Charlotte bit her lip and looked up at him, pale but defiant. “Arthur, you have no right to keephere.”

Her face was drained of color, and her eyes, red-rimmed from exhaustion, burned with anger. She hadn't eaten,
hadn’t rested- her whole body seemed on the verge of collapse.
Arthur loosened his tie and tossed it carelessly to the side. Without another word, he scooped her up in his arms.
“What are you doing? Putdown!” Charlotte thrashed and twisted, fighting with all her strength, and in
desperation, she sank her teeth into his shoulder. She bit down so hard that a sour ache spread through her jaw.
But her struggle was futile. Arthur's grip didn’t loosen-instead, he held her down even tighter, forcing her back
against the bed. His kisses were fierce, almost aggressive, and in the splace. where she had bitten him, he
retaliated by leaving a harsh bite of
his own.
Her teeth had drawn blood on his shoulder, but Arthur didn’t seem to care. Pain radiated through Charlotte, but
Arthur still refused to let her go. Charlotte shivered uncontrollably, twisting and turning in vain, but all her
resistance met with his overwhelming dominance.
She bit her lip hard, swallowing back any sound that threatened

to escape her throat. Arthur, on the other hand, didn’t hold back at all. His every move was strong and
possessive, leaving no room for escape.
His eyes, a deep, dangerous red, locked onto hers. The sight of her enduring the pain silently, her stubborn
defiance, felt like a knife to his heart. It tore him apart inside-an unbearable ache that spread through his chest
like an icy wind, cutting him open. and leaving nothing but emptiness.
He clung to her tightly, as if he could merge her into his very being. But even as he held her, kissed her, and
claimed her, she still felt out of reach-so distant that it drove him to the brink of
despair.
It was as if the moment Arthur let his guard down, she would vanish completely, disappearing from his world
forever. And that was something he absolutely couldn't allow.
Arthur thought bitterly, “Charlotte, you're mine. You belong to me. No one else.”
The night dragged on, heavy and oppressive.
When it was finally over, Charlotte lay there motionless, utterly spent. Pain throbbed through her body, sharp
and tearing, but her mind was elsewhere. Her empty gaze drifted to the window, where the night stretched
endlessly, dark and suffocating. It felt like a bottomless abyss, pulling her in, threatening to swallow
her whole.
She had fought so hard for so long, but in the end, one party had

undone everything. Hope had gone in an instant. Charlotte felt lost, adrift, her mind drowning in confusion and
despair.
The cool touch of ointment against her skin pulled her back to reality. She flinched slightly as Arthur's hand
moved with surprising gentleness, applying the salve to her injuries.
Her lashes fluttered as she blinked, her throat dry and aching. “Arthur,” she rasped, her voice hoarse and broken,
“how long are you planning to tormentlike this?”

“Does it hurt?” he asked softly, almost as if talking to himself. Arthur's focus remained on his task, his fingers
carefully tending to her bruised skin. His expression was unreadable.
Arthur continued, “When | found out you were the one who sent Sarah to the lounge to find me, it hurt,

“I didn’t-" Charlotte started, but Arthur cut her off.
“I couldn't think straight,” he added, his voice thick with frustration. “The drugs hadcompletely out of

He closed the ointment jar and wiped his fingers with a tissue. His hands stilled, and his piercing gaze settled on
her face. “But none of it matters, does it?” he said with a hollow, self-mocking smile. “You don’t care, not even a
little. Fine. If that’s how it is, then let's just keep going like this. Forever.”
