Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)

The moaning sounds coming from the couple on the screen sounded like buzzes to Elaine.

She was transfixed by the scene in front of her.

It was her first time watching such an explicit movie, so not to mention the shock she felt, she was also terrified.

How could they... how could they do that?

It was too disgusting!

All of a sudden, she felt nauseous. Covering her hands over her mouth, she tried to run to the bathroom, but Vincent clasped her arms and demanded, "Finish the movie first." Refusing to surrender, she continued to struggle. He was definitely a pervert for making her watch this stuff!

"Mm..."

No matter how much she wriggled, she couldn't break free from his grasp. At this point, she was so anxious that she almost shed tears.

She couldn't bring herself to watch the movie.

Seeing her reaction, Vincent turned up the volume, forcing her to listen to the sexy and sensual moans.

Just as she put in all her might to squirm out of his embrace, she gradually felt that something was wrong. Vincent's body tensed up, and his breathing became rapid... "If you keep moving, I'll make out with you right on the couch."

He threatened fiercely with sweat dripping on his forehead.

Embarrassed, she fumed with rage and slapped him out of instinct.

"Slap!"

Her small palm landed on his handsome face.

Everyone in the room was in a shock.

The expression on Vincent's face immediately turned icy cold. Pinching her chin, he lifted her head up. His piercing gaze looked as if he could penetrate right through her eyes. Frightened, she stammered, "Why... why didn't you avoid me?"

She was screwed.

This time, she was dead meat.

How could she have slapped a psychopath!

He killed people without blinking an eye, and he sliced people's throats as if it was a normal thing. She was certain that she would die in his hands.

Realizing the consequences, she quivered in fear.

On the other hand, Vincent exuded an icy cold aura from head to toe.

Staring timidly at him, Elaine felt that her body stiffened. Tears were brimming in the corners of her eyes, threatening to fall any time.

"Why did you hit me if you're so scared?" he snickered.

"I'm so sorry, please don't kill me..." blurted Elaine.

When she begged for mercy, his mood didn't seem to lighten at all. Instead, his expression turned livid.

Though she didn't know what she had done wrong, it was obvious that he seemed to be angrier than before.

With a thud, Vincent shut down the laptop and pressed her down on the couch. Staring at her with sharp eyes, he asked, "Am I only a merciless murderer to you?"

A confused look appeared on Elaine's face. "Aren't you?"

"If I was really a merciless murderer, how could you still be alive now? Don't you remember how many times you've offended me? If I had been a psychopath, that one slap would have been my trigger point to kill you," he sneered in response.

Stunned, Elaine was at a loss for words.

Vincent's fingers were still on her chin. Stroking gently, he slowly trailed his fingers across her neck, feeling the softness of her skin. His big hands were warm, and his fingers gradually reached her shoulders as he gently caressed them.

As his eyes gradually deepened, she could sense his warmth all over her body, making her shudder by the unusual sensation.

She didn't know what he wanted to do, but somehow she had a hunch of what he was trying to do.

Placing her hands on his chest, she refused in a trembling voice, "No... we can't..."

"Why can't I?" Picking up a strand of hair on her cheek, he coaxed in a deep and sultry voice, "You said that you wanted to date me, so there's nothing wrong for us to have sex when we're a couple." "No, no! You can't do this to me. I don't like you, and I don't want to be with you! I was just lying that I will date you. Now let me go!"

In desperation, she screamed her thoughts out loud.

In an instant, Vincent's eyes turned shallow. He stared at her tear- brimmed eyes without an expression.

The unfathomable look on his face made her shut up.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and

kissed her lips in an aggressive,

violent, and overbearing manner.

She was

too shocked to react. B

the time she came back to her

senses, he was already holding onto

her slender waist tightly.

She couldn't understand why he did it last night, but after watching the movie with him earlier, she finally understood.

When his fingers trailed across her body, she felt as if a snake had crawled over her, causing goosebumps to form all over her body.

Immediately, she pushed him away with all of her might. Before he could process what had happened, she covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom. She threw up instantly when she reached the bathroom.

Sitting on the sofa, Vincent had yet to regain his composure as he breathed in heavily. When he heard the sounds of puking coming from the bathroom, he suddenly froze.

It seemed that she had already hated him to the extent that she found him disgusting.

At night, Elaine couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning around, inappropriate thoughts that she shouldn't have still lingered in her mind.

Her body felt warm as if she was trapped in another realm, unable to escape.

When she opened her eyes, she saw bloodstains on the sheets. It was her period.

In a hurry, she ran to the bathroom to clean herself up. However, when she came out of the bathroom, Vincent was also awake, and he was looking at the bloodstained sheets with a frown.

Embarrassed, she felt as if her face was burning. Rushing over to cover the sheets with a blanket, she warned, "Don't look!"

Vincent looked at her. "Are you having..."

"Don't say a thing!"

Hearing that, Vincent kept quiet.

After pausing for a while, he spoke, "Do you have tampons?"

Elaine was extremely uncomfortable and awkward that she didn't answer him.

"If not, I'll get someone to buy it."

In fact, she didn't have any tampons so she only made do with tissues. Just as she was ready to head out and buy some tampons, he woke up.

"It's fine. I'll go get it myself," she answered coldly, not even sparing him a glance.

He watched her leave. It was only after she was out of the room that he stopped staring.

Getting up from the bed, he knocked down a stool before heading to the bathroom.

When Morgan saw the look on Vincent's face, he immediately knew that he wasn't in a good mood.

After bringing in breakfast and the newspaper Morgan reported the situation in Rotraedor to him.

"You've been out for too long, sinet

Although Matthew Lowe is handling the company now, it's probably time for you to go back too."

"Okay," answered Vincent in a low voice. "I'll leave it up to you to settle any company matters. I'll bring Elaine back to Rotraedor."

"What about the Perkins Family..."

The main purpose of his return this time was to deal with the Perkins Family. He wanted to make the Perkins suffer. Even though they were in a deep abyss of suffering now, they didn't actually suffer from a huge loss...

He wondered if Vincent would stop then and there...

Patiently, he waited for his answer.

Squinting his eyes as if deep in thought, he tapped his slender fingers on the tabletop. Elaine's pleading face suddenly flashed across his mind. He could imagine her tugging at his sleeves and begged, "Please don't hurt the Perkins Family anymore, okay?"

What if he completely ruined the Perkins?

What would she do?

Obviously, she would hate him to death.

Up to this point, she had already felt disgusted by him and hated him to the core. If he did anything to the Perkins, she might completely give up on him.

"Let's leave it this way. None of them are useful to me anyway. Just let them live their life however they want to..." Vincent answered plainly.

"Alright, sir," Morgan replied with a lightened mood.

He hadn't been wrong about Miss Jacob. Miss Jacob's influence on Mr. Bradbury was indeed very effective.

Finally, he intended to give up the attack on the Perkins Family.

Morgan had always believed that Miss Jacob would be the one to bring change in Vincent's life.

"Sir, I saw Miss Jacob leaving early this morning. Five minutes ago, one of the Dark Guards sent me a message saying that she seemed to be heading

in the direction of her house."

He poured him coffee while reporting the news.

Though Vincent frowned, he uttered, "Let her go. It shouldn't be too big of a problem with the Dark Guards protecting her."

"Yes, sir."

Just then, Ruben called him. Once he picked up the phone, Ruben started saying, "Hey, I found what you're looking for. Seems like Elaine has another scandal before Howard!"
