In an instant, a chill shot through Mika Sumrs’s entire body.
She looked at Tristan Grayson in disbelief, but his next words felt like they instantly tore her heart to shreds.
"You’re the reason she was forced to go abroad! You’re the reason she almost died! You deserve to be punished, and this is my punishnt for you!"
The mont he finished speaking, Tristan Grayson lowered his head and bit down hard on her neck. A piercing pain made her cry out, "Ah! It hurts..." Her hands dug into his shoulders.
Tristan Grayson didn’t stop until he drew blood from her neck. He looked up at her, at her face contorted in an ugly grimace of pain, and a flicker of pity crossed his mind. But then he rembered how she had just used Maggie Monroe to threaten him, and his anger beca impossible to suppress.
’He didn’t know why hearing Maggie Monroe’s na from her lips made him so angry, but he just didn’t want her to ever ntion Maggie again.’
Mika Sumrs saw him stop and stare intently at her with an expression she couldn’t decipher. Fear, sorrow, and a sense of being wronged all welled up at once.
Touching the wound on her neck, she tearfully struggled out from under him. She got out of bed, snatched up her clothes, and fished out her phone. ’I have to call my brother,’ she thought. ’I have to tell him I can’t stay here any longer. Not for one more second.’
But when she turned on her phone and saw the nurous missed calls, she froze. Thirteen missed calls from her brother and five from her parents.
She let out a wail and cried even harder. ’Look at now, so degraded just for loving soone. How can I possibly face my parents and my brother?’
’When the ti is up, I’m leaving Tristan Grayson. I’ll leave him for good and never have anything to do with him ever again.’
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She saw the caller ID on the screen, wrapped her arms around herself, and sank to the floor, burying her head in her knees and sobbing uncontrollably.
’In this state, how could I possibly answer my brother’s call?’
The ringing phone and the woman’s sobs grated on Tristan Grayson, pushing his irritation to the breaking point.
He shot up from the bed and walked over to her.
He glanced down at the phone she was clutching, his brow furrowing slightly before he reached out and snatched it from her grasp.
In the middle of her intense sobs, her phone was ripped away. Her eyes red with tears, she glared at Tristan Grayson and scread, "What do you think you’re doing?!"
Tristan Grayson ignored her, simply turning to answer the call as he walked back to the bed.
The call connected. Before Tristan Grayson could speak, a frantic voice ca through the line.
"Mika, you finally answered! Where are you? Are you safe?"
Hearing this, Tristan Grayson looked down and let out a cold, mocking laugh. "She’s perfectly safe. No need for Mr. Sumrs to concern himself."
"Who is this? Why isn’t Mika answering? Where is she?" Archie Sumrs’s voice imdiately grew wary upon hearing a man’s voice.
"Hah..." Tristan Grayson let out another cold laugh. After a long pause, his voice grew heavy as he spoke slowly, "You have a rather poor mory, Mr. Sumrs. It was just this afternoon that you had your n tailing Miss Sumrs and , and now you’ve already forgotten ? Or perhaps you had your n tailing the wrong people?"
Archie Sumrs was sharp. He had already guessed who was on the line the mont Tristan Grayson spoke. What he hadn’t expected was that Tristan would have figured out it was he who had them followed.
"Tristan Grayson, I don’t care if you genuinely like our Mika or if you’re just using her for business. Now that I’m back, you will stay out of her life from this day forward."
