His Domineering Lover

Lauren's body trembled and she stared straight at the huge canvas. Her eyes were full of dead silence.

"It's karma. This is karma. It's karma!"

"Revenge? Belated karma, the way I see it."

Raquel fell on the ground for a long time before she could breathe. The moment she fell down, she felt that all her internal organs were falling apart.

After suffering for two days in a row, she'd rather drop dead right on spot.

She still couldn't figure out how her life had fallen right into an inferno from Eden.

"What is it that you wan?"

Raquel knew what Aleigha was thinking, how she must be hating their guts at the moment.

What else could be awaiting them, if not miserable death?

"What do I want? Well, what could a law-abiding citizen like me want, right?" Aleigha smiled soul-stirringly.

However, the coldness that flashed through her eyes still caused Raquel to panic.

"You let my daughter go. I arranged everything all by myself. You can do whatever you want with me."

"But Lauren, not my Lauren, have mercy on her."

"Mercy? Did you and your daughter have mercy on my godmother, who had nothing to do with all of this? And didn't you think for the least of a second that you'd be kneeling here one day for what you have committed?"

The smile on the corner of Aleigha's mouth became more and more brilliant, but she felt colder from the bottom of her heart than ice.

"Take them away." Aleigha turned around and did not look at the mother and daughter anymore. Their screams were all that could be heard in her ears.

After leaving the villa, Aleigha went to the cemetery in the suburbs. Her godmother was buried here, and the ashes of her mother and grandmother were also moved here.

Three of her closest relatives had passed away one after another, and Adrian was the only one left by her side. It was inevitable that she would feel alone and solitary.

It wasn't until the evening that she got back to the car and went back to the cemetary.

The moment she entered the room, she could smell the stench of blood.

She subconsciously became alert, and her hand involuntarily reached into his bag and held the gun.

It was dark inside the room, and the only light coming in was from the moon outside.

"Aleigha, don't turn on the lights."

In the darkness, Adrian's voice was a little hoarse and filled with a trace of helplessness.

Following the voice, Aleigha ran forward and asked, "Adrian, what happened?"

Adrian was lying on the sofa, his breathing unstable. When he saw Adrian running over, she started to laugh softly.

"He-he, it's okay, but please help me up and deal with the wound by the way."

"Okay, okay, careful now, baby steps."

Aleigha held Adrian's body and reached out her hand, only to feel there was a part of Adrian's body that was sticky and moist.

Her heart tightened. "Adrian, you've lost a lot of blood."

"It doesn't matter. Let's talk about it after we get up."

After helping Adrian back to his bedroom, Aleigha turned on the light. What she saw was the startling bright red on his body.

It was even worse than when they first met.

Aleigha took the medical kit and carefully peeled off the clothes on his body. Only then did she clearly see the wounds on his body. The two bloody holes were so deep that she could hardly breathe.

"Who did this?"

She asked in a low voice while cleaning his wound, but she couldn't hide the whimpering tone of her voice.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm fine. It's not the first or second time that I have got a gunshot wound like this. I'll survive."

"It's okay, good girl, don't cry."

"Who did it!" Aleigha gave a low growl, but the action on her hand was even gentler. She was afraid that her emotion would get out of control and she would hurt him. "Darien," Adrian replied in a low voice as he pulled Aleigha into his embrace.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. If I don't get hurt, how can I force him to get out of his cave?"

"But even if that's the case, you didn't have to get yourself wounded like this... Seeing you like this, I..."

Aleigha rarely shed tears, but when she saw Adrian's injuries, she could not help but let her tears flow out.

"Baby, don't cry. I'm fine. And this is quite something necessary to pull out my plan, alright?"

"Now, did you miss me? I heard that you pulled quite a task today, right? Bravo."

"Just... don't move! This is not the time, alright, babe? I'll clean the wounds for you."

None of the bullets hit Adrian's vital body parts and none of them went as deep into his body as Aleigha thought.

Having got the experience of treating gunshot wounds, Aleigha successfully extracted the two bullets.

The high tension instantly broke down her body the moment she finished, making her sour and aching all over.

"I'll go take a shower. You can rest for a while, alright?"

After tidying up the mess, she went into the bathroom. The moment the cold water sprayed on her body, it instantly dispelled a lot of tiredness.

Adrian was injured. The person who

was the saddest was none other than her. This was not the first time that Darien had sent someone to attack him.

She was perfectly aware that she had to get rid of Darien.

Coming out of the bathroom, Aleigha found that Adrian, who was lying on the bed, had fallen asleep. Aleigha stepped forward

stroked his forehead aghtly and

He didn't have a fever, fortunately.

After nearly a sleepless night by the bed, Aleigha found that Adrian started burning a little bit. His sleep seemed to be disturbed by dreams. Aleigha constantly cooled him down with a cold towel. When his temperature dropped a little, she went downstairs and cooked some porridge for him. When Adrian came back, he didn't tell the servants about it. It was not until Aleigha got into the kitchen that the servants knew he was back. Adrian had always been the one to cook for her. All she had to do was wait for the food to be delivered.

Now that Adrian was hurt, despite her lack of experience in cooking, she still managed to make some porridge for him.

The taste was not as bad as she had imagined it would yet she still doubt whether Adrian could eat it.

She specially added some dried orange peel into the porridge so that it would have a unique flavor.

Seeing that Adrian showed no sign of waking up anytime soon, Aleigha turned the fire down and went back upstairs to stay at his side.

When Adrian woke up in the afternoon, Aleigha had already fallen asleep beside him.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

In her sleep, she frowned slightly and looked nervous, as if being haunted by a nightmare.

Adrian used her fingertips to gently stroke her forehead and smoothed out the sorrow between her brows.

"My little Aleigha hasn't smiled happily for a long time."

He remembered that when they first met, her eyes flashed with the light of scheming. She was as smart as a little charming fox. Though she was not the most beautiful woman he had seen, she did, nevertheless, left him with the most lasting impression. "Well? Are you awake? Let me see if you still have a fever." Aleigha suddenly woke up.

Looking into Adrian's deep eyes, she raised her hand to his forehead.

After a while, she took back her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, at least you are not burning hot anymore."

"Are you hungry? I made porridge for you myself. Would you like some?" Aleigha's voice was a little low.

When she said that she made it herself, she even sounded a little bit shy and humble.

Adrian narrowed his eyes and sized her up. Then, he smiled and said, "Why not? I'm a little hungry."

Hearing this, she shrugged her shoulders and turned to go downstairs.

Soon after she brought over a bowl of porridge. The mild taste of the porridge carried with it the sour taste of the orange peel, causing Adrian's appetite to swelling as he wolfed it down.

"It's not bad. It's not bad at all. Is there any of it left?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Adrian ate two bowls in a row, and his stomach was much more comfortable, but he was sleepy again.
