Chapter 766
In fact Elliot owned the hotel. The moment Anastasia entered the room, the man who had promised to listen to her
trapped her against the door with his blazing gaze upon her.
“Sorry, sweetheart, but I‘m not going to let you go tonight,” he apologized before pressing his lips against hers
aggressively.
She was the only person who knew how he would behave after forsaking his sophisticated and cold image, which
was shown to the public; beneath that facade lay a beast.
Still, it was early to determine who was the one in control tonight as Anastasia was the siren waiting for her
husband to take the bait.
Otherwise, she would not have let her hair down in the elevator and made eyes at him while being all touchy by
linking arms with him or leaning on him. The coy act was to display her charms to appeal to Elliot, who was the only
one who could enjoy that treatment.
One of her little entertainments after tying the knot was to see her husband being assertive; that was why he could

However, he was oblivious of his wife‘s little ploy.
After the long and deep night came the morning.
The sunlight streamed upon a girl‘s beautiful face in the other room and woke her up. The first thing Sophia did
after opening her eyes was to look at the man next to her.
Little did she know that he had been watching her the whole time with a smile while propping himself sideways with
his arms supporting his head.
“Naughty girl.” The endearment escaped his sexy lips.
Embarrassed, she covered her face with the blanket. “No, I‘m not.”
“Well, you‘re right considering how many times you said ‘stop‘ last night.” Arthur pulled her leg when he could.
Her face turned crimson as she dared not recall what had happened last night. Everything felt so real since she was
now sober, but she would never regret it.
It was then that his arm wrapped around her body gently and he whispered sweet nothings into her ear, “I‘ll take
responsibility for you for the rest of your life.”
She turned her head to meet at his determined gaze before smiling. “You don‘t have to be responsible for what
happened last night.”
Arthur was baffled for a moment before staring at her nervously. “Sophia, what do you mean by that? Was last
night merely a game to you?”
She blinked her beady eyes. “Can we not think about the future just yet? Let‘s focus on the present and cherish it.
I‘m satisfied as long as you‘re by my side.”
It was because she dared not think of the future, which scared her.
However, he was disheartened as he felt himself being played with; Sophia‘s cool manner had hurt him.
“I‘m going to the bathroom for a while,” she said before getting out of bed.
He removed the blanket to get out of the bed too, but his eyes were fixated onto the red stain on the bed. It
tightened his heart and the strong resolution to take care of her surged in him.
Regardless of her attitude, he had made up his mind to be her only toy in her lifetime.
Feeling the water flowing from her head to toe, she was not sure if the droplets on her face were tears or water.

A startled Arthur came over and cupped her cheeks to take a closer look at her eyes. She then hastily lowered her
head to dodge his gaze as she was afraid that he could see through her frail heart.
“What‘s wrong with your eyes? They‘re red.”
“The water must‘ve gotten into my eyes. It kinda burns.” Sophia simply glossed it over by making up an excuse
while blinking her eyes profusely.
“Let‘s go to the hospital,” he suggested.
“No.” She shook her head. “I’ll buy an eye drop later. It should be fine.”
He cupped her face again to check on her eyes as his heart ached. “Stay here. I‘ll buy one for you right now.”
Having said that, he immediately changed his clothes and left. She did not stop him because her mind was in a
mess as well. She figured that she might as well take the time to calm herself down.
