Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 193

By the time Claire realized what was happening, she was already seething with anger and embarrassment.

She struggled fiercely, pushing against Brian with all her might. But Brian held her tightly, as if trying to meld her body into his.

Claire felt suffocated, her anger and humiliation reaching a boiling point.

In a sudden move, she bit down hard on Brian's lip.

Breathing heavily, Claire wiped her lips with disgust and anger in her eyes.

"Brian, you are utterly shameless! You make me sick."

Her words hit Brian like a dagger to his heart.

He waited patiently for her release, dreaming of marrying her, never touching another woman. He'd even saved his first kiss for her, yet she found him disgusting?
