RedNovelChapter 258 "Who is it?" As his grip tightened around her throat, Victoria felt as though she might suffocate. Her vision blurred at the edges, and for a moment, she thought she might pass out.
This time, McNeil was truly furious. Realizing she was struggling to breathe, he loosened his hold-just enough to let her gasp for air.
"You and Marcus. Did you sleep with him?" Ever since he'd first brought up divorce, she'd wondered how many men he thought she'd taken to bed. He accused her of being kept by someone, seducing Curtis at Quantum Core Technologies and turning him into her puppet. And now, apparently, she'd set her sights on Marcus too.
"McNeil, letgo-" Victoria tried to break free, but the harder she fought, the more it seemed to excite him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespair settled in as she realized there was no way to overpower him. The terror that comes right before death- she felt it, raw and real.
McNeil looked like a demon risen straight from hell, his eyes burning crimson in the dark, brimming with fury that threatened to tear the world apart.
He released her, only to shove her roughly onto the backseat. Before she could catch her breath, he pinned her wrists above her head, trapping her beneath him. Victoria saw in his eyes exactly what he intended, and her struggles grew frantic.
"What's wrong? Don't tellyou've forgotten what we used to do, just because it's been a while." He yanked at her blouse without the slightest hint of pity, tearing it open. Victoria felt like a butterfly, stripped bare and pinned, helpless to escape.
Her pale arms glimmered in the faint light, smooth and flawless as polished marble, and the sight only seemed to ignite something reckless in McNeil.
"McNeil, do you even know what you look like right now?" He seemed absolutely unhinged, and Victoria couldn't figure out why. Was this jealousy? Had seeing her with Marcus pushed him over the edge? The thought almost made her laugh. How self-important could she be? He didn't care who she was with. Maybe he was just bitter-because she'd chosen one of his friends, perhaps, and not him.
But Victoria was no fool. She had no interest in men who didn't want her. Whether it was Curtis or Marcus, she would never get involved with anyone from McNeil's circle. Not anymore. Not even McNeil himself, whom she'd once loved more than life.
"Right now? You look like a desperate animal..." She spat the words, wanting to provoke him. To her surprise, McNeil just laughed a low, dangerous sound.
"Oh? So I'm an animal in bed? But you always liked it when I was a beast, didn't you?" He leaned closer, his hands gripping her jaw so hard she thought it might break.

"You spend every day surrounded by men. Do you even know what they really think of you? you think you're e shigh-flying executive, but to them, you're just a plaything. No one sees your hard work-they only want.
your body." Physically, the pain was excruciating, but it was nothing compared to the way his words shredded her heart.
"And what about you?" Victoria 'm forced herself to meet his gaze, ignoring the agony in her jaw. Once, just a look from him could make her dizzy with love. Now, she felt nothing but cold resolve. The man who'd once seemed like a god had becher nightmare after six years of marriage from hell. Whatever she'd felt for him was well and truly gone.
McNeil's expression faltered, then hardened. "Victoria. I really underestimated you." He felt like she was toying with him, pulling every string, twisting him up inside with every move she made.
Victoria's eyes turned icy. Sensing his grip slacken for just a moment, she broke free, scrambling toward the car door. With trembling hands, she fumbled to button her blouse, doing her best to put herself back together.
