Chapter 214
214 When Adam wanted to humiliate someone , he never held back .
He stripped them of every shred of dignity , cutting them down to the bone without a second thought .
Celine hadnt asked Hailey to call him .
But even if she had , so what ? He was the one who hadnt used protection in the first place ! I understand .
Dont worry , I wont call you again , Mr.
You can leave now , Celine said , her voice brittle .
She lifted her head , forcing herself to hold back the tears stinging her eyes .
She was determined not to let them fall , not in front of him .
Adams sharp gaze caught the redness in her eyes , and an odd , twisted satisfaction stirred in his chest .
It was as though her pain fed his need for revenge .
He hated her .
He hated her for not coming that night .
He had called Leo deliberately , knowing Leo would go looking for her .
But she hadnt shown up .
And now , he hated her even more for calling him when she fainted She had called him over because of a birth control pill taken for Nathan , as if he was nothing more than some tool to be used at her convenience .
Adams thin lips curled into a sneer .
His voice came out cold and cutting , like shards of ice .
Lets get divorced as soon as possible .
Well keep it from Grandma for now , but we can finalize the paperwork- Before he could finish , Celine grabbed the nearest pillow and hurled it at him with all the strength she could muster .
Get out ! The pillow struck his handsome face before falling to the floor .
In an instant , Adam closed the distance between them .
Leaning down , he pinned her to the bed in one swift motion .
Celine struggled , but Adams grip was unyielding He caught her wrists , pressing them firmly to the sides of the bed .
His tone was sharp , cutting through the air like a whip .
Celine , who gave you the right to lay a hand on me ? Have I been too lenient with you ? Celine desperately held back the flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm her , but it was no use .
Tears spilled from her eyes , fat droplets streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls .
Her vision blurred .
She was crying Adams chest tightened as he watched her .
A moment ago , he had wanted to see her break down , but now , her tears only unsettled him .
She was always like t like this twisting his emotions and leaving him restless and unsure .
Celine sniffled , her reddened nose twitching slightly as she choked out , her voice cracking with emotion , Adam , I hate you … I really , really hate you … To make her feelings unmistakable , she repeated the words several times , each one laced with raw pain .
Crying , she told him just how much she hated him .
Adam knew exactly what kind of woman she was always trying to seduce men .
Even now , at this moment , she was trying to manipulate him .
His Adams apple bobbed as his throat t tightened , his voice coming out low and hoarse .
And why do you hate me ? She was the one in the wrong .
She was still his wife ! Tears streamed down Celines pale face , her voice trembling as her grievance burst out in a wave of emotion that hit him like a storm Because you dont want me … because you always take advantage of the fact that I like you to hurt me .
Hed said once that he wanted her .
But he didnt .
chester 214 In all the years they had been married , he had never treated her well .
All he ever did was hurt her , again and again .
She really , really hated him .
Why did he have to treat her this way ? Adam felt something shift in his chest , an unfamiliar sensation creeping in a dull ache mixed with a tingle of guilt and an overwhelming numbness .
He opened his mouth , wanting to say something , but then his eyes dropped to her collar .
The way he had her pinned revealed the delicate curve of her collarbone beneath the neckline of her shirt .
His gaze froze when he noticed the faint love bites scattered across her skin .
The bruises trailed downward , vanishing into the fabric of her clothing .
Adam didnt need to see the rest to imagine how wild and heated things must have been between her and Nathan .
A sharp , blood red fury ignited in his long , narrow eyes , obliterating the fleeting softness he had felt just moments ago .
This was her way of playing men , of seducing them .
She didnt care about him at all .
Adam let go of her abruptly , moving to sit on the edge of the bed .
Celine shifted , turning onto her side with her back to him .
She used her hands to roughly wipe the tears from her face .
I can get divorced anytime .
Just let me know when youve chosen a date .
