You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Are You Afraid Of Me?

"Marina is dead? A sixteen-year-old girl was encountered with such a terrible thing. She was so young and so innocent. I can’t get it out of mind."

"I’m so sad for Stuart, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart."

"How could you be so merciless?"

Eddie’s voice trembled as she began to speak. The minute she finished, Aaron burst into laughter, as if he heard the funniest joke.

"Merciless? Me? I assume you have been protected for quite a long time. Stuart was not an innocent bystander. Why do you think this happened? Stuart has blood on his hands as well!"

"I....." Eddie was confused. She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t find any words to tell what she was feeling. It wasn’t until at that moment did Eddie realize she didn’t know Stuart at all.

In front of most people, he was a cold and proud man. Stuart could also be gentle and cared about her so much. But Eddie didn’t know about anything else in his life that went on around him.

"Did all these nobles behave in this way?" Eddie wondered. They were both beyond the acceptance of Eddie. Being with such a brutal murderer, she felt the air she was breathing smelt like blood.

Eddie thought she was going to break down. Luckily, Aaron stopped the car at the right time. As soon as she got out of the car, she started vomiting. She never got rid of the feeling in her stomach.

After a while, she raised her head and looked around. Aaron took her to the beach. Eddie knew where it was. They were here when Aaron kidnapped her last time. The L. N. Group had bought this. Therefore, besides several detecting vessels, there was no one else here.

Seeing this view, Eddie was more terrified. Marina was thrown into this ocean, here, after being raped for seven days and seven nights. Maybe, her corpse was brought here as well.

Her eyes were filled with tears. Aaron walked towards her slowly, step by step. Eddie kept stepping back to get away from him. Then she fell down on the sand. Aaron wanted to hold her. But she went crazy, trying to push him further and further away. freёwebnoѵel.com

"You’re a murderer. Don’t come near me and don’t ever touch me."

Thinking about his touch, she was terrified. Seeing this, Aaron felt regretful. Then he realized he should never have said anything to Eddie about Marina.

After all these years, he was used to telling the story in this manner. He would hide his own emotions as deeply as he could. The more he cared, the harder he would try to hide his feelings.

Eddie was innocent. She knew nothing about Marina. All this is beyond her acceptance. He stopped laughing. Aaron frowned, and his face suddenly became serious. He looked different, almost like it was filled with emotions.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Shouldn’t I be?" Eddie’s voice was trembling.

"You imprisoned me on a yacht. Didn’t you plan to murder me on that day? The same way you murdered her ten years ago?"

Eddie couldn’t help herself from shouting at him. Tears flooded her eyes and spilled down her cheeks. Aaron fell into silence.

All that could be heard at the moment was the sound of the wind and the breathing of Eddie.

"Believe it or not, I never thought once about hurting you. It never even crossed my mind."

"Does Aaron actually think I believe him. How stupid does he think I am? Not one thing that comes out of his mouth is the truth!" Eddie sneered inside. Aaron raised his head and looked at Eddie’s face. He was in so much pain from the bottom of his heart.

It was the first time that he wished someone didn’t hate him as much as Eddie did. Suddenly Aaron moved, and he sat beside her. Eddie wanted to escape, but Aaron grasped her wrist.

He pretended to be fierce, "Don’t move, or I would kill you."

Aaron thought that since Eddie was already afraid of him, then he would threaten her. That was the only way he could get her to listen to him. As Aaron expected, Eddie stopped trying to move away. She stayed beside him and didn’t say a word.

"I want to ask you some questions," Aaron sounded calm and peaceful. Without any jokes or fierceness. This was something that Eddie was unaccustomed to.

"What if I don’t want to answer..." Eddie sounded remote on the beach.

Aaron smiled. He didn’t reply to her rejection, "Why do you love Stuart? Is it because he is so powerful and wealthy?"

Hearing this, Eddie didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect that he would ask such a question. Eddie thought about it and then all of a sudden she didn’t know how to answer him.

"You are his brother. You know Stuart better than me. Stuart and I have not been together for very long."

Aaron laughed, "Actually, you are right. Since I was born, I could never win. I was always competing against him. I know that everyone believes he is more suitable to be the heir of the family, but I have no choice. I had to compete for all of it. I had no other road to take."

Aaron sounded a little unstable, but behind this hidden meaning was his loneliness. The loneliness that Eddie would never be able to understand. Seeing this, Eddie thought he was trying to deceive her, "How could such a demon be helpless?"

Eddie frowned and said in a cold tone, "These all just excuses for what you have done. If you didn’t want to do it, then why did you? Was there someone forcing you?"

"Yes, I was forced to do what I did. I didn’t want to do it. I need you to believe me?"

Aaron interrupted her. He smiled again and thought to himself, "Does Eddie believe me?"

But Eddie didn’t believe him, how could she. Aaron had done nothing but lie to her. Stuart and Aaron were born into a wealthy family. They got everything that the poor people could only dream about.

They would have no idea what suffering the lower class people went through. It was also hard for ordinary people to understand them. However, seeing the smile on Aaron’s face that looked as fragile as a piece of glass, Eddie couldn’t help herself, but feel a little pity for him.

Why? She couldn’t find the reason. Holding the true answer, Eddie took a deep breath, "Perhaps. Everyone in this world is controlled by something. So that kind of makes us the same in that sense. But there is no excuse for you to torture and murder a young girl."
