Seeing Katrina"s worried and nervous expression, Aaron is in a good mood and thinks she cares about him.
But after hearing the second half of her questions, Aaron"s handsome face suddenly turns gloomy.
This stupid woman has a rich imagination.
Does she see him as a wicked villain who commits crimes every day?
Aaron stares at Katrina with a dark and sullen look.
Feeling a hint of danger, Katrina shuts up and looks down at her book as if nothing happened.
Despite his extremely handsome face, Aaron doesn"t seem like a good man at all.
In the beginning, he wrongly accused her of a thief and arrested her on the street. Until now, he forces her to stay with him and refuses to let her go.
He"s kept her in captivity for so long. Does he dare say that his actions aren"t illegal?
Katrina becomes extremely depressed when she remembers this.
She"s a policewoman who was bullied in such a way, and she can"t even save herself. It"s a disgrace to her profession.
But it"s not entirely her fault that she still hasn"t escaped after such a long time.
The villa is heavily guarded. She"s a weak woman without enough strength and resources to defeat the strong bodyguards. It"s impossible to run away forcibly.
Additionally, Aaron confiscated her cell phone, and the landline is monitored. She can"t call for help at all. Even if she occasionally sneaks into Aaron"s computer to surf the Internet, he will see her browsing history. Because she doesn"t overdo it, he turns a blind eye. If she dares to ask for help, the consequences will only be worse.
When she tried to run away, she paid a heavy price.
The first time, she escaped from his sight for only ten minutes before she was immediately caught again. For her trouble, she was confined to the balcony under the rain and got severely ill.
The second time, while he was away on a business trip, she pretended to be pitiful to deceive his heelers into taking her to a hospital so she could sneak away. But her plan failed. He came back that night and pounced on her on the bed.
Katrina has been so cautious, but she still couldn"t escape the doom of defeat in the end.
The cost of each misery is enough for her to learn and mature. Now, she doesn"t dare be as reckless as she used to be and think that she can escape if she can defeat him.
Without a more comprehensive plan, she doesn"t dare do anything exceeding what is deemed proper. Because in the end, she will be the one to suffer.
Aaron will surely take all his displeasure out on her.
Such as forcing her to do things she doesn"t want to do in bed.
Anyway, Katrina gets to know a little bit about Aaron"s character after spending so much time together.
After getting to know each other, he isn"t as cold and rude as when they first met. Although he"s gentle sometimes, he"s a dangerous man by nature, like a sleeping wolf in hibernation.
If she doesn"t annoy him, he won"t find fault with her. In many cases, he intentionally or unintentionally protects her, making her feel the illusion of care and love.
But if she makes him angry, the consequences will be miserable. His brutish nature is thoroughly provoked, and it"s as terrible as the devil.
Katrina isn"t a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. After many failures, she concludes that it"s impossible to fight head-on against a man like Aaron.
If you"re tough, he will become harsher to suppress you.
Thus, Katrina learns her lesson and behaves well.
In front of him, she tries to be obedient to him to avoid conflict and confrontation.
Perhaps one day, when he trusts her enough, he will let his guard down a little and give her a more likely chance to leave.
Katrina"s obedience is very useful to Aaron.
She"s sitting on the sofa with her head bowed down to read, her white and tender legs stretching out side by side, her profile quiet and beautiful. She looks like a lazy cat, and Aaron unconsciously smiles at the sight.
The atmosphere is quiet and calm.
With her by his side, even sitting on the sofa and reading magazines seem a lot more relaxed than before.
Before meeting Katrina, there were only two colors in the world of Aaron: black and white.
His daily life is busy and monotonous. Because of insomnia and other reasons, his whole body is covered with faint violence. His personality is also cold and irritable.
But since he met Katrina, his life is gradually becoming colorful.
Aaron is beginning to have emotions and care for someone.
He doesn"t know why this stupid woman attracts him and affects his mood. But he"s cured of years of insomnia.
Like the discovery of the New World, he finds a sport that he enjoys, which is lovemaking in bed with her.
Aaron has a fatal attraction to her.
He wishes to stay with her forever.
At first, he forced her to stay just because of his interest in her. She"s always been very disagreeable.
But now, she"s obedient and doesn"t ask him to let her go like before.
If she can stay with him willingly…
If he removes the shackles and she still chooses to stay with him, he will be happier.
In the afternoon, Aaron takes Beta to the pet shop to have him groomed.
The weather is getting hotter, and Beta"s hair is a little long. It needs a proper trim.
Aaron opens the door and calls out Beta"s name. Beta jumps up with ease and sits in the back seat when he turns around and sees Katrina looking at him with pity and full of expectation.
Katrina stays in the villa every day and is bored to death.
He promised her yesterday that he would take her out. She originally thought it was a relief, but he unexpectedly asked her to accompany him to a banquet and help him ward off other women.
She wore high heels and exquisite makeup. Her legs became weak and soft after walking around and greeting guests in the banquet. To top it off, she accidentally fell into the pool and almost drowned.
He didn"t take her out, and he took advantage of her.
Seeing Katrina"s pathetic eyes, Aaron"s eyebrows raise. In the end, he can"t remain indifferent. He says, "Get in the car."
Katrina"s pretty face immediately bursts into a beautiful smile.
Thanks to Beta, she finally can go out.
Katrina opens the door and jumps into the car without hesitation. She actively buckles her seatbelt and settles herself in the pa.s.senger seat.
Aaron sees her eagerness to go out. She"s delighted to leave the villa.
He licks his lips and looks at her. "Can you drive?"
