❝Come on beautiful, how long are you going to pretend that I'm not the reason for that❞ His eyes glide down my body and stop at my thighs that had mindlessly pressed themselves together. "When you stop pretending I'm not the reason for that" I gesture towards his legs this time, his thighs parted and the hard erection showing through his pants. I can't help but clear my throat at the print. He stands up, with no shame. Not even trying to cover or adjust himself, he only walks towards me as I sit on the chair in his office.

"Marry me, and I will give myself to you willingly. But I will never betray my beliefs. I will never be with a man without the sanctity of marriage." "Please," she begged, her voice barely above a whisper, "I'm innocent, and my dignity means everything to me." He scoffed "Dignity? In that torn dress?" "And Marry you?" his tone dripping with disdain. "What makes you think you're worthy of being my wife?" Serena's heart sank at his scornful words, but she refused to back down.She took a shuddering breath, steeling herself. "My word is all I have to offer," she declared, "And it's the only way you'll have me. I will not let you break me like this." her voice steady despite the fear that threatened to overwhelm her. For a moment, there was silence, the weight of her words hanging heavy in the air. And then, slowly, he let out a derisive laugh, his amusement palpable. "Serena, you're already broken ,You just haven't accepted it yet." his voice cold and detached.
