Yet Tremaine was admitting that he had feelings for her.
Yesseca's mind was abuzz.
Tremaine could not stand the idiotic look on Yesseca's face.
He wanted to slap himself in the face!
That's what he needed!
Yes, he wanted to slap himself, not Yesseca.
Because even though Yesseca was a fool, he still had feelings for her!
He should not even bother with a woman like her, yet here he was!
But yet, here he was!
Tremaine glared fiercely at Yesseca. "Who was that man?!"
Yesseca could not help trembling.
His eyes were so piercingly fierce that she did not dare to speak.
After some time, she finally said, "He's my boyfriend.”
Perhaps she was too shocked by Tremaine's words.
Yesseca's voice was as soft as a whisper when she answered him.
Tremaine still heard her, though.
"Say that one more time!" Tremaine's eyes flashed furiously.
Yesseca felt like she was suffocating from his gaze.
Despite that, she still said, "He's my boyfriend."
Tremaine felt like someone had clubbed him on the head. It hurt so badly that he could not think.
Suddenly, Tremaine pulled Yesseca into his arms. He stared deep into her eyes, a wild look in his eyes. He forced out, "Has he laid a finger on you?"
Yesseca felt even more oppressed.
The look in Tremaine's eyes reminded her of the wolf they had seen in the forest. It scared her, and she felt like she would lose her life at any second.
Under such an oppressive gaze, she could not bring herself to speak.
Under the pressure of such angry eyes, she couldn't say anything.
Tremaine grew angrier from her silence.
He suddenly started tugging at Yesseca's blouse.
"Tell me whether he laid a finger on you!"
Her fair skin was exposed.
She shuddered.
"Did he touch you or not?!" Tremaine started pulling at her skirt.
Yesseca burst into tears when she saw him reaching for places that he should not. "No, no! Tremaine, you monster! Are you going to always act like this?"
Yesseca could not remember how many times Tremaine had treated her so cheaply!
He had just said that he was in love with her!
Yet he was being such a brute!
How could she trust him?
He had gone too far, and he was going from bad to worse!
And things were getting worse.
Was he going to violate her right here in his car?!
Tremaine's rage-filled mind cleared up a little at Yesseca's words.
She had called him a brute.
He, the President of Nashaland, was nothing but a brute to her!
Tremaine felt cold inside.
He looked at Yesseca and uttered, "So, that's how you see me... A brute."
Yesseca rearranged her clothes and said, "Yes, that's exactly what you are!"
A vein bulged on Tremaine's forehead.
He stared at Yesseca with restraint. "Tell me, have you ever had feelings for me?"
Yesseca's breath hitched.
She wanted to say no.
She could not bring herself to say so, though.
