Andrea suddenly realized how close Roderick was, close enough
to see each of his eyelashes, and close enough to see her own
panicky reflection in his eyes.
“I don’t know him well, just met him once,” she said.
Roderick tightened his grip abruptly. “Liar!”
Andrea moaned in pain.
“I saw the way he looked at you. It was not the first time you
met.”
Roderick pulled her towards the room, the sound of her heels
echoing in the empty villa.
Andrea was thrown onto a low cabinet.
Her back hit the hardwood, the sharp pain making her almost
cry.
“Roderick Hodgson!” She panicked, her fingers holding tight to
her skirt.
Roderick was never so rough with her.

“What did you call me?”
He slowly unbuttoned his cufflinks, his tie loosened, his throat
rolling up and down in his open collar.
Andrea turned her head, refusing to look at him.
“Seems I’ve spoiled you too much.”
Roderick undid his belt buckle with one hand. The sound made
Andrea shiver, and she heard him say, “Now you dare to flirt
with other men.”
Andrea’s face paled, and she tried to step back, but her back was
already against the wall.
“I didn’t.”
She shook her head and tried to explain, but as soon as she
moved, a hand grabbed her chin.
Her mouth just opened, and it was covered by warm lips.
This kiss was punitive, with no tenderness at all.
Roderick’s teeth hit her lower lip, and the taste of blood spread
in her mouth.
Andrea tried to push against his chest, but she felt his tight

muscles under his shirt and his racing heart.
Roderick’s hand moved downward.
Andrea felt the familiar touch on her belly, and she bit
Roderick’s lip in panic.
“Ouch!”
Roderick stepped back in pain.
He wiped his lips. Seeing the blood, his eyes darkened.
“I’m on my period.” Andrea’s voice was cold. She didn’t lie this
time.
Roderick paused, then sneered, “You used this excuse last time.
You think I’ll believe it again?”
His hand continued to move, but he froze when he touched the
edge of the pad.
The air seemed to be frozen. Andrea saw the anger in Roderick’s
eyes turn into more complex emotions.
“So, you lied to me last time?” His voice became extremely light,
but it was more shocking to Andrea than his yelling.
“Well…” She opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

Roderick took a step back, straightening his messy shirt.
This move made him look composed as usual, but the coldness
in his eyes made Andrea scared.
“It’s good.”
Roderick curled his lips into a smile, but his eyes were still cold.
“Andie, you’re getting more and more disobedient.””
He leaned in again to Andrea. “Naughty girls need to be
punished.”
Andrea could only submit.
She thought Roderick would ignore her period. Tears of
aggrievance and helplessness flowed down her face.
Roderick felt it and looked up at Andrea. Seeing her pitiful look,
he suddenly felt annoyed.
“Roderick, please let me go,” Andrea begged pitifully.
She knew Roderick would only accept her begging.
If she kept resisting, he would force her even more fiercely.
Roderick kicked the door abruptly, grabbed his jacket, and left.

Hearing the door slam shut, Andrea’s tense body gradually
relaxed.
She noticed Roderick seemed to be getting crazier.
After calming down, Andrea went into the bathroom to wash
away the traces Roderick left on her body.
The black Maybach sped through the night and finally stopped
in front of a private club.
In the private room, Roderick’s friends had already drunk a lot.
