Chapter 268: Chapter 268: As Noble as a Queen (Part 2)
However, before she even touched him, her wrist was caught. He applied slight force, and she fell onto the bed with Elias Hawthorne pressing down on her.
Staring at the woman beneath him, Elias’s dark eyes grew deeper, a hint of fire flashing through them: "Whether I am a man or not, I can show you right now."
Raina struggled but was completely powerless to break free, and the friction of their bodies made the man’s eyes grow even darker, his breath becoming heavier.
Raina’s body stiffened, her expression instantly colder: "I never imagined President Hawthorne has a taste for necrophilia. Seeing your demeanor, it seems you weren’t satisfied last night. Don’t blame me, a woman who’s given birth, can’t be as tight as a virgin. If you still need more, I can arrange some youthful and beautiful college girls for you, guaranteed to be mesmerized."
Elias’s face immediately darkened, his gaze filled with displeasure, and he snapped coldly: "Shut up!" He pinched Raina’s chin, his grip strong, an angry expression on his face: "Who gave you permission to insult yourself like this?"
Raina let out a cold laugh: "President, it seems you haven’t grasped the situation. You’re the one insulting me."
"Me? Raina, you’re silly like this, I’m not happy." Elias’s rough thumb brushed against the delicate skin of her face: "Earlier, I was careless, didn’t realize the medication powder on your clothes was so potent, causing intolerable itching upon contact. But I saw you sleeping soundly and couldn’t bring myself to wake you, so I dealt with it myself, yet you accuse me like this."
Raina was suddenly stunned upon hearing this: "You’re saying the marks on your body are because you touched the medication on my clothes?"
"What else? Did you really think I did something to you? Took advantage of your unconsciousness and slept with you?"
"No..."
"Raina." Elias interrupted her, looking at her and speaking deliberately: "I am legally married to you, so even if something happens, it’s reasonable. Also, don’t underestimate me!"
Grinding his teeth with suppressed anger: "Do you really think that if I wanted you, you’d be able to get up from bed?"
"Uh..." Raina felt embarrassed.
Raina remained silent, but Elias was not satisfied. He pinched her chin with a threatening force: "This is the first time, I won’t allow you to belittle yourself like this. A woman like you standing at the top of the pyramid deserves everyone’s admiration and worship. Raina, you should be as noble as a queen."
Raina was stunned.
Watching the man’s furrowed brow and stern expression, she heard a loud thump, and then the heartbeat in her chest grew faster, racing and out of control, as if her heart had a problem.
Over the years, she had been pursued by countless men, had seen innumerable outstanding men, but none had made her heart race, cheeks blush, and awaken those first tender feelings, realizing she was falling for a man for the first time.
But, no.
This person is Elias Hawthorne; any man in the world could, but Elias is the exception.
Raina withdrew her gaze, her expression turning cold.
"President Hawthorne, is this your way of worshipping a queen?"
Elias raised an eyebrow with a faint smile: "Is this your way of goading me?"
"No, I’m just confirming what President Hawthorne said."
"Ha." Elias looked helpless: "You really don’t want to suffer any losses. Rest assured, what I say will be kept."
The main issue is that facing a woman like Raina, even if he wanted to break his word, he wouldn’t have the chance.
