The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 53

She appeared in front of him tonight, stirring his pity. But just as he was about to give in, she wriggled out of his grasp.

He was pissed.

"Stay!" he barked coldly.

Allison didn't stop, or rather, she didn't dare to. However, just as she was about to leave the yard, a strong arm hooked around her slender waist, pulling her back abruptly, her back slamming into his firm chest.

"Let me go!"

Allison tried to break free in a panicked struggle, but Lucian picked her up, carried her to the bedroom, and placed her on the bed.

It took Allison several attempts to sit up, completely drained. Lucian noticed on her hand where the IV had been; it looked like the needle had been forcibly removed, almost tearing her vein.

The IV bag hanging by the bed was still more than half full.

His expression darkened.

"Allison, this stunt of yours is seriously low," he said, grabbing her chin, "I told you to go, but you didn't. Instead, you crashed my car, showed up in front of me, and now you're trying to play me with this cheap trick. Fine, I'll play along..."

He leaned in, planting a hard kiss on her lips. As Allison struggled, tears wetting the corners of her eyes, her sobs swallowed, and her resistance seemed futile.

His familiar scent engulfed her.

Allison thought about their child.
