Chapter 207: The Password
Scarlett's POV:
In the amusement park… Charles brought me to the roller coaster.
It began to move and rose slowly, inching towards the top: Frightened, I subconsciously grabbed Charles's hand and gripped it tight.
"Why are we riding the roller coaster? Have you ever rode on one before?"
Charles separated my fingers slowly and clasped our hands together.
As the roller coaster was about to reach the highest point, he suddenly turned around to stare deeply at me.He spoke to me, and his voice was a seductive whisper.
"Isn't this exciting?"
"N-no.Ahhhh…!"
The roller coaster jerked and took a sudden sharp turn downward, blowing away my words.I found myself screaming at the top of my lungs.
Mercifully, the ride soon ended.
After I got off, I felt as if I was floating and walking on air.I didn't have the strength to care about where Charles was taking me to.
"Let's do this." Charles stopped at a certain spot.
I looked up to where he was indicating.
Immediately, despair filled me.
It was bungee jumping! However, I didn't let Charles have his way this time.
I dragged him away from there and took him to ride bumper cars instead.
When the staff asked me if I wanted to drive with my friend or alone, I glanced at Charles and chose the latter.
The interior of the bumper car was narrow, and I didn't want to sit shoulder to shoulder with him.
The moment I started the car, a huge force banged into me from behind and my car jerked forward violently.
I turned around to glare behind me, my eyes burning with anger, only to be met with a playful gaze.
Charles was grinning cheekily at me, amused.
"Charles!" I gave him a warning roar.
Charles acted as if he hadn't heard anything and kept running into my car over and over.
My car bounced back and forth, attacked from all sides not just by Charles, but also by other players in the ring.
All the spinning and jerking around made me extremely dizzy.
When I finally staggered out of the bumper car, I clutched the railings for dear balance.
It took me a while to recover from the dizziness and return to my senses.
"Are you okay?" Charles asked concernedly as he hurried over to me.
Annoyed, I pushed him away.
"Stay away from me!"
I turned around, about to leave, but my legs were so weak that I almost fell down.
Charles quickly pulled me into his arms and said gently, "Don't force yourself."
I replied with an angry glare, not saying anything.But I was exhausted, so I ended up leaning against his strong and warm chest.I didn't want to move at all.
Charles carried me all the way to his car.
He reclined the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt for me.It was so comfortable, I couldn't help but sigh happily.
Charles then got in the car and took the driver's seat.He looked at me, his eyes narrowed slightly and his lips pursed.
The expression gave him the impression of a noble but unapproachable man.
However, I could sense a hidden danger behind the look on his face.
Nervous, I inched close to the door. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"W-what's wrong with you today? Why were you so crazy?"
The way he acted earlier in the amusement park was as if he was venting his emotions.
What did he need to vent? I pondered about it for a long time, but I couldn't find any answer to it.
After a while, Charles finally looked away.
That made me relieved.
He drove away from the amusement park and entered the highway.
Fewer and fewer cars were present on the road, and soon, Charles sped up.
The scenery outside the car blurred rapidly.
I looked at the dashboard, only to be startled.The speed had reached 120 miles per hour!
"Charles! You're driving too fast!"
Fearing for dear life, I clutched my seat belt tightly and looked at the man beside me uneasily.
He had prominent brow ridges, with thick and dashing eyebrows and a pair of deep eyes that seemed to swallow everything.
Right now, those deep eyes were looking straight ahead, expressionless.
Somehow, I could catch a flash of cruelty in them.
"Charles!" I called him again, but he didn't respond.
The car continued to speed along the sparsely populated road.
I grabbed the handrail, holding it tightly as I closed my eyes in fear.
My heart beat rapidly in my chest, pounding hard against my ribcage.
"Scarlett."
Charles's low and hoarse voice took me by surprise.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the car had stopped at an intersection.If I got out of the car and took a right, I would be home.I loosened my grip on the handrail, unfastened the seat belt, and tried to
open the door.
However, it was still locked.
"Open it.I'm getting off the car."
"Not here."
His low voice rang once more.
The red light in front of us turn green.
The car started again, but it went left.
"Stop the car!"
I tried to stop him in a hurry, but he paid no heed to me.
Helpless, I had no choice but to fasten my seat belt again.
"Where are we going?"
Very soon, I got the answer.
Charles finally stopped at the gate of the Moore mansion.
I clenched my clothes, recalling Charles's strange behavior earlier today.
A bad premonition rose in my heart "Let's go home."
Charles unfastened the seat belt for me and gently took my hand before kissing it.
At this moment, my blood froze.
There was something obviously wrong with him.
"I can't, I have something else to do today.I want to go back to my own home."
Charles smiled and got off the car.
Then, he opened the door of the passenger seat for me.
"Do you really don't want to come with me?"
"No.You don't have to send me…"
Before I could finish, he bent down and picked me up.
"Ah! C-Charles!"
Ignoring my pleas, he carried me to the villa.
All my struggles were in vain.My legs were tightly locked in front of him.
His huge hand spanked my buttocks slyly.
"Be good."
My cheeks turned bright red as shame and anger filled me.
"What are you doing?! Put me down now!"
To my surprise, he did put me down.
I took a deep breath, about to scold him, but he suddenly closed the distance between us and stood right in front of me.
The dim lights outside the villa shone on him, outlining his handsome profile.
My heart began to beat quickly as a sense of anticipation rose in me.
Charles caught me off guard and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into his arms.
The next second, he grabbed my lips for a fierce kiss.
Stunned and shocked, my mind stagnated, and my voice was broken by the kiss.
"Charles…"
Charles pushed me against the wall, kissing me with ferocious desire.
The tip of his tongue pressed against my teeth and soon intertwined with my tongue.
He kissed me so violently, the pain made me wince.
I wanted to push him away, but he grabbed my hands and pressed them over my head, leaving me no room to resist.
He was literally taking my breath away! I gasped and opened my mouth, trying to breathe in more air.
Yet, Charles grabbed my jaw and kissed me more ferociously than ever.
He only let go of me when he saw that I almost suffocated.
Breaking the kiss, he then picked me up again and made his way to the door.
"Charles, I won't go in." I still had a shred of reason remaining.
His desire for me was so strong, I couldn't imagine what would happen after we entered the house.
"Then, we can do it here…"
Charles whispered, his voice deep and hoarse with desire.
So shocked I was, my body stiffened.
Charles leaned against my back suggestively.
Suddenly, the air between us turned ambiguous.
I watched nervously as he entered the lock password.
A small beep followed, and I was stunned.
The password turned out to be the date of our wedding.
Back then, whenever I came here, it was always the butler who opened the door for me.
I never expected the lock password of the Moore mansion to be our wedding date.
My heart began to waver as mixed feelings surged in me.
