Winning Her Heart Back

Self–Restraint

Emelie Immediately felt the dominating presence of the man.

“Who are you looking for? Troy? Why didn’t I know you were on such good terms with him? How long have you two been seeing each other behind my *

“Mr. Middleton? Emelie was stunned.

William gazed at her darkly, humming an affirmative.

Emelie sighed softly in relief but swiftly tensed up. “Let me go.”

“Are you interested in Troy now?” William could read her too well. He knew she was a little interested in

Troy the moment she smiled a certain way at him.

Emelie silently continued struggling against his grip. She really just thought Troy was adorable in a naïve

way.

William scoffed and dragged her over to peer through the window in the closet. “See for yourself.”

Emelie looked out.

Troy was getting it on with a woman in the courtyard behind the house, hips thrusting relentlessly forward.

Emelie had only been in the restroom for a couple of minutes, and Troy had already found someone to

fuck?

Adorable? Naïve? No, this was Troy’s true colors.

Emelie looked away in disgust, using the opportunity to shove William away. “You overthink, Mr. Middleton. I’m not interested in Mr. Spencer whatsoever nothing to do with me.”

Emelie then made to leave. But before she’d even touched the doorknob, William had pinned her against Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

the wall.

Emelie was getting angry now. Before she could snap at him, he’d kissed her and pressed his body up against hers.

William was relentlessly domineering, running a hand from her shoulders and down to her waist. His hands were tender and cool to the touch.

Emelie was shocked at first before rage overtook her. She shoved at William’s chest, but he still remained pinned against her. So Emelie used her nails and the back of his neck.

“William…” Emelie hissed, finally pushing him away with a burst of strength. “Let me go!”

William was shoved away and hit the shelf behind him, creating a noise.

Someone who was passing by just then leaned near the door and asked, “Is someone in there?”

Emelie went from angry to nervous in an instant. Who knew what kind of scandal would erupt if someone

spotted her in the closet with William? She didnt want to be plagued with rumors regarding William even efter leaving Cloudex Corporation!

Emelle froze to the spot, keeping her breathing soft.

Silence filled the narrow space.

William touched the back of his neck. How did Emelle muster the courage to scratch him?

The person outside the storeroom tried opening the door, but it’d been locked from the inside. Since they didn’t hear a sound anymore, they grumbled to themselves and left.

The moment they left, Emelie relaxed.

William was no longer in the mood. He began straightening his clothes.

Emelie took a deep breath to calm herself before saying, “What are you doing, Mr. Middleton? Didn’t you not like women like me? Isn’t it degrading for yo

“Are you insulting me?”

“I’m just reminding you to keep yourself in line, Mr. Middleton.”

William wiped away the lipstick at the corner of his mouth and said, “You’d best leave it to myself to

decide what I like and don’t like, Ms. Hoven.”

“Then kindly restrain yourself and make sure what happened just now never does again, Mr. Middleton. We’re no longer in that kind of relationship. I will call the police if there

She went to the restroom to wash all traces of William off her lips.

“Jackass!” Emelie cursed.

She then heaved a sigh and tidied herself up before reapplying her lipstick. After several minutes of recomposing herself and ensuring she looked compl

Troy was nowhere to be seen, nor was William.

Emelie looked around the place and didn’t bother searching further after a moment. She went to a corner. and stayed there silently, waiting for Troy to sh she could tell him she was leaving.

While waiting, Emelie overheard a conversation between two guests who walked by.

“I rarely see Mr. Middleton Senior so upset. I wonder what Mr. Middleton said to him…” Emelie instinctively asked, “What happened to Mr. Middleton Sen
