He abruptly increased his strength, and a feeling of suffocation followed.
âEven if something goes wrong, Morgan will do everything he can to get you out, wonât he!â
Dexter moved closer, his thin lips pressing against her lower jaw, almost brushing against her ear. Josie felt a chill down her spine, gasping for breath. âWho gave you the video?â
âIâve told you before,â Dexter said, noticing her flushed face and slightly loosening his grip. âMorgan and Wayne are partners.â
Itâs Morgan⦠Josie was somewhat reluctant to believe it. Not long ago, he said he could help me.
Seeing the calculating look in her eyes, Dexter quickly guessed what she was thinking. He scoffed.
âYouâre courting death, thinking you can make Morgan bow his head. Youâre too full of yourself.â
He spoke those words with anger. Evidently, he was upset.
Josie tilted her head back, grabbing his wrist, trying to break free.
âMy ex-wife is quite capable. All the men around her are big shots.â Dexter curled his thin lips in mockery. âBut she isnât very smart, allowing herself to be used by each one of them. Tell me, what does it take for her to realize that I am her only pillar of support?â
Josie felt suffocated, listening to him.
Whenever Dexter went on a rampage, he wouldnât stop until his anger was vented.
âYou, huh? Youâve been taking Heather to important events. Isnât that your way of announcing to the world that sheâs the future Mrs. Russell?â Josie asked him, word by word. Arenât you the same? Youâre someone who will stop at nothing for the sake of profit?â
Dexterâs eyes were unfathomably deep as he held her chin, forcing her to part her lips. âSuch a sharp tongue you have. Has Morgan kissed it yet?â
âYou!â
âHe taught you how to play the piano.â His voice carried the calm before the storm of rage.
âWhat else did he teach you?â The manâs hand, adorned with rosary beads, slowly extended downward, a roughness laced its languid movement.
The sound of her zipper being pulled down rang out.
Josie screamed, baung down on the back of his hand, âDexter! You beast!â
Dexter didnât hold bark at all He knew exactly where she was most sensitive and was particularly intense Scring her complex expression as she ulted her head back in embarrassment, he chuckled lightly âHas Morgan ever seep you like dus! I donât think so. Your first time was with me âDexterâ I swear Fifcall the patice! Josie was almost out of breath and even though she had baten his Land hard crengh to draw blood by all wouldnât let go pet hearing that in pressed deeper Josie sop to risks others have taught you on me I find it repulsive âWeâre already divorced. You have no right to control me anymore.â Josie took a deep breath, like a fish out of water.
âYour body is more honest than your words.â Dexter coldly observed her conflicted demeanor. Finally, his irritation dissipated.
Josie closed her eyes in defeat, realizing that her body, which he had trained, was now beyond even her own control.
She didnât know how much time had passed when she shivered all over. Dexter finally let her go, pulling out a piece of paper to clean his fingers. âEven if weâre divorced, youâre still my woman.â
Josieâs lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.
He opened the car door. âWhen we get back to Wavery, Iâll give you a gift.â
The night wind blew in, dispersing the scent of intimacy. Josie transitioned from burning passion to cool calmness, shivering slightly.
She stumbled out of the car, looking at him as if he were a demon. âBeast.â
Dexter didnât mind. The driver had already gotten into the car. He spoke up. âDrive.â
The vehicle sped off, its exhaust fumes swirling into nothingness. Josie felt weak, wishing nothing more than to kill Dexter.
