Ariah felt that her life would be at stake tonight if Jimmy continued kissing her as if he had gone mad. Her lips felt numb and painful as she was surrounded by a strong, maddening aura.
What should she do? She could not push him away.
Neither could she flee from the spot.
If this had happened in the past, Ariah would have succumbed to it. However, the situation now was different as she had been infuriated by Jimmy's unforgivable betrayal. If she submitted to him, then her dignity would be trampled by him.
Thinking of this, Ariah moved her mouth and took the initiative to kiss him back in an aggressive manner.
This proactive kiss made Jimmy's body stiffen for a moment, and he was soon surrounded by huge ecstasy. Every time he met her in the past, she had always ridiculed him with sarcastic words or showed him her sullen face. Now that she was kissing him willingly, didn't that mean...
Upon regaining his senses, he kissed her even harder with excitement.
The next second.
"Mmm..."
A groan came out of Jimmy's throat and his face turned livid. After letting go of her, he wiped his mouth and was shocked to see a tint of bright red on his hand.
How dare she bite him?!
He must not let her go so easily this time.
Angered, he jumped up and tried to grab her. When he looked up, the blood in his body froze when he saw her under the cold moonlight on the balcony.
Holding a fruit knife from the coffee table, Ariah was staring at him with a glacial expression.
As his lips trembled a little, he asked, "W-What's wrong with you? Come back here now!"
Stolidly, she responded, one word at a time, "Jimmy, if you still want to force me, I'll just die before you today!"
As she spoke, she raised the blade in her hand.
His head was buzzing, and the veins of his forehead were throbbing. Be it anger or lust, all emotions fled from his mind at this moment. "Hold on!" His voice was hoarse as if it had been tom apart as he shouted.
However, his words seemed to fall on deaf ears, for she soon raised her hand and swung her knife down.
"Ariah!"
Jimmy roared, and his eyes were red with anger. He instantly sprinted forward and swooped down like a leopard.
"Bang!"
The knife dropped from her hand as he rushed over and pounced on her. Unfortunately, the sharp blade still injured her neck, which caused blood to ooze out of her skin.
As Jimmy forcefully pulled her into the living room, his face was so dark that he almost wanted to kill her. Trembling, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight so that he could check on her neck. Before he looked at it properly, he gasped out of fear.
"Sit still!"
Following a furious roar, he turned around to look for the medicinal kit. Since he could not see the path clearly in the dark, he got so angry that he immediately kicked the blocking chair aside. In a stern voice, he asked, "Where is the medicinal?"
Nonetheless, Ariah was in so much pain that she could hardly speak.
"Did you hear me?" He was gripped by fury as he asked gruffly.
Despite the soreness of her injury, she still raised her hand and spat out a few words with difficulty, "The second drawer in the lower left corner."
Once he found the first- aid kit, he quickly turned to her. His temper was unstable, so he failed to open the kit for the first few times and only managed to open it after cursing for a while in a low voice.
He then took out a bottle of antiseptic disinfectant, a cotton swab, and some gauze to stop the bleeding. With a cold face, he ordered, "Raise your head now!"
