Chapter 47: I Gave You A Chance
As Kate had many emotions in her heart, she tossed and turned in bed and could not sleep.
Tristan went back to the bedroom and showed her the new cell phone, saying generously, “Make a call to Jimmy. He had called several times.”
Kate saw the number on the screen and got nervous. She wanted to grab the phone, but Tristan raised it to a height she could not reach. And then he dialed the number slowly and gave it to her. Kate didn’t want to talk with Jimmy at this time, so she pressed hang up.
Tristan raised his eyebrows and made a long face. “This is your only chance. If you don’t take it, you will have to wait for one month.”
He got the effect he wanted-Kate’s eyes widened.
Tristan dialed Jimmy’s number again and gave the phone to Kate. She didn’t hang up this time.
After two beeps, the call went through. Jimmy’s voice sounded. “Kate?”
“Hey. It’s me.”
Kate wanted to lift up the quilt and get off the bed, but Tristan grabbed her wrist.
She turned back to see Tristan’s mouth, pronouncing the word “here” silently.
Kate knew it. She would not be that good-hearted.
“Where have you been these days? I haven’t been able to get in touch with you.”
Jimmy’s voice showed obvious anxiety and concern.
Kate’s mouth moved, and she saw Tristan’s expression. His face said, I see how you reply to this. She had to harden her heart and said, “I am with my friend.”
The word friend sounded awkward.
The one on the other side paused a little and said, “That is OK as long as you are safe. I want to tell you something about Caroline…”
Hearing the name, Kate’s breath grew faster.
One foot away behind her, Tristan was sitting with his back against the head of the bed and flipping through a magazine. Kate was afraid that he could hear, but she was eager to know what Jimmy found out. So she covered the phone with her other hand.
Jimmy told Kate what he had found out the past few days. Kate listened attentively. Her heartbeat followed his narration, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
It was not from what she heard from the phone, but because of the person beside her, to be precise, it was because of his hand. It came beneath her pajama tops and clung to her breast from behind.
She looked at Tristan in horror, but he looked back like nothing was happening. When his eyes met Kate’s, he merely blinked at her.
Kate was dumbfounded. It was weird for a cruel and gloomy person like him to make such a gesture.
And it was scary.
Jimmy said solemnly, “You still don’t want to say who those people are? In that case, if your friend is alive or dead, how and why she died can never come to light.”
Kate’s brain was working.
Not having heard her response, Jimmy called her name twice, “Are you there?”
Her torturer winked at her to ask her to get back to the call. Kate tried in vain to avoid his hands and responded to the phone, but before Jimmy began again, she gave out a sound in pain.
She was pinched on a sensitive part of her body without preparation.
Kate put her hand to her mouth.
Jimmy detected something was wrong and asked, “What is the matter with you? Are you OK?”
Kate could not react. Tristan would not stop his hand, and his movements became slow and evil in torturing her poor nipple.
She knew he did it on purpose.
Tristan wanted her to be embarrassed and break with Jimmy forever.
This acknowledgment made her feel sorrow. Jimmy choked, and after a while, she said, “Jimmy, can we talk another day?”
“You are busy?” He probably had already guessed something was wrong. This made Kate sad.
“Yes.” Her voice sounded like sobbing.
“OK. We will talk another day.”
She hung up.
Kate sniffed and forced back tears.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Tristan’s hand was still gripping her nipple. He asked with his hateful gentleness, “Why did you stop talking? I gave you a chance. You missed it. Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance.”
Kate didn’t reply. She didn’t want to speak a word to him. She tried to pull his hand away but failed, which only made her breast hurt more.
“Don’t move,” Tristan ordered.
His other hand followed and held her other breast as he said, “More even this way.”
Kate flew into a rage.
She grabbed a pillow with both hands and beat Tristan on the face, cursing him. “Morbid bastard! Son of bitch! Beast!”
Tristan didn’t expect the sudden outbreak of violence from this lamb. His two hands were occupied, and he received the beating.
However, her weapon of choice was weak in lethality.
Tristan took back his hand and reacted. He grabbed the pillow from her hands and threw it away. Then he jumped up like a leopard and pressed his body against hers, staring at her with furious eyes and said insidiously, “How dare you? You want to start a war?”
Kate had just used all her strength, and she was breathing heavily. Her breasts moved up and down.
Tristan’s attention was drawn.
After they struggled for a while, her top was pulled down, and part of her chest was exposed. Her creamy skin was shining under the light. Tristan was distracted by it. It reminded him of a boiled egg with the shell peeled.
He swallowed. His hands had reached to her subconsciously to pull her clothes open. The two places where he had pinched were reddened and looked appealing.
Kate felt ashamed and furious at being insulted this way. She beat him wildly. After a while, she felt something hot was poking her belly. She looked down suspiciously.
Kate looked at the lower part of his robe. It bulged against the fabric. She stared at it for a few seconds, and then she blushed and said, “Sickening!”
She used all her strength to push him away and crawled to the edge of the bed.
Tristan cursed inside. Shit. He had not had this kind of desire for a very long time but was called sickening for this rare occasion of hunger.
