When Henley's assistant announced his vegetative state in the hospital, Gerda was so distraught she nearly fainted.
Raegan was equally stunned.
Why would Henley have left his entire fortune to her? Such a turn of events seemed incomprehensible.
Mitchel, with darkened eyes, questioned, “Can you explain this?"
Raegan opened her mouth but remained silent, at a loss for words.
Mitchel's gaze grew colder, still wrongly thinking Raegan was pregnant with Henley's child.
Despite what Henley had done, he must admit Henley was quite considerate in offering financial support for the unborn child in
Raegan's belly.
At the thought of that, Mitchel's heart seemed to be torn apart by some invisible stagger.
He pinched Raegan's chin, his tone icy.
"Say something!"
His anger intensified, his grip tightening.
Raegan, on the verge of tears, stammered, "What do you expect me to say?"
"Didn't you try to explain it to me just then? Go on."
Raegan felt utterly confused.
Without understanding the situation herself, how could she clarify it? Mitchel, growing more agitated by her silence, lost
the"Didn't you try to explain it to me just then? Go on."
Raegan felt utterly confused.
Without understanding the situation herself, how could she clarify it? Mitchel, growing more agitated by her silence, lost the
composure he had intended to maintain.
Mitchel's words dripped with sarcasm, "Raegan, do you enjoy flirting with others while making a pass on me?"
Tears brimming in her eyes, Raegan retorted, “When did I ever make a pass on you?"
Mitchel sneered, "Why did you kiss me when visiting me in the hospital even after I said I didn't want to see you?"
"I.."
Raegan opened her mouth to respond but found no words.
Mitchel continued bitterly, “Can't defend yourself? Let me answer for you."
Mitchel's anger, fueled by past grievances involving Henley, made him spill out in harsh tones, "Do you just enjoy hooking up and
being a bitch?"
"You!"
Raegan was livid at his insulting words.
What a fucking bastard Mitchel was! An absolute asshole! His harsh words cut deep.
Raegan felt a surge of injustice, struggling to maintain her composure.
She had never expected that her attempt to make peace would be misread by Mitchel, even going so far as calling her a bitch...
His words stung, branding her with humiliation.
How could anyone be so unjustly harsh? Turning her face away, a heavy weight seemed to press on her chest, making it hard to
breathe.
She had no desire to speak to Mitchel.
But Mitchel didn't intend to let her go.
He turned her face toward him, insisting, "Answer me one last time.Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Raegan was confused.
Mitchel kept questioning her whether she was hiding something from him.
But the only secret she had was their unborn child in her belly.
Fear crept in at the possibility of his knowing her pregnancy.
Was he asking about it? No, she couldn't tell him she was pregnant with his child.
Mitchel's current state of rage made her worry he might demand something drastic, like an abortion.
She was alone in the world, and this baby represented her only hope, especially after losing a child once before.
She couldn't risk her unborn child on Mitchel's volatile emotions.
As long as she kept the pregnancy to herself, Mitchel couldn't have forced her to have an abortion.
Frightened, she bit her lip stubbornly, holding back her words.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she remained silent, determined not to speak.
Her silence only fueled Mitchel's frustration further.
His expression darkened as he moved closer, his kiss forceful and overwhelming.
Raegan fought back with all her might, but Mitchel's grip was unyielding.
His kiss was intense, his tongue invading her mouth, leavingher feeling overwhelmed and suffocated.
Flashes of that night haunted Raegan's thoughts.
When Mitchel finally broke the kiss, she gasped for air, pleading, "Mitchel, please, calm down."
But Mitchel held Raegan tightly, his sneer cutting through her.
"Stop pretending.You seemed quite enjoy yourself last time."
Raegan's heart sank at his words.
They were like a slap across her face, humiliating and sharp.
She had yielded to him before out of fear, to avoid worse treatment.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Lost in these thoughts, she flinched as Mitchel began to trail kisses down her neck.
He skillfully undid the thin belt on her shoulder with his teeth, biting her collarbone sharply as he moved downward...
Pain surged through Raegan, her fear palpable.
She couldn't push him away, haunted by the memory of their last encounter and the fragile safety of her unborn child in her belly.
"Stop, please, Mitchel.It still hurts..."
Her voice broke, filled with sobs.
For a moment, her soft tone seemed to reach Mitchel.
He paused, questioning, "Still hurts after five days?"
Seizing the opportunity, Raegan let her tears flow more freely, reinforcing her plea.
“Yes, it's still painful.”She exaggerated slightly, but it wasn't entirely a lie.
Her skin was sensitive, and some swelling still lingered.
Mitchel looked at her, his expression unreadable.
“Let me see for myself."
"No, please don't touch me!"
Raegan cried out, gripping his hand firmly.
For a moment, they were locked in a standoff.
Then, in an abrupt move, her underwear was torn in two.
Embarrassment flooded Raegan, especially with the lights still on.
Thankfully, the swelling was visibly evident.
Mitchel, ignoring her protests, fetched ointment from the medical kit and applied it to the affected area.
His touch, though clinical, sent a cool relief through Raegan, leaving her momentarily dazed.
Regaining her senses, Raegan felt a surge of humiliation.
Tears streamed down her face.
Mitchel's actions had reduced her to an object, devoid of respect.
He then insisted she remain still, legs apart, to prevent the ointment from being wiped off.
Raegan's face flared in anger.
"Why don't you apply it yourself?"Mitchel asked, puzzled.
Raegan was at a loss for words.
She wanted to explain the inconvenience of self-application and that natural healingChapter 261 Raegar's Baby would suffice.
But in actuality, she didn't want to use the ointment so that she'd have an excuse to stop Mitchel.
Mitchel then asked suddenly, "Did you avoid treating it as an excuse to avoid having sex me?"
The room was dead silent.
Raegan panicked, feeling as if he had read her thoughts.
Mitchel, still bearing traces of her on his fingertips, approached with a hoarse voice, "That won't work!"
His arousal was evident, not driven by punishment but by desire.
Clearly, he was determined to have sex with her.
Frightened, Raegan pushed him away, pleading, “Don't, please...I can't...Not right now..."
Mitchel's expression shifted instantly.
"What did you just say?".
Raegan was on the verge of tears.
"It's not about you...It’s me..."
Mitchel's touch was gentle as he acknowledged the soreness.
"I know it's still swollen and painful, but we can find a way..."
He whispered something in her ear, his voice hoarse.
Raegan's face turned a deep red at his words, shaking her head in reluctance.
“We're married, so it's only natural for us to do this,"
Mitchel reasoned, pulling her closer.WIldHter ADT Peabo Dab Overwhelmed with humiliation, Raegan felt helpless to resist.
She feared provoking another change in his mood and felt compelled to comply.
In a sudden move, Mitchel gripped her hair, his breath quickening.
"Call me."
Barely able to speak, Raegan murmured, "Mitchel..."
“That's not it,"he corrected in a low tone.
What else could it be? Confused and exhausted, Raegan fell silent.
"If you don't cooperate, this will last all night," Mitchel warned.
Her expression shifting, Raegan forced outa reluctant, "Honey..."
Mitchel's response was immediate.
His breathing grew heavier, his gaze more intense.
"Keep calling me this way."
Raegan's humiliation deepened, feeling reduced to a prostitute.
"If you don't do as I say, it'll take me longer to finish," he said indifferently.
With great reluctance, Raegan repeated, "Honey...Honey..."
Finally, Mitchel released a sigh, drawing her up into his arms and kissing her forehead.
The ordeal, though shorter than usual, lasted nearly two hours.
Exhausted, Raegan lay motionless.
Eventually, Mitchel escorted her to the bathroom.
She wanted to refuse but didn't dare provoke him further.
Fortunately, he seemed to recognize her fatigue and simply shared a shower with her.
Then, utterly spent, Raegan fell asleep in Mitchel's embrace.
Gazing at Raegan's serene, sleeping face, Mitchel's demeanor softened, and he whispered, “If you're honest with me, I can
accept it."
In the past, he wouldn't have taken it seriously, merely seeing it as a joke.
But now, things were unclear, and he knew that if compromise was necessary, he would be the first to attempt it.
He just wanted Raegan to be by his side, willingly.
If that was what it took, he was willing to give it a try.
Not hearing his words, Raegan, deep in slumber, instinctively snuggled closer to his warmth.
Mitchel's expression shifted, his grip loosening slightly to hold her more gently, ensuring her comfort.
That night, Mitchel slept peacefully.
Raegan, however, was tormented by a nightmare.
In it, Mitchel was merciless, forcing her to terminate her pregnancy.
This fear haunted her until the early hours of the morning.
Before dawn fully broke, Raegan lay awake, Mitchel sleeping soundly beside her, his breaths even and calm.
Raegan sat up quietly, reaching for Mitchel’s phone on thebedside table.
She used Mitchel's face to unlock it, but dared not head outside the room.
Instead, she tiptoed into the bathroom to send a message.
As she prepared to send the text, she realized she needed a password.
Mitchel's phone was customized for high security, useless to anyone who found it without the correct code.
Raegan tried Mitchel's birthday and the villa's password, but neither worked.
Just as she was about to abandon her attempt, a familiar voice startled her.
"Do you need me to unlock it for you?"
