Breakdown
“But | don’t love you!” | yelled, quite surprised at the strained sound in my voice. If this is his idea of a
marriage proposal, it was far from what | had in

helping. Of course, | knew | could be married off
anytime. It is even happening to Zak now as we speak.
Edward just laughed softly in response to my outburst. If my words hurt him, he did not show it.
“That's too bad for you. | like you just fine,” Edward replied smoothly before kissing my lips once more.
“Enough talk. | believe your 5 minutes has ended. My 15 minutes starts now,” Edward stated before
grabbing my body and roughly pulling me on top of
his lap.
| struggled and screamed. The last thing | want is for him to embrace me right now. Edward held me to
him roughly as he peeled my strapless dress
from my breasts. One hand toyed with my breasts roughly as his other arm held me still on his lap. He This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
kissed my mouth wildly to stifle my screams.
Thrusting his hot tongue into my mouth rapidly as he sucked my tongue. | moaned my protests into his
mouth.
Reiner stood stiff as a statue in front of the door he just walked out of. He could clearly hear Natalia’s
scream of anger and frustration. Things are
probably going to get a bit violent between those two if it hasn't started already.
| guess | don’t have to worry about Natalia’s safety.
No matter what Edward says or does, he would never truly hurt Natalia. I’m more worried about
Edward’s safety. He can
definitely come across as an evil and manipulative creature, I would not be surprised if Natalia wants to
kill him right about
now.
At the same time, he could hear loud thumping sounds of objects hitting the floor and crashing sounds
as things inside the
room are clearly being thrown around. He knows that Edward does not resort to serious violence, so
this must be Natalia
throwing a tantrum.
I bit his lips as he came in for another kiss. I don’t think I hurt him badly but he was surprised enough to
relax his hold on my
half-naked body. I used that opportunity to slip off his lap and grabbed my shoes that were lying on the
floor nearby to throw
at him.
“You will stop playing games with me. Leave me and my fucked-up life alone!” I shouted at the top of
my lungs. Apologies to
other guests who may be on this same floor.
I grabbed whatever I could find and threw it in Edward’s direction. I just wanted to destroy everything in
my sight. Even though
I knew deep down that this would not solve any of my problems, I let my emotions get the better of me.
I swore so much at
him that I don’t even remember what I said or if it made any sense at all.
“Natalia! Stop!” Edward called out to me as he grabbed my waist and we both fell on the floor with him
on top of my backside.
I tried desperately to get loose by kicking my legs and wriggling my body from out under him. Edward
overpowered my
struggles easily and pinned my wrists to the floor in front of me with one hand. I screamed in frustration
and started sobbing.
My life wasn’t all roses before but please can I just have my old life back, please.
“Natalia...please stop,” Edward said to me, a silent plead in his voice. He still kept me pinned down to
the floor under his
weight.
“Give me my life back...” I managed to say in between sobs that were wrecking my body. I stop
struggling entirely and cried my
eyes out instead.
I felt like a mess because I was a mess.
Edward stroked my hair and back to comfort me as he kissed my forehead, my ears and my cheeks
softly. So ironic that the
man who drove me mad was also the one comforting me and calming me down.
“Natalia...I’m sorry,” Edward whispered in my ear after I’ve calmed down somewhat. I heard his answer
all in his apology. I’m
sorry for not being able to remove your bodyguard. No matter what happens, Edward has decided to
stand firm in his decision.
Edward got off me silently and carried me in his arms as he walked me to the one of the suite’s
bedroom. He placed me gently
onto the bed and tucked me in. I turned away from him immediately. I didn’t want to see him right now.
“Lucien. Natalia has to sleep over at the hotel tonight. She’s a bit sick. Don’t worry, Reiner and I will be
here to take care of
her... Ill send her back home tomorrow. Sorry about this,” Edward spoke to Lucien calmly on the phone.
“Natalia has to sleep here. Prepare some clothes for her,” Edward ordered through the phone. That
was probably Reiner on the
end of the line.
Edward’s voice is getting softer and softer, and he seemed further and further away as I cried myself to
sleep. Dear troubles, I
will deal with you when I wake up tomorrow.
