What Separates Me and You

Chapter 74 Are You Afraid of Me?

Josephine clenched her fists and looked at Lewis’ unsympathetic face. She was suddenly in a daze. She never knew what was going on in his mind.

Lewis increased pressure on his grip on her chin. “Do you hear me?”

Josephine came to her senses from the pain. She nodded.

He said once more. “This is the last time. If you still don’t listen to me, I’ll break your legs and lock you up. Do you understand?”

Josephine froze. Lewis didn’t seem like he was joking. He really would do it, so she nodded with difficulty.

Lewis let her go and gently caressed her face. “That’s more like it.” He went in to kiss her on the lips, but Josephine remembered the doctor’s warning, so she instinctively turned her head.

to the side.

Lewis narrowed his eyes and brought her face back. He said in a dangerous tone, “Have you already forgotten what I said? You sure are forgetful.”

Josephine frantically wanted to explain herself, but it only made it seem like she was rejecting him. He grabbed her hands, undid his tie, and tied her hands up with it.

Josephine shook her head with all her might, but because she struggled so much, she fell from the sofa to the floor, making her head spin.

She curled up and looked at him pleadingly, her teary eyes filled with apprehension.

Lewis grabbed her by the collar and picked her up. He looked at her closely. “Are you afraid of me?”

Josephine looked at him smiling. Not knowing if it was out of fear or pain in her abdomen, she couldn’t stop trembling.

Lewis smiled creepily. His smile did not reach his eyes. “Why?” He looked Josephine in the eyes as if trying to find an answer in them. “Why are you afraid of me?”

Josephine shut her eyes and turned her head to the side. Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She wanted to know why as well. They were not like that before. Was it because she had gotten greedy, wanting his love and freedom at the same time, which was why she was doomed not to get anything?

She trembled violently, and the smile on Lewis’ face slowly faded away. The next second, he hugged her tightly as if he was about to crush her.

His tone changed. He said softly in her ears, “Don’t be afraid. Just listen to me as you did in the past, and we’ll be fine.”
