Chapter 270 Settling Score 2
After all, Hera wasn’t a saint, and it was hard not to be petty sometimes. But she only planned to settle her score with him.
"T-then... how are you planning to settle the score? You’re not going to reject me right away, are you?" Rafael stuttered, his face turning as pale as a sheet of paper.
Hera rolled her eyes at him. Why would she throw away a perfect tool that was called ’male lead’ that could change her fate into the trashcan, only to be picked up by the female lead? She wasn’t stupid.
Hera knew she sounded like a villainess taking advantage of Rafael to achieve her goals, and she didn’t intend to sugarcoat it. She acknowledged that what she was doing wasn’t good, but reality is different from a fairytale. Life is a struggle, and sometimes, survival means using opportunities or people. What she was doing was simply trying to survive, not just for herself, but for all the lives connected to her.
Why would she bother to consider what looks good on her when her life could end at any moment? Although this didn’t sit well with her, what mattered most now were the many lives that depended on her.
"No, didn’t I promise to give you a chance? But since you just asked for permission to court me, what happened between us was what lovers do, and I don’t think we’re in that kind of relationship. That means what happened could affect my reputation, especially with the scandal about me still spreading on the internet. If this incident was filmed and spread online, I hope I don’t need to tell you where it might lead." Hera shrugged before continuing.
"Honestly, with your actions earlier, I thought you were trying to feed the gossip against me to ruin me further." She wanted to give him a scare, gaining an advantage over him so he wouldn’t be able to retort.
"No!" Rafael exclaimed, but he didn’t know how to explain himself. He could only chide himself for being impulsive and not thinking properly. He hadn’t even realized how quickly he got aroused. Normally, he stayed far away from women, except for his mother and sister, because he hated drama and schemers who could ruin his peace of mind. But he didn’t expect that getting close to Hera, with just a simple touch and hearing her moans, would arouse him so much that before he knew it, he was already on his knees, stroking her.
But even after he came to his senses, he still didn’t stop. In fact, he didn’t want to stop. He actually wanted to go further and fuck her senseless. His rationality was overpowered by his own desire. Even he didn’t expect it. He had always believed he didn’t have any desire for a woman’s body, only to be proven wrong. Even now, his hard shaft wasn’t going down.
"How about this? You tell me how I should compensate you," Rafael tried to negotiate with Hera. Usually, when it came to negotiations, he was confident and always had the upper hand, but now he wasn’t so sure and felt a bit nervous.
"Are you trying to sweep what happened under the rug and just compensate me? Don’t you think that’s insincere and disrespectful?" Hera’s voice was neutral, but there was a hint of reprimand and authority.
