Chapter 1069

"Brielle, look at me!"

His grip on her chin was like a beast pushed to its edge, ferocious and unyielding.

Brielle winced, wanting to push him away, but the pain was too intense, sapping her strength.

Every cell in her body screamed in agony, her complexion turning ghostly pale. She was powerless to escape his grasp.

If it had been Max, he would never have treated her like this.

Her icy stare met his, tears brimming from the pain. Seeing Max's face only made her world feel more surreal and torn apart.

It felt like a nightmare.

She raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.

His head snapped to the side, the taste of blood filling his mouth.

Touching his face, he glared down at her, eyes burning with intensity.

Her eyes, filled with familiar disdain, cut through him.

King couldn't understand how they could be so close physically but worlds apart emotionally.

Nobody had ever taught him that.

So, he covered her eyes with his hand, moving quicker now.

To silence her harsh words, he leaned down and kissed her forcefully.

Like a coward deceiving himself.
