**Chapter 335 Pay Me Back Tonight**<\/p>\n
**Deanna\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
As I sat there, my gaze was fixed on Luis, every fiber of my being attuned to him. I searched for even the slightest flicker of emotion on his face, but he remained an impenetrable fortress, his expression unyielding.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna,\u201d he began, his voice steady and unshakeable, \u201cwhen she picked up that knife with the intention to stab you, it felt as if that very blade was piercing my heart as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, his words flowing like a river of truth, \u201cI gave her a chance, but stubbornness can be a heavy chain to bear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s hands were busy, gently feeding me spoonfuls of rich lobster bisque, and before I could fully grasp what was happening, the bowl was empty, as if it had vanished into thin air.<\/p>\n
He set the bowl down with a soft clink, then lifted my chin with a tender yet firm gesture. I had no choice but to meet the depth of his dark, intense gaze, which felt like an abyss pulling me in.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna,\u201d he said, his tone a blend of gentleness and gravity, \u201cremember this: no one has the right to bully you. Not even me.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words wrapped around me like a warm blanket, comforting yet empowering. \u201cHonestly, I felt a surge of pride earlier. You\u2019re starting to learn how to fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n
A thrill of determination coursed through me at his words. \u201cA person only stops being afraid when they find their strength. I want you to become a brave woman\u2014not because I won\u2019t protect you, but because I want you to chase your happiness without fear.\u201d<\/p>\n
In that moment, as I gazed into his unwavering eyes, it was as if they were whispering a promise: \u201cBe bold, Deanna. I will always stand behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart swelled, and I felt a warmth rise in my cheeks, a tightness in my throat that made it difficult to articulate my feelings. It was as if a thousand unspoken words were trapped within me.<\/p>\n
No one had ever spoken to me in such a way before, and the kindness in his voice seemed to erase all the darkness of my past.<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s long fingers brushed against my cheek, his voice dropping to a tender murmur. \u201cYou know, pregnant women shouldn\u2019t cry so much. That\u2019s not why I said all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned my head away, my stubbornness flaring. \u201cI\u2019m not crying.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis chuckled softly, a sound that warmed the room. \u201cAlright, alright. It seems I may have misjudged the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
His fingertip danced over my lips, igniting a spark within me. \u201cDeanna, I want to hear you call me that again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.<\/p>\n
A mischievous smile played on his lips, a curve that made my heart race. He leaned closer, his nose brushing against mine, the scent of pine and his Alpha aura enveloping me, causing my heart to skip a beat. \u201cWhat did you call me earlier, hmm?\u201d<\/p>\n
I paused, the word \u201cDarling\u201d echoing in my mind, and my cheeks flushed a deep crimson. I had only used that word to provoke him!<\/p>\n
As he spoke, my phone buzzed on the table, a distraction that pulled my attention away.<\/p>\n
I glanced at the screen, and Luis\u2019s messages bombarded me like a flurry of butterflies.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, what time do you get off tonight?
\n\u201cI\u2019ll come pick you up, okay?
\n\u201cYou owe me for what you said this morning. Pay me back tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had barely begun his day, yet here he was, already checking in on me.<\/p>\n
This man was something else!<\/p>\n
A small smile crept onto my lips as my fingers danced across the screen.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Wiley? Are you listening?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ferris\u2019s voice jolted me back to reality.<\/p>\n
I quickly tucked my phone away, clearing my throat to regain my composure. \u201cRight. Let\u2019s proceed with your plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ferris froze, his expression one of utter disbelief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2417","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
