Wife Back 402
Chapter 402 You're Mine
Charlotte bit her lip and looked up at him, pale but defiant. "Arthur, you have no right to keep me here."
Her face was drained of color, and her eyes, red-rimmed from exhaustion, burned with anger. She hadn't eaten, hadn't rested- her whole body seemed on the verge of collapse.
Arthur loosened his tie and tossed it carelessly to the side. Without another word, he scooped her up in his arms.
"What are you doing? Put me down!" Charlotte thrashed and twisted, fighting with all her strength, and in desperation, she sank her teeth into his shoulder. She bit down so hard that a sour ache spread through her jaw.
But her struggle was futile. Arthur's grip didn't loosen-instead, he held her down even tighter, forcing her back against the bed. His kisses were fierce, almost aggressive, and in the same place. where she had bitten him, he retaliated by leaving a harsh bite of
his own.
Her teeth had drawn blood on his shoulder, but Arthur didn't seem to care. Pain radiated through Charlotte, but Arthur still refused to let her go. Charlotte shivered uncontrollably, twisting and turning in vain, but all her resistance met with his overwhelming dominance.
She bit her lip hard, swallowing back any sound that threatened

to escape her throat. Arthur, on the other hand, didn't hold back at all. His every move was strong and possessive, leaving no room for escape.
His eyes, a deep, dangerous red, locked onto hers. The sight of her enduring the pain silently, her stubborn defiance, felt like a knife to his heart. It tore him apart inside-an unbearable ache that spread through his chest like an icy wind, cutting him open. and leaving nothing but emptiness.
He clung to her tightly, as if he could merge her into his very being. But even as
he held her, kissed her, and claimed her, she still felt out of reach-so distant that it drove him to the brink of
despair.
It was as if the moment Arthur let his guard down, she would vanish completely, disappearing from his world forever. And that was something he absolutely couldn't allow.
Arthur thought bitterly, "Charlotte, you're mine. You belong to me. No one else."
The night dragged on, heavy and oppressive.
When it was finally over, Charlotte lay there motionless, utterly spent. Pain throbbed through her body, sharp and tearing, but her mind was elsewhere. Her empty gaze drifted to the window, where the night stretched endlessly, dark and suffocating. It felt like a bottomless abyss, pulling her in, threatening to swallow
her whole.
She had fought so hard for so long, but in the end, one party had Chapter 402 You're Mine
undone everything. Hope had gone in an instant. Charlotte felt lost, adrift, her mind drowning in confusion and despair.
The cool touch of ointment against her skin pulled her back to reality. She flinched slightly as Arthur's hand moved with surprising gentleness, applying the salve to her injuries.
Her lashes fluttered as she blinked, her throat dry and aching. "Arthur," she rasped, her voice hoarse and broken, "how long are you planning to torment me like this?"

"Does it hurt?" he asked softly, almost as if talking to himself. Arthur's focus remained on his task, his fingers carefully tending to her bruised skin. His expression was unreadable.
Arthur continued, "When I found out you were the one who sent Sarah to the lounge to find me, it hurt, Charlotte. It hurt in a way I didn't even know I was capable of feeling."
"I didn't-" Charlotte started, but Arthur cut her off.
"I couldn't think straight," he added, his voice thick with frustration. "The drugs had me completely out of control. But even then, all I could think about was you. How much you hate me. How much you must have wanted me to sleep with someone else, just to get rid of me."
He let out a bitter laugh. "I've been trying, Charlotte. I've tried to reflect on everything I've done wrong over the past five years. I know I've hurt you. You didn't want me near you, so I stayed away. I even bought the apartment above yours, just so I could see you from a distance. Just catching a glimpse of you going to

work in the morning was enough for me."
He closed the ointment jar and wiped his fingers with a tissue. His hands stilled, and his piercing gaze settled on her face. "But none of it matters, does it?" he said with a hollow, self-mocking smile. "You don't care, not even a little. Fine. If that's how it is, then let's just keep going like this. Forever."
