Tangled Temptations

Chapter 289

An hour later, the car pulled up at the villa where the couple lived. It was empty, as the house staff had been given time off.

Harvey unbuckled his seatbelt, walked around the car to help Eloise out. She refused. So, he simply lifted her off the ground, carrying her bridal style, undeterred by her struggling limbs.

He turned on the lights as they entered, quickly illuminating the spacious villa.

Eloise was tossed onto the large bed. Her soft body bounced lightly on the plush mattress. Before she could make an attempt to escape, he firmly pinned her hands down. She looked absolutely stunning tonight.

Her anger had her chest heaving, making her even more enticing.

Harvey, who already had a high libido, was further provoked by Max. Unable to resist his urges, he held her wrist with one hand to keep her still, while his other hand held her chin, forcing her into a kiss.

His hot, passionate kiss, filled with desire, was overwhelming.

Eloise didn't want this, not at all. She shook her head from side to side, trying to escape his kiss. "Harvey, don't touch me."

Harvey propped himself up, his breath ragged, and his dark eyes intense. "We're married. Why can't I touch you?"

Eloise struggled for a while, then gave up. She sank into the soft mattress, murmuring, "Because I'm disgusted by you."

Harvey was taken aback. He stared at Eloise lying beneath him, surprised at her words. Did she say she found him disgusting?

Wasn't she... in love with him?

Eloise's lips trembled, and her nose was red, but she bravely held back her tears. "Harvey, if you had even the slightest bit of love for me, you would know how deeply Joan hurt me and Linda. Linda almost lost her life."

"You're now taking care of her sister. You left your family on New Year's to spend days in the mountains.

"Harvey... you're really charming. The young lady was willing to give up her life for you."

Harvey let go of her. Slowly, oh so slowly, he moved back, sitting on her legs. He even felt like lighting up a cigarette.

He stared at her for a long time before asking, "What about you? She was willing to give up her life for me. Eloise, what am I to you?"

Eloise lay on the bed, her mind filled with one thought. To hurt him!
