Chapter 9: Conditioning the Kittens
Tears flowing uncontrollably, Mia had given up completely the moment she raised her hand. Facing Asher’s furious eyes, she stubbornly locked eyes with him without flinching in the slightest.
She shouldn’t have gotten her hopes up for this cold-blooded man, if she hadn’t trusted the man in front of her too much, she was only afraid that Xiao Qing wouldn’t have died.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
It all started because of him, all because of this heartless man!
She hated this man.
She’d never hated someone so much!
“I really want to know what human life dares to be in your eyes, Xiao Qing is only eight years old!” Hoarse, she still did her best, as if in this way, she could also lessen the shock and hurt that Xiao Qing’s death brought her.
“You’re so cold-blooded, if you’d given the orphanage the money right away, Xiao Qing wouldn’t have died! It’s all because of you! It’s all because of you!” Mia shook her head and slowly stepped back, “No, you’ll never know because you’re a cold-blooded person, and a cold-blooded person like you won’t have any compassion because you don’t even have a heart.”
Asher had looked coldly into her wildly hurt eyes, a complex of emotions flashing underneath them.
Mia lifted her face, her red eyes tinged with grief, “Asher, you succeeded, didn’t you do all this to make me hate you? Then I have to say, you succeeded, you completely succeeded, I’ve never hated someone so much as I do at this moment, I’m telling you Asher, I hate you, I hate you!”
A miserable smile that is tragic to behold.
Asher’s gaze grew somber and his eyes became deep, like the deep, dark pool, his knuckles snapping with his grip, “Take back that last statement you made!”
“No! I don’t want it!” Mia looked at him with painful and hateful teary eyes, “I hate you, I hate you Asher, you killed Haru and I won’t forgive you!”
Asher smiled back in anger, that monstrous smile sent a shiver through Mia’s body, having spent a few days with Asher she certainly knew what that look in Asher’s eyes meant.
Mia shook her head incredulously and hurriedly backed up, losing her weight from the rush and landing heavily on the ground with her whole body.
“Don’t touch me!” Mia fought the urge to scream as she looked at Asher who was attached to look at her.
Asher didn’t care, just grimaced and took her directly across his arms, letting her squirm and struggle, but Asher remained unmoved.
“Who are you to refuse? Don’t forget your status as a pet, it seems I’ve been lenient with you the past two days and not properly conditioned you to behave in the bold manner you are today.” Asher took off his slender legs and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor, “It’s time for some conditioning too.”
Upon entering the room, Asher tossed the woman in his arms unceremoniously onto the wide bed and confined her to his arms despite Mia’s struggles.
“No … no!” Mia stomped her legs in a deadly struggle, not realizing that her actions like this only stirred up the man’s raging and churning fire even more.
An unhappy scowl slid across his dark eyes, and Asher pursed his lips as his large palm gripped her bodice, suddenly hard, and a sound of ripping clothing rang through the room, irritating Mia’s eardrums.
“No!” Mia continued to struggle desperately, trying to escape what she was about to face.
“Remember, you’re just my pet and have no business denying me anything! You’re just a pet that’s not even a mistress!”
Mia’s whole body stiffened, her face bristling with such humiliating words, wet salty tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Now she was like a lamb all the way to the slaughter, but Mia still wouldn’t give up and couldn’t stop shaking her head, “Don’t … Asher … you can’t do this …”
How could he do this to her!
The man lifted his face that swirled with an evil smile, but the eyes that looked into her face were filled with a gut-wrenching coldness, a coldness that was felt from the bones.
“Of course I can do that, don’t forget who you are at this point, and you …” The bottom of his black ground eyes were tinged with a hint of viciousness, and the large palm that was holding on to that softness suddenly hooped up harder, causing the woman beneath him to scream in pain.
“Seems to have forgotten the duties of a pet as well, to dare to strike at me and even question me, who gave you the right to do that! I don’t remember ever giving you such a right!” The grim voice sent a shiver down the body of Mia who was screaming.
“You must understand that you are only a pet of mine and can only carry out everything I do without question, there is no room for you to ask questions about anything or anyone.” The voice was cold, but laced with a distinct hint of lust.
Mia flinched, her face looking paler, the blood fading from her face bit by bit.
Seeing her pale face, Asher’s face became even more gloomy as he reached out and lifted her chin, that icy stare making Mia’s face even whiter.
Asher seized her small chin with a large, slender hand, his tone icy, “What, do you not recognize who you are now?”
Mia gritted her teeth, tears of humiliation welling up in her eyes.
Seeing her silent face, Asher then released her chin.
“Remember, you’re just my plaything, don’t forget who you are no matter what comes your way.” Asher’s voice, cold with a hint of seduction.
Mia’s pale little face bristled even whiter, and her resisting little hands slid down the sheets.
The relationship that had been so easily eased had hit rock bottom again.
Early the next morning.
Mia got up from the bed, her eyes gazing at the Asher who was on his way out the door, she asked, still undeterred, “Why? Why did you do that?”
It seemed that she was just looking for a reason to hate him more.
“Last night’s lesson tells you not to question my decisions.” Asher dropped the words without a backward glance, and then marched off.
Mia dropped onto the bed and huddled herself tightly into a ball, tears running freely down her face.
The butler, who was already waiting outside the door, respectfully handed Asher the briefcase, “Young master, why didn’t you tell Miss Luo the truth?”
Since Miss Luo insisted on wanting the answer, the young master just gave it to her, and she would be the one suffering when the time came anyway.
Asher’s advancing steps suddenly stopped, and his side-eyed, icy eyes looked at the butler, and his low voice, which seemed to come from the depths of hell, said, “Since when is it your turn to meddle in my affairs?”
