27 26. Jealousy and...Cheating?

On their way to go back, Adrian was exceptionally silent. Because of this attitude of him, it getting on her nerves. She cleared her throat,

" Uhm, Adrian? Are you alright?" She asked while glancing at the silent man.

" Stop the car," Adrian open his mouth. His tone void any emotions.

" Huh? Here?" Layla stunned, but drive her car to the roadside.

" What's up?"

" Strip,"

"...huh? What do you mean by strip?" Layla dumbfoundedly asked back.

" Do it yourself or later you no longer can strip. Chose!" Adrian's harsh tones left no way to compromise. Layla bites her bottom lip and embarrassedly strip off her cloth piece by piece. Her hand trembled under his sharp glare.

He saw it...Layla sighed. Her last piece shirt was opened, revealing her abundant chest covered with a sexy lacy bra. Adrian frowned. His hand caught her hand and his other hand went to push up the lacy bra, showing not only her bouncy bare breast but a purplish bruise underneath. Adrian's eyes darkened at the garish sight on her. The bruises covered on her right chest, stomach, shoulder, and several hidden places that he does not know yet.

Looking at the gloomy man, Layla awkwardly laughed, " This was nothing. A day or two will heal, its not a big deal."

" Drive," Again, another stony order. Unhappy with his lack of interest face, Layla grumpily steps on the pedal and rush to go back. Adrian made a call, giving some order before calling another number to his family side.

" Mom, I will go back first. I'll visit Evan tomorrow. No, mom. I'm fine. Someone else that was injured." When talking about that 'someone else', he hung up and fall into a silent again.

Layla starts feeling uncomfortable under this kind of treatment. Did he just give me a cold shoulder? Layla slightly pouted, bitterly sighed in her mind.

Suddenly, a loud call ringing. Layla startled and saw Dom's name flash through her phone screen. Adrian's eyes constricted as a dangerous aura emitted within his body. She answered, " Dom? What's up?"

" Where are you? The person you chased was Dragon Snake Gang, right? Are you alright?" Dom worried tones warmth Layla's heart. She smiled, feeling exceptionally contented.

" On my way back. Don't worry, Dom. How Evan? Is he good?" This time, she talked about Evan, easing some uncomfortable feeling from Adrian's heart. He felt some sourness from how intimate her tones with another man. Is she cheating right under his nose?

" Nothing to worry. He's fine and safe. The toxic inside his body system already been cleared away. The only thing he needed now was rest." Dom replied casually. Layla laughed.

" That's my man! You're the best!" Layla generously praises Dom without noticing that a certain man started brooding with a gloomy aura. His eyes glinted darkly.

" Tonight, we need to cancel our meeting. I had something to do after this. Let's gather after Fey gets back from overseas." Hearing this name, Layla's eyes brightened. He's back! Their ace trump card, Fey Light.

" Sure! I miss him so much. These two years, many things happen and he surely missed out something interesting." Layla laughed.

" Of course! That bastard keeps calling me, asking about our mates over this thing. I need to hang up now. Talk to you later," After that, the call ended. Layla chuckled. The ride continues until they reach Adrian's villa.

After she pulls the break up, a big, rough hand grabbed her back neck and later her face covered by the man's masculine breath. She stunned before groaning in pain as her lips were bitten by the man rough kisses.

" Uhmmm...Adrian-" She wanted to stop him, however, her hands were buckled behind her back by his other hand. Strained by the man's tight grip, Layla's mouth was fiercely invaded, her tongue being sucked hard, and her lips numbnesses destroy all her rationality and clarity. The sweet tang of blood mixed with their saliva made Layla lose her mind. Soon, her breath becomes thinner, and before she passes out, Adrian reluctantly withdrew his lips, giving her room to breath. He leaned his forehead on her own. Trying to control himself from taking her here in the car.

She coughs fiercely, catching her breath with wheezing sounds. She stared at the man with her misty, teary eyes. Adrian's eyes dangerously dilated, staring her with something she can't understand.

" Ad...Adrian...?" She called him out. Adrian leans forward again, capturing her lips with another round of rough kisses that she might say was mixed with possessiveness. The strong jealousy in his eyes didn't fade, instead deepened as he recalled her call earlier.

" Layla, don't forget your status as my wife. You may have the freedom to do whatever you want, but that not including for you to cheat behind my back." His tones devoid any emotions, filled with the endless coldness, sending a chill through her body. But, his words caught her attention.

Cheat?
