Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 190

If I could somehow make Neil, that jerk, incapable of having offspring, I’d be over the moon. It would

only be fair that he pays for the pain he’d caused

ΠΕ

Sadly though, the slimy bastard was quick on his feet.

“You gonna let go now?” I glared at him coldly

“No way, retorted Neil, showing no signs of backing down.

I was reaching my boiling point. The feeling of being overpowered and losing control of my own body

was unbearable. I could think of only one way to fight back bite him!

1 successfully took a chunk out of Neil’s arm.

He winced but didn’t push me away.

After I’d had my fill and released my bite.

Neil gripped my chin, forcing me to look up. His kiss was like a forceful storm, almost suffocating me

It was a bizarre sensation. I should despise him, resist him, but his kisses always sparked something

indescribable within me. Was I a masochist? Why was I feeling this urge to submit under such

circumstances?

To clear my head, I pushed Neil away the moment he loosened his grip and gave him a hard slap

across his face, leaving the imprint of my five fingers behind!

“You beast!” I spat venomously.

Neil touched his slapped cheek, his eyes darkening. He viciously removed his tie, “Let’s see how you

like a real beast!”

I made a huge mistake I pissed off a man with raging hormones.

Neil, furning, grabbed me and tossed me onto the bed. To prevent me from biting or hitting him again,

he tied my hands to the bedpost.

No matter how much I cursed or warned him, he didn’t bat an eyelid. His phone rang a couple of times,

but he outright ignored it.

It had been more than two years since had been intimate with a man, so Neil’s sudden intrusion was

agonizing. I didn’t stop cursing him for a second.

By the time we finished, it was half past ten. Throughout the ordeal, Neil was the one doing all the

action while I busied myself with cursing him,

“Done with your cursing?” Neil asked.

“Get lost My voice was hoarse My eyes burned with anger as I glared at Neil.

He was drenched in sweat, his hair a mess, but he seemed satisfied. In contrast, I, who had ventured

out in search of a sexual encounter, felt incredibly frustrated.

Neil just smirked and untied the knot around my wrists. My wrists were swollen and in pain from

struggling

I clenched my fist, suppressing my feeling of humiliation, and glared at Neil, Was all that necessary?

Are you really that desperate?”

“No,” Neil looked down at me, holding my face gently in his hands, “but I’m desperate for you. Can you

give me one last chance? I’ll make up for the pain I’ve caused you”

How could he possibly make up for the pain of death I’ve experienced, the child I’ve lost, and the regret

of never being a mother again?

“I don’t need that.” I pushed Neil away, picked up my clothes from the floor, and pulled out some cash

from my bag to put on the table, I’ll just consider this as hiring a gigolo for the night.”

Neil’s face darkened at the sight of the cash. He glared at me, his eyes filled with rage.

I didn’t bother to shower, I just slipped on my dress and dragged my exhausted body out of the hotel.

When I got home, I got a call from Barbara Sands, “Rena, you’re not with Jameson? He said you ran

into Neil?!”

“Yeah, Jameson chickened out when he recognized Neil and left me be,” I answered, soaking in the

bathtub, with eyes closed and phone in hand.

“Oh dear, that’s unfortunatel And after Jameson left, what happened with Nel?” Barbara asked

anxiously

The memories of Neil taking advantage of me gave me a headache.

I lied, “He demanded to know why I was there. I made up an excuse and left. Now, I’m just soaking in

the bathtub at home.”

“Well, that’s good then I was really worried he might give you a hard time, Barbara sighed in relief, “You

go ahead and enjoy your bath. I’m off to bed!” “Alright, good night”

After hanging up, I got out of the bathtub and dried off, then walked over to the mirror. My body was

covered in bruises and bite marks, a gruesome sight Indeed

Another wave of headache hit me as I fretted over what to wear the next day What if my parents found

out?

Just then, my phone rang. It was Russel

I besitated but decided to ignore it

I had promised Lauretta Dawson I would keep my distance from Russel, let alone see him.

Russel sent a text: “PICK UPT

Chapter

I didn’t pick up the call. After three attempts, Russel finally gave up, but my mom’s voice echoed from

outside the bathroom, “Rena, why aren’t you picking up Dr. Russel’s call? Don’t you have your phone in

the bathroom?”

I’m taking a bath!” I shouted back.

“Well, you should call him back later!” my mom advised.

She still hoped I would end up with Russel, oblivious to the fact that the Dawson family was vehemently

against it.

I couldn’t bear to tell her the truth, afraid it would upset her.

“Okay,” I replied, and she finally left.

I changed into my pajamas and crawled into bed, devoid of energy. The missed call notifications from

Russel kept blinking on my phone screen. After some thought, I decided to call him back.

Russel picked up immediately. His usually calm voice was frantic, “Why did you agree to my mom’s

demands? I’m willing to give up everything! I can forfeit my family’s wealth, and I can quit my job. All I

want is the freedom to pursue my feelings!”

“Russel, don’t be impulsive!” I tried to calm him down, “You can let go of the family business, but are

you really ready to give up your job? If your family pressures you, you won’t be able to practice

medicine in our country. Are you planning to go abroad?”

Russel was silent for a few seconds before responding, “Why not? I can still make a living”

“It’s not worth it, Russel. You re already at odds with your family, and you haven’t even gotten my

approval yet. You’re making me feel like a burden, I chuckled bitterly

“You’re worth it! Russel shot back immediately, “Irene, I would give up everything for you. All I need is

you”

I couldn’t deny it, he really got to me. He had already shown his commitment through his actions, but I

couldn’t just accept him because I’m touched. ignoring what his family thinks
