Chapter 45: In Your Eyes, Am I So Incapable

“I swear I don’t know that Mr. Hudson, Ethan. Don’t let his words get to you. There’s nothing going on between us.”

It was as if Ethan was suddenly mute. Despite what she said, he didn’t glance at her or say a word as he drove them back to the Villa.

“Ethan, don’t tell me you’re angry. I didn’t know Cole would deny the accusation. I thought Dad would be able to take care of him.”

“Ethan, I know I didn’t tell you all that happened regarding the taxi incident. But it doesn’t matter, as Cole and the driver are now arrested. They can no longer do anything to me.”

“I know you care for my safety, Ethan. And I promise you I won’t get into any more trouble. Come on, Honey. You can’t stay mad at me for long.”

Ethan sped into the Villa and the car came to a screeching halt in the parking lot. The impact was too strong that Eve’s head almost hit the car’s window despite wearing her seatbelt.

“Ah! What is wrong with you, Ethan? Why can’t you be more careful?” Eve left the car, her body shaking.

“Ethan– Ah!”

Ethan strode to her side and picked her up.

“Argh! Put me down, Ethan.” He flung her over his shoulder and she beat his back. “You can’t listen to what other people say about me. Let go of me, now!”

Ethan stormed into the house and they bumped into Matt on the way.

“Big Bro, what did Sister-in-law do again? Did she cause more trouble? What happened at the police station?”

“Get out!” Ethan used one hand to push him aside and he landed on the floor.

“Argh! Big Bro, what did I do wrong? If you’re mad at Sister-in-law, you can take out your anger on her. This Young Master only wants to know what happened. I might help you punish her, you know.”

“If you don’t get out of here in the next second, you’ll lose your teeth.”

Matt covered his mouth and scurried up. “Big Bro, you’re chasing me out. Who forced this Young Master to come here in the first place? Fine, I’ll never come back here again!”

Matt smoothened his shirt, hurried to the parking lot, and jumped inside his car.

“You can’t let him go, Ethan.” Eve looked over his shoulder. “I still have errands for him.”

“Quiet.” Ethan spanked her and she screamed.

“Let me go! Put me down, Ethan! Ahhhhh! Elena, help!” Eve struggled and called out for help, but none of the servants were in sight.

“You haven’t even eaten, Ethan. Let me cook you another food. I swear I’ll make a delicious brunch.”

Ethan took her upstairs and locked the bedroom door.

“Ethan!” Eve covered herself. “L–Leave me alone. Remember what the doctor said. And if you make me unhappy, you know the consequences.”

Ethan removed his belt and rolled it around his palm.

“Ah! You can’t do this to me, Ethan.” Eve shrank into a corner. “Remember what happens to abusive husbands. If you beat me up, I swear I won’t hesitate to air it to the public.”

“Who said I’m going to beat you up?” Ethan tossed the belt aside and hurled her against him. “You really went to the coffee shop to just buy him coffee, huh? How many things are you hiding from me, Eve?”

“Th–That’s the only thing I hid. I didn’t know it would lead to this.” Eve pushed at his chest, struggling to free herself. “Fine, Mr. Hudson gave me a headstart and even helped me investigate. But that’s it. Nothing else is happening between us.”

“You also handed the case to your father to handle it. Tell me, Evelyn. In your eyes, am I so incapable?”

“No no no, you’re so capable, Ethan. Very capable. I– I made a mistake by not telling you. Dad is a bit mad at you, but that’s it. Don’t think anything into it, I promise next time–”

“There won’t be next time.” Ethan pressed her hard against him, she could barely breathe. “From now henceforth, you will no longer cause any trouble. I’ll make sure that never happens.”

Eve’s heart rate picked up. “W–What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to break your limbs apart. Let’s see how you’ll be able to leave this Villa then. Let’s see how you’re going to see that man that claims he likes you.”

“Ah! Don’t do that, Ethan. Mr. Hudson is out of his mind. I swear I don’t know him and I won’t concede. He looks like a pervert, and if he tries that again, I swear I’m going to break his head.”

“Why don’t I break yours first?” Ethan raised his hand in the air and she gasped.

“Young Master. Madam.” A knock came from the door followed by Elena’s voice. “Is everything alright? Are you okay, Madam?”

“Help! Elena! Ethan is going to kill me!” Eve screamed and Ethan covered her mouth.

“Young Master, please have mercy. If Madam did anything wrong, I implore you to forgive her. Madam is fragile, you can’t tamper with her body.”

“Yes, tell him, Elena!” Eve pushed his hand away and raised her voice hard. “If he tampers with my body and renders me useless, how is he going to get another woman like me? I’m strong and beautiful, only I can stand by his side.”

“Young Master.” Elena sounded worried.

“Just let me go, Ethan. Quit being stubborn—”

Eve didn’t get a chance to finish speaking, the rest of her words were muffled in his mouth. Her head was muddled as he kissed her hard, and the sound of ripping fabrics reached her ears.

“I don’t go back on my words, Evelyn! If I let you go now, you will repeat the same thing.” Ethan pushed her on the bed and towered over her.

“Ethan, please s–stop it. I swear I won’t repeat it.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Ethan– Ah!”
