Chapter 73 No One Else but Me Will Want You
“What are you doing, Peter?!” Chloe gasped for breath, struggling to push him away.
“Chloe, I feel terrible. Please help me. I’ll marry you when we get out of here,” Peter pleaded.
“Don’t touch me, Peter! Wake up!” Chloe raised her voice, screaming
“You’re so beautiful. I can’t resist touching you. Just agree to be with me.”
“But I don’t like you! If you touch me again, I’ll call the police!” Chloe warned.
Smack!
Peter slapped Chloe hard across the face, leaving five distinct finger marks on her cheek. He then proceeded to forcefully tear off her clothes as his face contorted with excitement.
“It doesn’t matter. Once everything is over, no one else but me will want you.”
Enduring both mental and physical agony, Chloe forced herself to swallow the bloody taste in her throat. Her expression dulled as she watched her clothes disappear one by one. As if she had lost all hope, she stopped struggling and stared at the ceiling as tears of despair streamed down her cheeks.
But she refused to give up. She was in her prime-with youth and beauty on her side.
‘I… I refuse to give up!’
When Peter lunged at her again, Chloe seized the opportunity and kicked him hard in the groin.
“Argh!”
While he writhed in pain, she struggled to get up and run.
But before she could even leave the bed, Peter grabbed her hair from behind.
“Trying to run? There’s no way out!” Peter’s eyes glinted with madness as he viciously threw Chloe back onto the bed. “You used to be the most popular girl in our college, but now you’ve been kicked out by your family. What are you pretending for?”
Chloe felt as though her internal organs were about to come out of her throat from the force of the impact. She was too weak to argue with him and curled up in pain, almost wishing for death.
As soon as Peter saw that she had stopped struggling, he eagerly climbed on top of her.
Losing all hope, Chloe closed her eyes.

The sound of a door opening suddenly echoed through the quiet space.
Patrick and Icarus stood at the door, stunned.
The woman on the messy bed barely had any clothes on her body. She was hunched over, and her shoulder blades looked like a butterfly about to take flight. Apart from her swollen face, there were several injuries on her body. Tears streamed down her face and she looked utterly grief-stricken.
Icarus was the first to react. His eyes blazed with anger as he rushed forward and grabbed Peter by the collar, punching him fiercely in the face until he was unconscious.
After Patrick regained his composure, he tremblingly pulled the covers over Chloe and immediately called 911.
Joseph rushed back to Asvand on a private plane that traveled overnight. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw that Chloe had needles in her hand. Her face was pale and her brows were tightly
furrowed despite her being unconscious.
His heart ached at the sight of her and he reached out to check the injuries on her face. But as soon as his fingertips touched her, she seemed to be frightened and her body trembled uncontrollably.
He paused for a moment. His fingers hovered in mid-air before he withdrew them.
“I was gone for only half a day. How did you get yourself into such big trouble?” he said, “How can you not protect yourself?”
Patrick quietly approached Joseph and said, “The perpetrator has woken up. Do you want to see him?”
“No,” Joseph replied harshly, “Just let the police handle it.”
“Understood. Also, the owner of the seaside villa has left.”
“Okay. Let him be.”
Last night, after Joseph had received a call from Patrick, he found out the reason for Chloe’s leave of absence from her superior. Luckily, the boss had asked Chloe where she
was going, and that was how Joseph learned that she had gone to the seaside villa.
There were only a few seaside villas around, and after asking a few security guards, he confirmed which one she had gone to. Interestingly, the owner of the villa had also received news that someone had broken into his home and rushed over.
It was late at night, and Jake was abruptly awakened by a splash of cold water to his face
courtesy of his uncle.
Startled, Jake jumped up, staring at the fuming Icarus in confusion. “Uncle Icarus, why the hell did you do that for?!
