A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up Novel

Chapter 292 Victor didnt even look up as he said flatly , Go ahead .

Hearing that he wasnt stopping her , Ariana finally breathed a sigh of relief .

Simon helped her up as they left .

Since the height of the sofs and coffee table in the study was almost the same , Ariana had been sitting on the floor practicing her handwriting .

Now , she struggled a little trying to get up .

After Ariana and Simon left , Victor walked over to the coffee table and picked up the sheet of paper Ariana had been practicing on .

The handwriting , as expected , wasnt particularly appealing .

But the error rate ? Zero .

A faint smile appeared on Victors face .

Turning toward the door , he called out , Hunter .

Yes , Mr.

Smith ? Go buy a comfortable office chair and a proper desk .

But , I thought youve always said you dont like office furniture , Hunter replied hesitantly .

Hearing his own question , Hunter quickly realized that the desk wasnt for Victor but for Ariana .

Without another word , he promptly left to carry out the order .

Half an hour later , Ariana stood outside her apartment building .

The sky had turned completely dark .

She remembered that this was Brians work shift .

No matter how angry he might be , it was unlikely he would have stayed in the apartment all day waiting for her .

With that thought , Ariana pushed open the door to her apartment .

The moment did , she regretted it .

Sitting in the middle of the living room was Brian , his expression as icy as a glacier .

Even when Ariana had slapped him before , she had never seen such a terrifyingly cold look on his face .

The room was shrouded in darkness , illuminated only by the faint , chilly light of the moon filtering in through the windows .

The cold atmosphere made the space feel even more oppressive .

Where have you been ? Brians voice was unnervingly calm as he asked the question .

Ariana hadnt disappeared for just an hour or two , but for an entire day .

Facing his question , Ariana replied , I spent the night at Selenas house .

Why ? Do you need to micromanage this part of my life too ? Is that so ? Brian let out a cold laugh .

I spoke with Selenas father last night .

Guess what he told me ? Seeing that Brian had already done his homework , Ariana didnt bother to argue .

Brian , no matter what Ive done , I dont think it has anything to do with you .

Please stay out of my private life .

With that , she limped toward her bedroom .

But before she could get far , Brian rose from the sofa and suddenly pinned her against the wall .

The abrupt movement made Arianas expression darken instantly .

Brian ! What are you doing ? Before she could finish her sentence , Brian leaned down and bit her lips .

The sting of pain shot through her , and Arianas expression darkened .

She immediately shoved him away , but the pain in her injured arm radiated through her entire body , leaving her weak and trembling .

1/2 Chapter 292 Her movements had aggravated her wounds .

Brian Lodge ! Are you out of your mind ? Yes , I must be insane ! How else would I keep letting you lead me by the nose again and again ? As he spoke , his hand clamped around her throat , the pressure cutting off her air .

For a moment , Ariana struggled to breathe .

Let … go !
