Claimed by My First Love's Brother (by Evergreen) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Punishment

My worst fear had come true.

Reynaldo was right in this bar. He had long seen me!

All those lies I had told were like a hard slap across my face.

I remained tense, not daring to move.

Reynaldo kissed me hard for a long time before letting go of me.

Then he used his slender fingers to stroke my red, swollen lips.

He looked at me with a smile though his tone was devoid of any emotion. “You were sleeping in a bar?”

He had always known I was here, yet he called me deliberately. I was forced to make up all those lies because of him! I couldn’t help but feel a bit pissed off at such a thought.

I said irritably, “You saw me. Then why bother calling me? Just to test me?”

His eyes darkened as he said with a half–smile, “I thought you’d tell me the truth. I even gave you a chance. But you lied to me again and again.”

He traced the outline of my neck with his fingers, making me worry if he’d snap my neck in the next second.

I started to feel uneasy again.

He smiled at me, “It seems you think you can lie however you want, and I’ll never do anything to you. Is that it?”

Chapter B Punishment.

“No!”

Only his beloved had the privilege to do so.

I didn’t exactly like that half–smile on his face; it was quite torturing.

I said in a muffled voice, “Yeah, I lied to you. How are you gonna punish me?”

“What do you think?“.

His smile grew deeper as he stared at me; the gold glint flashing across his eyes reminded me of a hungry wolf facing its prey.

As I recalled how crazy he was in bed last night, my legs gave way uncontrollably.

He held my waist, his voice hoarse. “You can barely stand before I even start?”

Was it too late to apologize now?

I tugged at his collar, saying pitifully, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to lie to you. I just didn’t want you to be upset…!

“Oh…” He stroked my waist through the thin fabric and chuckled. “So, you mean I shouldn’t get upset when you lie to me?”

“No!” I said hurriedly while dodging his hand. “I know you don’t like it when I go to bars, but Vonnie came back today, and it’s been ages since I last saw her. So, I…”

“What about Winston? He came back today, too. So, you couldn’t wait to come see him and even hold hands with him?”

“That’s not true!” I denied it subconsciously.

He must’ve seen Winston grab my wrist.

It was Winston who grabbed my wrist. How come he said we held hands?

It was two different things, OK?

I wanted to explain, but he had already started to pull me to the side door brutally.

He stuffed me into the car and then started it quickly.

I struggled to sit upright and then looked at him.

His jawline was extremely tense as he emitted a menacing aura that made people scared. It was like he had become someone entirely different.

I clutched my bag uneasily.

Maybe it was a terrible mistake agreeing to be his lover.

He had changed into someone I couldn’t afford to cross.

Just then, my phone rang.

I glanced at it and saw Winston’s name.

Turning to look at Reynaldo, who was no different from a huge ice cube, I sensibly hung up.

Reynaldo curled his lips mockingly.

I was bursting with anger but couldn’t say a word.

If it were in the past, I would have cursed at Reynaldo already. But now? I simply didn’t have the guts to do so.

Along the way, Winston called me three times, but I didn’t answer any of them.

Back at home, Reynaldo smiled at me meaningfully, “Why didn’t you

answer?”

“I was worried about upsetting you, of course!” I roared inside.

But on the surface, I maintained a fawning smile and said, “Why would I? I don’t have anything to talk to him about.”

“Really?”

He snorted, picked me up from the car, and carried me inside the villa.

All the servants were looking at us.

Awkward, I struggled. “Put me down. I can walk.”

“You walk too slowly, and I… already can’t wait.”

I couldn’t help but gasp.

Those couple of words he said at last, coupled with his hoarse voice, were nothing but titillating.

My face and even my neck flushed.

Suddenly, he leaned closer to my ear and let out a low laugh. “Who are you trying to impress by wearing so seductively?”

Reynaldo looked at me while maintaining his half–smile, waiting for a spectacle to unfold.
