The Heartthrob Guide: Dodder of S-Class Sentinels

Chapter 254 Kiss

Actually, she wouldn't have encountered this accident. She was terrified of his harassment, which is why she lingered at the company until late at night every day.

That day, she accompanied her boss to a business banquet. Because there was a proposal to report, her boss brought her along. Unexpectedly, the most important person invited to the banquet was Lin Nian.

This was their first meeting in more than six months. At the banquet, glasses clinked and the light from the crystal chandeliers shone on everyone's faces, reflecting smiles that were either polite or genuine.

She sat in the corner, feeling awkward and at a loss.

They didn't exchange a single word until the banquet ended. They thought the matter would pass peacefully, but her boss, who was known for his strictness, whether from drinking too much or from finally being unable to contain his long-held feelings, cornered her in the shadows of the corridor when the banquet ended.

Fueled by alcohol, the man's usually sharp eyes now held a deliberate gentleness. He braced one hand against the wall, encircling her in the narrow space between his arm and the wall, while his other hand carefully grasped her palm. The rough touch of his fingertips made her stiffen.

"Lin Nan." His voice was hoarse from the alcohol, yet he deliberately softened it, his mind hazy as he confessed, "I know it's a bit abrupt... but I've been watching you for a long time. You probably don't have a boyfriend yet, right? I'm single too. What do you think of me? If... if it were possible, could I pursue you?"

She was truly stunned. It was the first time in her life she had been confessed to so directly, and from her usually strict and rigid boss no less. Her mind went blank, leaving only a buzzing sound, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

The words of refusal stuck in his throat, but due to nervousness and shock, he couldn't utter a single word.

Perhaps because she didn't have time to react, those few seconds of silence were perceived by the man as a misinterpretation of her consent. The man, without a second thought, grabbed her waist and leaned closer—

She didn't even know what happened next. Someone angrily grabbed her arm and pulled her away. There was already a car waiting outside the hotel. Without her consent, he roughly threw her into the car, closed the door, and drove away.

The atmosphere in the carriage was inexplicably heavy. She sat blankly to one side, not daring to utter a word.

The car drove for an unknown amount of time before finally stopping at a quiet park, where the driver got out.

Then—a deluge of kisses, forceful and domineering…

Lin Nian's face was terribly gloomy, and the anger around him was almost tangible. He didn't say anything, but just kneaded her with an almost furious force.

Her lips were forcefully kissed, and she tried to escape, but he pulled her back by biting her. A faint smell of alcohol lingered around their noses; it was once a comforting scent, but now it felt like a cage, robbing her of all the air around her.

She was kissed until her whole body went limp, and she gradually lost the strength to resist. But the man was not satisfied with just taking her lips. His skillful and powerful tongue pried open her teeth and went even deeper.

It's chaos, it's all chaos.

He had been so restrained; all his years of caution and forbearance crumbled the moment he saw her being held in another man's arms.

why?
He and she are not related by blood. He just watched her grow up. Why can't he love her like a man?
To hell with his uncle, his family... If all his forbearance will ultimately come at the cost of "losing her," then let's just destroy ourselves together...

He tightened his arms, trapping the girl's slender body in his embrace.

Those suppressed desires and pent-up blood finally found an outlet at this moment.

He felt as if he had tasted the most delicious food in the world. His fragile clothes were torn, and he buried his face in her softness, indulging in it, until—a soft sob was heard…

The man paused, released the girl, and looked up at her.

Freed, she hurriedly gathered her clothes, looking at him with fear and wariness like a wounded little animal.

He froze for a moment, then tried to hug her again, but the girl took a step back and pushed him away.

A silent silence spread between them. The man moved his lips, as if to call out to her, but no sound came out.

"Go home and get a good night's sleep tonight. Let's both calm down, and I'll come pick you up tomorrow." "Don't be afraid of me, and don't reject me. I know you don't actually dislike me."

"I'll talk to my sister; they'll find out sooner or later anyway."

"But—Nannan, don't hide from me, don't—abandon me..."

She had forgotten what the man said next, only that night, the man's eyes were unusually obsessive and fiery, and she was burned by this emotion, panicked and not knowing where to escape to...

……

What followed was completely out of control; once that person gave a signal, he began to infiltrate her life in every way.

He would pick her up from get off work every day without fail, showering her with flowers, jewelry, and bags. He even bribed everyone in her office to keep track of her whereabouts.

Everyone envied her, envied that she was cherished by such a dazzling man, envied that she had a fairytale-like love story, but no one knew that she was already so afraid of what to do because of this almost obsessive desire for control.

She tried to escape back to her hometown, and he followed her. Lin Nan remembers that the sun was very strong that day, shining in the courtyard, but it couldn't dispel the heaviness in the air.

That person stood there the whole time, like a stubborn tree, refusing to budge an inch no matter how much his mother's anger poured down on him.

She had no choice but to go back with him. As soon as they entered, a barrage of kisses rained down on her. He knelt on the floor, pleading with her, his eyes burning with a possessive intensity: "I'm sorry, I've waited so many years, Nan Nan. I'm afraid that if I relax, you'll retreat back to where you were before." His fingertips caressed her most sensitive nerves, his tone forceful and unyielding, "Just accept me, okay? Even if you don't like me now, it's okay, I can wait patiently, but—in the end, you can only be mine..."

At that time, she thought to herself, what a hypocrite this person is. He said he loved her and respected her, but he secretly hid all her documents. He moved back in, and the two of them stayed in their own territories, just like before. But some things, once broken, can never be repaired.

She began to resist going back more and more, lingering at the company until very late every day, keeping herself busy like a spinning top, until that one night—

To avoid him, she has been sleeping at the company for two consecutive nights under the pretext of work. He has called her countless times, but she has not answered.

"Answer the phone, baby."

"I made your favorite dish. Come home early today."

"I'm right downstairs at your office building right now, but my colleagues said you've already left?"

“Baby, where did you go? You can’t stay in a hotel now, don’t scare me…”

"Let's have a proper talk—"

"If you don't reply to my messages, I'm going to go crazy, baby... at least tell me where you are..."

"I'm sorry, I'll never pressure you again... Please come back..."

"..."

She was crossing the street when she saw a series of messages on her phone and stopped in her tracks.

But it was precisely during that moment of hesitation that a screeching sound of brakes suddenly came from not far away.

An out-of-control truck, like a wild beast, broke through the red light and rushed straight toward the zebra crossing.

The blinding headlights illuminated her horrified face. The surrounding screams, the acrid smell of tires screeching against the pavement, the suffocating feeling of her heart suddenly stopping—all intertwined in that instant, creating a web of despair.
