Translator: 549690339
Whenever the events of that night three years ago were brought up, Ruby Gregory’s heart felt as if it was being cut by a sharp blade, silently pouring out unbearable pain.
Despite appearing calm in front of her parents, not showing any grief or shedding a single tear, it didn’t mean that she didn’t care deep inside.
In unfamiliar Costa Luna, she often thought about that night when she was alone, remembering the hurtful and ruthless words he said to her: Although it was your first time and you were somewhat shy, it wasn’t enough for me to fully enjoy, but I still quite liked it… However, only last night’s Ruby in bed!
Regardless of how sad Ruby felt inside at that moment, she didn’t allow herself to show any of it in front of Steve Burton, so she blinked and gave him a soft smile: “I just remembered, I haven’t unplugged the juicer.”
With that, Ruby turned around, trying to leave the bedroom.
Steve, however, suddenly reached out to grab her wrist, pulled her forcefully towards the bed, and then flipped himself over, pinning Ruby down beneath him.
Ruby quickly regained her senses, vaguely knowing what he was about to do. She didn’t know if it was because of their recent encounters when he had hurt her significantly, but she had been increasingly repulsed by the idea of doing such things with him. Subconsciously wanting to struggle, she thought about the Gregorys and her parents, who had placed all their hopes on her, eventually closing her eyes.
Her eyelashes trembled with extra intensity, revealing her inner resistance and fear.
Steve’s gaze was constantly fixated on Ruby, he could see her reluctance and her endurance.
She clearly didn’t want to do these things with him, but forced herself to endure them instead.
Steve’s chest was slightly heaving as he stared at Ruby with closed eyes for a long time. Then, he lowered his head and covered her lips with his.
Ruby’s body was still rigid, like a piece of wood, unknowingly making Steve feel as if he was doing these things with an inflatable doll without a soul.
He saw her tightly clenching her wrists.
He remembered a previous encounter in the car when he had accidentally discovered a half-bloodied nail on her hand.
So, it turned out she relied on the pain from there to distract herself from the feelings of their intimate acts.
Steve, afraid that she might hurt herself by gripping her palm so tightly, took her stockings from the side and wrapped them around her wrists, binding them tightly.
Unable to use her wrists, Ruby could no longer rely on clenching her fists to distract herself.
Nevertheless, her face remained calm, showing no reaction.
Steve couldn’t help but increase the intensity, hoping to use the pain to evoke her response.
However, she just kept her eyes shut tightly, silently enduring everything.
Even the slightest whimper or furrowed brow due to pain, she did not give him.
