Chapter 905
Chapter 909:
Milton glanced at her, his gaze steady and composed. With a leisurely demeanor, he responded, “First and foremost, whether you desire it or not, the outcome remains the same. Secondly, believe it or not, even if you don’t cooperate with me in this matter, I can obtain the marriage certificate independently. Therefore, I show you enough respect. Otherwise, I wouldn’t provide you with any alternatives. Instead, I would present the certificate to you after I have acquired it.”
“How could you…”
Candice was left speechless, her mind grappling with the audacity of his words. How could he so casually dismiss her concerns and impose his own will upon her? He made it sound like giving her a few options to choose from was already a gift.
“What do you mean by saying that the result will be the same regardless of my wishes?” Candice inquired, her voice trembling with disbelief.
In an instant, Milton pulled her closer, enveloping her in his embrace. The intimacy of their proximity caused Candice’s cheeks to flush a deep shade of crimson.
“Consider yourself fortunate that I am in a good mood today,” he murmured, his voice tinged with a hint of arrogance. “Otherwise, I would not have allowed you to utter so many words challenging my authority.”
Candice was rendered speechless.
His fingers lightly grazed her delicate skin, his sharp gaze betraying a trace of anger.
“What do you mean? Don’t you agree with me? Who else do you envision yourself with, if not me?”
Before Candice could respond, Milton warned her sternly, “Let me make this clear, even if you were to consider leaving me, no one would dare to marry you.”
Shocked by his serious demeanor, Candice responded with confusion, “Why?”
Her casual question only seemed to exasperate Milton further.
In an instant, he turned abruptly, pressing her against his strong frame. His overwhelming presence sent shivers down her spine, filling her with trepidation.
“Who dares? I will destroy him. I will strip him of his fortune and leave him with nothing, compelling him to release you and surrender you to me, willingly and obediently, in the end.”

Candice found herself rendered speechless once again.
His words carried an air of arrogance and lacked reason. Yet, despite the audacity of his claims, she couldn’t deny that his words warmed her heart.
At this very moment, Candice was overcome with a sense of loss. Her tear-filled eyes blurred her sight.
She retraced the entire journey of their acquaintance, as Milton had slowly but surely forced her, never allowing her a moment’s rest. She had obediently and passively listened to him, uncertain if she had yielded or if she had fallen in love with him. Candice found herself under Milton’s sway, willingly surrendering to his control.
“What if you don’t want me?” Candice suddenly asked.
As the words escaped her lips, she felt a suffocating weight. There was nothing Milton couldn’t have, except for what he didn’t desire. And Candice had already become his possession. But what if he didn’t want her? Candice had already tasted the pain before experiencing it. Only then did she realize the depth of her love for him. She held her breath, waiting for Milton’s response.
