Dangerous Liaisons: Love in the Shadows Chapter 54
Clyde's sudden chuckle caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of irritation. It was as if his laughter was scraping against my patience. His amusement seemed to mock me. As the seconds ticked by, my annoyance only intensified. It was fueled not only by Clyde's attitude but also by the audacity of his arrogance."This is not going anywhere if he kept this nonsense attitude of his up," I muttered to myself, frustration bubbling beneath the surface like a tempest threatening to break free from its constraints. The notion of finding common ground with Clyde seemed increasingly futile."You wanted to come to terms? That's why you are here?" Clyde's words, dripping with condescension, struck me like a slap to the face."Oh dear, let me correct you then, you are here because 'I' wanted you here," he continued, his tone dripping with smug satisfaction. The audacity of his words left me speechless, a bitter taste lingering on my tongue as I struggled to comprehend the depth

As Clyde's words hung in the air, dripping with his usual venomous sarcasm, I could feel the familiar surge of irritation building within me. It seemed that every encounter with him only served to reinforce my disdain for his condescending demeanor."Is there anything else you'd like to add?" I interjected, my voice laced with a veneer of feigned self-assurance. With a piercing glare, I challenged him to persist with his trivial taunts.“I-“ But before Clyde could gather his thoughts and form a retort, I swiftly interjected once more, determined not to grant him the gratification of getting under my skin any further."Good," I declared, my tone clipped and dismissive. "Since you don't have anything else to contribute, let's cut to the chase and get down to business."I turned abruptly, my body language conveying my dismissal of Clyde's presence. Each step I took reverberated through the expansive room, the sound of my footsteps echoing against the polished marble floor. As I approached

"How bold of you to think that you are worthy of doing anything for me," he remarked, the smirk on his face infuriatingly condescending.Refusing to let his arrogance go unchecked, I mirrored his smile, though mine was tinged with a hint of defiance.

Clyde's words hung in the air, a sense of foreboding settled over me like a dark cloud, threatening to suffocate me with its weight. I had braced myself for the worst, expecting him to demand that I betray Carmine, to take his revenge on him in the most ruthless way possible.I had prepared myself for the possibility that he would ask me to divulge all of our inside secrets, to tear down everything we had worked so hard to build. But when he uttered those unexpected words, asking me to marry him, I was caught off guard, my mind struggling to comprehend what I had just heard.For a moment, I told myself that I must have misheard him, that surely he couldn't be serious. But the look in his eyes told me otherwise, a glint of determination that sent a chill down my spine.I blinked in disbelief, the shock of his proposal reverberating through me like a thunderclap.

My hands clenched into fists, nails digging into my palms as I fought to suppress the surge of anger bubbling within me. I despised the way Clyde always acted as though he were the master of the universe, as though he had the right to dictate the lives of those around him with impunity.I loathed him with every fiber of my being, despised the very sight of him and the arrogant smirk that seemed permanently etched onto his face. How dare he presume to think that I would bow to his every whim, just because he had taken me hostage in this godforsaken place?"Then I'm not following your order," I declared, my voice trembling with barely-contained fury as I made to stand from my seat. But before I could rise, Clyde exerted pressure on my shoulders, forcing me back down into my place with a strength that belied his casual demeanor."I'm not done yet," he murmured, his tone dripping with malice as he leaned in close, his breath hot against my ear. And in that moment, as his words hung heavy i
Dangerous Liaisons: Love in the Shadows Chapter 59
I paced back and forth across the room, my mind racing with a thousand questions and doubts. What could possibly be driving Clyde to offer such a deal? There had to be some ulterior motive, some hidden agenda lurking beneath the surface. After all, I knew him well enough to understand that he wouldn't do anything unless it served his own selfish interests.But try as I might, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something I was missing, some crucial piece of information that would unlock the mystery behind his sudden proposal. I racked my brain, searching for any clue that might shed light on his true intentions, but the answers remained frustratingly elusive.One thing was for certain: marrying Clyde was not an option I was willing to entertain. The very thought sent a shiver of revulsion down my spine, the idea of binding myself to him in such a way filling me with a sense of dread and foreboding. No, whatever his reasons may be, I was determined to find another way out of thi

As Susan's probing questions continued, a flicker of suspicion ignited within me. Why was a mere maid so invested in the affairs of the master and his guests? Her persistent inquiries hinted at a hidden agenda, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than met the eye.Determined to uncover the truth, I decided to test the waters, gauging her reaction to my next words carefully. With a calculated air of nonchalance, I casually mentioned Clyde's proposition, watching closely for any telltale signs of surprise or alarm."I think I'm going to agree with the deal he offered me," I declared, my tone deliberately casual as I awaited her response.To my surprise, Susan's reaction was anything but subtle. Without missing a beat, she cut straight to the chase, her question sharp and direct."What deal?" she demanded, her eyes narrowing with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.A small smirk tugged at the corners of my lips as I watched Susan's reaction unfold. ‘There she goes,’

Susan's desperation was palpable as she struggled against my grip. She knew, just as well as I did, that she had no escape now. Even if she managed to wriggle free from my grasp, the danger loomed over her like a shadow. Clyde held all the cards, and I could easily tip the scales against her at any moment. I watched her with a mixture of pity and disdain as she pleaded. It was a pitiful sight, really, to see someone so utterly powerless in the face of their own demise. But I couldn't afford to let my guard down, not for a second. Susan's fate rested in my hands, and I held all the power. "Only by revealing the truth can you save yourself," I uttered, my voice dripping with icy resolve. The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air.
