Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everything in the dream was vague, and all his thoughts were chaotic. Everything was messed up by the subjective emotions in his memory.

Theodore looked at the cup of water beside the bed for a long time, but his vision was becoming blurred. He heard a familiar voice beside his ear, “Theodore, are you alright?”

His body was almost uncontrollably attracted by this voice. He turned over to press his body on her.

The woman under him was also cooperative. She stroked his chest, unbuttoned his shirt, and it gradually fell down. The belt buckle flew in the air, making a crisp metal sound.

With a ‘clang’, Theodore suddenly opened his eyes and saw the woman beneath him. Her clothes were in disarray and her pair of lucid eyes were filled with a burning desire.

His brain went blank in an instant. He turned over and sat up without even thinking about it.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

At this moment, Josephine’s delicate face was flushed red, and her eyes were filled with mist. She looked at Theodore, revealing the timidness and anticipation that only a young girl could have. “Theodore…”

Theodore placed his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down. However, he realized that his body was unusually hot. This was definitely not the reaction from drinking too much alcohol.

Someone had drugged him.

Seven years ago, he took over the Godfrey Group. Up until now, he grew from a layman who knew nothing, to a man who now controlled the future of the entire Godfrey Group. What kind of storms had he not experienced?

“What did you do?” Theodore’s eyes darkened as he glanced at the woman lying on the bed.

Josephine was stunned for a moment, her face full of innocence. “What are you talking about?”

“What was in the glass of wine you gave me?”

“I didn’t do anything…” Josephine bit her lip and refused to admit it.

When her friend gave her the drug, she said that the effect of the drug was strong and fast-acting. As long as they were in the same room, they would absolutely be able to make love.

Looking at the time, it was not the best moment for the drug to take effect. Josephine was too anxious, thus she rushed over early.

Theodore wanted to say something, but his head hurt so much that his vision blurred. Josephine’s gentle and elegant face distorted, and in the end, it matched with the face in his memory that he could not get rid of.

His body was getting hotter and hotter.

Realizing that Theodore was acting weirdly, Josephine became bold. Clenching her teeth, she moved closer to Theodore and breathed on his shoulder from behind, “Theodore, we’re getting married soon. I’ve been waiting for this day…”

There were few men in the world who could resist the temptation of women, especially with the help of drugs.

There was only one last bit of rationality left in Theodore’s mind. Without any hesitation, he pushed Josephine away, got out of the bed, and barged out of the door without even turning his head.

“Theodore!” Josephine fell on the bed and staggered. She turned over and tried to stop him, but the man had already left without turning back, leaving for her a loud bang on the door.

Josephine was so furious that she threw the pillow to the ground. She clenched the sheets under her, and her face was full of humiliation and unwillingness.

Would she have to spend her life alone after marriage? Then, what was the difference between their marriage and a marriage of convenience?

At the same time, in the corridor of the hotel, the man on the carpet was staggering more and more.

After the drug took effect in his body, the blood of his whole body seemed to be boiling, and every nerve was jumping with excitement…

From afar, he saw a familiar figure swiping a room card. Theodore immediately froze on the spot.

Everleigh drank a lot of wine, and her head was a little dizzy. Fortunately, Christopher knew her well. He knew that she was not a good drinker, and she had little alcohol tolerance. After that, when some relatives and friends came to make her a toast, he pushed them all away. Then, he urged her to go up and rest for a while, and then he would pick her up after the banquet ended.

Everleigh hadn’t thought that she’d run into Theodore.

But even if they did, what would it change?

A cold glance flashed across Everleigh’s beautiful face. She swiped the card and the sound of the door opening could be heard. She pulled down the doorknob and was ready to go in. She didn’t even greet Theodore.

Seeing that she completely ignored him, Theodore didn’t know if it was the alcohol or the effect of the drug that was affecting his sanity, but a burst of anger rushed up. He strode forward, pushed open the door, and grabbed Everleigh’s wrist before she closed the door.

With a bang, Everleigh’s back hit the door, making a loud noise. The huge shadow in front of her covered her whole body, like a dark cloud, full of pressure.

“What are you doing? Let me go.” Everleigh struggled to pull out her hand.

Under the effect of alcohol, Theodore couldn’t control his force, almost crushing her thin wrists. His face sank. “I never thought you’d be so capable as to get married without a word?”

With just a sentence, he drew out the air around them, and the atmosphere turned suffocating.

Everleigh knew that she couldn’t fight him. The force on her wrist made it hard for her to breathe, but she still gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, congratulate me, Mr. Godfrey.”

The words “Mr. Godfrey” were extraordinarily sharp and powerful, piercing into the man’s eardrum.

His eyebrows trembled fiercely. Under his thick eyebrows, his inky eyes seemed to be immersed in ice, making people feel cold and trembling at a glance.

No one knew better than himself that he wanted Everleigh to deny her marriage with Christopher.

However, she admitted it without hesitation.

Theodore’s voice was so heavy that it sounded almost oppressive and hoarse. “When did it happen?”

Everleigh frowned because of the pain on her wrist, but she gritted her teeth. “Seven years ago.”

“Which month?”

Theodore refused to give up and continued to ask for more details.

“December,” Everleigh answered quickly, and even added in detail, “On Christmas Day.”

On Christmas seven years ago, she was pregnant for six months. With a big belly, she was dragged to the notary office by Christopher to register their marriage. They swore that they would be together forever in the notary office in Maniville. After leaving, one went to the laboratory and the other went to the nightclub. No one took it seriously.

Theodore naturally wouldn’t hear the details from Everleigh. In his mind, Everleigh being married on Christmas was another huge blow for him.

Everleigh’s favorite holiday was Christmas. She once said that if she was to be married one day, she must get the marriage certificate with him on Christmas.

“So the children are Christopher’s?” Red veins in his eyes spread wildly, staring at the woman in the shadow with blood-thirsty eyes.

Everleigh’s wrist was almost numb from the pain. “It’s none of your business. Let me go.”

“None of your business?” Theodore’s eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost in December. He slammed his fist against the door. The wind from the punch swept past Everleigh’s ear, causing her face to turn pale. She closed her eyes abruptly.

With a bang, there was a buzz in her ears.

Soon, fresh blood flowed down on the panes of the white door. It was a shocking sight to behold.

Everleigh’s expression changed, and when she looked up, there was panic in her eyes. “You’re crazy!”

Theodore’s thin and cold lips trembled slightly. The blood in his veins seemed to have been soaked in magma, boiling with rage. He didn’t even think about it as he bent down to kiss the woman’s lips.
