Reclaiming the CEO's Heart

Chapter 19 Punishing Kiss

Chapter 19 Punishing Kiss

Avery's slender ankles were like fragile butterfly wings in his hands, and he was ready to crush them

with ease.

Jacob bent over and slowly approached her.

His deep eyes reflected her terrified face. Her resistance ignited the last spark of fire in his heart.

Avery's heart pounded wildly as she screamed in fear and anger, "Don't touch me with the hands that

have touched other women. Take your dirty hands off me!"

But in the next second, Jacob claimed her lips and muffled her voice.

Avery widened her eyes and shook her head frantically, desperately trying to break free from his

control.

The man's hand slipped around her neck and firmly clamped the back of her head, forcing her to tilt her

neck and accept this punishing kiss.

The cold and rough breath constantly flowed into Avery's mouth. The thought that his lips might have

kissed Layla made her nauseous.

Summoning her strength, she pushed Jacob away and leaned over the side of the bed, vomiting.

When she turned her head back, Jacob's face appeared livid.

His eyes stared at her intensely, but Avery enunciated, "As I said, don't touch me. You make me sick."

A blazing fire raged in Jacob's heart.

Her vomit extinguished the intense atmosphere that had just been building up, and just as a phone call

came in, Jacob swiftly left, flicking his sleeve.

Soon, the maid, Madison, hurried in to clean up. Seeing Avery's exhausted state, she couldn't help but

feel sorry for her. "Mrs. Hill." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Avery weakly greeted her. "Madison, long time no see."

"Yeah. It's been over a year since Mr. Hill moved back. What exactly happened between you and Mr.

Hill? He used to treat you so well. I've never seen him caring about anyone like that."

Avery lay weakly on the bed, her eyes fixed on the stars on the ceiling that he had set. When the lights

were turned off at night, it looked like a galaxy.

In the past, he would keep in mind her every word, but now, even if she died in front of him, he would

think she was just acting.

Avery murmured, "I also want to know what happened between us..."

Madison sighed. "Mrs. Hill, although Mr. Hill dotes on vixen, I can tell that he still cares about you. In

this past year, no matter how late it was, he would come home for the night instead of staying at her

place."

Avery was taken aback. The media had reported multiple times about him going there at night and

leaving early in the morning. Had he never stayed at Willowbrook?

But soon, she laughed at her thought. They already had a child together, so did it matter whether he

stayed there for the night?

"Mrs. Hill, couples quarrel, and they make up. I..."

Others wouldn't know how complicated the entanglement was between them. Jacob held deep

grievances against her, and her love for him had slowly turned into hatred. Even without Layla, they

would not get back together.

Facing Madison's kindness, Avery mustered up her strength and got out of bed. "Madison, I'll go wash

up first."

"Alright, Mrs. Hill."

She washed every part of her body that Jacob had touched, over and over again. She even carefully

washed her hair, which she hadn't done in days.

Looking at the strands of hair falling to the ground, Avery sat huddled in the corner of the bathroom for

a while, lost in thought.

It was not until she heard Madison's voice coming from outside that she picked up the strands of hair,

wrapped them up in the tissue, and threw them into the trash can.

She didn't want Jacob to discover her illness.
