"You are not allowed to call my name!" Vera shouted, interrupting Nathan, her eyes full of disappointment as she stared at the man. "I foolishly believed you would never do anything to hurt me, but I was wrong, so terribly wrong!"
"That's because you chose the wrong person. You should have chosen me, not Kris Cooper!" Nathan raised a brow and strode forward, grabbing her arm. "Come upstairs with me!"
"Let go of me!"
Vera struggled hard, and Nathan bent down, lifting her from the ground, carrying her upstairs.
"Let go!"
Unable to break free, she flailed her hands, slapping and clawing at his face and body without hesitation, but Nathan just held her tightly and strode up the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs, Irene's face broke into a cold smile.
Nathan marched upstairs, arriving at the master bedroom's door. Finding it closed, he set her down to open it.
Vera's hand lashed out, clawing at his face, leaving several bloody marks immediately. She turned to run.
