Belinda silently put her phone down. She had an uneasy sense of foreboding. What was Duke going to do?
Duke sped through the busy downtown streets. His anger had been building all night. Aaron came through for him and got Belinda's number, though too slow for his tastes. And then Belinda hung up on him! Not only that, but she turned her phone off afterward.
Then Duke visited her villa this morning, and forced her into his car. He didn't expect her to try and hit him. He dodged most of the hits, but he was still pissed because of her rude attitude.
"Duke, you are such a pervert! What are you doing here so early?" Belinda stopped trying to inflict physical pain, and tried to shame him with her angry glare.
"Belinda Shangguan, why did you hang up on me yesterday?" She tried to make herself as small as possible. She put up a brave front, but she was really afraid of his rage.
"Umm... I didn't recognize your voice?" Belinda defended herself. It would be foolish to say she was on a blind date arranged by her father. Belinda remembered Duke's threats about keeping her in bed for 3 days if she went out with other guys. She was not interested in more torture.
" Belinda, I don't believe you. I wasn't born yesterday. I waited forever for you at your company last night. And then you had the arrogance to hang up on me!" Duke glanced at her with a cold and creepy smile.
"I didn't ask you to wait for me." Belinda murmured, wondering what happened to Duke. What was he doing at her company?
"No, you didn't ask me to wait for you. But did you forget something?" Duke looked at the panicked woman.
"I don't think so. What did I forget?" Belinda kept shrinking and wriggling away as Duke came closer.
"You are going to be my wife." Duke smiled at her. There was no place to hide in the car. "I also told you to grow up, Duke. We had sex, that's it. You don't need to be responsible for me." Belinda felt powerless. He didn't seem to be listening to her.
"I didn't say I'm responsible for you. I'm asking you to be responsible for me." Duke was trying to twist her words and use them against her.
"What's the difference?" Belinda sneered at him.
"There is a big difference. Do you think the person who teased me first can walk away so easily?" Duke replied. He would keep it going until he achieved his goal, ignoring other people's opinions.
"Speaking of that, I haven't looked into it yet. But now I think you had something to do with me being drugged." Belinda studied his face carefully, and thought that he was acting very suspiciously.
"I don't need drugs if I want to get laid." Duke replied, ignoring her accusation.
"It's either you or your sister and you are
"It's either you or your sister and you are definitely involved in the set-up." Belinda probably should have been more careful. If she had, none of these would have happened. But why would Leena do that to her? She didn't even have the chance to lament the loss of her virginity. And Duke was already trying to force her into marriage. What a devil! "I sincerely apologize for Leena's mistake and I'm willing to pay the price for her actions." Duke was known for his coldness. It was rare to see him talking to a woman so patiently. "Umm... Mr Duke. I really don't blame you or your sister, and you don't need to take responsibility." Belinda smiled awkwardly, hoping that he would change his mind. "But I want to. You will soon be Mrs. Leng no matter what." Duke doubled down on his decision to marry Belinda. "Duke, do you love me?" Belinda tried to persuade him from a different angle. Duke was stunned. He was not sure about the answer. After being dumped, he was determined not to fall in love again. What he felt for Belinda now was not love.
See, Duke you couldn't answer the question yourself. I couldn't answer either. Therefore, there is no point for us to discuss marriage at this stage. Belinda didn't expect that she would feel a little sad when he gave in so easily.
But I am confident that you will fall in love with me, so let's go register for marriage tomorrow. Duke couldn't answer her question, but that didn't stop him from his obsession with marriage.
Are you out of your mind? Register for marriage? Hell no. Belinda found that it was a complete waste of time arguing with him. He wasn't listening, and she wasn't in love.
I didn't ask for your permission. I am just telling you my decision. Duke replied with an evil smile. Belinda felt a migraine coming on.
