Chapter 278 Let Go of Me, Luke Crawford...
Luke walked toward the parking lot with Bianca in his arms.
She lay there limply, wrapped up in Luke's windbreaker with only her head peeking out. Through the opening of the windbreaker,
she could see Luke's divine facial features shrouded by an aura of hostility. It was colder than the piercing wind outside, and it
made her teeth chatter.
Bianca's face remained unnaturally red. She writhed uncomfortably in his arms.
"Luke..." She sounded as though she was crying.
She had pretended to be strong earlier, but the pretense was all but gone.
Bianca did not know why she cried when she saw him, but she could not control her emotions.
Her insides were burning, forming a stark contrast with the chilly weather outside.
Luke's unpleasant expression made Bianca uneasy and aggrieved...
He continued walking forward as he held her tightly, though he had never once lowered her head to look at her. Bianca could feel
that his anger was mounting.
They reached the car, and Jason carried her inside.
Jason started the engine and turned his head to ask, "Mr. Crawford, are we going to the hospital or Ms. Rayne's house?" "I want
to go home." Tears started to slide down Bianca's cheeks when she saw that Luke was ignoring her.
Luke's jawline was taut. "To Earlston."
Earlston was a five-star hotel under T Corporation.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning. Jason sped to the hotel entrance and reached there quickly.
Bianca was dipping in and out of consciousness. The effects of the drug made her miserable. She writhed in Luke's arms and
even rubbed her body against his.
Bianca was not being herself, though she remained as charming as ever. However, her almost-scorching body heat reminded
Luke about the drug in her veins.
The man's eyes flashed with hostility when he was reminded of Xavier's inhuman deeds.
'This woman doesn't know how to keep herself safe.
'She knows that Xavier isn't a good person, but she goes to her anyway.
She would have been violated if not that I arrived there on time.' 3
When he was reminded that Xavier had nearly violated his woman, he wished that he could chop Xavier into a million pieces.
The front desk manager went up to greet Luke when he stepped into the hotel.
She was visibly surprised when she saw Luke carry a woman in his arms, but she knew better than to say anything.
The manager wanted to escort them to the presidential suite, but Luke waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to be
followed. He brought Bianca to the elevator lobby.
"Let go of me, Luke..." Bianca's voice was hoarse. The drug was still in full effect, and she felt as though she was about to die.
"Are you scared now? It's too late!" Luke heavily nibbled on Bianca's earlobe.
Bianca's nasal cavity was filled with the man's scent. She greedily took in a deep breath as though his presence would expel the
scorching heat in her body.
Luke noticed her subconscious actions. He saw that Bianca's skin was red- hot and wet with perspiration, and the corners of his
lips curled up in a sinister smile. "Look at you now, Bianca. I should record this and show it to you when you're conscious..."
Bianca's eyes misted up with tears when she heard Luke's mockery. She shied away from his gaze, and waves of agony
assaulted her mind.
How was she going to explain to him that she had no other choice?
If she did not do what Xavier ordered her, Nina's life would be in peril.
Moreover, his phone was switched off when she needed him. What else could she do? 1
Luke thought that Bianca had looked away out of guilt. His heart was fraught with a complicated mix of emotions.
His smile became colder. "Do you think that I can't satisfy you? I was only away for a few days, and you're so eager to get into
another man's bed? I never knew that you're such a loose woman!"
Luke's harsh words pierced her to the bone. The relentless accusations made her spine shiver.
She looked into his eyes, full of disbelief.
She saw that the veins of his forehead were bulging out of anger. "Do you think that I'm that type of woman, Luke?" Bianca said
disappointedly.
In the twenty-four years of her life, Luke was the only man she loved.
It was not an exaggeration to say that she had devoted her heart and soul to him.
Ever since she met him since they were young, he was like glimmering starlight that had illuminated her barren heart, spread
across her body, planted a seed of confidence in her black, hollow eyes, and brought her out of her inferior self.
Since then, every single one of his words and movements had swayed her.
Thinking of him became an addiction she could not quit.
Bianca knew that Luke was going to be her downfall.
However, the man whom she loved was using such harsh words on her. Pain drowned her like the incoming tide. She hid away
the sorrow in her eyes and looked straight at Luke.
She was trembling with anger, but she did not want the misunderstanding to deepen. "I don't care what you think of me, Luk, but
the truth is not like what you think." i
The corners of Luke's lips curled upward into a sinister smile. His dark brown eyes flashed with a dim light as he looked at how
pathetic Bianca was.
He leaned close to her ear. "It's not like what I think? Then what is it? I saw with my eyes that you were lying on Xavier's bed with
him over your body. Why, do you enjoy him violating you?"
Luke's words were like a red-hot iron brand that pressed on Bianca's heart.
If a sword could kill, what was more lethal than a sword were harsh words from a loved one that questioned one's loyalty.
Bianca was losing her mind from her fever. The strange sensation in her lower abdomen humiliated her, but the man's words had
plunged her into despair.
She struggled relentlessly in his embrace, punching and kicking, but she could not break free.
"Let go of me! If you don't believe me, then why do you still care for me? Whatever happens to me... has nothing to do with
you...” Bianca screamed helplessly. She had never felt so hopeless.
Her joy of seeing Luke in his direst moment had been drowned by anger.
The heat inside her and the coldness outside of her assaulted her senses. The more she struggled, the more her body rubbed
against Luke's body. The sensation was driving her crazy.
Ding!
The elevator door opened.
Luke brought the crying and struggling woman into the elevator.
He held her close to him, no matter how she screamed. His face maintained the expression of a conqueror...
