "Sienna Johnson, you’ve got guts!"
His hand grabbed her hair, intending to drag her back into the water. Sienna, refusing to be dragged under again, crashed her lips against his, invading his mouth and biting his tongue hard. She heard his sound of pleasure, and then he began to retaliate.
He pressed her against the pool wall, kissing her, all the while still focused on his earlier question. "Don’t think you can fool me. If you don’t answer my question today, we’ll be stuck in this pool for the rest of our lives."
Sienna pressed his face against her full breasts. Adrian’s control shattered; desire surged through him...
He savored her without restraint, making sounds of satisfaction... She was very proactive tonight, her legs wrapped around his strong waist... In the end... everything became a blur, and she was utterly lost in the moment...
"Tell me, will you marry that pretty boy?"
Her answer was, "I won’t!"
She was a coward... Love was so cheap when her life was on the line. Look at her—to survive, she had chosen to abandon love.
A relieved smile spread across his face as he thrust into her again and again, each movement staking his claim.
"Sienna," he growled, "you can only be mine. Even in death, you’re mine."
This perverted madman!
Sienna Johnson was utterly defeated.
When Sienna woke up, the sky was faintly bright; it was dawn. The man beside her slept deeply, utterly defenseless, yet his hand still gripped her waist as if afraid she would run away.
Sienna’s face was close to his. Adrian’s features were sharply defined and three-dimensional, less like those of an Agaian and more Western. His eyelashes were long, just like Curly’s. And his lips... they were thin. They say men with thin lips are cold-hearted... she mused. Yet his obsession with her had always been so strong.
He slowly opened his eyes and pulled her into his arms. "You are not allowed to like other men. You are only allowed to love me!"
A domineering man!
"Do you really plan to stay in Sileria City?" she asked.
"You’re not willing to come with me, so what choice do I have?" he replied, his tone begrudging.
"..."
"Sienna Johnson, don’t forget what you promised me last night!"
She feigned ignorance. "What did I promise you last night?" She placed her hand on her forehead. "I was drowning last night. I can’t remember anything..."
He pinched her nipple harshly. "Believe it or not, I’ll drag you back into the water and make you remember."
The feeling of suffocation had been terrifying, and Sienna had no desire to experience it again. She knew this man’s triggers, so she spoke gently. "...You don’t need to worry. Noah and I... it’s impossible between us in this lifetime!"
"Then call him now and tell him!"
"It’s only five o’clock!"
"I don’t care!" he said stubbornly.
"Alright, alright. How about during the day? He’s sleeping now. If I call him at this hour, he’ll think he’s dreaming." Sienna coaxed, finally managing to placate him.
"I’ll be watching you make that call!"
"Adrian, if you lied to me last night, our agreement is off!"
The previous night, Sienna had said that if Adrian agreed to stay in Sileria City and marry into the Johnson Family, she would marry him.
"I know," he said impatiently.
"Adrian, have you thought this through? Remember, this is a monogamous society. If you marry me, you can’t marry other women."
"Nagging!"
"Also, in Orienta, for a man to marry into his wife’s family is considered very shameful. Only men without prospects or ability would do such a thing. They’re ridiculed by everyone..."
