Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 621

He did it for his son and for himself. It was a must.

"I haven't even had the chance to say 'I love you,' Whitney."

Whitney shot back, "Dream on. Even after being your prisoner for a month, the moment I get back, I'm cutting ties with you for good! And if I happen to get pregnant, I'll end it without hesitation!"

Ludwik felt her harsh words cut through him, the thought of her wanting to terminate his child was unbearable.

His jaw clenched, a cold resolve in his eyes, "If you're thinking of terminating again, I'll have no choice but to keep you here until the baby is born, a year from now."

Before Whitney could explode in anger, he calmly added, "Don't doubt my capabilities. I can easily keep you confined on this island for a year. You might not be aware, but Lippert Enterprises is in partnership with Skyfaith Technologies. Soon, the world's most advanced chip, WisdoChip, will revolutionize the market and elevate the Lippert family to the pinnacle of success. Just think about it, with my standing in Harmonia, who could possibly challenge me?"

His tone was even, but his words were filled with outrageous confidence.

Whitney was stunned. Lippert Enterprises had indeed formed a powerful alliance with Skyfaith, which was dominating the high-end market in Harmonia.

This move had significantly boosted Lippert Enterprises' position, making Ludwik's name synonymous with invincibility. It seemed no law or leader could touch him now.

His warm breath enveloped her, a gentle caress yet also a dark shadow, "Darling, bear me a daughter, and everything I have will be for our three children. If not for yourself, think about their future. All my business ventures would be meaningless without you and the kids. You and they give my life meaning. Do you understand?"

Whitney shuddered internally. Why couldn't he have realized this sooner? His obsession was terrifying.

In her reluctance to accept his forced affections, she felt immense pain and resentment.

Ludwik kissed her forehead softly.

Her forehead was clouded with confusion, unable to relax.

He smiled, lifting a corner of his mouth confidently, "Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe spending every day here with me, enjoying the sweet moments, you might fall back in love with me. Remembering the feeling of loving someone just takes a little review. Let's have a little faith in each other, after all, we've loved deeply before."
