Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 180 If You Don't Eat, I'll Make Love to You

I tried like crazy to push him away, but I just couldn't match his strength.

He didn't even acknowledge my protests.

His kisses were full of anger and force; it felt like he was biting my lips. It hurt like hell.

Faris tried to pry my teeth open, but I kept my jaw clenched tight, not giving him a chance.

Out of nowhere, he pinched my chin, and the pain made me let my guard down. He took that moment to invade my mouth.

The unfamiliar breath and slippery sensation made me feel completely humiliated.

I knew that no matter how much I fought back, I was at his mercy.

As tears streamed down, I gave up struggling.

But then, Faris suddenly stopped. He let go of my lips and stared at me, breathing heavily.

I tried hard to hold back my tears, but they just kept coming.

He bit his lower lip, and for a second, I thought I saw regret in his eyes.

At that moment, his impulsiveness seemed to fade, and he was much calmer.

He reached out to wipe away my tears, his touch gentle, but his tone was still overbearing. "If you don't eat, I'll make love to you." After saying that, he helped me up and handed me the utensils.

"Hurry up and eat." His tone and gaze were threatening.

I picked up the utensils, walked over to the table, and slowly started eating.

Faris moved the plate of pork ribs in front of me. "Eat the meat."

Looking at the greasy pork ribs, my stomach churned.

I put down the bowl and rushed to the trash can, retching.

I hadn't eaten for a while, so there was nothing to throw up except some stomach acid, but I just had this intense urge to vomit.

Faris seemed a bit lost. "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

I didn't say anything; my stomach felt awful, like something was pulling everything inside upwards.

He handed me some water, and I rinsed my mouth with it. After a while, I straightened up.

He poured me a cup of warm water to drink. "Could you be pregnant?"

Hearing him say that, I choked on the water and started coughing violently.

He quickly patted my back. "You can even choke on water, impressive."

I put down the cup, my mind in turmoil.

Counting the days, my period was indeed late. I had always wanted a child. If I were really pregnant, I should be overjoyed. But I couldn't feel any happiness at the moment.

It couldn't be that coincidental; maybe it was just my empty stomach acting up.

"So what do you want to eat? You can't just eat nothing." Faris seemed pretty worried.

I shook my head, not feeling like eating anything at all.
