Chapter 543 Drunken Confession Chapter 543 Drunken Confession Laura stood frozen , stunned by the words pouring out of him . Play with him ? She could never have imagined Weston Windore begging for anything , least of all this . " You must be joking , Mr. Windore . You're the one who treats people like toys . Who would dare toy with you ? " 5 Free Coins " I'm not joking . I'm deadly serious . " He tightened his arms around her . " Do whatever you want with me , but don't love another man . I can't bear it . " She shoved him away and spun to face him .

" Whether I fall for someone else is none of your concern . If you can't handle that , that's your problem , not mine . " Hooking a finger beneath his chin , she tilted his face toward the light . " You said I could do whatever I want to you , right ? " " Yes . " His eyes , glazed with drink , still burned with need . In that instant , she knew he would submit to whatever she commanded and thank her for the privilege . Laura studied the once - aloof man now seemingly willing to fall at her feet .

Back in college , she had dreamed of moments like this , yet even holding his hand had required relentless pestering . Every scrap of closeness had been her pursuit ; he had never offered the slightest hint of affection . Loving him had felt like pressing warm palms against a block of ice that refused to melt . She had told herself he was merely reserved , that time would teach him tenderness . But time had proved he wasn't unable - just unwilling . Tonight , at last , he was willing . So even a golden boy like Weston could wear such a desperate expression and speak such pleading words .

Yet the more he humbled himself now , the more she pitied the girl she once was - the girl who had loved him with her whole heart and gotten nothing in return . Back when they were fearless kids , every reckless wager and every heady rush of feeling had been nothing more than a game . Laura glanced at Weston , scorn shimmering in her eyes . " Too bad . I'm not you . I have zero interest in doing anything to you , Weston . Just because you beg for it doesn't mean I'll oblige . " Weston's chest caved with sudden weight . The sneer in her eyes sliced him open .

His voice barely rose above a hush . " You ... Do you hate me ? " Laura pondered , her head tilting . " Hate ? Not really . Disgust ? Hardly . If anything , I'd say I feel nothing in particular . " Color drained from Weston's face in a violent rush . Nothing ? No feeling at all ? That hurt worse than outright loathing . 1/2 Chapter 543 Drunken Confession +5 Free Coins Desperation burned in his words . " Don't pretend you're indifferent . That night , you pinned me down - your hands , your mouth . answered mine . The video proves it , Laura . On film , you felt plenty . " D'mn it .

He's mentioning that video again . That cursed footage had forced her into a contractual relationship with him in the first place . Brows knitting , she rubbed at her temple . " I was drunk , Weston . " Whatever pill she had swallowed earlier was dragging her eyelids toward darkness . He closed in , voice low and dangerous . " Drunk ? You think that single word wipes everything away ? " She forced her heavy lids open and stepped back two paces . " What then - prove I desire you ? Weston , at this point , why cling to this ?

I never planned to treat you like a plaything , much less the only one . I'm not some fresh graduate anymore . I'm older , busy , and finished with games . I will find a man I love who loves me back and date him properly . Then I'll marry him , have children , and build the sort of happy family you and I could never fake . So no , I can't spare time to entertain you . " She fumbled for her phone , forcing her mind awake , and scrolled until she found Harlan's number . She had to call Harlan quickly and have him haul Weston's drunken self away .

She had just hit the call button when Weston clamped his hand over hers . " Laura , I'm not killing time . I love you . " The admission startled even him ; he shook his foggy head , as if to verify the words . " Yes ... I love you , Laura . I love you . " The confession stunned Laura . Her eyes widened despite the drowsiness tugging her under . On the other end , Harlan froze , astonished that the moment he answered the call , he heard his uncle pouring out a confession .
