What Separates Me and You

Chapter 252 Control Yourself

Josephine kept shaking her head. That man… He wasn’t Lewis at all.

However, he gripped his chin without respecting her wishes and leaned down to capture her lips with his own.

The young woman could only grit her teeth while attempting to turn her head away to avoid that kiss. At the same time, she was crying desperately.

Her bound hands were already chaffed, thanks to the tight bonds. Specks of blood seeped out of the chaffings, soon staining the tie. Josephine’s fingers dug into her palms in despair, her knuckles already whitening from the excessive force.

Lewis kissed her lips before moving to the tips of her ears. After that, he slid down to her neck.

Josephine could only stare up at the ceiling, completely engulfed by despair at this point. Hot tears kept sliding into her hairline from the corners of her eyes. Even so, she continued to struggle against Lewis, even though it was futile. As a result, the bedsheets were kicked into a messy heap.

She didn’t want to look at the face which was hovering above her head. That man, the one who wore Lewis’ face, was doing improper and bad things to her. The young woman was afraid that if she were to look at him, she might mistake him for the real Lewis who was doing those things to her.

However, Lewis refused to grant her wish. Instead, he gripped her chin yet again and forced her to look at his face.

“Can you see me clearly now? Am I the person you’re looking for?”

By then, Josephine’s eyes were already red and puffy from all the crying. Tears continued to roll down her temples, thus wetting the roots and locks of her head even more. Her hair tie was already lost during the struggle, so her long hair was messily splayed across the white bedsheets.

It was a beautiful sight to behold if one were to ignore the disgust and anger in her eyes.

Lewis chuckled at that moment. The laughter bubbling from the depths of his throat was filled with anger, yet there was also a sense of self-deprecation.

Had Josephine insisted on looking for other people, he could always kill them in the blink of

an eye.

However, she was looking for a younger version of Lewis Alvarez before he had turned 20 years old.

How on earth could Lewis track down his younger self?

His eyes grew colder as he grabbed a nearby pillow and covered Josephine’s eyes to block out the damned emotions swirling within.

A strong sense of asphyxiation overcame Josephine immediately. Soon, waves of dizziness followed. Eventually, she gave up on struggling.

Ultimately, she embraced the darkness that swallowed up her vision and consciousness.
