NovelEnglishChapter 341 Mandy felt her sanity teetering on the edge, fraying under the double assault of anger and humiliation.
She shoved hard at Liam, her fists pounding against his chest. "Letgo! What the hell do you want from me?" But Liam didn't budge. He caught her flailing hands in one of his, pinning her firmly against the partition wall. In the cramped stall, their breaths mingled, the air thick with a tension that felt dangerously close to something else.
"What do I want?" he murmured, his voice low and rough. "Con, Mandy. Don't tellyou don't know. What's this, huh? You usefor a night, then tossaside like nothing happened? What am I to you?" His breath was hot against her ear, sending a shiver down Mandy's spine and leaving her legs weak.
Her cheeks burned. "Last night was a mistake, okay? Can't we just pretend it never happened?" He gave a bitter laugh, his eyes dark with possessiveness. "So you get what you want, then just walk away? And you call that a mistake?" "Mandy, do I look like someone who just shrugs and moves on after being used?" She had no comeback; for a moment, all she could do was stare at him, speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe truth was, last night, she'd insisted on drinking too much. She'd been the one clinging to him, making a scene.
Most of it was a blur, lost in the haze of alcohol, but one memory stood out in excruciating detail: her straddling him on the bed, completely unrestrained. The image was so vivid, it made her want to slap herself.
God, no-she couldn't think about that. Every tshe did, she wanted to die of embarrassment. She really had lost her mind.
She'd been so desperate she'd even slept with a guy who was supposed to be gay.
Mandy turned her head away, unable to meet Liam's eyes. "I... I didn't mean for it to happen." Liam wasn't buying it for a second. Last night, with the alcohol loosening her tongue, she'd confessed everything-told him outright she'd fallen for him from the start.
No wonder she'd been so bold in bed; she must have been holding back for ages. Honestly, it was the wildest thing he'd ever experienced, too.
He hadn't been able to focus all day, replaying every moment from last night in his mind.
And now, the woman responsible wanted to pretend it was nothing? He wasn't going to let her off that easy.
Suddenly, Liam leaned in and kissed her.
Mandy's eyes flew open in shock. She tried to resist, but just then, footsteps and voices echoed from outside the sound of people entering the restroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPanic flashed in Mandy's eyes as she shot Liam a look, silently begging him to let her go.
But Liam, amused, only tightened his grip, one hand slipping under her shirt, fingers roaming freely.
Mandy's heart pounded in her throat. She didn't dare make a sound, terrified they'd be discovered.
The footsteps drew closer, stopping at the next stall. Then cvoices, clear as day: "I thought I just saw Claire." "Didn't she go to prison?" "Looks like she's out now."
"Who would've thought? Cresthaven Academy's star student, ending up convicted for murder. Goes to show ve you can never really know someone. She always seemed so quiet in high school-guess she was just pretending." "Seriously. So what if you ace every test? She's a convict now."
"Back then, she acted all high and mighty because of her grades. Even when the most popular guy in our class tried to ask her out, she just ignored him. Now look at her-what's she got to brag about?"
"Class reunion's tomorrow. Who'd have guessed our old heartthrob would be the most successful one now? He's already a sales manager at Foster & Co."
