Chapter 6 I Await Your Plea

‘Heh, this girl is pretty smart.’

Nicholas surveyed Daphne gloomily. “I’ve heard from my housekeeper that you’ve rejected my terms. You’ve got some nerve. How about this, if you agree to my terms, you won’t have to pay the bill.”

Daphne was taken aback. She immediately got up from the couch and stared at Nicholas in disbelief. “You’ve kidnapped me, just for that?”

‘Is this guy crazy?’

“You could say so,” Nicholas replied.

‘Making her my mistress was one of the reasons, the other…’

Daphne took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm. She stared at Nicholas and explained, “Our involvement is only limited to last night. I have no interest in anything else!”

Daphne’s beautiful face was as cold as ice. She looked Nicholas in the eye with an unyielding stare.

Nicholas was unmoved. He admired her interestedly for a moment, then smirked and taunted her in an icy tone. “You’re pretty feisty. You look like such a chaste woman. I was beginning to wonder if you’re that same woman from last night! What? Playing hard to get with me? Looks like you’ve forgotten last night’s warning?”

Nicholas’s dangerous tone made Daphne frown irritably. According to rumor, this man pretty much owned everything in G City, but she never thought that he would be such a sleaze!

‘Playing hard-to-get? What a joke. Just how attractive does he think he is? Do I have to play hard-to-get with him?’

Daphne’s eyes were red with rage. She rose to her feet, refusing to continue her conversation with Nicholas. “Mr. Wolfe, let me be serious with you. I will never be your mistress! And I’m not playing hard to get with you! I will compensate you for damaging your phone.”

The defect on that telephone may seem suspicious, but Daphne admitted to it.

Then, she turned around and left, refusing to look at Nicholas.

She refused to stay here a minute longer and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“You’re going to compensate me? And just how do you plan on giving me the money?”

Nicholas’s cold voice rang from behind her.

‘How do I plan on giving him the money?’

Everyone in G City knew the exact location of Wolfe Enterprises.

Daphne paused in her footsteps, then replied to Nicholas with her back against him, “I’ll send the money over to your off— Ah!”

He pushed her forcefully down onto the ground before she could finish her sentence. She was seeing stars, regardless of how soft the carpet was.

Especially since this man was lying on top of her back, like a heavy mountain, Daphne couldn’t even breathe.

However, catching her breath wasn’t Daphne’s concern at the moment. She was scared. So scared that her body was trembling.

“Does it hurt?” Nicholas’s icy voice breathed into Daphne’s ear. She trembled even more.

“Y-you… Wh-what are you doing? L-let me go…” Even her voice was trembling.

“What’s with that face? That’s not how you looked like last night…”

Nicholas suddenly stopped talking, and Daphne stopped trembling as well.

It wasn’t because she wasn’t afraid anymore, but because… An even more terrifying sensation had engulfed all of Daphne’s senses.

“Ah!”

Daphne’s cries echoed throughout the silent hall.

Daphne’s struggle intensified.

This man had bitten her last night too, but she had forced herself to endure all manner of torturous agony because she was well-aware of her objective.

It was different now. Why did she have to endure it?

“You’re crazy! Let me go! Let me go! You assh*le!”

Daphne struggled as she cursed at him, but it was useless. Something even more terrifying to her happened soon after.

Nicholas was pulling up her skirt!

Daphne immediately held her breath. She finally realized how terrifyingly hot Nicholas’s breath down her back was.

A sense of fear, like never before, had consumed Daphne. Thanks to some unknown source of strength, Daphne suddenly flipped over and successfully escaped from underneath Nicholas’s body. She darted to the side while keeping a close eye on him.

Nicholas’s lustful eyes bore into Daphne with a darkened gaze. He opened his thin, merciless lips and warned, “Try escaping. See if I’ll break your legs!”

She believed him. Why wouldn’t she?

Daphne’s hair was in disarray, and her clothes were a mess. Her chest was heaving rapidly. Her eyes stared at Nicholas fearfully.

She glanced to the side, then suddenly snatched up a china vase next to her and smashed it against the wall.

Nicholas’s gaze sunk. Daphne picked up a broken piece of porcelain and held it against her throat. “The great second heir of Wolfe Enterprises is actually forcing himself on a woman! I’m warning you, Nicholas Wolfe, touch me again, and I will kill myself!” She gasped for breath as she screamed at Nicholas.

She would rather die than suffer this humiliation.

Daphne’s eyes flashed fearlessly, unafraid of death.

Nicholas stared at Daphne. The lust in his eyes gradually dissipated and slowly turned cold. He released a strong, repressive aura.

After a long pause, he finally burst into cold laughter. “You’re threatening me? Good! You’ve successfully caught my attention!”

Not many women in the world would have the nerve to do that to him.

She was the only one who dared to pull this on him three times in a row!

Nicholas got up from the carpet. Even the way he moved into a standing position was unbelievably elegant.

He straightened his collar before speaking in an icy voice. “You won’t be my mistress. You’ve refused to be involved with me in any way… Heh, well, I’m going to make you beg for it! You may go now!”

Daphne stared at Nicholas, too afraid to relax for even one second.

‘What did he say? He’s letting me go?’

Daphne remained very still. She still remembered how he had just pushed her to the ground.

Who knew if this man would pounce on her again if she let her guard down!

“What? Why are you still here? Or would you like to strip now?” Nicholas cocked his head to one side and looked at Daphne.

Of course, Daphne wasn’t going to comply with his wishes. She stared at Nicholas warily, paused, then inched away with her back against the wall.

Nicholas let out a soft, derisive chuckle. His almond eyes fixated on Daphne’s moving figure. “Daphne Mae Montgomery, if you manage to pay me back within one week, I’ll let you off. If not… You’re going to get into bed with me, like a good little girl!”

Daphne’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Nicholas smirked and stared at Daphne with relish. “Furthermore, in addition to the €1,800, I’m going to have to include $9,000,000 to your bill for that blue and white porcelain vase.”

Daphne was completely stunned.

“I’ll be waiting for your payment. Remember, you have one week!” Nicholas icily reminded her. Then, he gave Daphne one final, chilling look and walked toward the staircase.
