Chapter 47 - 45: Powerless
She was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to die at his hands like this, and in such a disgraceful manner.
Would her death anniversary have to be on the same day as her mother’s?
She had thought that returning to the Spencer Family would uncover the truth about her mother’s suicide, but unexpectedly, she had placed her own life in jeopardy.
She lost, she couldn’t possibly beat someone with the Spencer surname. Her feet stopped struggling, and she lightly closed her eyes, letting the tears escape. She hurt, her whole body hurt, but nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
The tears flowing down her cheek dripped onto Liam Spencer’s hand. He felt the scorching heat of her tears, clearing his mind somewhat. Staring at the girl in front of him, seeing her lightly closed eyes, displaying a look of utter hopelessness, he swallowed hard, then rudely tossed her onto the ground.
Maya Spencer was stunned when she was thrown onto the ground, inadvertently coughing, and then she hurriedly grabbed the thin blanket that had fallen off the bed’s edge to cover herself.
Even though something that shouldn’t have happened did happen between them, she still felt shy, still felt ashamed. Moreover, his earlier sarcasm made her unwilling to show her distress in front of him.
Liam Spencer watched the girl use the blanket to cover herself, finding it ridiculous. He wondered, this time, what kind of saint she was pretending to be. When she invited him to dance, why was she so proactive? When her face was nestled in his arms, why wasn’t she embarrassed in the slightest?
At this moment, no matter what Maya Spencer did or said, Liam Spencer would not believe her. He simply thought she was acting. Furthermore, her previous behaviors had long revealed her restlessness. Wasn’t she shameless with both him and Henry Reid or Elijah Reed?
Liam Spencer firmly believed that the girl before him was the same with other men as with him, that all her restraint was merely an act, a performance to garner sympathy.
