"Don't move." Edward Pike's deep voice sounded in Jane Sidney's ear. Jane paused for a second and then shouted, "Let go of me. What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you just call my name?" Edward rolled his eyes at the woman. Even in the darkened bathroom, he could still clearly see the panic and fear in her eyes.

"I... "Jane did not know how to respond and then complained, "What the hell is going on? How did the power suddenly go out?"

"This place is in disrepair," Edward said in a relaxed tone, taking a glance around, "Why don't you come to sleep at my place! Move into this room when it's finished being renovated."

"What?"

"Don't worry. I won't do anything to you." Edward replied.

Jane felt speechless. How had he gotten her to move into a house that was in disrepair and of questionable quality! What the hell was he thinking!

"Nobody's lived here for about twenty or thirty years!" Edward continued with an explanation, and then let go of Jane's hand to walk out. But Jane grabbed his hand and yelled, "Don't leave!"

Jane did not notice that the floor was slippery.

To keep herself from falling too hard, Jane, in a panic, grabbed Edward's arm, who was also reaching out to protect Jane from hurting herself. Edward was unwilling to annoy her brother. As a result, the two of them fell to the ground. The woman was on the top while the man was on the bottom.

The scene was quite awkward.

It was until then that Jane realized that the man was naked on top and only wearing a towel around his lower body!

God! It was too much of a coincidence. It turned out that both of them were taking a bath earlier.

What embarrassed Jane the most was that when she had just reached out to grab the man's arm, she had inadvertently pulled his towel off.

Jane felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest and blushed all over. She struggled to climb off the man but found that a change had taken place in one part of his body.

One of the man's organs in his lower body was like an inflated balloon.

How could this be?

"No. That's not right," the woman thought.

In the darkened bathroom, Jane could not see the change in Edward's expression. He was silent, and his breathing rate seemed to remain unchanged.

Jane wanted to get up and separate herself from Edward. Unexpectedly, the man went so far as to hold her slender waist in his hands and said in a commanding tone, "Don't move."

"I... well...you," Jane stiffened, her scalp growing numb.

She was only wearing a towel and nothing else.

"No, you cannot..." Jane was on the verge of tears. She was now straining to support herself with her feet, maintaining a slight distance from the man's body, but she felt like she was running out of strength.

Edward was still holding the woman tightly by her waist with both arms, not letting her go!

The woman had no idea that Edward was in the midst of a violent inner struggle. The man initially thought he was not interested in Jane. He would not have gotten so close to her if he had not been trying to protect her from King-Se and use her to get himself out of Old Master Pike's preaching. However, he surprisingly found that he was losing control of himself in front of the woman.

"Why so?" the man thought to himself.

For three years, he had forgotten what it was like to be in close contact with a woman.

Taking a deep breath, Edward tried to compose his mind.

He reminded himself that his marriage to this woman was an empty shell, and he did not want a complicated relationship with Jane either, especially when he thought of Stephen, the woman's overly loving brother.

He did not dare look at the blushed Jane but slowly closed his eyes. Just as he tried to let go of Jane's slender waist, Jane sat on top of him.

Edward got a shiver, and Jane began to shed tears. She raised her hand to slap Edward, the monster, in the face.

How could Edward allow her to hit him?

He grabbed her hand swiftly, "Wait!" He did not think what had just happened was his fault. It was the woman who had actively sat on him.

He knew that he should not have sex with the woman at this time. After all, he did not want Jane to hate him.

However, Edward felt numb and tense at this point.

The woman's soft skin and the scent of her body made his bones burn.

Jane broke away from the man's hand and pounded his chest with her fists, "Get it out! Take it out! You liar!"

Edward tried to adjust his breathing, trying to control himself. At that moment, the towel around the woman slipped off, revealing her inviting body.

Edward could not stop the blood from boiling all over his body.

"I, Jane...," Edward furrowed his brows, his forehead sweating, "I'll just... now..."

He thought he could still stop it.

Just then, the clock struck twelve.

Edward cursed, "Fuck!" and passed out.

Jane pounded the man's chest while complaining about his rudeness. Then the man suddenly laid motionless on the ground and seemed to be out of breath, though his body was still warm.

"Edward Pike? "Jane was so confused that she thought she had knocked the man out.

For a moment, she forgot to get off the man and pondered what was wrong with him. In her panic, she had utterly forgotten what Mrs. Miler had said about not leaving the room after midnight, no matter what happened.

She put her trembling hand under the man's nose as she called out, "Edward, Edward."

Suddenly, the man clasped her hand and opened his eyes to stare at Jane, the hesitation in his eyes gone, replaced by an evil, eerie, and decisive look. He even stuck his tongue out to lick the corners of his mouth.

Jane's nerves tensed for a moment. An unexplainable panic surged through her and then spread through her entire body.

Intuitively, she wanted to climb off the man.

She struggled to separate herself from the man, but Edward pulled her against his chest.

There was a sharp pain in Jane's lower body, and her whole heart was filled with a kind of fear, "No, no!"

"How dare you try to spare such a beautiful woman, Edward Pike, are you stupid?" The man smiled eerily, holding Jane tightly and getting up from the ground. His body was pressing against hers in the process.

Jane screamed. She felt as if she were going to die of pain.

"Edward Pike, please, let me go." Jane could only beg for mercy, tearfully looking at the man who was holding her so hard.

The look in Edward's eyes did not change a bit. He continued his lower body movements while reaching out to touch Jane's cheek and gently wiping away her tears with his fingertips. "Aren't you already married to me? Then you should know that it's normal for couples to have sex."

"No, we're not. You're...raping me!" Gnashing her teeth, Jane howled in a tearful voice.
