Chapter 8: Turning him down
Berlin had just opened the door to her room, only to see how empty it looked. She thought she had stepped into the wrong room, So she took a step back glanced at the door, and confirmed she was at the right place.
"Where are my things?" She muttered in a low tone, as she walked inside, leaving the door opened
She made her way toward her walk-in closet and saw nothing.
She walked into the bathroom, and she couldn't find anything there. Now noticing the things in her bathroom and bedroom were gone. She began to panic. And then, it dawned on her. She was reborn. So things have changed. Her stuff will not be here but in his room!
It was barely a day since she came back to life and she was already feeling anxious in her chest.
Berlin's hand clutched the side of her dress. She had been leaning on the door, right after she closed it. She could feel her nerves turning errant as she began to walk to Callous's room.
She reached his door and knocked.
Silence.
Berlin hesitated before gripping the doorknob and slowly pushing it open. He wasn't here. That was good. He was probably with his mother. She had to hurry and wash up before he returned.
With this thought in her head, Berlin immediately walked into the walk-in closet. Found the space where her things were arranged. Selected out a nightdress, removed her clothes took her towel and proceeded to cover herself, and that minute, Callous opened the door. Her towel slipped to the floor.
She had just turned her head when the door of the bathroom suddenly opened, heat spreading out from it.
Berlin was startled. She unconsciously covered her breasts.
Callous was wearing a fitted blue silk robe, his muscular body shown clearly. Over six feet tall, he had a nice figure. His curly black hair was still dripping, his eyes fixed on the intruder.
"Ahh!"
She was naked. Berlin was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time. Feeling his gaze, Berlin screamed and turned around, facing him with her back.
"What are you trying to cover?" The callous voice was surprisingly hoarse, "I've already seen everything."
His words made her blush even more.
"You initiated it last night, and you are now trying to play the innocent game. Huh?!"
Berlin's nails dug into her skin as she clenched her fists. "I did not!"
"You did not?" Callous was incredulous.
His face and his look clearly in that he was still one of the most handsome men and unapproachable. Most of the population looked half scared to approach to him. an who can make grown men piss their pants with just one glare. A man who is so mysterious. No one knows much about him, except what he wanted everyone to know. And Berlin knew that and more.
"You were the one, peeping at me in the bathroom. Because when I came in, there was no noise and certainly there was no one here. Don't you think you are being shameless?" She retorted.
"Peeping?" Callous walked up to her. Took her arms forcefully, his black eyes full of contempt.
"Did you not lure me to bed you, pretending to be drunk? What are you going to deny it?"
"I did not..." She did not mean to do that because she was indeed drunk. But there was no way Callous would believe her.
Before Berlin could make a ran towards the bathroom door after seeing the anger in his pitch-black eyes, she was pulled by her arm and thrown onto the only bed in the room, she tried to get out of the bed, but Callous was quick to climb and hover over her body. Pinning her wrists down.
"Why don't we redo what happened last night?" She tried to set her hands free but he was too strong.
"Let me go!" Callous looked down at her with a cold glare.
"Stop acting. This will only disgust me."
His words were like a dagger, piercing Berlin's heart. She could no longer hold back her tears, struggling harder. Looking up, Berlin suddenly sneered in an angry tone, "Do not touch me, Callous! Aren't you disgusted, trying to have sex with a woman like me?"
Callous paused and looked down.
"A woman like me who does not deserve to be by your side or even have your baby. Isn't that right?"
That was what he had said with his mouth! Callous chuckled and held her legs down, parting her legs with his.
Berlin wanted to say something but was stopped before she could. He was rough, taking what he wanted ruthlessly, he was kissing her. However, it was not about affection, or love, only lust, and that was it...
Trembling, She felt her heart aching. The moment he touches her, her body takes over all of her reasoning leaving her at his mercy. But not this lifetime. Berlin felt she was almost unable to breathe. Closing her eyes she was still trying to struggle.
His cell phone suddenly started to buzz loudly on the nightstand. Callous paused and gazed at her. At some point, tears had already covered Berlin's face. He hadn't noticed. He was too drowned in passion.
'She meant it...She was not willing.'
The phone kept vibrating. He felt irritated. Callous got off of her, and reached for the phone.
Picking the phone, Callous looked back and found Berlin huddling up in the corner, far away from him, looking at him with her fiery eyes frightened like a bunny. He finally felt suffocated.
She was turning him down.
'However, last night...'
No matter what it was, Callous knew that he could not force it.
He just thought she was playing hard to get. But at this moment... He was not so despicable as to rape her! Gazing at her, Callous quickly walked into an adjacent room to answer the call, shutting the door.
Hearing the door close. Berlin came back to her senses and almost screamed in horror.
She scrambled from the bed, took her towel from the ground and rushed to the bathroom immediately.
Taking her shower, She was reminded of the previous night, seeing the love bites on her neck, and collarbone. Berlin brushed her skin hard, trying to make the marks on her neck go away. However, her effort was in vain as the marks remained.
In her previous lifetime, Callous had misunderstood what happened. As much as he was drunk, so, was she
Her need for him won, clouding her better judgment.
After he came out of the adjacent room, Berlin had already put her nightdress on and fell asleep. Lying at the edge of the bed, Berlin had crossed her arms in front of her.
Having spent so many years doing business after his father passed, Callous had gained a poker face. However, at this moment, he felt like he was about to explode. Callous lay down and wrapped himself up with the blanket bedside Berlin.
Berlin groaned but was still fast asleep. This woman was deep into sleep like a baby.
But at midnight, Callous discovered just how wrong he was.
