Forbidden Passion

Chapter 52 What A Beast

As soon as Jack heard his tone, he knew his mood wasn't good. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, silently praying for Phoebe in his heart, hoping she wouldn't defy Theodore too much. Phoebe heard Theodore asking Jack to get out of the car, and she started to feel nervous. She quickly pushed open the car door, wanting to get out as well.

However, before her hand could touch the car door, Theodore pulled her back with a strong grip. Her vision blurred, spinning around, by the time she reacted, she found herself pinned down by him on the spacious backseat. Phoebe struggled desperately, "Theodore, what are you doing? I don't want this!"

"You have no reason to refuse!" Theodore caught her hand and pressed it against the headrest. He leaned down to kiss her neck.

Tears streamed down Phoebe's face as her whole body trembled unnaturally. Indescribable pain and despair dragged her remaining sanity into darkness.

She shouted hoarsely, "If you don't love me, then don't touch me."

Theodore paused his actions and sneered, "Is this the new way Edward taught you to reject me? Phoebe, you are truly naive."

Phoebe's tears flowed even more fiercely, "No!"

"In the adult world, who cares about love? It's all pretentious!" Theodore looked disdainful. He didn't want love, he only wanted her by his side.

Hearing his contemptuous words, Phoebe's heart shattered like glass shards. Why did she fall for such a man? He claimed that talking about love was melodramatic, yet he had once been so crazily in love with Vanessa. Perhaps, he mocked her love, which was why he could ruthlessly hurt her, forcefully take her against her will. She closed her eyes, tears streaming freely.
