Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 621

He did it for his son and for himself. It was a must.

"I haven't even had the chance to say 'I love you,' Whitney."

Whitney shot back, "Dream on. Even after being your prisoner for a month, the moment I get back, I'm cutting ties with you for good! And if I happen to get pregnant, I'll end it without hesitation!"

Ludwik felt her harsh words cut through him, the thought of her wanting to terminate his child was unbearable.

His jaw clenched, a cold resolve in his eyes, "If you're thinking of terminating again, I'll have no choice but to keep you here until the baby is born, a year from now."

Before Whitney could explode in anger, he calmly added, "Don't doubt my capabilities. I can easily keep you confined on this island for a year. You might not be aware, but Lippert Enterprises is in partnership with Skyfaith Technologies. Soon, the world's most advanced chip, WisdoChip, will revolutionize the market and elevate the Lippert family to the pinnacle of success. Just think about it, with my standing in Harmonia, who could possibly challenge me?"

His tone was even, but his words were filled with outrageous confidence.

Whitney was stunned. Lippert Enterprises had indeed formed a powerful alliance with Skyfaith, which was dominating the high-end market in Harmonia.

This move had significantly boosted Lippert Enterprises' position, making Ludwik's name synonymous with invincibility. It seemed no law or leader could touch him now.

His warm breath enveloped her, a gentle caress yet also a dark shadow, "Darling, bear me a daughter, and everything I have will be for our three children. If not for yourself, think about their future. All my business ventures would be meaningless without you and the kids. You and they give my life meaning. Do you understand?"

Whitney shuddered internally. Why couldn't he have realized this sooner? His obsession was terrifying.

In her reluctance to accept his forced affections, she felt immense pain and resentment.

Ludwik kissed her forehead softly.

Her forehead was clouded with confusion, unable to relax.

He smiled, lifting a corner of his mouth confidently, "Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe spending every day here with me, enjoying the sweet moments, you might fall back in love with me. Remembering the feeling of loving someone just takes a little review. Let's have a little faith in each other, after all, we've loved deeply before."

Whitney pushed away his muscular arm, her face stiff, not wanting to speak anymore.

He took her hand, ignoring her displeasure, "Come, the island has much to offer. Let's go surfing. Forget all worries; it's just you and me here."

But Whitney couldn't and didn't want to forget.

The desolation of the island, the call of the wild that went unanswered, indeed the beautiful scenery could wear down one's will.

She didn't want to succumb to his control, to waste away here.

-

Nightfall.

After rummaging through the villa's kitchen, Whitney found no medication.

It seemed the housekeeper had been careful, following his instructions.

She had hoped to find something to induce her period faster, but it was futile.

Especially now, she was in danger; she couldn't let him touch her.

While showering, Whitney stared at his razor on the washbasin and finally got an idea.

Quickly, she used the sharp blade to cut a discreet spot on the inside of her arm, wincing as she smeared the blood on her pants.

After completing her setup, she came out to find Ludwik lounging in a bathrobe, his tall frame lazily sexy as he sat on the bed, a book in hand. At her appearance, his eyes darkened, the book forgotten as he moved towards her, intending to envelop her into bed.

Whitney blurted out immediately, "Do you have any tampons? My period just started!"

"So soon?" Ludwik's skepticism was evident, his disbelief clear as he raised an eyebrow, "Trying to avoid pregnancy by pretending, Whitney?"
