Chapter 0350 It was a good punch , too , enough for his nose to take a bit of damage and blood to trickle out .<\/p>\n
Though Irene looked small and dainty like a princess , she was Gavin Landrys daughter .<\/p>\n
Of course , he had her train at a young age for a bit of combat and self defense .<\/p>\n
She wasnt completely helpless , and when she wanted to , she could be a force to be reckoned with .<\/p>\n
Ethan saw stars for a moment before his vision came back .<\/p>\n
When he stared back at Irenes angered face , all he felt was pure rage ; his wolf did not like being threatened and wouldnt tolerate the disrespect .<\/p>\n
Without warning , he let out a low and deadly growl , gripping Irene by the throat and shoving her against the wall with so much force a few pictures fell off the wall and fell to the ground , cracking one of the frames .<\/p>\n
Dont you ever touch me like that again ! He seethed through his teeth , his eyes flashing dangerously as his wolf fought to take control .<\/p>\n
You have no idea what I am capable of .<\/p>\n
He squeezed her throat so hard it cut off her air .<\/p>\n
She struggled against his hold , trying to get him to release her so she could get a breath of air .<\/p>\n
Her eyes were large as she stared back into his eyes ; she tried to glimpse the Ethan she once knew and fell in love with , but it was clear he had long checked out .<\/p>\n
Maybe he was never there to begin with .<\/p>\n
I dont need you or your father anymore , Irene .<\/p>\n
Which means I dont give a fuck about what happens to you ! He growled .<\/p>\n
Now that he had Levi in his corner , he didnt need anything from Gavin Landry .<\/p>\n
I can make your life a living hell if you ever think about laying your hands on me again , do I make myself clear ?! His grip on her throat tightened , making it impossible for her to speak .<\/p>\n
She dangled in the air , trying desperately to grasp a breath of air ; she attempted to nod , praying that he received his answer .<\/p>\n
Thankfully , he did , and he released her , dropping her to the ground with a thud .<\/p>\n
She coughed and rubbed her aching throat , knowing he had left his handprints on her throat from how tightly he was grabbing her .<\/p>\n
They would heal soon enough , but still \u2026 the pure thought of Ethan hurting her so badly that it left a mark on her shattered her soul .<\/p>\n
Her body trembled as she gasped for air , desperate to fill her lungs .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Ethan stepped towards her , bending down to her so she could hear every word he was about to speak .<\/p>\n
Dont test me .<\/p>\n
Try that shit again , and I wont stop .<\/p>\n
Ill make sure my face is the last one you see , he threatened before standing to his full height ; he started towards the parlor entrance .<\/p>\n
Youre a monster , Irene whispered her voice nothing more than a croak .<\/p>\n
Tears stung their eyes as she watched his retreating form .<\/p>\n
At first , she didnt know if he could hear her because of how soft her voice was .<\/p>\n
But just before he reached the archway , he paused and glanced over his shoulder at her , his eyes cold and almost calculating , I never claimed to be otherwise , sweetheart .<\/p>\n
You saw what you wanted to see .<\/p>\n
You were easy to manipulate .<\/p>\n
You should have listened to Judy , he murmured .<\/p>\n
Ive been trying to get her to agree to be my mistress this entire time .<\/p>\n
She keeps refusing because , apparently , you deserved better .<\/p>\n
You threw away the only true friend you had .<\/p>\n
If anyones at fault , its you for your stupidity .<\/p>\n
With those words in the air , Ethan turned and left the villa Chapter 0350 Irene let out a sob as she crumbled on the ground ; Ethan was right , she did throw away the only friend she ever truly had .<\/p>\n
Her entire body was racked with trembles as she cried on the floor in the parlor .<\/p>\n
She pressed her knees to her chest and buried her face in her lap .<\/p>\n
She was unable to stop herself from sobbing to her hearts content .<\/p>\n
Her entire world crashed around her in seconds .<\/p>\n
She wasnt sure how long she spent in the parlor .<\/p>\n
Seconds turned to minutes , and minutes turned to hours .<\/p>\n
Once she started to snap herself out of her stupor , she grabbed her phone and called the one person she could think of .<\/p>\n
The only one she could truly count on .<\/p>\n
Daddy \u2026.<\/p>\n
She whispered into the phone once it connected her tone sounded broken , and Gavin was immediately on alert .<\/p>\n
Irene , whats going on ? He asked with a sense of urgency in his tone .<\/p>\n
I need you , she whispered , her tone quivering .<\/p>\n
Something really bad happened \u2026 I dont want to be alone .<\/p>\n
A sob broke through her lips before she could stop it , and Gavins heart plummeted .<\/p>\n
Ill book a flight for you and your brother tonight , he said without hesitation ; his kids will always come first , no matter what .<\/p>\n
Ill pick you up from the airport .<\/p>\n
