Chapter 413
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âWhat are you doing? Let go of me, Emmett! It hurts!â
Clara felt the scorching pain in her wrist, but Emmett seemed to ignore her pleas, dragging her forward relentlessly.
Passing butlers gaped at the scene, âYoung Master, did she do something wrong?â
âOut of my way!â Emmett glared at him with an ominous expression, continuing his stride.
Clara stumbled a few steps and nearly fell, but before she could regain her footing, she was dragged into Emmettâs bedroom.
No, it wasnât just his. It was also hers, and their former shared space.
Seeing the familiar room, Clara felt as if her heart was being stabbed repeatedly.
âWhy did you bring me here?â
âWhat do you think?â Emmettâs lips curled into a mocking smile, the fury in his eyes unmistakable. âTell me, are you really eager to leave with Elio?â
Clara shook her head before suddenly nodding, âJust let me go, Emmett. I know you hate me! You want to humiliate me and crush my pride, I admit it! But let me go after youâre done.â
Earlier in the dining room, Clara didnât dare to meet Leahâs eyes. She was afraid of seeing Leahâs anger.
Emmett took her away, and Leah must be upset. The occurrence of such events was enough to scare her! If Emmett keeps taking her away in front of Leah, could she still expect any antidote from her?
But she couldnât voice these concerns to Emmett. She had to swallow them all.
Emmett raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a drunken haze.
Before Clara could respond, she was roughly tossed onto the bed, her world spinning as Emmett pinned her down.
âWhatâ¦what are you doing? Emmett! Youâre drunk!â
âIâm not drunk; you asked for this!â
Clara quickly clarified, âI didnât mean that! Iâ¦mmph!â
Before she could finish her sentence, his lips, heavy with the scent of alcohol, swallowed her words whole. His hands began to wander. Clara struggled vigorously, trying to push him away, but she was no match for Emmettâs strength. âMmm⦠let go of me⦠Emmett!â
She tried desperately to avoid his kisses, but he seemed not to hear her, completely lost in his own world.
Clara feared that Leah or Sophia might come looking for Emmett. If they saw her and Emmett like this, Leah would surely be furious! The consequences would be disastrous So, in a moment of desperation, she bit down on Emmettâs lip!
Suddenly they both tasted the metallic tang of blood.
Emmett seemed to snap out of his trance, abruptly getting off her.
âGet out, get out now!â
Clara hastily fixed her clothes, trembling all over. âIâm leaving now.â
Watching her leave, Emmett suddenly turned and hurled an vase onto the floor.
The shards scattered all over, impossible to piece back together.
Just like him and Clara.
Perhaps hearing the noise, a butler outside hurriedly knocked on the door. âYoung Master, are you alright? Young Masterâ¦
