Maria could barely breathe. She wanted to say something, but no words could come out of her mouth.
"You wanted sleep with another man?"
his cold voice sounded, sending shivers down her spine.
Maria struggled and tried to fight back, but it was futile. Finally, she reached up and pinched his cheek-hard.
The man's face went livid with anger. How dare she fight back?
"Let me go!"
Maria said through gritted teeth, pinching him even harder.
It was not until her face turned red as a tomato and the force in her pinch grew weaker and weaker that he loosened his grip on her neck.
Pak! The second she was freed, Maria's hand shot up and slapped him across the face.
Then she gasped for breath and coughed violently, sinking into the seat.
How dare she slap him? He needed to teach her a lesson today. James' eyes flashed dangerously. His hand crept to her thigh, reaching under the hemline of her dress.
Realizing what he was going to do, Maria stopped his hands firmly. "No!"
"No? Huh! Are you saying I can't even touch you now?” This angered him even more. His hand kept creeping
up her thigh.
"Wait a minute! Ahem—" Maria was still trying to recover from his choke hold; it was difficult for her to even speak. Just as his fingers brushed against her underwear, she squeaked, "I'm on my period!"
The reason why she had chosen to go to Colby today was because she didn't want to have sex with him.
James' hand stopped abruptly. When he managed to calm himself down, he realized her line of thinking.
However, this didn't cool his anger. "So what? Some men will still have sex with a woman who is on her period."
He had seen all kinds of dirty things in his time. For some men, a woman's period wouldn't stop them.
Maria knew he was talking about Colby. So she took the initiative to hug him. "Take me to a bathroom." If he didn't take her to a bathroom, his car seat would get stained.
James looked at her incredulously. How could she pretend nothing had happened after she slapped him? Did he spoil her too much?
But it wasn't like he could respond in kind. He peeled her off him and got out of the car angrily.
Maria heaved a sigh of relief. James had almost killed her just now.
James got in the driver's seat and started the car. Maria shifted about in her seat and asked, "How'd you know I was there?"
He ignored her.
Maria sighed. "James, do you really love me?"
This wasn't the first time she had asked this question, and he had already answered it last time. Why did she have to ask again?
His expression hardened and he kept silent. Maria thought she understood the meaning behind this silence. He had only responded last time because he wanted to have sex with her.
It didn't take long before they reached Maria's office. When he stalled the car in front of the gate, Maria reluctantly opened the door and got out.
Just as she was about to say something to him from the open window, he pressed his foot against the gas and took off.
Left in the dust, Maria pursed her lips unhappily.
Alright, then. If he didn't want to hear her out, then she wouldn't even try to explain herself.
Holding her head up high, she turned around and walked into her office.
Previously, when Colby and Maria just left the villa, Joslyn picked up the phone and dialed an overseas number. "What are you still doing in the US? Your husband-my father-took a bitch to our home! Don't tell me you didn't know about this!"
The woman's face fell dramatically. "He did?"
"Yes. I guess they are having sex in your room!" Joslyn rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Why did Maria have to seduce every man?
