Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 4

The yellow-haired guy wrapped his arm around me and called out arrogantly, “Who the hell are you? Who are you to mess with me and my girlfriend? Let’s go home now!” He then helped me up and I naturally leaned on his shoulders. I flashed a smile when we brushed past Marlon.

During the day not too long ago, Alicia was holding arms with Marlon, and it was a sight I would never forget. At that single moment, I felt that my heart had been sliced into two, and I was seething with hatred, jealousy. I wanted to tear them apart so bad, but most importantly I wanted to tear my own stupidly loyal heart apart.

Bang!

I suddenly felt that yellow-haired guy gone from my side. I turned around and saw that Marlon was pinning him on the ground, and all the nearby chairs had toppled over too.

Although I didn’t like that yellow-haired guy at all, I still had to make sure the show is complete, so I went over in an attempt to help him up. However, due to the fact that I had emptied two bottles of red wine, the aftereffects were catching up to me. I couldn’t even walk properly, and while I was still staggering, Marlon grabbed me suddenly with enormous strength in his hands. I felt painful as I was rendered immobile by him on the spot.

“I can’t believe you dare to throw me to the ground, you damn bastard!” The yellow-haired guy struggled to get up from the floor, “I will not live up to my name if I don’t beat you to death!” As he declared that, he suddenly rushed towards Marlon.

However, in an instant, he was being kicked back to the floor again by Marlon.

The commotion had attracted the bar manager’s attention. The manager arrived at the scene with a few brawlers by his side as he said unhappily, “What the hell are you doing here? Don’t you know where is this place? How can you cause a ruckus here!” The moment the manager finished his words, he caught a glimpse of Marlon, and he immediately froze on the spot. Then, he changed his attitude and said flatteringly, “Mr. Redford, you are here!”

“You dare to land a kick on me! If I let you escape here unscathed, I would rather hand over my head to you!” The yellow-haired guy exploded with anger as he picked up a chair and was able to rush towards Marlon.

“What the hell, you fucking bastard! You even dare to offend Mr. Redford! Men, drag him out and teach him a lesson!” The manager waved his hand and the several brawlers behind him immediately went into action and surrounded the yellow-haired guy.

“He is Mr. Redford from the Marlon Group?” The yellow-haired guy’s eyes widened incredulously, and the next second, he immediately begged for his life, “Mr. Redford, I...I must be blind since I can’t recognize you. Please spare me this once!”

I couldn’t help but freeze upon hearing his title. He was Mr. Redford from the Marlon Group!

The Marlon Group was the biggest luxury company in all of Asia, and the range of products sold by the group included luxurious cars which were beloved by men; and also fashion articles, shoes, bags which were fancied by women. The reason the Marlon Group had gained such wide-spread fame was not because of the range of luxurious products available underneath its wing, it was because it only took them one year to start from scratch and develop into a huge conglomerate.

Mr. Redford was the president of the Marlon Group. His name was Marlon Redford!

I never would have thought that the man I had been sleeping with for four years was that Marlon Redford of the Marlon Group!

“Mr. Redford, I am really sorry for what has happened to you. In order to calm your nerves, I have prepared a suite for you. You can take a rest anytime!” The manager waved his hand again to signal his men to take the yellow-haired guy away.

Marlon mumbled a response before dragging me towards the elevator.

“Let me go!” I struggled with all my might and recalled that this scene was somewhat familiar compared to that night from four years ago. It was just that I was the one begging Marlon to take me away four years ago compared to me getting dragged by him now.

“Rachael, you better stop moving. Or else, you will regret forever!” Marlon’s voice was very hoarse, and it was the kind of coldness I never experienced from him. I was stunned for a moment and forgot to continue putting up my struggle. Only when Marlon had led me into a room, I almost vomited blood in exasperation. It was the same room as four years ago!

“Marlon, let me go!” Upon seeing such a familiar sight, the alcoholic aftereffects were somehow dissipated slightly.

Bang!

Marlon hurled me onto the bed rudely and then he immediately pounced on me and locked my chin in place. His eyes dark and chilly, “Rachael, are you courting death?”

As the scenes from day time replayed in my mind, I looked into Marlon’s eyes and revealed a smile, “Mr. Redford, I’m doing very well. Why do you think that I’m courting death? Is it because you are going to marry Alicia?” Then, I put on an exaggerated expression of shock and widened my eyes. I laughed mockingly, “Mr. Redford, it’s not that I like you anyone. Whoever you decide to marry with has nothing to do with me at all!”

Before I could finish my sentence, Marlon suddenly kissed me hard and his aggressiveness was akin to a beast devouring its prey. I pushed him with all my might but Marlon’s body wouldn’t even budge one inch. On the contrary, he increased his grip on my chin and kissed me even harder, and my tongue was even injured after being bitten by him. The scent of blood was filling the cavity that was my mouth. I was pretty out of breath and in great pain, but no matter what kind of struggle I put up, there was no use at all.

I began to feel nervous as I felt that I couldn’t get enough oxygen in my lungs. I even had a feeling that I was going to pass away, being kissed by Marlon so vehemently. At the thought of dying because of Marlon’s kiss, I found it amusing. Furthermore, I didn’t want to die just yet.

Marlon was someone who wouldn’t conform to a hard way but would instead succumb under some soft coaxing. If I continued to struggle against him violently, who knew that I would really die a terrible death underneath him. Therefore, I gave myself in to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. As expected, Marlon reduced his strength in his hands and body.

“I am going to suffocate!” I grabbed this chance and complained.

Marlon let go of me and stared at me coldly, “Don’t you know how to breathe using your nose?”

“No!” I answered without hesitation. In that messy situation just now, I couldn’t have come up with anything.

Marlon snorted, “Rachael, how can you act so boldly while you’re so stupid?”

“Of course I can!”

I answered him while slipping out of bed, but Marlon grabbed me and asked, “Where are you going now?”

I turned around and smiled at Marlon, “Mr. Redford, I would misunderstand that you have actually fallen for me since you’re so concerned about me. However, if my memories serve me right, in the near future, you’re going to be my brother-in-law!”

Marlon’s face instantly darkened, and his eyes which were trained at me were devoid of any warmth, “Rachael, I will never love you in all my life. If you spout some nonsense in front of Alicia again, you will suffer grave consequences!”

My heart was hurt once again by his words and I suddenly wanted to tear up again. I forced a smile and replied, “I don’t need to worry then if you would never fall for me!” I frantically wanted to get off the bed and leave this place because I would definitely cry if I continued to stay here. I told myself not to shed tears in front of Marlon. Never!

The moment my hand touched the door knob, Marlon grabbed me and shoved me into the bathroom, “You reek of the smell of other man, so you better wash yourself and get rid of those smell!”

I really wanted to cry so badly but I could only reply with a smile, “Mr. Redford, it’s not appropriate for us to stay in one room, and to make things worse do I need to bath in front of you? If your fiancée learn of this fact, what do you think would happen?”

Marlon only barked at me disdainfully, “Rachael, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. With the way you look, I would never get aroused. You are thinking too highly of yourself!”

Marlon finished his sentence and shut the door behind him.

I looked downwards at my own body and tears started to fall again. He was right, I didn’t have the figure nor the looks. Compared to Alicia, I was far inferior. There was no way Marlon would be interested in me.

My heart felt so painful. It hurt so much.

If I had known that my meeting with Marlon that day a long time ago would cause me so much anguish now, I would rather prefer not getting to know him in the first place.

I didn’t want Marlon to know that I was crying, so I turned on the shower and let the water splatter all over my body. However, the longer I cried, the dizzier I became as the alcoholic aftereffects were still messing with my brain. I felt so dizzy and lethargic that I could no longer stand still. I let myself lie down against the bathtub.

“Rachael, are you planning to just live in the bathroom forever?” Marlon suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

“Why...why did you come in here?” My consciousness was a total mess and I could see that there was two Marlons in my field of vision. I wanted to urge him to leave, but the moment I moved my muscles, I slipped into the water in the bathtub.

Marlon scooped me up from the water and my nose caught a whiff of his scent that only belonged to him. I reached out and caressed this man that was just inches away. Although my mind was shutting down soon, there was a great grief in my heart. I pouted my lips and wrapped myself around his neck and planted a kiss on his face. Then, I pushed him away once again.

“What the hell are you doing?” There was a hint of anger in his voice but I only smiled at Marlon in response. I would never know that my clothes were now sticking to my body and they were bringing out my figure perfectly. This was summer attire, and after it was soaked in water, the fabric somehow became semi-transparent.
