Chapter 70
Jenna was completely stunned. She read each line carefully. It turned out that the man standing in the dark that night was really Hansen. Hansen was the one who saved her from Norton's assault.
There were mixed feelings of surprise and joy in her heart, but there was also a dull pain.
How could it be so coincidental? He just happened to be there!
She felt his anger through his words. She couldn't help but wonder, even if she had acted intimately with Norton, even if it was consensual, why was he so furious?
Did it mean that he had started hating her since then? However, they weren't engaged then. It had nothing to do with him!
Why did he keep her photo?
She counted on her fingers and flipped the diary to the year when she was in her senior year. That was when he was ordered to marry her soon after graduation. She actually wanted to know how he could have married her while bearing such a grudge.
[One gloomy day.
I never thought Grandma would make such clumsy mistakes. She asked me to marry that woman. That sl*tty woman, I want to fight against my fate. That woman had a pure and innocent appearance but was incomparably filthy inside. Why should I marry her!]
Jenna saw Hansen's powerful handwriting, line by line, full of hatred, disdain, and disgust. Jenna's name was even crossed out several times.
The pain that had been buried deep in her heart began to spread again. It was so painful that she could not breathe, and her lips also turned pale.
Just as she thought, he hated her and hadn't had any affection for her from the start!
She couldn't stand it anymore. Obviously, he had hated her since university, even before she was married to him. Then why did he marry her in the first place if he hated her so much? Even if Grandma had given the order, he could have resisted. Why hadn't he resisted to the end?
If he had resisted more, maybe they would both be happy now.
She remembered the night of their wedding. He was drunk and forced himself on her. It was unrestrained and brutal. Now she learned that it was his malicious revenge. It was cruel torture, without any warmth nor compassion. That night was like a nightmare. She fainted and when she woke up, she was laying naked on the bed. She was not even covered with the quilt and she never saw him again. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Jenna's heart throbbed again, and tears streamed down her face.
She thought that if she continued reading, she would go crazy.
Heavy footsteps were coming her way and she felt a sense of danger. She panicked and quickly raised her head.
Hansen's livid face appeared in front of her. He stared at the diary in her hand, and his sharp gaze seemed like he was going to kill her.
Jenna hurriedly closed the diary. When she looked down, she noticed that he was clenching his fist tightly. He was clenching his fist so tightly that the straps of the briefcase in his hand wrinkled. It looked like he was enduring pain!
There was a great panic arising from her heart.
"What are you doing? Why did you break into my study?" He roared angrily. The anger on his face was so intense that it seemed to melt her, "You vile, ungrateful woman."
Hansen's angry voice shook the whole house. Larry, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out in a panic. She was trembling and didn't know what had happened!
Hansen handed the briefcase in his hand to Larry and said, "You can go back to Richards Manor now. Remember, don't tell anyone that you've been here."
"Yes, Young Master," Larry carefully took the briefcase in Hansen's hand and put it in another study. She hurried out and headed back to Richards Manor.
Hansen grabbed the diary in her hand and gnashed his teeth, "Tell me, what on earth are you trying to do?"
Jenna's eyes were teary, and she was in a daze.
"Don't you know that it's wrong and immoral to read other people's diaries? What do you think I should do to you?" He took a step forward. The dangerous atmosphere was overflowing, and his scary appearance seemed that he wanted to swallow her alive.
Jenna was also filled with anger the past few days. After Hansen yelled at her, she came back to her senses.
"Didn't I just take a look at your diary? What's wrong? Did I break the law? Hansen Richards, what do you mean? How can you lock me up here?" She did not show any sign of weakness. She was full of anger and questioned him incessantly.
"How could you explain this with such a straight face?" Hansen had lost his mind because of Jenna's resistance. He took Jenna's hand and shouted angrily, "What on earth do you want?"
"Is there something shady in your diary that can't be seen? Did you do something bad?" Her arm was hurting. Jenna instinctively fought back. She tried to shake off his hand and shouted at him.
"Very well, you made a mistake and still don't know how to correct it. It seems that you really need to be punished. I am too kind to you!" Hansen's anger flourished even more at the thought that she had wanted to choose Rayan on the island, "Today I will let you know the consequences."
His arm wrapped around her waist. He lifted her up and walked into the bedroom. He then threw her onto the bed and quickly took off his clothes, revealing his strong and lean muscles.
"Lunatic, what are you going to do?" Jenna felt dizzy and had a bad premonition. At that time, he looked like a mad man who had lost his mind. She tried to get up in a hurry but it was too late. As soon as Hansen's burly body rushed towards her, his powerful hands ripped off her clothes and pinned her down. He said fiercely with red eyes,
"Woman, don't test my patience. I am not a kind person. You have crossed the line several times. What do you want to do? Tell me, are you doing all these to deliberately seduce me and climb into my bed? Well, today I will satisfy your wish."
"That's not the case," Jenna pushed him, shouted, and struggled desperately, but unfortunately, the disparity in strength was too great, and it was useless. He pressed his body against her and she could not move an inch.
She was ashamed, angry, and furious! Sorrow and helplessness arouse in her heart. She clenched her teeth.
On their wedding night, he treated her brutally and rudely like this. It was as if he had lost his rationality. She fainted several times, but she could still account his rudeness to his drunkenness. That day, she sold herself to him, and she let him do whatever he wanted to her. If she hadn't
relived the horror of her wedding night countless times and her heart had been strong enough, she didn't know how she would have survived.
Was the same thing going to happen to her again today?
No way, she would not let him have his way!
"Hansen, you devil, b*stard, narcissist. I despise you. If you want to vent, go find Aria," her eyes were full of tears as she cursed bitterly. "Stop mentioning her. It's useless. At least she's cleaner than you. Don't think that I'll let you off the hook. Let me tell you, I'm just going to have you right now and then throw you on the streets, what can you do to me?" Hansen's face was red and his body temperature kept rising. His eyes were radiating cold and fierce light.
What a b*stard! Jenna was so angry that she was trembling and bursting into tears.
"Hansen, if I am not clean, wasn't it because of you? Since your Aria is clean, why don't you go to her? I have already told you that Norton was the one who abducted me that night. Since you don't believe me, it doesn't matter. But let me tell you, today I will never let you succeed. Even if you were the one who saved me that night, I will not be grateful. Men of the Richards family are all b*stards," her nails sunk into his flesh, and she wanted to vent all her hatred back at him, "Today, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I will make you pay back tenfold later."
She was shuddering all over, and the sweat and tears had soaked the skin on Hansen's chest. Hansen was confused, and he didn't even know what he was doing.
"Stop pretending. If you're so pure and innocent, then who did you lose your virginity to?" He pinched her chin with his hand and was mad with hatred. The veins on his forehead bulged.
Virginity? The heart- wrenching pain shooting up from her chin couldn't divert her attention from Hansen's words that shocked her. Her virginity? She fainted that night and woke up on a tidy bed.
She did not see any blood and thought Hansen had thrown away the dirty sheets. Did she not bleed that night?
Forgetting the pain and hatred, her eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Although the culture in A city was more open-minded, women from famous families were expected to bleed on their wedding night. Otherwise, they would be despised by their husbands. Besides, both men and women in A city had deep-rooted thoughts that if the woman's first time was not with her husband, their marriage would not be harmonious. It was a consensus among everyone, including the women themselves.
Men cared about it, and women cared about it too. Although they knew that it was unfair to women, it was the social reality in A city.
Jenna was completely puzzled, and her face was full of bewilderment. It turned out that she did not bleed that night. No wonder Hansen hated her so much. But what was wrong with her? She had always taken good care of her virginity. Except for that night when Norton tried to force himself on her, she did not have anything to do with other men.
Then what on earth was going on?
"Admit it. You're a sl*t. Stop pretending," Hansen did not hide the disgusted gaze from his eyes. His face was filled with sarcasm, as if he had seen through her tricks.
"No, I've never been with any man except you." Hansen's mockery and disdainful smile made Jenna come to her senses instantly. She understood the crux of the problem. She couldn't let him misunderstand her like that. Even if they would be on their own in the future, she couldn't let him think she was a sl*t. She gathered all the energy in her body in her hands, and she pushed him away with all the strength she could muster, screaming angrily.
Hansen was pushed aside and rolled over, and his senses grew clear. He felt a dull pain in his heart and closed his eyes.
In fact, he didn't care about those things, did he? However, he was a man, and the woman who married him was not a virgin. Where was his dignity? Despite the fact that he was well-educated and had some physiological knowledge, he couldn't get over it deep in his heart. In fact, his disgust and dislike for her for so many years existed because of that factor.
However, everything was in the past, right? Why even bring it up? Was it just because she shouldn't be reading his diary?
