Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 645

"N-No... I wouldn't dare... Mr. Hunt, please forgive me. I won't do it again.

Please..." "Don't worry. I'll spare your insignificant life. I'll give you a taste of hell on earth!” Stefan stepped on the

man's head and pressed it into the mud.

The pervert didn't dare fight back, and he soon passed out from fear...

Renee was still lying on the cold mat. She was already untied, and her clothes were also loose. Her fair skin was

slightly pinkish. She looked like the most enticing meal in the world.

Renee wriggled her way to Stefan and wrapped her arms around his legs. She then pressed her face against him.

"Stefan, you're really here. Am I imagining things?"

Stefan looked down confusedly at her. "You've been saved. Hurry up and put on your clothes. Stop messing

around!"

He didn't know that Renee was under the drug's influence and couldn't think clearly. He also didn't know that, from

her perspective, he was the only cure for her burning passion.

"I haven't been rescued yet. I feel awful. It's so warm. You're a good person. Help me all the way..." Renee said

while she stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You're my cure. I need you. You can't leave me!" Her clothes fell to the ground. She was almost fully naked.

"Erk-hem!" Even if Stefan had a lot of self-control, he couldn't keep it together when he saw her like this.

He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. "Have you thought it through?" Renee looked seductively at him while

moving her lips close to his ear. "Of course, I've thought it through. I know what I'm doing. I need you..."

"Okay. Don't regret this." Stefan directly picked Renee up and brought her out of this dark, damp place...

The next day, the sun pierced through the curtains and against the large, white bed. Renee woke up with a

headache.

"Where am I?" She asked aloud before looking around. This place felt familiar yet foreign at the same time.

After a while, it hit her.

"Oh my god. Isn't this Stefan's room? What am I doing here?"

She lived in this mansion for four entire years. She knew it inside and out.

Stefan's room was the only room she rarely entered. That's why it felt relatively foreign.

"Damn it. What on earth happened last night? Didn't I work late and go home after that? How..."

Renee struck her own head repeatedly, but no matter how many times she tried, she just couldn't recall what

happened the night before.

This was when she heard a sound coming from the bathroom.

Stefan walked out in a blue bathrobe and a blank expression on his face, his hair still dripping wet.

"You're awake," he said while he looked at the confused Renee in bed.

"Uhh..." Seeing how calm Stefan was, Renee tried to calm herself down. She nodded stiffly. "Yeah!"

Stefan brushed his fingers through his messy hair and walked up to Renee. He looked down at her. "Since you're

awake, let's talk. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Chapter 646

Renee was dumbfounded. She blinked several times before carefully asking, "W-What do you mean?”

Stefan's facial expression was cold. He looked Renee up and down without revealing the contents of his mind.

Renee was wearing a revealing silk pajama. She quickly covered her exposed skin with a blanket. "I can't

remember. Why don't you give me a hint?" She asked carefully.

"Don't you remember what you did to me?" Stefan walked to the edge of the bed and asked in a deep voice, "Or

are you pretending to forget so you wont be held accountable?"

"I honestly cant remember a thing. Show me the evidence. Don’t slander a good person!" At this moment, Renee

felt like a part of her memory had been erased. All she remembered was lending her phone to a guy after work

ended. She genuinely couldn't remember anything else that happened after that.

Which was why... She wasn't sure if she had gone berserk and 'bullied' Stefan last night.

She prayed she didn't-otherwise, it'd be too embarrassing-and she would never have the courage to face him

again!

"Of course I have proof... Open your eyes and take a good, long look!"

With that, Stefan untied the bathrobe on him.

His skin was tanned, and his abs were moulded in the form of a chocolate bar. He looked like a European model.

Renee gulped. She knew it wasn't polite to stare, but she simply failed to tear her gaze away.

After that, she saw the solid 'evidence' on his skin that could be described as 'horrendous.'

"That's not all. There are some on my back too!" Stefan said through clenched jaws before loosening the towel

further and turning around.

There were claw marks all over his muscular back. The very look of it gave Renee goosebumps.

"T-This..."

Like a child who had made a mistake, she spoke in a very soft voice in hopes that she could turn the tables. "Who

did that? It's inhumane."

But no matter what it was, it surely couldn't be her.

Based on how well she knew herself, she didn't have much experience. How could she have done such a thing?

Stefan must've been played by another woman who wanted to put the blame on her!

"What do you think?" Stefan turned around after hearing Renee's murmurs. He directly leaned against her and

smiled. "Do you want me to reenact the scene? Will that help you remember?"

They were very close to each other. It felt intimate.

Renee reached out in an attempt to push him away, but he grabbed her hands hard, preventing her from moving.

"Tell me, what are you going to do about this? You hurt me physically and mentally last night. How will you make it

up to me?" Stefan asked.

Renee didn't have many layers on, and she also felt guilty, the reason she didn't dare to move. It was rare that she

was so docile and submissive, allowing Stefan to do whatever he wanted to her.

By now, her cheeks were flushed. She avoided her gaze while she tried to reason with him. "It's already happened.

There's nothing I can do about it.

You're a man. What's wrong with being taken advChapter 647

Stefan pursed his lips. "I tried to resist, but it didn’t work. You know how strong you are, don’t you?" He asked.

"Well..." Renee glanced at the ridiculous scratch marks on his body and suddenly felt less sure about her line of

reasoning. "You should think about whether your outfit was too revealing. Did you use suggestive body language?

Were you intentionally seducing me?"

"As a man, especially an attractive one, you should abide by modest virtues. Don't flirt all the time. If you can't even

protect yourself, how can you expect others to protect you? If you tell people that you were 'bullied' on the internet,

they’ll only say you deserved it!"

"..." Stefan was speechless.

What was wrong with him? Why was he arguing with her about this?

In the end, Renee still felt a little guilty. She started coaxing him. "Alright, alright. Don't be sad. I acted too rashly

and didn't take your feelings into consideration... I'll transfer some money to your account later. You can buy some

supplements like ginseng, wolfberries, and oysters. Come on. You're a man. You're supposed to be tougher than

this!"

"..." Stefan remained silent.

Seeing how Stefan stopped complaining, she thought she must've succeeded in consoling him. She immediately

sighed in relief.

She sat upright and looked around the room. She wanted to find her clothes and put them on so that she could

leave.

Regardless of what ridiculous things she did last night, it was in the past. Since she couldn't remember anything,

that also meant nothing had happened. She wasn't going to get all tangled up with this guy!

Renee's clothes were scattered all across the room. Her underwear was even left hanging on the couch. It was very

striking.

"So... If there's nothing else, can you please leave? I want to get dressed," Renee said.

Why couldn't Stefan take the hint and leave? Why did she need to point it out?

Stefan cooperated by turning around. "Go ahead. I won't look."

Renee felt speechless. This wasn't a matter of whether he looked or not!

However, she wasn't bothered to argue with him.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time they had sex-they'd seen each other naked before, and it wasn't a big deal.

Renee lifted the blanket and quickly picked up her scattered clothes. She felt much more at ease after putting them

on.

"I'm leaving. Thanks for last night," Renee said while brushing her hair.

Stefan sneered. "You're a heartless woman. Once you get what you want, you're gone."

Renee chuckled. "What do you want me to do? Do I need to take responsibility?"

"Not to that extent..." Stefan turned around and looked at her affectionately. "If you have needs like this in the

future, feel free to come to me."

"You!" Renee was embarrassed and angry at the same time. She picked up a nearby pillow and hurled it against his

face. "Men are all jerks. I can't believe I felt bad for you for a second. Yucks! How can men ever be taken advantage

of? Save it! I'd rather become a nun than do something like this with you again!"

Stefan wasn't angry at all. It seemed he was making a prediction. "Don't speak so confidently. Otherwise, you'll end

up slapping yourself in the face."

Renee stormed out of the room and bumped into Stefan's friends, who happened to be there for a

gathering...antage of? Didn’t you enjoy it?

"If you didn't enjoy it, you could've resisted. Since you didn't do that, it proved that you admit you enjoyed it. How

can you blame me then?"
