Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone as he looked up at the window upstairs that was still lit up.

After hesitating for a long time, he pushed open the door and got out of the car, walking upstairs quickly.

When the man pushed open the door and entered the suite, Esther was sitting on the sofa watching TV out of boredom. When she saw him return, she immediately stood up from the sofa. “Terence, you’re back?”

Terence stared at her, his eyes deep and cold.

Esther did not know what was going on and thought that he was still angry about what had happened in front of Mr. Russell today.

She said apologetically, “Terence, I’m sorry. In front of Mr. Russell this morning… I had no choice but to lie. I did this to help you take this land. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Do you really want to take that piece of land?” Terence approached her, grabbed her chin and looked down at her coldly. “Why?”

When Esther saw how furious he was, she felt nervous. “I think you want that piece of land. That’s why I wanted it.”

“Because I want it?” Terence took a step forward and forced her to the wall. “Just because I like it, you didn’t hesitate to take such a valuable painting to please Mr. Russell? You investigated my past clearly and made up such a lie in front of Mr. Russell? Esther, don’t you feel guilty or pain when doing these things?”

Pain? Of course she felt pain. The painting was passed down from her grandfather. When she lied, she smiled, but she felt her heart was bleeding.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The person who knew and fell in love with Terence in the Fairy Mountain was not her, but the Miss Shirly who had lived in his heart from the beginning to the end. That place was full of memories of the two of them and traces of their love. And she had to bear the pain to help him take the land for him to gain a foothold in the Gibson family.

She pushed Terence’s chest with both hands and stared at him. “Terence, no matter what, I have already helped you take the land. Not only did you make a contribution in front of your father, but also fulfilled your and Miss Shirly’s dream. I don’t ask you to repay me, but only ask you to forgive a small lie I told in front of Mr. Russell. Is it difficult?”

“Is it for Shirly and me, or for yourself?”

“What do you mean?”

“In order to stop Anne from marrying James, you have put in a lot of effort and used all your means.” Terence sneered. “You are obviously doing this for your selfish desires, yet you insist on using such a high-sounding reason to cover yourself up. How long are you going to be so hypocritical?”

“To stop Anne from marrying James?” Esther stared at him in disbelief.

“Isn’t it? Do you dare to say that you never thought so? Never thought that you would come back to James one day?”

“I…” Esther suddenly became lost for word. She admitted that she did want to stop Anne from marrying into the Gibson family, but that was only because she wanted to take revenge on what the two of them had done to her before. She never thought about returning to James after stopping Anne.

She no longer wanted or loved James.

Marriage was not a game. Even if she and James wanted to reconcile, would the elders of the Gibson family agree?

Her silence deeply stimulated Terence’s nerves. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips, one hand tightly holding her body.

Esther was startled and instinctively struggled. “Terence, what are you doing? Let go of me!”

“Let go of you? Why should I let you go? To return you to James?” Terence could not calm down at all when he thought of her ambiguous gaze with James during the day and the message that Anne sent him.

Esther shook her head anxiously. “I never thought so!”

“No? Then why did you try so hard in front of Mr. Russell this morning?” Along with his angry roar, the cheongsam on Esther’s body was torn open by him, and a trace of coolness instantly hit her skin.

A cheongsam was ruined by him just like that. Esther was angry and helpless. She could only try her best to beg, “Terence, can you calm down and listen to my explanation? What I did today really has nothing to do with James. It’s all for you!”

“For me? If you did it for me and care about me, then immediately quiet down and act like a wife!” If he had not just heard the voice message that Anne had sent him, Terence might have tried to believe it and would not have been so angry, but…

“Terence, you are crazy! Stop!” Esther was willing to act like a wife, and she didn’t want to resist him on purpose, but at this moment, he was too agitated. She was worried that he would hurt himself and hurt her.

Having sex should happen when both of them were happy and willing. How can it be so irritable and so hateful like now? What was the difference between this and rape?

However, the more she resisted, the more Terence didn’t let her go.

He picked her up from the ground and violently tore apart her clothes.

Awkward, shameful… Countless feelings simultaneously struck Esther’s mind. She felt that she could not escape tonight.

With Terence’s crazy attitude at this time, even if she escaped, he, who could not get to vent, could be driven crazy by himself.

Since he had to be like this, then she could only cooperate and act as a wife as he said.

In any case, it was not the first time she had sex with him, so why should she be obsessed with the form and process?

She finally stopped struggling and let him do as he pleased.

Feeling her discomfort, he looked up and stared at her watery eyes. “You and James have been together for more than a year, right?”

Understanding what he meant, Esther was ashamed and angry. She angrily retorted, “Although James was not good, at least he respects me and will never force me to do what I do not want to do!”

Although she later found out that James did not touch her not because he respected her, but because there were too many women around him. There were plenty of women who were more beautiful than her. There was no need to force a woman who was not good in bed.

As for why it hurt, she did not understand. It was clear that on the night of the wedding, she had already been with Terence…

Had it never happened between her and him that night? Was everything that had happened just her own imagination?

Thinking of this possibility, she felt even more embarrassed and wished that she could vanish immediately.
