Most plots of my novel talk about mystery, suspense, and a slice of life. Often FL starts a slow pace of development, from weak to strong.

Chapter 47: Love Confession

Even though Aaron doesn't know how to speak sweet words and lacks the ability to express himself, he offers what he has to make Katrina his woman. To him, it's showing his love to her.

But it sounds quite different to Katrina.

His offer seems like it's all for his selfish desires so that he can make unreasonable demands towards her. He just wants to have her become his mistress in order to satisfy his own desires.

How can she promise him such a ridiculous request?

The room suddenly becomes very quiet.

Aaron's dark eyes narrow as he stares at Katrina with knotted eyebrows. His handsome face looks expressionless, gloomy, and dangerous.

He wishes he could tame her directly so she couldn't refuse him again.

Katrina's eyes are slightly red. She bravely stares Aaron down, stubborn and unyielding.

But gradually, Katrina's bravado weakens a little.

Aaron is an aloof and arrogant man. If she refuses him...

Would he get even with her? Would bully her more excessively? Would she have to fight back with all her strength?

If she annoys him enough, she would be the only one who would suffer.

While Katrina gradually feels oppressed by Aaron's demeanor and begins to feel uneasy and diffident, Aaron suddenly speaks and breaks the silence.

"I won't touch you for the next two days. I hope you can think it over and become mine." His voice is low and alluring, and his face isn't as terrible as it was just now.

Katrina glares at him angrily.

She doesn't need time to reconsider his request! Whether it be two days or two years, she will never agree!

If he coerces her, she won't compromise in her mind even if she has no choice but to give in physically.

Without giving Katrina time to rebut, Aaron adds, "It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. At present, you have no choice but to stay with me."

Just as Katrina thinks that he will respect her opinion and let her go, Aaron dashes all her hopes in an instant.

Katrina is instantly distraught, frantic, and depressed.

He won't let her go, whether she wants to be his woman or not, whether she wants to stay with him or not?

This arrogant bastard!

In that case, what's the point for giving her time to reconsider?

He's already sentenced her to life imprisonment.

She originally had an idea in mind, hoping that he would be kind enough to let her go. But now, her only hope is shattered.

According to Aaron's character, no one can change his decision easily once he's decided it. That means that he will never let her go.

At the realization, Katrina feels sad and dreary. Her already red eyes filled with even more tears, like a pear blossom bathing in the rain, showing everyone the pain in her heart.

Seeing Katrina's reaction makes Aaron feel as if something is piercing his heart. The feeling nearly suffocates him.

Bending over, he lifts Katrina's chin and looks directly into her eyes. "Katrina, do you hate me that much?"

Does his love for her disgust her so much?

Does she intensely despise the thought of staying with him?

Forced to look at Aaron, Katrina says through gritted teeth, "Yes, Aaron, I really hate you!"

She hates how he caught her indiscriminately! She hates how he keeps her in captivity! Most of all, she hates how he doesn't respect her at all and keeps making advances on her without her consent!

Given all this, how could she not hate him with a passion? She despises him so much!

Hearing that, a glimmer of pain appears in Aaron's eyes. He regards her as the woman he values above the rest, someone to love and spoil. But she's filled with hatred for him?

This little white-eyed wolf! He's given her everything, only to be repaid with ingratitude.

In the end, Aaron manages to hold back his overwhelming anger and decides not to make love with her until she becomes receptive.

Taking a deep breath, Aaron says firmly, "It doesn't matter if you hate me. I love you, that's enough."

Whether she likes him or not doesn't matter, he will never let her go. She would still have to be with him. Since she hates him so much, he has to make her learn to like him back.

I love you, that's enough…

I love you…

Love…

Katrina is dumbfounded. The words repeat in her mind over and over again.

Does he love her?

Is his definition of love, similar to what she understands it to be? Or is it all her imagination? Maybe she's just thinking too much.

If a man wants you to be his woman, does that mean he likes you, or he simply wants you? If it's the former, it may be regarded as a pursuit. But if it's the latter, it's simply a benefit-based relationship.

Keeping someone as the property is quite different. It just means you're being kept as a plaything for one's own amusement.

While Katrina is in a trance, Aaron bends over and kisses her plump lips, savoring the taste of her mouth, and His kiss is simultaneously gentle and unrestrained.

Katrina startles and hurriedly pushes Aaron away. He easily grabs her hands and keeps her in his arms, forcefully.

Her soft body is pressed against his firm chest tightly. His strong scent overwhelms her. It's overbearing and distinct, belonging only to him.

As the air thins little by little, Katrina's cheeks turn red, and she nearly suffocates. He beats his shoulders with her fists.

After having enough of kissing her, Aaron loosens his hold on her.

Katrina nearly has no strength left in her body. She gasps with her mouth wide open.

Aaron puts his hand on Katrina's chest. "Your heart is beating fast. When I kiss you, you're not completely indifferent."

What does a fast heartbeat suggest? It doesn't necessarily mean that she also loves him! Even if he were someone else, she would react the same way...

Wait a minute!

Katrina is stunned to feel the hand on her chest. When she looks down and sees that he's groping her, she instantly breaks down.

This abominable rascal!

He's touching her chest!

Katrina's face turns red in an instant. She angrily shakes off his hand. "Aaron, you shameless bastard!"

Initially, Aaron just wanted her to feel her heartbeat and talk to her, but touching her feels unexpectedly good. He couldn't help exploring it for a while.

At Katrina's cute angry reaction, Aaron smiles. "You should learn to get used to it."

After all, more shameless things are waiting for her in the future.
