Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1305 Illuminated Desire

Ann caught sight of the caller ID. It was him.

"What is it?" the man holding her slurred into the phone. "You want me to come now? But I don't want to. You don't need to worry about me. Everyone at the gathering revolves around you anyway. It doesn't matter if I show up."

He pressed himself against Ann, smirking as she trembled.

"Besides," he continued, "I've found a pretty little thing on the road. Haven't had my fill yet. Can't bear to leave her."

After a few seconds of silence, the voice on the other end asked, "So whose mess am I cleaning up this time?"

The man's face contorted with rage as he tore at Ann's dress.

"Cleaning up my mess? I was born into this family-I'll do whatever the hell I want! Just because you don't indulge, don't lecture me on how to live. Don't think I don't know everyone's kissing your ass. If you didn't hold all the power, none of them would give you the time of day."

"Let me go!" Ann struggled violently, falling to the ground from his grasp.

"I suggest you behave," he snapped. "I'm not above getting rough with women. Don't please me tonight, and I might just end you. Understand?"

His threats carried clearly through the phone to the man in the tailored suit on the other end, whose brow furrowed. That voice sounded disturbingly like Ann's. But she should be safely waiting in the car.

"Come or don't. Your choice." He hung up.

Meanwhile, Ann clutched her dress tightly, face drained of color. The man crouched down and yanked her to her feet.
