Eric's gazes locked with Hadley’s.
A heavy silence enveloped them for several moments.
The only sound was the gentle falling of snow.
Eric's face was set in a stern expression.
He looked at her intently, his voice barely above a whisper, saying, “Did you spend the entire night with him?”
Hadley responded, “Yes, but...”
“Ha!”
Eric interrupted sharply, “Yes?”
His eyes darkened menacingly.
“Hadley!”
In a swift motion, he reached out and firmly held her chin, his face inches from hers, his lips curling into a cold
smirk.
“Was this your plan all along? You gave Linda the dress on purpose, to miss the party and see him instead,
right?”
Hadley recoiled, shocked by his sudden aggression.
Nearby, Denver, witnessing the tense exchange, stepped in quickly. “Eric, you've got it wrong. Hadley had an
accident last night. | was merely helping her get to the hospital...”
“Shut up!”
Eric's eyes blazed with anger as he turned towards Denver.
“And you!”
In a swift motion, he seized Denver by the shirt collar.
“Thinking you can touch my girlfriend? You're really looking for trouble!”
Mid-sentence, Eric swung his fist, connecting forcefully with Denver.
“Ah!”
Denver, still unbalanced, couldn't retaliate and crumpled to the ground, his complexion paling from the shock

of the blow.
“Denver!”
Hadley cried out in horror.
Witnessing Denver's fall, she was overwhelmed by a sense of doom. Did misfortune befall everyone who
showed her kindness?
Acting on impulse, she stepped in front of Denver, attempting to shield him from Eric.
She then raised her eyes to Eric. “Stop! Everything Denver told you is accurate!”
Her gaze desperate, she suddenly clung to Eric's legs. “Denver, run! Get out of here!”
“Hadley?” Denver paused, reluctant to leave. “What if he turns on you...”
“He won't do it!” Hadley pleaded urgently, “Please, just leave! He won't strike me.”
She was confident that Eric, despite his quick temper, would not harm a woman.
“Leave now! Staying will only complicate things further!”
With her insistent pleas, Denver was eventually pulled away by his driver.
Eric gazed at Hadley, who was still clinging to his legs, feeling a profound bitterness swelling within him.
“Hadley! You're supposed to be my girlfriend! How do you think this looks? Do you even seeas your
boyfriend anymore?”
The thought was unbearable. “You were with Denver all night. What exactly happened between you two? Hmm?”
Did it mirror the times they had spent together, sharing hugs, kisses and more... The mere idea inflamed him
with jealousy!
“Hadley! Have you lost your senses? To go this far for Denver? If he was really dependable, he wouldn't have let
you fall into Wilma’s trap!”
His disappointment was evident, his gaze cold and distant.
“Eric.”
Hadley’s heart skipped a beat, alarmed by the intensity in his gaze.
What kind of expression was that? It reminded her of someone who had caught their spouse cheating. That must
have been how Eric felt.
She clasped his arm anxiously. “Please, you have to believe me, | didn’t betray you! | was really just at the
hospital all night!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes!” Hadley responded, her head bobbing vigorously.
“No, that can’t be true!”
In a swift movement, Eric stooped, scooping her off the ground. “Stand up. We're leaving!”

He hoisted her into his arms and strode towards the car.
The car door slammed with such force it seemed to echo through Hadley’s chest. She bit her lip anxiously.
“Where are we going?”
Eric remained silent, avoiding her gaze.
He ignited the engine, floored the accelerator, and the car surged ahead rapidly.
Peering out the window, Hadley recognized the path they were taking. They were on their way to the secluded
Silver Villas.
He was speeding, yet the early snow-covered morning meant fewer cars on the road, allowing them to reach
their destination swiftly.
As they approached, the car turned into the driveway and sped towards the garage.
Eric hit the brakes hard, causing the tires to screech and sparks to fly from the friction with the ground.
Observing his darkening silhouette, a cold fear gripped Hadley. She quickly unfastened her seatbelt, opening her
mouth to speak tentatively.
“Eric, um...”
Before she could finish, he pushed her back against the seat.
Simultaneously, the seat clicked back into a reclined position, forcing Hadley to lie down. Next thing she knew,
Eric loomed over her.
Her eyes widened in alarm. “What are you doing?”
“I can’t wait any longer!”
Eric reached towards her throat. “You said nothing happened between you and Denver last night? Alright, I'll find
out for myself right now!”
What? Hadley was shocked, instantly grasping the implications.
“Stop, please!”
Hadley frantically shook her head, her hands pushing against his chest as she attempted to fend him off.
“I said no! This isn’t what I want!”
“You don’t want?”
Consumed by jealousy, Eric seemed deaf to her protests.
“Why not? Haven't we been intimate before? After reuniting with your ex, do you consider yourself too good for
Such absurdity!
Anger flushed Hadley’s face pale, her body shaking with rage. In a swift motion, she struck him across the face.
“Bastard! Eric, you're a bastard!”
“I'm a bastard?”

His face twisted with fury, Eric's anger intensified following the slap.
He clenched his jaw. “So I'm the bastard, huh? In your eyes, I'll never stack up to Denver!”
“Yes!” Hadley’s voice was raw as she yelled, her eyes bloodshot with emotion.
“Denver is far superior to you! He embodies true gentility, integrity, and honor. Can you even begin to compare?
You're unworthy!”
“You!”
Eric’s hand shot up, his fist tight, hovering in the air, but he restrained himself from striking.
“Ha!”
His laugh was dark and menacing.
“True, I'm unworthy! Denver may be better in every way, but what does that matter now? You belong to me!”
With that declaration, he bent down and pressed his lips against hers aggressively.
“Ugh!”
Hadley flinched in pain.
This was no kiss; it was as if he was biting her, trying to consher.
Trapped in the tight confines of the car, Hadley fought desperately, but her strength was no match for his.
“Stop, please stop... Mmm...”
Yet, Eric, lost in a feral rage, seemed oblivious to her pleas.
The pain was unbearable. Hadley had never felt such intense agony-it was as if she was being ripped in two.
Flashes of memory crossed her mind....
Exhausted, Hadley eventually shut her eyes, unable to fend him off any longer.
“Hadley, Hadley.”
Eric kept calling her name, his fingers entwined in her hair, his tone thick with bitter possession.
“You're all mine, only mine!”
