30 Days of Passion and Revenge-Chapter 44: Unyielding Embrace

Lily struggled against Ethan’s unyielding embrace, his lips relentlessly claiming hers despite her protests. The old doctor’s momentary distraction as he reached for his scissors gave Ethan the perfect opportunity to deepen the kiss, his hand boldly caressing her soft curves.

"You... let me go," Lily whispered harshly, mindful of the doctor’s presence.

But Ethan paid no heed, his fervent kisses trailing down her bare shoulder, leaving a crimson mark in their wake.

"Please, don’t do this..." Lily pleaded, acutely aware of the heat building between Ethan’s legs as she perched on his lap. "What a shameless beast!" she thought, blushing furiously. "Does he have no understanding of propriety?"

Ethan’s expression grew colder with each passing moment, his kisses becoming more forceful. "Let go... Don’t do this..." The words echoed in his mind, fueling his anger. He had searched tirelessly for her, mobilizing the city’s police force, yet she dared to reject his advances.

"Very well," Ethan uttered icily, gripping Lily’s chin and capturing her lips in a brutal, punishing kiss. The taste of blood mingled with their shared breaths as he ravaged her mouth, his hand sliding down to her knee.

With a swift, painful motion, Ethan tore the blood-soaked stockings from Lily’s wounds, eliciting a cry of agony from her pale lips. "This devil!" she cursed inwardly, her body going limp against his chest.

Ethan quickly removed the blood-soaked stockings from Lily’s wounds, causing her to cry out in pain. She cursed him silently, her body going limp against him. "Thank you," Lily whispered, realizing his intense kisses had distracted her from the pain of removing the fabric.

"What?" Ethan asked coldly.

"I said thank you!" Lily repeated, louder this time. Despite his rough approach, she knew she needed to thank him for saving her from the detention room.

"Hmph," Ethan snorted dismissively, ignoring her gratitude.

After a thorough medical check-up, Ethan carried a tired Lily into the Blackwood family villa and placed her on a comfortable bed. As she drifted off to sleep, she felt something cold on her wrist that woke her up.

"What is this?" Lily struggled to focus her bleary eyes on the diamond-encrusted handcuffs binding her to the bed.

Ethan stood before her with a smirk, playing with the chain. "Awake now, are you?"

"What are you doing?" Lily sat up in a panic, tugging at the restraints.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Ethan sneered. "I’m keeping you here until you’ve fully recovered. You’re not leaving this villa." Fear and anger raced through Lily as she realized the situation.

"Ethan, you’re despicable! You’re nothing but a cruel man!" she exclaimed angrily. But Ethan ignored her protests and pinned her down before kissing her aggressively.

Ethan’s eyes flashed with a dangerous intensity as he tore off his shirt, revealing a chiseled chest that left Lily breathless. With a primal growl, he pressed his body against hers, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss that encompassed both desire and dominance.

As Ethan’s lips descended on her neck, a trail of heated kisses that seared her skin, Lily stiffened. The sharp nip of his teeth against the tender flesh elicited an involuntary gasp from her. He continued his assault, tracing a path with his tongue along her collarbone and descending further to the swell of her breasts.

"No!" Lily protested, turning away in revulsion. But Ethan was relentless. His hand tangled in her hair, yanking her face back towards him and silencing her protests with a forceful kiss.

Lily was trapped in a nightmare as she felt the fabric of her dress being torn away. Ethan claimed her body without any semblance of mercy or tenderness. She bit down hard on her lip, refusing to give him the satisfaction of hearing her cry out in pain. Her fingers curled into fists against the silk sheets beneath them as she endured the silent agony.

"Ethan," she whispered through clenched teeth stained with blood, "you’re not human."

Ethan merely chuckled at this accusation before he resumed his cruel actions. His lips and teeth left marks on her skin - reminders of his brutal possession that would linger long after he had finished with her.

But Lily refused to be broken so easily. Even amidst the tears streaming down her cheeks and the hurt echoing through every part of her body, she found strength within herself.

"You’re shameless! Vulgar! A pervert!" she spat out between sobs.

When Ethan finally pulled away from her, leaving Lily numb and violated under him, she could only stare blankly at the ornate ceiling above them. The remnants of their encounter were a stark reminder of what had transpired between them - a testament to how powerless she was against him.

"I need... I need to take a bath," Lily murmured weakly, desperate to cleanse herself from his touch.

Ethan’s smirk was cruel. "You have two options, Lily," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. "Either I wash you or the nanny does."

Lily’s eyes blazed with intense hatred that could have set him ablaze. "You’re despicable!" she hissed, forcing herself to stand despite her trembling legs.

But her strength was fleeting, sapped away by Ethan’s relentless assault. The chain around her wrist pulled taut and spun her around before she crumpled to the floor in a heap.

"Lily!" Ethan’s shout echoed through the room as he rushed over to gather her limp form into his arms. His voice had an unfamiliar edge, something that sounded suspiciously like fear.

When Lily woke up again, the morning sun was streaming through the windows, and an IV drip was attached to her hand. She turned her head and found the nanny nearby, cutting an apple with practiced precision.

"Miss Anderson," she began cheerfully, "Mr. Blackwood had to leave for work, but he’ll return this evening. He’s very concerned about your health."

"Worried?" Lily thought bitterly as she glanced at the IV line running from her hand. He wasn’t worried about her well-being; he was only worried that she might die before he could finish torturing her.

"I’m not hungry," Lily declared flatly when the nanny offered a slice of apple.

The nanny paused, concern creeping into her voice as she looked at Lily. "Are you feeling unwell? Should I call for another doctor?"

Lily felt humiliated at being treated like an invalid when all she wanted was some semblance of normalcy amidst this chaos.

"I need... I need to use the bathroom," Lily muttered, pushing herself upright with great effort.

With the nanny’s help, Lily managed to detach herself from the IV and make her way towards the bathroom. As she closed the door behind her, she knew that this was just the beginning—the start of her confinement in this gilded cage.
