Loved Hard, Hated Harder novel

---- Chapter 14, Julian could hardly believe it. Even after everything , Bianca was still denying it. He stared at her and asked, "So, you're telling me that it only happened once. Is that right?" Caught off guard, Bianca paused, then nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, yes! Only once!" "Jules, please forgive me. I know I was wrong." Her voice cracked with desperation. "I was the victim here! I was drugged . If Nathan never drugged me, I never would have betrayed you." Effortless lies.

"Even now, you're still lying! You think I only recorded you doing it once? I recorded everything ! There's so much footage that my drive nearly ran out of space." Julian's gaze turned icier by the second. "It happened only once? Lies! All you do is lie!" The fury in his chest boiled over. Julian raised his hand and struck her across the face. The slap rang out like a gunshot. A vivid red mark instantly bloomed on. her face. Bianca did not even flinch. She clung to Julian's legs, still crying.

"I'm sorry. I really am! Hit me again! If it will make you feel better, you can beat me to death. I ---- won't fight back." Her sobbing apology was only met with cold silence from Julian. "T will not dirty my hands with you." His voice was flat. "This is your final warning. Let go, and disappear. Leave now, or I'm calling the police." "Please don't do this. Slap me, kick me-anything . Just don't leave me, please!" she begged, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"If you won't hit me, I'll do it myself!" At that, Bianca began slapping herself hard, over and over again. "T'm disgusting!" she screamed. "I'm filth! I'ma bitch! I broke my promise! I'm a monster!" After those repeated slaps, Bianca's cheeks turned scarlet .She thought the pain would make him pity her, but Julian stood motionless, watching in silence. He did not interrupt her. Her face was bloodied and swollen, a gruesome sight for all.

Only when her arms grew weak and her face turned numb from the blows did she finally stop. "Jules... do you forgive me now?" Bianca kneeled and trembled. "If not, I'll keep going until you do." Julian said nothing in response. Instead , he calmly pulled out his phone and called the police. "Jules! No, please don't!" she shrieked, scrambling to ---- her feet to grab his phone. "Don't send me away! You can't do this to me! You can't be this cruel!"
