Chapter 308
Sophie felt her heart turn cold. The James she had known was never like this. At least, James would never stoop so low to obtain the
woman he desired.
In a soft voice, James said, “Sophie, I don’t want to force you. As long as you agree not to pursue the divorce, I will stop going after the Russell family.”
“Let go!”
Sophie tried to muster her strength, but the man’s physical advantage was undeniable, leaving her unable to break free from James‘
grasp..
A chill flashed in her eyes. “James, do you really think this will make me love you? This will only make me despise you more.”
“As long as you’re by my side, I don’t care whether you love me or hate me.”
James‘ eyes were filled with deep affection. It’s like all the tribulations of her past life were nothing but a dream.
But Sophie knew all too well that it was not a dream. She vividly remembered everything James had done to her in her past life. Facing a man who had once killed her, her heart was devoid of any love that once was.
“I refuse to be by your side. Even if you exhaust all means against the Russell family, I will never stay with you.”
Sophie felt James‘ grip on her wrist tighten bit by bit. He spoke with extreme restraint, “Sophie, don’t push me.”
“Where did the honorable Mr. Burke learn to force women like this? James, do you realize what you look like right now? You’re like a despicable suitor. How could you stoop so low! Even resorting to abduction? I feel nothing but disgust and revulsion at the sight of
you.”
Sophie’s words struck James deeply.
However, Sophie knew these words well. They were what James had said to her in their past life.
She clearly remembered the day after they had sex.
James looked down on her with disdain, saying, “Since when did the dignified lady of the Russell family stoop to such filthy and vile tactics? How could you degrade yourself like this! Even resorting to drugging? I feel nothing but disgust and revulsion at the sight of
you.”
Now, she was merely returning those words to James.
James had never faced such humiliation before anyone, and indeed, his face darkened with rage. “Sophie, you are my wife. Is it wrong that I love you? You want a divorce, but I will never agree.”
James reached out to tear Sophie’s dress, and as he leaned down to kiss her, the woman beneath him suddenly laughed.
James frowned deeply. “What are you laughing at?”
“James, what’s the point of forcing a woman who doesn’t love you to submit beneath you? Even if you force yourself on me tonight, it won’t change my determination to divorce you. You better give up.”
Sophie’s eyes were devoid of love, only cold indifference.
James clenched his fists, his restraint and patience completely collapsing at that moment. He was like a beast ready to break free at any moment.
“You are my wife. After tonight, I’ll find a way to keep you by my side, Sophie, you are mine, and mine alone.”
As James tore Sophie’s dress, merely touching her skin ignited a flame within him. Unable to control himself any longer, he was about to press down on her when the door was suddenly kicked open.
The light from the hallway flooded into the room, and Colby landed a punch straight on James, knocking him to the ground instantly. James wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. “Colby?”
