Two Stubborn Heart

At the bathroom

Ava was worried about her injured hand, if the wound touched water there would be an infection. She was racking her brain to find a way to take a bath without wetting her hand. Oliver volunteered to help her take a bath.

However, she pushed him away and said: "No need, I will wear gloves." She was still angry with him, even though she couldn't complain to him but she wouldn't let him humiliate her like that.

"Why? We are not strangers and I have seen your body before, why can't I help you take a bath." Oliver said with a naughty smile.

Ava gave Oliver a fierce look and through gritted teeth, she said "Get out, I can take bath myself."

Oliver smiled instead of getting angry. There was a trace of anger and embarrassment on Ava's face. He thought she looked really cute when she got angry over his teasings. Oliver loved to tease Ava like that but he wouldn't listen to her protest. Oliver suddenly grabbed Ava and threw her into the bathtub full of water without any warning and he got in too.

Ava was so angry at that moment she wanted to cry. This man would never listen to her and will always play a rogue. But what else could she do except for tolerating his tortures?

"Are you comfortable?" Oliver asked holding her from behind and rubbing his face against her.

Ava didn't want to have any intimate contact with him so she tried to move away but it was difficult in such a small space, beside her left hand was outside the tub to avoid water. Ava felt very frustrated.

"Ava, don't you know me yet? If you try to struggle, nothing good will come out of it." Oliver whispered in her ear seductively, his fingertips were rubbing gently at the right places on Ava's skin.

Ava couldn't take it anymore, his every touch seems to excite her more, she started to panic. "Are you done? I am tired, I want to go to bed." Ava suddenly grabs Oliver's hand and said panting.

Seeing her flushed cheek and foggy eyes Oliver smiled with satisfaction. He looked at Ava and in his magnetic low voice he said slowly, "Not yet, there is still room for more."

"Do you think it's fun?" Ava suddenly got angry, she really wanted to scream.

"Fun?" Oliver's face got dark. What does she mean, does she think he was playing with her? She should be glad that he was giving her such special treatment, he had never done such things with any other women. How could she say that?

"Isn't it? I'm just your toy, you do whatever you want with me. When you are angry you throw me in front of some roughs and you are happy you take me to watch a movie. When your girlfriend comes back, you leave me alone at the mall and now that she was unable to accompany you, you came back to play with me. What do you think I am?" Ava couldn't hold back her frustration and the humiliation anymore so she poured out everything in front of him.

Oliver just silently stared at her for a long time. So it was bothering her, he smiled and asked domineeringly. "Ava, what do you want? Say it."

Oliver wanted to hear her say she loves him. In fact, that was the reason he went to pick up Kiara today and also accepted the interview. He wanted her to react and he was very happy to see her reaction because it meant she was jealous. Now in no time, she will confess her love to him. That's exactly what he wanted.

However, Ava was also a very stubborn person. She always felt that she didn't have any dignity around Oliver. So she would never tell him that she loves him. If she did that she will only make a joke of herself because Oliver will never fall in love with her and if he knew how she felt about him he will humiliate her even more. No, she couldn't let go of the last bit of her self-esteem.

"What do I want? Oliver I know I made a deal with you and I don't have any right to even complain to you, so I won't. But could you please at least respect me a little bit and let me go?" Ava said looking Oliver in the eye. Since his girlfriend was back he didn't need her anymore so why not let her go.

Hearing her Oliver got angry, he just wanted her to confess but this stubborn woman would never do anything that he wanted her to do, she will always rebel. He felt frustrated.

"Ava, you want to leave? Go ahead as soon as you take a step out of this house I will let you go forever." Oliver said arrogantly, his voice was full of warning. His eyes were red in anger.

Ava could hear the warning in his voice she let out a bitter laugh. If only she could leave that easily. Ava knew very well if she left this house today, Oliver not only would destroy her but also will destroy her family. The Green Group just recovered from a crisis and was warming up with more business. Her willful choice might crash the company.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Oliver, I know, I mean nothing to you but could you please not hurt my family? I will stay with you until you are tired of me." Ava said softly lowering her eyes. She hated herself at that moment for being so weak, for not being able to stand up for her family and fight.

Oliver knew Ava was a stubborn and proud woman, she wouldn't bow down to anyone that easily but at that moment curling up at the corner of the tub she looked really helpless and vulnerable. He thought she must hate him for forcing her like this, but he had no choice, he couldn't let her go. His heart ached to look at her pained face, he was suddenly feeling very distressed, he wished he could hold her in his arms to comfort her.

Oliver didn't say anything else, he quickly helped her to clean her body and wrapped her in a big towel. In the bedroom, he dried her hair and put her in the bed to sleep. They didn't say a single word to each other that night. Oliver just took her in his arm and went to sleep.

Both of their heart was entangled with each other yet, they were so stubborn that no one was willing to bow down and show their weakness.
