Steve Burton couldn’t help but increase his strength, trying to use pain to evoke her response. However, she just kept her eyes tightly shut, silently enduring it. Not even a weak moan or a frown due to pain was given to him.
He thought of her reuniting and warmly smiling at Howard Coleman, Russel Henris, Madeleine, and Edward Woods after their separation, while being spoiled and making a fuss. But when facing him, she either addressed him respectfully as Mr. Burton or tried to please him cautiously.
No matter how harshly he treated her or how cold he was toward her, she could always act as if nothing had happened with such calmness, too lazy even to give him the slightest bit of anger or tears.
Just like now, he blocked her way of diverting her thoughts and pain. He tried his best to make her hurt, but she just maintained her silence and indifference, with no change in her expression.
This numb Ruby Gregory stimulated Steve Burton, making him treat her even more brutally.
Waves of pain seared through Ruby’s heart. She wanted to scream, moan, and release her shackled wrists to clench her palms and alleviate the pain. But in the end, she merely trembled her eyelashes slightly and continued to silently endure the storm Steve brought upon her.
The man’s actions became more and more ruthless, without any tenderness or mercy, as if he was purely venting his own desires.
His actions not only hurt her body, but also her heart.
Although Ruby only had intimate relations with Steve, she knew that his brute and crude treatment of her was only because he didn’t care about her at all, just taking advantage of her body.
He tormented her like this.
When Ruby was in so much pain that she thought she might die like this, he finally stopped, satisfied.
Despite her lack of response or cooperation, he was still dazzled by the stimulating sensation when it ended.
His gaze shifted to her face with a hint of confusion, finding her expression calm, like an emotionless shell.
So, it turned out that their relationship had always been just his own revelry.
Steve Burton’s lips curled with a touch of bitterness. He raised his hand, untied Ruby’s wrists, rolled over, and left her body.
Ruby wrapped her shoulders and slowly turned over, her back to Steve, curling up her body.
The room was very quiet, her face pale and her eyes closed, her breathing becoming somewhat weak.
Steve lay beside her, staring at her smooth and delicate back for a while, then looked up at the ceiling, his eyes seeming somewhat lost..
