Semua Bab Five Years Later, He Goes Wild for Her Again: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The four years Natalie Sherman spent with Austin Chandler were the happiest years of her life. After the breakup…She spent the next five years tearfully grieving the relationship. While she didn't cry every day, whenever she thought of him, a heavy gloom gripped her heart. It made her feel suffocated, and her eyes would grow wet along with it.Never in her wildest dreams did she ever think she'd run into Austin again—and especially not at Shane Barnett's dinner gathering.The moment she entered the noisy private room, her gaze locked onto a familiar side profile. Her heart lurched, catching her completely off guard. She felt as if a bomb had exploded in her head. All sound and color seemed to fade from the world.All she could see was Austin.He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black pants that highlighted his tall, muscular frame. He carried himself with an air of sophistication and indifferent detachment. Even his side profile alone made him look so handsome that it felt

Austin grabbed Natalie's wrists and pinned them hard against the wall above her head. Like a feral beast, he kissed her frenziedly. She could no longer hold back her tears. They slowly slid down her cheeks, but even then, he showed no sign of stopping.She truly couldn't take it anymore, so she bit down hard on his lip. Wincing in pain, he released her at last.The Austin she knew had always been gentle. Judging by how fierce and aggressive he was acting now, she figured he probably loathed her more than anything else. The thought made her heart clench painfully.Austin continued to keep her wrists restrained, refusing to let go. His hot breath brushed against her cheek."Since you disappeared from my world, you should've disappeared for good and not let me see you again," he said, his voice hoarse and cold as ice, each word like a blade carving into her heart.The pain in Natalie's chest made her feel like her heart was being torn apart. She could barely breathe through the agony

Natalie was genuinely terrified this time.Austin had no qualms about forcing a kiss on her in the bustling restaurant of a luxury hotel the last time. It was now past 2:30 am, and the corridor of the apartment building was silent and empty. She had no idea what else he might do to her."I… I didn't know you'd come here, too." Her voice trembled as she pressed tightly against the door, looking ready to knock and scream for help at any moment. "I didn't mean to appear in front of you."Austin's expression darkened. He walked over to the trash bin in the corner, stamping out his cigarette before tossing it. Then, he pressed the elevator button. When the doors opened, he looked back at her."Not leaving?" His tone was flat.Natalie took a deep breath. With a nervous heart, she slowly walked over. Was he really not going to have a fit of some kind again? Had he been waiting for her?Once she was inside the elevator, she pressed herself against the wall in the farthest corner, still u

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and everything else in the background fell lifeless and silent. It was as though the only person entering Natalie's vision was Austin, and nothing else.He was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt paired with black pants. He looked handsome, radiant, and clean-cut. His exceptionally handsome features and robust physique made him appear exceptionally noble and elegant, even though he was just wearing a regular work outfit.His eyes were deep and dark, making Natalie feel uneasy and on guard.Emily brought over his slippers and put them by his feet."Here, Aust. Change into your slippers."Austin didn't respond, continuing to stare intently at Natalie.Emily forced a smile and explained, "It's about my trademark infringement case. A friend recommended this law firm, but I didn't think that they would send her here."Natalie frowned as she glared at Emily. How could she just lie and say that "she had no idea"?Austin turned to look at

It was pitch black outside the window as the wind howled in Natalie's ears.She went up to the curtains and drew them. Then, she went over to the wardrobe and opened it.There were indeed clothes inside, but very few of them. There were only two expensive-looking evening dresses and a cream-colored slip dress meant to be used as a nightie.There wasn't anything else inside, let alone any new or unworn underwear.Natalie took the slip dress down from the hanger and went into the attached bathroom to freshen up. There were disposable toiletries and disposable towels inside on the vanity table.After taking a warm shower and drying her hair, Natalie came out of the bathroom at around 8:30 pm. She seldom ate on time regularly, which was the reason for her gastritis. If she went too long without eating, her gastric issues would flare up at once.She hadn't eaten dinner yet, and now, she could literally feel her stomach acid burning into the lining of her stomach, causing a dull ache.
