Rewriting My Heart's Fate

"I really... can't stay," I told him.

"What did you say?" Ethan froze, lifting his eyes to look at me. "You still want to leave, huh? Do you really think you'll be able to escape now? Call the police if you want to. But are you sure you have the heart to do that?" He'd barely finished speaking when he scooped me up in his arms and strode over to the desk in the corner of the room.

I yelped, scared that I'd fall to the ground. My hands subconsciously shot up to hook themselves around his neck.

In the next instant, I was roughly thrown onto the desk. And before I knew it, Ethan was already on top of me.

"This is my final warning," he whispered in my ear. "Don't leave me, or I'll..."

As his voice trailed off, he forcefully pried my legs apart. I froze and started trembling.

How could he do this to me? At this moment, he seemed like a ravenous beast. I struggled against Ethan with all my might, but the more I struggled, the more excited and gruff he became.

"Stop resisting," he said into my ear. "You are mine. No one can take you away."

That said, he forcefully pushed my legs apart with his knee.

"Ah!" My cries filled the air as tears fell, and my body arched from the pain.
