Stella looked at him in disbelief. âDonât tell me youâll follow me to the bathroom as well?â
âIâve said it. You have to be within my sight.â
He didnât even seem to feel the least bit horrified by what he said. âI will never let such a thing happen again. Even if you are at Stardust Mansion, I will ensure someone keeps watch on you, and you are not allowed to go anywhere alone.â
are âYou are crazy!â In disgust, Stella tried to pry herself away from him.
âI am.â
He suddenly hugged her tightly and pinched her chin hard, forcing her to look into his eyes âEven if Iâm crazy, it is better than seeing you get hurt.â
If he wasnât with her today, which part of her would that acid have hit?
Her face?
Her body?
Or worse, her throat?
Her neck was so fragile...
Weston slowly placed his hand on it.
It was so tender that it seemed it would break if he exerted a little force.
A more concentrated acid wouldâve burned through her neck easily.
Her life was so fragile. Any tiny mistake would kill her.
He even began to blame her frailty.
If only she had an indestructible body, he wouldnât have to worry so much.
Nonetheless, Stella still found it unacceptable and thought that he was crazy. âI accept you making me stay home, but donât you think youâve just crossed the line?â
He obviously didnât think so.
He bit her ear and said, âYouâre supposed to be mine. Youâre supposed to stay by my side. Youâre not allowed to go anywhere but to look at me.â
He was saying it as if he had rights over her. âYou donât have to have anyone else by your side but me.â
âYou are soâ¦â
She did not know the words she should use to describe him.
Her whole body trembled now. That complicated feeling she had for him had vanished , and all that was left was fear.
He knew she was shaking but pretended not to see it and kissed her cheek.
âI know you cannot accept it now, but it will be all good when you get used to it one day.â
âWeston, do you really want to turn me into a woman whose entire life is about you?â
âItâs not what I want; itâs what Iâm already doing,â he corrected her.
He felt excited when she said she was becoming a woman whose life was only about him.
Apart from excitement, he felt indescribably satisfied.
âStella, be good and stay by my side. Just do as I say. Having me alone is more than good enough,â the man murmured in a low voice.
There was a water sound coming from the bathroom.
Although the doctor had just reminded Weston that he should try not to get wet, Weston was seriously obsessed with cleanliness and would certainly not want to comply with the medical advice at such a time.
What he just said made her feel more suffocated than ever.
She thought that maybe this was just the beginning. The man called Weston had no bottom line.
He kept her in the mansion , but this was not enough â
His demands were getting more and more excessive and paranoid.
She even believed that if he could, he would chain her to him and take her everywhere he went.
