Chapter 314 His Plea
Stefan's demeanor appeared distant, with a slight smirk forming at the edge of his lips. "Mr. Dixon, people can indulge in their fantasies, but it is unwise to constantly dwell in illusions. Since Raegan is not currently in a relationship, I am free to pursue her. What gives you the right to claim that I've stolen your woman? It appears to be merely your own unfounded presumption, not hers."
Mitchel's face turned a deep red, his fury palpable in the air. He grabbed Stefan by the collar and shouted, "I don't care how arrogant you are elsewhere, but you're now on my territory and you won't be able to take Raegan away from me!"
Mitchel's fury clouded his mind, and he had the sudden urge to rip Stefan apart with his bare hands.
The oppressive aura around Mitchel made Raegan uncomfortable, and she quickly tugged at Mitchel's arm, afraid he would do something drastic. "Mitchel, snap out of it! If you dare harm him, I will never forgive you!"
Raegan's protective instinct hit Mitchel's heart like a poisoned knife. The pain was almost unbearable, but it also had the dual effect of intensifying his anger.
A reckless, deranged laugh burst out of Mitchel's mouth. "If you think you can get rid of me so easily, you have another thing coming! Be it in this life or the next, you will always be mine!"
The incensed light in Mitchel's eyes convinced Raegan that he had completely lost it.
However, what happened next left Raegan even more astonished.
Mitchel opened his robe, revealing his well-muscled, alluring chest and abdomen. He pointed at the hickeys on his skin, a vicious sneer twisting his features. "Is this what you meant by not wanting to get involved with me? I also have recordings. Would you like to hear them?"
Raegan's ears turned hot, and soon, her heart sank as well. She couldn't believe she actually had sex with him.
As she gazed at Mitchel's handsome features, a wave of fury washed over Raegan.
"Whack!" A ringing sound echoed around the room as Raegan's palm connected with Mitchel's cheek.
Slapping him did little to quell Raegan's anger. Furious, she growled at him. "Shame on you! You knew very well what was going on with me. Yet, you still took advantage of me! You filthy asshole!"
Mitchel was momentarily stunned. He registered the slap on his face, but the deep ache in his chest was something he couldn't stand.
Mitchel masked the aching in his heart and met Raegan's gaze with apathy, his mouth twitching slightly. "Scold me as you wish if it can bring you back to my side."
Raegan was speechless. She cursed, "You're crazy!"
"You may think of me as a lunatic, but I'm a lunatic who loves you. As long as you come back to me, I'll do anything you want. I will promise you everything. Tell me, what do you really want? Do you want my life, Raegan? Take it then..." Mitchel was on the verge of babbling, his words jumbled and unclear.
His emotions were so overwhelming that he just needed to talk, no matter what came out.
Everything Mitchel had kept bottled up in his chest, he let out now without restraint. He didn't care about his dignity which was in tatters by now. The only thing he regretted was not telling her everything in his heart before.
Mitchel also regretted realizing his true feelings only after losing her. He loved her more than he loved his own life. The idea of her marrying someone else and spending the rest of her life with another man was unbearable to him. Just thinking of it was enough to shrivel his heart until it was nothing but dust.
Raegan was taken aback by Mitchel's unexpected admission. She stood in silence, unable to find the words to respond. She was not quite familiar with him after her loss of memory of him, but his words broke her heart for a reason she couldn't discern.
Raegan didn't dare utter a word, afraid that the dam holding her tears back would burst if she opened her mouth. She had no idea why this was happening. Was it possible that deep down, she still cared about Mitchel?
Suddenly, Raegan felt a splitting headache, and her body began to tremble slightly.
Thankfully, Stefan was observant and reached out to catch her arm before she could fall to the ground.
Raegan managed to snap out of it and sternly warned herself not to be swayed by her emotions. When she heard Erick describe how Mitchel had treated her before, she swore never to forgive him for as long as she breathed!C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
With a steely gaze, she faced the heartbroken Mitchel and uttered coldly, "Mitchel, I don't love you and don't want to be with you. It would be best if you don't bother me anymore!"
Her words tore Mitchel's heart into shreds. His handsome face was chalk white, defeated and downcast. He appeared nothing like his usual untouchable self.
His voice lowered, but the intensity in his tone made it clear he didn't care about his dignity. "Raegan, you wanted fairness from me, but are you being fair to me?" She had promised to treat him fairly! However, she appeared to be wielding a sword and pointing it in his direction, while he was completely unharmed.
Raegan's heart was in chaos. She just wanted to put an end to. this messy relationship as quickly as possible. "Do you think it's possible for someone you've hurt to be fair to you?" she asked.
These words seemed to be the final nail in Mitchel's coffin. His heart, already riddled with pain, sank as he stumbled backward.
A loud sound echoed in the room. Before Raegan's and Stefan's eyes, Mitchel's legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
Shoulders hunched, Mitchel looked up at Raegan with bloodshot eyes and pleaded, "Raegan, please be fair to me. I beg you. Just be fair to me."
Mitchel let go of his previous air of arrogance and embraced humility with utmost sincerity.
Raegan felt as if her heart was filled with cotton. All the air in her lungs had been squeezed out, making her feel suffocated. She had never seen Mitchel so humble before.
It was hard for Raegan to picture Mitchel, who exuded immense pride and arrogance, stooping to such a low level just for her. She had no idea what to say to him. But she knew she should stay away from him. She couldn't give him the fairness he desired!
Right then, there was a knock on the door. Soon, the door opened and two people dressed in police uniforms walked in, flashing their badges as they announced, "We've received a report of indecent behavior taking place here."
The policemen looked at Mitchel and Stefan in the room before turning to Raegan. "Are you the one who made the report?"
"Yes."
"Who is the person who committed the indecent acts against you?"
Raegan stared at Mitchel for a few seconds and then calmly said, "It was him."
Mitchel couldn't believe her words. It felt as if countless arrows had just pierced through his skin. His body went numb and he could do nothing but gape at her.
But his self-preservation suddenly kicked in and his slouched form straightened. He really wanted to see if she was as indifferent toward him as she claimed. He simply couldn't believe she no longer cared for him.
But at the same time, he had no choice but to believe it. There had always been a sparkle in her eyes, but now when he looked at her, there was nothing but coldness.
Despite Mitchel's unassuming appearance, the policemen questioned Mitchel straightforwardly, "Sir, do you admit to the allegations made by this young lady?"
Mitchel felt as if someone had reached into his body and pulled out all his organs. He was an empty shell, and he had no reason to defend himself, not even when the policemen queried him repeatedly.
Seeing this, the policeman turned to Raegan and asked, "Are you two a couple? Did you two have a fight?"
Raegan vehemently denied, "No, we're not together. I was drugged at a dinner party last night and everything is hazy."
The policeman gave a small nod. "Okay, I need both of you to come with me to the station for further questioning."
Stefan, concerned about Raegan, followed closely behind.
The three of them arrived at the police station.
Mitchel's expression remained cold and he continued to remain silent despite the barrage of questions.
After Raegan had completed her statement, she was taken for a medical examination.
Stefan suddenly stopped her before she could get into the exam room. "Raegan, regardless of the outcome, my decision remains the same. I meant what I said earlier. I've even asked Erick for permission. He said that he has no problem with it as long as you are willing to be with me."
Stefan was saying this to reassure Raegan. In other words, Stefan just told her that he didn't care about.the result of the examination.
Raegan was silent. She had thought that he only made up the story of them being in a relationship to get Mitchel to back off, but it turned out that Stefan really wanted to be with her.
But for some reason, she always found herself thinking of Mitchel. Perhaps, the image of Mitchel falling down when overwhelmed by emotion was so deeply entrenched in her mind that it had a strong impact on her.
Just as Raegan was about to open her mouth, the doctor's voice called out for her to enter the room.
Stefan reassured her, "Don't worry. I'll be right outside."
Raegan was a bit absent-minded when the doctor went through all the examination procedures.
The result was out shortly. Shocked beyond words, Raegan held the test results her hand, feeling numb.
There was nothing wrong with her, not the slightest hint that she had been sexuality assaulted. This meant that she had wronged Mitchel.
Before Raegan could even dwell on the situation, a policeman approached Raegan, a grim expression on his face. "Miss, someone has accused you of a crime. Please cooperate with our investigation."
