Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 116 The Choice

"Belinda, do you still think you have a choice? From the moment you crossed my path, you lost your

say in this matter. So I'm telling you now. You, Belinda Shangguan, are going to be my lawful wedded NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

wife as soon as possible."

Duke told Belinda his decision, forcefully putting his wine glass onto the tea table. He then stood up

and coldly exited the luxurious presidential suite.

Belinda was shocked, and could only watch him leave. Her heart was bitter, her eyes clouded with

sparkling tears. She couldn't tell whether it was from his merciless exit, or his vow.

She took a deep breath, confused about her own feelings. But she couldn't marry someone just

because of a one night stand.

Belinda stood up and wiped her forehead, then gave up the idea of standing and threw herself onto the

large soft bed. She abruptly got up when she saw the specks of scarlet.

Damn! What was that asshole Duke so angry about? It was her who lost her virginity. How come he

acted as if he lost something? Becoming his wife? She never agreed to this! She'd never met a man

more unreasonable than Duke.

"You want to stay?" His cold voice suddenly rang across the room. Belinda dropped down onto the bed

again, staring in a panic at the icy figure at the door.

"You... I thought you left." Belinda said apprehensively. How come he always showed up like a ghost?

"I'm not as terrible as you think." When Duke walked out of the suite earlier, he thought that she was

going to follow him. He waited quite a while before coming back in.

"But just now you were so angry and stormed out!" Belinda complained, wondering how the man could

be so unyielding. She still felt wary of him, despite their lovemaking.

"Who knew you'd be too stupid to follow me?" Duke said nonchalantly and side-eyed her, trying to hide

his brief smile. She had him figured out. He was angry when he stormed out. But he still cared enough

to come check on her.

"Do you think I'm insane? You were so pissed, and you want me to follow you and get yelled at again?"

Belinda didn't forget Duke's fury from earlier.

"Belinda Shangguan, you knew I was angry and you kept stoking that fire. Yet you somehow came out

unscathed. Congratulations. You are the first person who made it. Seems like I underestimated your

influence on me."

Duke would never allow someone to anger him over and over again. Belinda was the only woman

fearless enough to anger him every so often, let alone slap him once.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm going home." Belinda avoided his gaze. She didn't know

how to explain to her family why she stayed out all night.

"Let's go! I'll take you home. But remember, I don't want you to date anyone, or I'll make sure you won't

leave the bed for 3 days. Don't doubt me on this. I mean it."

Duke's slender fingers clutched her jaw, forcing Belinda to look into his eyes. There wasn't even a hint

of warmth on his stone cold face when he made the threat.

"Duke Leng, why should I listen to you? Who are you to me?" Belinda's explosive temper was triggered

as well. She struggled out of his grasp, 'Who does this guy think he is? It was just a one night stand.

Who gave him the right to lord it over me like this?'

"I'm no one to you, Belinda? Huh? Do you want me to remind you what happened between the two of

us?" His handsome face suddenly came close, his lips angrily reached Belinda's. Far from a gentle

kiss, it was almost like a bite.

"Hmm... Hurts...." Belinda fought back hard. Her beautiful eyes were filled with indignation. As soon as

the tip of Duke's tongue reached in, she gave him an angry bite.

"Haha! What an interesting little pussycat you are! Fighting back at every turn." Duke let go of her face

and chuckled. He looked very pleased.

"Pervert." Belinda gently touched her hurt lips and glared at him wrathfully. Her pretty face turned fiery,

covered with a pink hue.

Duke uttered a sinister laugh. He grabbed her hand and began to walk out, as if nothing had happened.

"Duke, let go of me." Belinda tried very hard to wrest herself from his grasp. She didn't want others to

see her coming out of a hotel with a man in the morning. Her reputation!

"Stop. Just stop. Otherwise I'll carry you on my back." Duke said without turning back. He didn't mind at

all the burning pain of her nails piercing through his skin. His hand was still locked on hers.

Belinda stopped fighting and turned into a docile kitten, her head down, not looking anywhere but the

ground.

Duke let out a gentle chuckle which dissipated within a second. His tough face turned gentle. Even a

wild cat was afraid of something. His future life wouldn't be boring then, since this woman was full of

surprises.

Belinda once again felt a rush of desire. She glanced at Duke, who was even hotter from the side view.

He was a handsome man, able to drive all the girls crazy. But then his coldness drove everyone away

immediately.
