C9 You just destroyed our friendship

Paul seized my hand and forced me to sit on his lap. I leaned on his shoulder since my head was hurting and I felt dizzy. There were a few more inches between us. I put my hand on his chest and tried to push him, but I couldn't.

I drew my eyelids gently closed. Everything was spinning in front of my eyes, and I couldn't stand it any longer.

I supported myself by holding Paul's neck. He grabbed my jaw in his hands and forced me to face him.

"Elena, why did you go with him? You even have the audacity to call out his name in front of him," Paul snarled at me.

"Don't you know how much I hate seeing you with another man? Have you forgotten about last night's condition?" Paul asked. I couldn't even speak to him because I was dizzy. I abruptly lost consciousness and collapsed into his arms.

"Elena, Elena, what's the problem?" Paul said her name aloud.

He drew her close to his chest and gently shook her.

"Hey, Elena, get up." He felt agitated and began rubbing her palm with his own.

"Elena, wake up; please don't frighten me," Paul worriedly said. He was attempting to rouse her.

'Oh no, why isn't she looking at me? I knew she was terrified of fast cars, but I couldn't help myself,' Paul thought as he slammed his fist on the side window of the car.

After a while, Elena came to her senses after calling her so many times and gently opened her eyelids.

When I opened my eyes, I witnessed Paul bending over my face, tears in his eyes. I gazed up with a hazy expression.

"Elena," Paul said with tears in his eyes. I blinked and opened my eyes slightly.

"Tell me where it hurts, honey." Paul said, placing his palm under my head and rubbing my cheek with his other hand.

[Side story]

Robert and Anne arrived safely home. Pom greeted them warmly.

"Do you know where Elena is?" Robert asked Pom.

"Master, she is at her friend's house; she will stay with her tonight," Pom responded.

Robert nodded and asked once again, "Where is Paul?"

"He-." Pom began to speak, but Anne gestured for her to stop.

Anne stated, "Let them have fun, babe. They've grown up and need some privacy."

"Let's go to the room; I'm exhausted." Anne took his hand in hers, and Robert followed in her footsteps. They went to their room.

Anne walked downstairs, and after a bit, she came downstairs and asked Pom, "Where is he?"

Pom said, "Ma'am, he went out extravagantly but hasn't returned yet."

"And he was drunk too," Pom said hesitantly.

"What?" Anne said, her expression irritated.

Pom answered, "Yes, ma'am."

"All right, now you can leave," Anne said as she sat on the couch and dialed Paul's number. She attempted to contact him, but he was unavailable.

'Damn it. Paul, where are you? I warned this brat not to do such a thing. Robert doesn't like it, but look at you, Paul; you don't seem to care. I'm doing everything to ensure his future, but what about him? He resembles his thug father in every way. As quickly as possible, I needed to transfer all of Robert's property to Paul. It will be too late otherwise. Robert will give that bitch everything he has.' Anne murmured to herself.

Paul's perspective.

"Elena, what's the matter?" I asked.. I was a little nervous. I didn't want to be without her.

Elena was on the verge of saying something, but she couldn't. She was in excruciating pain. She made an attempt to put her hand on her head.

"Is it here?" I questioned her, touching her forehead.

"Mm..." Elena pushed me softly, but I clung to her hard.

"Stay here. Don't bother me again," I said, taking a stand.

Elena murmured softly, "Paul, please." She was trying to move, but could not do so because of her weakness.

"Elena, sleep in my arms," I whispered as I drew her to my chest.

I forced her to sit properly on my lap. I neatly adjusted her skirt and covered her thighs. I cradled her in my arms like a baby. Elena was drowsy and immediately fell asleep.

I had a firm grip on her hand. I drew my eyes to her head wound. It became pitch black.

I probably shouldn't have driven so recklessly, but what could I do? It was not my fault that you made me angry.

It's all because of that scumbag. He would pay the price because it was because of him I injured my precious angel. On her wound, I kissed her. Elena, you are my sweetheart; please don't push me away from you.

I said, "I'm sorry, Elena."

[Side story]

Obin was on the phone with someone and said, "Boss, I transferred all the money to Robert's account."

"Hmm... well done," that person uttered from the other side of the phone.

[In the car]

I was cradling her in my arms and driving slowly. Elena was soundly asleep on my arm. I touched her on the shoulder with my index finger.

My eyes and finger suddenly fixed on her lips, and I began to rub.

Oh my goodness, it's so soft and lovely. My desire was to devour her from head to toe; her body, soul, and love were all mine.

"Now, Elena, I genuinely want to adore you."

Something strange happened to me that shouldn't have happened just now. It began pricking her thigh. I cursed and mumbled to myself, "Her imagination is all it takes to arouse my desire. What am I supposed to do now? Right now, I'm unable to do anything." I have to go right now.

I clutched her securely in my arms and began driving. I just didn't want to miss her embrace.

[Ron's residence]

"You just destroyed our friendship because of that girl!" Ron yelled as he flung his wine glass on the floor.

"Is she so important to you?" Ron said. Ron gritted his teeth and screamed angrily.

"Okay, I'm interested in seeing how long you can keep her away from me. You can't stop me from pursuing her."
