Chapter 184: Tpcp 184
The Predator’s Contract Partner
The sound of his big, thick palms and flesh hitting her resonated in her ears. She had endured all sorts of shameful things in her past life, but this kind of insult was the first of its kind. And the one who did this⦠⦠was her husband.
âWhat is this⦠⦠. What are you doing?â
While waiting for him, Elisha had imagined all sorts of scenarios. But she never imagined she would end up like this. Her voice trembled, and her ears turned red.
âWhat are you doing?â
Slap!
Her ass stung again. If Lucerne hit her properly with that big hand, Elisha would have passed out by now. She knew he was controlling his strength. So the reason her ass was burning now was because of shame.
For the first time, Elisha learned that sometimes shame was harder than being hit painfully.
âIâll tell you, so let me go,â
Elisha gasped.
ââPlease.â
Lucerne gnashed his teeth as if he was holding back something. He let her go. Elisha pulled herself up together, still on the sofa, and glared at him as she straightened herself out.
âWhat is this⦠⦠.â
âIt made you want to talk,â
Lucerne whispered.
âWhy are you running away and closing up? I told you not to do that.â
Elisha, who was adjusting her hair and clothes, stopped moving. Her eyes shook.
âYou wondered what I was going to do? Why. Do you think Iâll give you a free divorce if youâre a bigamist?â
â⦠⦠Itâs not like that.â
âAh, yes, it must be because youâre so shrewd. You wondered how rough Iâd go on you? Does knowing the worst in advance make you feel at ease?â
Those words were correct.
âHow many times do I have to tell you to understand? You canât imagine the worst. Youâll think that Jacob, who even gave you a salary while doing the laundry, was generous.â
Elisha couldnât even shake off his hand. She was also afraid that he would hit her ass again if she rejected him.
âDonât do that,â
said Elisha. Lucerneâs hand dropped slowly.
â⦠⦠Iâll tell you everything youâre curious about. Thatâs it.â
Elisha wondered if he knew she had something to hide from him. After all, she had never received that kind of consideration from him.
âGood, a little more and I would have stripped you naked and interrogated you. You donât want to be treated like a real prisoner, do you?â
â⦠⦠Lucerne!â
âWhy? I think you will enjoy it too.â
Elishaâs ears turned red as if they were about to explode.
âThen.â
Lucerneâs expression changed.
âTell me the name of the guy who wrote the marriage contract with you.â
â⦠⦠What are you going to do?â
âTear him into pieces and murder him. That way you will become a widow.â
She detected his terrible possessiveness behind those words.
âI donât give mine to anyone. It was the same in the past and it is the same now.â
Elisha tried to stay calm. Lucerne was dangerous. In a moment, he shook her.
âThe inside story⦠⦠. Arenât you curious?â
âInside story?â
He leaned over her. Elisha shrank back.
âIt is fortunate that our marriage is still under contract,â
Lucerne said affectionately.
âHavenât you made the offer you made to me with another man? Iâm not the first. If I think about it, my blood boils and eyes feel like theyâll roll back in fury.â
