In My Mind In His World

“How dare you threaten me with your death again!” he bellowed.

It was the first time he had shouted at me. He even knocked over a chair in his anger. “Ariana, if this happens again, I swear the one who dies will be you!”

Wendy was terrified. Even after Nicholas had left, she didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. After a while, she said to me, “Mr. Hawk cares about you. When you were unconscious-”

interrupted her, “Please bring me another bowl of oatmeal porridge.”

His outburst was uncalled for, and he got angry for no reason at all. In the four years of our marriage, he had never raised his

voice at me like this.

Moreover, I had only said something extreme due to my frustration this one time. How could he accuse me of threatening him? Moreover, he even said I’d done it “again” when I’d never done such a thing.

It was clear he was just finding an excuse to reproach me simply because he didn’t like what I said. There was no way we could continue living like this.

I stayed home for a few days. During this time, I didn’t see Nicholas or Claudia around. I had no idea if they were together or not, so my thoughts ran wild. This affected my rest and slowed my recovery.

Once I felt a bit better, I read my law books when my head wasn’t spinning. Thankfully, I had once memorized them and could recall most of the contents with a little review.

One night, as I was sleeping soundly, the smell of alcohol drifted into my nostrils. The taste became stronger as I licked my lips.

My body trembled as my eyes flew open. I was shocked to find a certain man passionately kissing me.

“Are you awake now?” His voice was husky. He ran his fingers across my lips and bit my ear. “Be good and cooperate with me, my dear wife.”

The next second, my nightgown was pushed up to my neck. His hands roamed over my body and ignited a wave of heat wherever they landed.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re being crazy, Nicholas!”

I tried to back away, but his kisses didn’t stop. In the past, I had always been the one to initiate acts of intimacy with him. How could I resist him when he came onto me so seductively

now?

Soon, I felt a burning sensation in my core. Unable to resist him any longer, I responded.

“Feeling aroused so soon? I’ll make sure you’re satisfied tonight!”

In the darkness, I was glad he couldn’t see my flushed face. I bit my wrist to stifle my damning moans.

However, he wanted to hear them.

He clasped my hands and pinned them to the bed as his body pressed down on mine. “Don’t hold back. How will I know if you’re satisfied if you don’t let out your cries of pleasure?”

I couldn’t move as my heart pounded against my ribcage. “Shut up… It’s clearly you who’s enjoying yourself!”

He raised his head. The rims of his eyes were slightly red as he stared at me intently. “I see. So you like this kind of talk.”

Sweat dripped onto my abdomen and made my whole body tingle.

He panted and said, “Put in some effort. If you exhaust me, you’ll feel happy too.”

As he said that, he turned on the bedside lamp and lay down.

I thought being on top would give me control, but in the face of his strength, my struggles were futile. Soon, my breathing became rapid and chaotic, and so did his.

My voice trembled as I demanded, “Wear a condom. I don’t want to get pregnant with your child!”

“You won’t!” Nicholas replied.

That night, Nicholas was particularly uninhibited due to his intoxication. Because of that, I experienced pleasure in a way that I’d never experienced before.
