“No? Why not?” Han gripped her waist, his voice cold, and he said, “What exactly are you pretending to be pure about? Ian has most likely slept with you on numerous occasions. How dare you refuse me when your body has already been tainted?”

Leah looked at Han in disbelief.

Why would he say such a thing about himself? She didn’t do anything with Ian.

“Han, stop talking nonsense. Nothing happened between me and Ian,” stated Leah.

Han sneered and exclaimed, “Why is he so keen to help you if nothing has happened between you two? Such nonsense can fool children, but not me.” He said that while violently attempting to unbutton her pajamas.

Leah inhaled deeply and pushed Han away with all her might.

Han disregarded her protest and firmly clamped her hands down.

During the struggle, his patience had finally run out.

“Slap!”

There was a sudden crisp sound in the air.

Leah turned her head slightly, her eyes instantly turning red.

She pursed her lips and bit her lower lip hard to keep the tears at bay.

Han slapped her again.

That wasn’t the first time he had slapped her.

When Han saw her silent appearance, he became very agitated.

He climbed down from on top of her and glared fiercely at her. “If you are so capable,” he continued, “you can pose as a chaste girl for the rest of your life.”

He turned around angrily and slammed the door behind him after saying that.

After Han left, Leah was rendered immobile as a wave of humiliation washed over her from head to toe. She felt like she had been cast aside like a piece of rag.

An unspecified amount of time passed as she lay there huddled before she finally slowly collected herself and got out of bed.

Her eyes were lifeless and numb as she walked slowly and heavily to the bathroom to wash herself. She then climbed back into bed in a state of confusion and somehow managed to fall asleep.

Leah slept until ten o’clock the next morning.

She had spent so many days at the Howard residence, but Han had never once told her that he was going to help her in finding Charlie.

Leah looked in the mirror, took a handful of water, and splashed it on her face.
