G 6961 Finished Sold To a Handsome Trillionaire Chapter 257 Because Youâre My Wife And how long could his love really last?
It was a gambleâone Caroline was too afraid to lose.
to So she chose not to play.
They locked eyes for three long seconds before Davidâs fingers traced along her collarbone, outlining its shape. Tâm having you tonight. No matter what.â
It wasnât a question. It was a statement.
An absolute, undeniable fact.
âAlright.â Caroline nodded. Then Iâll do what you did Iâll cut myself, bleed a lot... Would you still be interested in me then?â
Davidâs brow furrowed tightly. âDonât you dare.â
âTry me.â
She had already noticed the vase nearby, just within reach.
All she had to do was smash it, grab a shard, and slash her wrist...
If David could do it, so could she.
âCaroline, do you really hate the idea of being mine that much?â His hand hovered near her throatâjust the slightest pressure, and he could choke her. âDo you despise the thought of having my children that much?â
âThere are plenty of women whoâd want that. Why force me?â
âBecause youâre my wife!â
David wanted to tighten his gripâwanted to squeeze the life out of her.
Caroline had become his weakness, the one person who could shake his emotions.
If she were dead, he wouldnât have to care about her anymore.
But in the very next second, the thought vanished. Because he couldnât bear it.
He couldnât bear to see her die.
He couldnât bear to see her hurt.
âI know what youâre planning, David murmured, his grip slightly tightening. âSmash the vase, grab a shard, cut yourselfâ
His voice darkened. âYouâve learned my tricks well.â
Caroline met his gaze. âYou taught me.â

After spending so much time with David, she had picked up more than a few things.
Finished Tilting her chin slightly, she said, âGo ahead, strangle me. Kill me or knock me out, I donât care. But what I wonât accept... is being taken by you under the influence of that drug Davidâs eyes narrowed. And if there was no drug? If I st... wanted you?â
Caroline bit down on her lip. âI still wouldnât want it.â
His hand suddenly tightened.
Air rushed from her lungs, and a wave of suffocation swept through her body. Her face scrunched in pain..
But the sensation only lasted a second.
Then, suddenly, the weight lifted.
Carolineâs eyes flew open. David had let go.
He had pushed himself off her and was now standing by the couch, his back turned.
He let her go?
She had braced herself for a long struggle, thinking shed teeter on the edge of death, barely clinging to life.
She never expected him to release her so quickly.
Slowly, Caroline sat upâonly to catch a flash of red in Her vision.
Her eyes widened. âDavid, your wound is bleeding again!â
The white bandages were soaked in crimson, the stain growing rapidly.
She had clearly stopped the bleeding earlier, but now the wound had reopened. It had to be because of his reckless movements.
Serves him right, she thought If he hadnât grabbed her, hadnât tried to choke her, hadnât refused to restâthen maybe he wouldnât be bleeding all over again.
David glanced down at the blood, completely indifferet. Without a word, he turned and strode toward the bathroom.
Just before he stepped inside, he said, âWhereâs my ice?â
Caroline froze for a moment before jolting into action, scrambling off the couch and diving for the bedside phone.
She called the front desk. âSend ice. As much as you can!â
