I desire you!â
Raeganâs refusal was palpable as she attempted to fend him off.
âI donât want it, Mitchel! Youâre insane!â
Mitchel gripped her delicate ankle, his heart aching and his eyes filled with cold intensity.
âIf only I were insane, I wouldnât have to endure so long!â
At that instant, Mitchel longed to lose himself in madness, free from all emotions and concerns without showing signs of weakness.
Thus, he wouldnât feel so helpless around her!
Mitchel bent down, his heart heavy, and despite Raeganâs attempts to avoid him, he ki*sed her once more.
Raeganâs efforts to escape were futile against Mitchelâs overwhelming strength.
His arms felt like iron clamps, holding her tightly in place.
He didnât show her any mercy.
Raegan felt like a fish about to be caught, and it felt bad.
Her eyes welled up, and her voice trembled as she said, âMitchel, I hate you!â
Those words immediately crushed Mitchelâs desire.
His eyes showed deep pain, and his voice was rough.
âYou⦠You hate me?â
Raeganâs face was void of color, and her tone was weak.
âYour actions always cause me pain.
You never show me respect!â
Mitchelâs heart hurt even more when he heard her say that.
Was this all she perceived of him? He had lowered his pride repeatedly, only to face her scorn and disdain.
This realization left Mitchel feeling utterly empty.
He rose slowly, his heart numb.
Overwhelmed with hurt, his gaze turned icy as he warned, âIf you dare get intimate with anyone else, youâll face the consequences!â
With those words, he stormed out of the room.
Raegan sat there, dumbfounded.
Was that a threat? She truly regretted it now.
She wished she hadnât acted so hastily and slept with him.
Mitchel was still the same.
Unless she aligned with his wishes, he would always try to dominate her.
Raegan was grateful that she stayed level-headed and didnât give in.
They were not a good match.
Raegan lingered on the bed before finally getting up.
Her mind was occupied with Nicoleâs troubles, yet she pissed Mitchel off.
But the knowledge of Nicole being with Jarrod had helped the task of locating Nicole easier.
Plus, Jarrod didnât go to the hospital to tend to his injuries.
Raegan figured he did so to protect Nicole.
After all, the doctor had to call the police if they saw injuries of this magnitude.
Raegan felt much relieved.
It looked like Mitchel was correct in saying that Jarrod wouldnât harm Nicole.
Raegan then texted Judd, requesting him to check Jarrodâs current location.
During this time, Annis approached, inviting Raegan to join them for breakfast downstairs.
