Chapter 539
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âCalvin, since Rosalie was taken by Jonathan, you donât need to worry. They were a couple, after all, even if theyâve broken up, you can seeâ¦â
Fionaâs voice suddenly trailed off because she realized that Calvin was not listening to anything she was saying. It was as if she were invisible to him, and at this moment, his mind was entirely focused on Rosalie.
Fiona gritted her teeth tightly as she thought, âWhat does Rosalie have that is so special? One after another, they are all trying to claim Rosalie. I will not let Rosalie steal my happiness!â
When Jonathan took Rosalie out of the car, she realized that the place he had taken her was completely unfamiliar.
Bamboo groves surrounded it, and in the midst of it stood a traditional manor that seemed to have some years behind it.
It exuded an ancient charm, making it feel like a step back in time.
âJonathan, why did you bring me here?â Rosalie suddenly felt nervous.
âWhat for? Of course, itâs to keep you locked up,â he replied, pulling her and heading toward the mansion.
The interior of the mansion was decorated with an old-fashioned charm. Even though some areas had clearly been renovated, the overall ambiance remained, with pavilions, small bridges, and lotus flowers, which were rare this season.
If it were any other time, Rosalie would have been eager to appreciate such a place.
However, she was almost forced to move forward now. Despite the beauty of the surroundings, she felt nothing but fear.
She pondered, âLocked up? What did he mean by that? Could it beâ¦â
âNo!â Rosalie desperately tried to free herself from Jonathanâs grip but couldnât break free. His fingers were like steel, tightly gripping her wrist.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at her. âI used to care whether you wanted me, but I realized that instead of letting you fall in love with Calvin, Iâd rather do it my way.â
With that, he suddenly bent down, lifting her entirely in his arms and striding into a large room.
âJonathan, put me down!â Rosalie shouted.
âPut you down and let you stay with Calvin?â he replied with a sneer.
âCalvin and I are not what you think,â she said.
âWhat kind of relationship is it then? Childhood friends whoâve been through thick and thin?â he asked coldly.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, âNo matter what kind of relationship it is, you have no right to bring me here. I want to go back.â
âYou canât go back,â he said lightly as he carried her into a spacious room. The room was dark as no lights were on, and it was completely pitch-black.
Rosalie felt herself being thrown onto the bed. She tried to sit up, but the next moment, his body covered hers, pinning her down.
âRosalie, you canât go back. Since I brought you here, I donât intend to let you leave.â His breath brushed against her face, and his gentle tone sent shivers down her spine.
âWhat do you mean? What do you mean by not intending to let me leave?â she asked in shock.
âWhat? Havenât I made myself clear?â he murmured, his lips brushing against her earlobe. âI want you to stay here until you fall in love with me again.â
Her body trembled as she thought, âSo, he really intended to keep me locked up here until I fell in love with him again?â âAre you crazy? What youâre doing is a clear violation of someoneâs freedom!â Rosalie exclaimed loudly as if speaking loudly was the only way to alleviate her fear.
mad.â
âCrazy?â he whispered, and his icy kiss trailed along her earlobe, lingering on her cheeks and eyebrows. âMaybe Iâve been crazy for a long time. When I fell in love with you and controlled my every emotion, I might have already gone He had gone crazy when he fell in love with her, and his joys and sorrows were controlled by her. âYouâre the one who made me realize that jealousy can be intense enough to want to destroy the entire world,â he murmured.
His soft voice formed an ambiguous atmosphere in this dark room.
Rosalie couldnât push Jonathan away. His kisses continued to rain down on her face, and his fingers were undoing her dress.
âNo!â he cried out âI donât like you wearing clothes given to you by other men,â he said coldly. He did not like her dress, which was originally meant to be a gift from Calvin to the person he missed the most.
Even though Calvin did not know that Rosalie was the little girl who had saved him all those years ago, he still gave her the dress.
Jonathan thought, âWhat does it mean? Is it fate? Even if they were temporarily separated, are they destined to be together in the end? So, what did that make me? I fell in love with Rosalie first!â
âTell me, have you stopped loving me?â He removed her dress, his fingers touching her heart.
She couldnât see his expression in the dimly lit room, but she could feel his eyes burning into her.
âSo, what do I have to do to make you love me again?â he murmured.
She remained silent as he showered her with more kisses..
âDonât fall in love with Calvin, okay? The only person you can love is meâ¦â His words sounded both like a command and a plea.
Her heart trembled slightly. âJonathan, I wonât love you again.â He had long shattered her love for him.
âReally?â he said in a low voice. âWe have the rest of our lives, so much time ahead. One day, youâll love me again.â
âIs it that if I donât love you for a day, you wonât let me go for a day?â She began to breathe heavily. In the darkness, it seemed like he was trying to arouse her senses with everything he had.
âMmâ¦â He responded as if he were a passionate lover. However, they clearly werenât a couple. âDo you want me?â His voice echoed in her ear once again.
Her vision was obstructed in the dimly lit room, so her sense of hearing became more acute.
His voice was incredibly seductive, deliberately stirring, tempting, and leading her into everything he had carefully arranged.
Her body seemed to be under his control, irresistibly drawn to him..
However, her willpower still had a trace of clarity.
She heard herself saying, âJonathan, I donât want you!â
At that moment, the air seemed to fall into a dead silence
