Your Love Is But a Dream

Chapter 272

The slap landed hard, and Katrina nearly put all her strength into it.

Carlisle's eyes widened in shock as the impact caused his face to snap sharply to the side.

Katrina's palm tingled. She felt disgusted as she looked at Carlisle, whom she had once shared everything with. "Carlisle, you repulse me," she spat.

With that, she turned to leave.

A hint of disbelief crossed Carlisle's face as he looked up at her. He couldn't comprehend why the ever-passive Katrina was standing up to him like this. Even worse, she had struck him again.

The pain on his cheek, burning from the slap, served as a constant reminder of what had just transpired.

His eyes darkened, and the fury he had been holding in for so long finally burst free. He swiftly walked toward Katrina and grabbed her wrist, pulling her roughly back into his embrace.

"Let go of me!" Katrina shouted, struggling fiercely to break free from his hold.

"Let go?" Carlisle sneered, tightening his grip around her waist as a storm seemed to brew in his eyes. "I've really spoiled you, haven't I? You hit me, and now you want to run away?"

"You're despicable!" Katrina spat.
