Chapter 16

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text into English:

Just a moment ago, she had registered with him, just a moment ago, she was beneath him in a myriad of seductive poses, and now, she was smiling radiantly at another man... His heart surged with a raging fire, as if it would consume him whole.

Tsirvini followed Lucas to the seat by the window at the far end. Passing by the restroom, she smiled at Lucas, "I'm going to the restroom..."

"Alright... the seat by the window over there..." he pointed to the seat for Tsirvini to see.

Tsirvini nodded, turned, and walked into the restroom. As soon as her hand touched the faucet, a force pulled her away from the restroom. She didn't have time to scream before she was dragged out of the restaurant through the back door...

In the dim light, his face was cold as ice. Tsirvini stared blankly at Daniel in front of her, feeling a dull ache in her chest once again.

She thought she would never see him again, and she hoped to never see him again in this lifetime—this man who was like a devil. But here she was, facing him so soon.

"What? The hotel's food isn't to your taste?" Daniel looked at her smooth, silk-like face, trying to catch a hint of panic there, but there was nothing.

Nothing at all?!

"How good can food taste when you're eating alone?" Tsirvini made no effort to hide her feelings. That was her first time, and even though she made a wrong choice, it was still a girl's most precious first experience. After taking her in such a situation, he just left... When she woke up to that cold, empty room, he was outside eating and drinking with someone else. Seeing him here, anyone could guess he was eating. Could it be he had a date with another woman?

How could he be so cruel, without considering her feelings at all?

"Are you complaining that I didn't accompany you..." His voice was as calm as water, but a barely noticeable softness flashed across his cold face.

Daniel ignored the struggling woman behind him and dragged her forward.

"You bastard, let go... let me go..." Tsirvini struggled desperately, but her strength was no match for his.

With a forceful tug, Daniel pulled her close and pinned her against the wall, lowering his head to seize her lips fiercely.

That fierce and arrogant momentum didn't scare Tsirvini. She opened her mouth and bit down. Daniel, in pain, let go of her and pushed her to the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked down at her coldly.

Tsirvini struggled to stand up. In front of him, she had lost her dignity and didn't want to appear so weak anymore.

Seeing her cold expression, a sudden pang of heartache passed through him. He reached out to pull her into his arms, but she took a big step back.

Daniel's eyes narrowed instantly, revealing a dangerous glint, a sign of his impending anger. For a long time, he just stared at her without any action or words.

Stepping forward, he took her hand, her fingers icy cold. "I'll take you to eat... Don't resist me anymore!" He led her to his car.

Tsirvini didn't resist. She didn't know if it was because she had no strength left to fight him or because she was momentarily dazed by his gentle words and actions.

The car hadn't gone far when Daniel's phone rang. He reached out to answer it.

"I have something to do..."

"..."

"Next time, I'll make it up to you..."

"..."

"Be good, go home early... Don't scold me... I won't be back tonight... That's it..."

He hung up the phone, and Tsirvini was still in a daze. Who was on that call? How could he speak so gently? She could vaguely see a slight smile on his handsome face. Was it the woman he had a date with today?

At a red light, he stopped the car and turned to look at her. Then, before the light turned green, he chuckled, "Alright... for the next two months, you can only be my woman, my wife..."

He pulled her head close and planted a kiss on her forehead, tender and burning, scorching her heart. She turned her head to look at the streetlights passing by, her face expressionless.

She didn't even notice her phone ringing for a long time.

Daniel turned to look at her, "Not answering the phone?" Tsirvini snapped back to reality and realized her phone had been ringing for a while.

She pulled it out and was shocked. Oh no, she had forgotten about Lucas! Tsirvini hurriedly answered the phone, hearing Lucas's anxious voice.

"Tsirvini? Where are you?..."

"I'm sorry, something came up suddenly, so I left... I forgot to tell you... I'm really sorry..."

She apologized, feeling extremely guilty. He had taken her out to eat because she was in a bad mood, and now she had disappeared without a word.

"Is it urgent? Are you okay?" Lucas's voice was full of concern, making Tsirvini feel even worse.

"Uh... yes... I'm sorry... I'll treat you next time..." Tsirvini quickly hung up the phone, annoyed with herself for being so rude, standing him up twice.

"Lucas, huh?" Daniel's voice was cool.

Tsirvini turned and glared at him. This jerk, messing everything up.

"You still want to treat him to a meal? Remember, you are my wife now..."

"Mr. Daniel, there's no need to keep reminding me. I will fulfill my obligations and never forget my duties..." Tsirvini interrupted him.

"That's good..." He smiled in a way that made her want to punch him, making Tsirvini grit her teeth.

The car stopped in front of a Japanese restaurant. He pulled her hand and led her inside. Tsirvini tried to break free from his grip but ultimately couldn't.

She looked up at him angrily. This jerk, did he think her hand didn't feel good?

"Honey, you can go find someone with a better feel... I won't have any objections..." Tsirvini suddenly put on a smile and said to the arrogant man in front of her.

"Then I really married the right person..." Daniel looked at her with a smile, feeling something inexplicable, as if his heart skipped a beat.

Tsirvini's smile faded under his gaze, replaced by a surge of anger. She lowered her head and treated the salmon in front of her as the jerk opposite her, cutting it into pieces...
