Chapter 135 - Such Pain

How cruel he was!

Katherine's eyes were full of satisfaction. She tiptoed up and kissed him.

Bella turned around and hid her pain as she walked away.

Charles reached his goal. Bella saw how he treated Katherine and told her he didn't love her.

She was always insignificant to him. If she weren’t obedient, he would punish her, so finally, she gave up the fight.

Just like when she tried to fight his behaviour, but now she learned to obey.

But why did he force her to admit she loved him, why give her the two days of gentleness...

As Bella returned to the car, another vehicle had arrived.

It seemed that he really made a fuss to find Katherine.

All of a sudden, there came a deep voice, “Milady.”

She looked up, and politely smiled, “Mr. Butler.”

“Milady, please call me by my name.”

“If you use my name, I will do the same.”

He lowered his head, “I don't dare to.”

She usually was not talkative, but this moment she did not know why she really wanted to speak. The more she talked, the less pain she felt.

She joked, “All because of the Lord. You dare not speak my name, I dare not speak yours.”

After a while, Charles and Katherine arrived hand in hand.

He found Bella talking and laughing with Ziv.

How could this woman still smile?

Charles opened the door for Katherine and fondled her head, tender and loving.

Ziv averted his eyes and looked at Bella, he could feel her sadness.

Charles closed the door, and looked at Bella, “Back to the villa.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Charles and Katherine were in one car, Bella and Ziv in another.

Bella sat in the back seat, and sounded weak, “Mr. Ziv, do you have water in your car?”

Ziv quickly handed over a bottle of water, “Milady.”

“Thank you.”

Bella raised her head and drank half the bottle of water.

She passed in and out on the way back to the villa. As they came to a stop Ziv woke her up, she looked out of the window and saw the beautiful home where her tormented life continued.

Ziv spoke as she glanced at him, “The Lord sent Katherine to her home in the back.”

Bella felt dizzy, but she went back to her room to shower and laid on her bed.

She must go to bed and go to work early tomorrow to see if her client had left a message.

She sighed, she had been tortured by Charles and did not earn any money.

She wrapped herself in the quilt, and couldn't sleep. No matter what position she tried, Bella could only feel pain in her legs again.

The door opened, and the light in the corridor came through.

She raised her head and saw a very tall silhouette, her chest hurt. Some memories forgotten for exhaustion was continually popping up in her mind.

Charles, is he here to vent Katherine’s anger? What will he do this time? Throw her to the Dolphins? Or toss her against the wall?

She sat up and looked at him. Bella was ready to accept whatever he brought. He wouldn't kill her.

He walked in and closed the door, Charles approached her in the dark. Then he stood by the bed and looked down.

She couldn't see what he looked like in the dark, but she turned her head away from him and waited for him to speak.

She was the witch who had the poisoned apple.

He had startled her, “What are you doing?”

“What are you doing?” He seemed to be at a loss.

He felt reluctant to accept that she saw how he treated Katherine, yet she could still smile when talking with Ziv.  

He untightened his tie, and belt.

She was frightened and hid on the other side of the bed.

Charles knelt and held her by the ankle then pulled her under his body.

He pressed against her firmly and never gave her a chance to escape.

“Charles, what do you want? Let me go. You're crazy.”

He didn’t say a word and tore off her pyjamas.

Her dress was loose and light, and the shoulder strap was easy to remove, exposing her perfect body.

The man didn’t hesitate and pounced on this woman's delicate body.

She screamed, “Go away. Go away. Charles, you can't do this to me, you can't.”

“You said you would have my baby.”

“I promised I'd have your test-tube baby.” She began to cry, “How could you do this to me, you just left Katherine, you said you loved her, did you do this to Katherine? You bastard!”

“Shut up!” As soon as he heard Katherine’s name, he covered her mouth, and his body tightly pressed against her, not allowing her to escape.

“Charles, I must tell her that you climbed into my bed tonight. She would be upset.”

“Shut up, shut up!”

He covered her mouth and nose.

He didn't want to hear Katherine's name right now. 

She struggled, tears gushed out of her eyes which moistened the hands on her face.

How could he be so cruel to her? Why? Because he thought she hurt Katherine? Was this the punishment? Was the punishment when he said he did not love her and then take her body? 

This punishment was a hundred times more painful than when he threw her to the wall.
