Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 94: Spare him?

Chapter 94: Spare him?

William had long heard of Eric, the business prodigy known for his cunning and ruthless tactics. Over the years, none of his opponents had met a good end, and William had always been wary of him, careful not to cross him.

But to his horror, the woman he had set his sights on turned out to be Eric’s woman! And she was only eighteen!

"Mr. Nelson! I was blind, it’s my fault... Please, Mr. Nelson, spare my life!"

William kowtowed heavily, the dull thud of his head against the floor echoing in the room. After just a few knocks, his forehead was already bruised.

Clearly, William was willing to use any means necessary to save his life.

"Babe, how do you think we should deal with him?" Eric’s smile was even more sinister as he gently stroked Ella’s hair, asking her casually.

Ella frowned, looking at the kneeling William with disgust. Last night, he had been so arrogant, and she had nearly been defiled by this bastard.

However, she wasn’t sure how to punish him. Eric would certainly have more experience in this area.

"I’ll leave him to you. I don’t want to get involved," Ella said, lowering her lashes, still shaken by the previous night’s events.

If Eric hadn’t been on the ship, she would have been utterly ruined! Hannah and Avery would have spread her scandal far and wide, relishing in her disgrace.

"Since you’ve left him to me, I’ll handle it. Given that the Walker family is our business partner, I’ll let this slide for now," Eric said coldly. Ella was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

He was letting William go? That scoundrel nearly ruined her purity!

Was she less important to him than his business interests?

At this thought, Ella’s once sweet heart turned cold as ice.

William, overjoyed, exclaimed, "Thank you, Mr. Nelson! I promise I won’t cause any more trouble for you!"

With that, William slunk away like a beaten dog. Eric’s men calmly closed the door, leaving Ella sitting in silence, her lashes casting shadows on her small face.

She pressed her lips tightly together, feeling a deep sense of hurt. Was she really less significant to him than the interests of Nelson Group and Walker Group?

Seeing Ella’s tense expression, Eric chuckled and poured a cup of warm water. "Drink some water. Although the drug’s effects have worn off, you still need to hydrate to help your body recover."

Ella turned her head away, unable to suppress her disappointment and anger. "No need, Mr. Nelson. I don’t need your kindness!"

Eric grabbed her as she stood, pulling her into a tight embrace, his hot breath against her earlobe making her shiver.

"Fool, if we’re going to settle scores, we can’t do it here. Even if I want to cut off his hand, this isn’t the place. Understand?"

Ella blinked, looking into his amused eyes, and suddenly understood.

"You mean... we can’t make a scene here. Too many eyes watching."

"Exactly. If I crippled him here, it would harm the reputation of Nelson Group. So, if I’m going to punish him, I’ll pick the right time and place."

Eric kissed her cheek gently. "Little one, are you happy now?"

Ella pouted, "I thought you didn’t care about me anymore."

"Of course I do. I’d love to tear his flesh and break his bones," Eric said with a cold smile, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

To dare to violate his woman was an unforgivable offense.

Ella drank half a cup of the warm water, gazing at the rising morning sun outside. She was relieved it was Saturday; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the heart to go to class.

Eric watched her rosy face, his Adam’s apple bobbing as desire reignited within him. He seemed insatiable, possibly because he hadn’t found a woman to his liking for years and had restrained himself too long.

Meeting this girl made him want to...release all that pent-up desire?

His breathing grew heavy as his lips found Ella’s. She whimpered softly, pinned down on the sofa.

His large hands parted her legs, causing Ella to quickly grab his hand in fear. "No..."

Eric’s eyes were filled with luxurious desire as he looked at her delicate hand gripping his. He smirked mischievously, "What’s wrong? Is it still... hurting? You don’t want to?"

Ella blushed and nodded silently.

"Alright, I’ll let you off for today. We’ll continue tomorrow!"

What?

Ella’s face turned red as she shook her head vigorously. "No... it will still hurt tomorrow!"

"I’ll be gentle. It won’t."

Eric’s laughter was filled with lazy longing, his fiery eyes reflecting Ella’s flustered face.

Her face glowed like a charming sunset, causing Eric to hold her head steady and kiss her gently again.

"Baby, thank you for not making me hold back anymore."

His husky laughter was full of teasing, making Ella’s body tremble. She quickly clung to his head, "No... no more kissing. I can’t take it!"

She gasped, her eyes filled with confusion and enchantment.

His kiss was truly intoxicating, making her lose herself and forget everything.

"We’ve already had sex, and you don’t let me kiss you... This is even more mean than before, okay?" Eric chuckled, finally releasing her and not pressing her further.

Ella’s cheeks were flushed with a tender blush, "I... I’m afraid you’ll touch me again!"

Suddenly remembering something, she panicked like a frightened rabbit, "Oh no! I forgot to take my pill!"

She was only eighteen, and although it was legal to marry in Country S, she wasn’t ready to have a child so soon.

Eric’s expression darkened slightly, "You don’t want to have my child?"

Ella froze, giving him a reproachful look, "We’re not even married. How can you talk about having children? I’m still in high school! Even though I’ll be going to college next year, but..."

But she was so young. If she had a child now, she feared she’d lose her freedom and become a full-time mother.

Eric pinched her blushing cheek, "It’s just marriage. Take Monday off, and we’ll go register."

Ella was stunned. She thought he’d lose interest in marrying her after sleeping with her.

"If we get married, we’ll have security. No one can easily take you away, and I won’t be tempted by others. I promise to be faithful to our marriage. How does that sound?"

Eric’s eyes were filled with intense desire, leaving Ella momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.
