Chapter 86: The mysterious uncle.
Riya lay curled up on the bed, her skin littered with red marks, her body sore, and her heart shattered. Tears slid down her cheeks silently as she stared blankly at the man standing by the bed, pulling on his shirt.
She gazed at his broad, muscular back. Mustering her courage, she said, "I did what you wanted. Will you help me now?"
He said nothing, continuing to fasten his buttons like he hadn’t heard her.
Clutching the blanket around her naked form, Riya sat up. "Please... Nathaniel can’t see that footage. You said you’d help."
He turned slightly, casting a cold glance over his shoulder. "I never said that."
"What?" she exclaimed, shocked.
"You are mistaken," he said flatly, turning fully to face her. "You are the one who said you’d do anything for my help. I never made you any promises. I only gave you an offer to sleep with me, and you accepted it willingly. I never said I’d help you in return."
Riya stared at him in disbelief. He had tricked her, used her desperation against her, and threatened her. Then he had taken her in every possible way, tormenting her for an hour.
"You bastard," she choked, her body shaking. "How could you treat me like this? The Grant family raised me like their own, gave me everything. If they find out what you did, they’ll destroy you."
The man didn’t flinch. He stepped closer, face calm, unreadable. Then he leaned over and grabbed her jaw, his fingers digging in.
"You really think you can threaten me?" he snarled dangerously. His grip tightened.
Riya winced. She grabbed his wrist, trying to pry him off, but her struggles made him only squeeze her harder.
