First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Haven’t Touched You for So Long

Serena Jennings had a foreboding feeling, instinctively wanting to flee.

However, as she turned, Caleb Lockwood suddenly slammed the door behind her.

Her slender body was lifted, and Serena struggled desperately, but she was still thrown onto the bed by Caleb.

On the bed, Serena clutched her neckline tightly, her eyes red and wary of him. Caleb couldn’t help but laugh.

"Serena, as long as we haven’t divorced, you’re my lawful wife."

The Caleb before her seemed, in Serena’s eyes, like a ravenous beast. She watched him take off his suit jacket, remove his shirt.

"I don’t want to do this, you can’t force me!" Serena shouted at Caleb with all her might, but her voice trembled and distorted.

"Of course I can."

Without a word, Caleb lunged forward.

Underneath him, Serena was like a frightened, trembling small animal, curled up tightly, even her toes clenching the sheets.

After three years of marriage, Serena had always been sufficiently cooperative in matters of intimacy.

So after a long time, it was inevitably tedious.

But today, Serena was different, instead rousing his interest.

"What’s this, using this method to seduce me, huh!"

As Caleb removed her clothes one by one, unprecedented helplessness and terror caused Serena to shed tears.

"Haven’t touched you for so long, hope you won’t disappoint me."

Caleb gently kissed away her tears with the tip of his tongue, yet his hands left red marks on her wrists.

...

After a buoyant night, Caleb got up quite early in the morning and had Mr. Miller bring over a new suit.

Mr. Miller never asked unnecessary questions; after delivering the suit, he returned to the car to wait.

When Caleb was dressed, Serena still hadn’t woken up.

He glanced at Serena with the corner of his eye; her eyes were still swollen in sleep.

Last night was the first time Caleb had seen Serena cry so intensely in the many years he’d known her.

As he moved, Serena cried.

The mood at that time was high, yet after the passion cooled, Caleb felt Serena crying like that had no meaning.

It wasn’t the first time...

Caleb’s chiseled face appeared just as cold as a sculpture.

Casually mumbling "so pretentious," he left Serena’s home.

In the afternoon, the originally bright sunny sky turned cloudy and overcast.

When Serena awoke, her mind was blank as though she had been blackout drunk.

The intense stimuli from last night gradually revived her memories.

Her nose tingled, and her eyes became wet again.

She had slept with Caleb.

Although she was forced, the two of them still had relations.

The most fatal thing was...

She still had feelings for him.

Serena ruffled her hair in frustration, wanting to throw a tantrum but couldn’t.

Suddenly she remembered something, grabbed her phone, and glanced at the time.

It was already one in the afternoon!

The phone showed Peter had called her thirty-two times and sent countless WeChat messages.

Serena quickly called him back to explain.

Originally, Peter planned to hold a press conference in the morning to clear up allegations of plagiarism against Serena.

Heather Monroe accused Serena of plagiarizing the treble clef element from the Piano Series while designing jewelry for "Surprise Life."

In other words, it was Serena plagiarizing herself.

However, using the treble clef element in design wasn’t an original or exclusive feature of the Piano Series.

Simply based on this, claiming plagiarism against Serena was fundamentally unfounded.

But the other side was obviously prepared, using internet trolls to stir up fan wars. Peter thought the quickest and most effective way to prove innocence was for Serena to admit she was the mastermind behind the Piano Series design.

If possible, Serena had no intention of ever revealing herself.

But now she had no other choice, so she agreed with Peter’s suggestion.

And then Caleb ruined it!

Peter didn’t blame Serena, but this made Serena feel more guilty, and her anger towards Caleb increased.
