“Get… off…” he rasped weakly, shoving at her shoulder again despite the exhaustion weighing down his body.
Bianca refused to back away. Instead, she moved even closer, clinging to him while her shaky fingers tugged impatiently at his shirt.
“It’s okay,” she whispered near his ear, her breath warm against his skin. “Just one night… you can give me that much, can’t you?”
Her breathing had already become unstable and quick.
“Once we’re together… once you finally understand how much I love you… we can finally be together.”
Bianca smiled shakily as she ran her hands over him possessively, clinging to him tighter.
“You’re already divorced,” she whispered hurriedly. “You’re not doing anything wrong.”
Elias clenched his jaw so hard it hurt, fighting against the dizziness clouding his mind. His vision kept blurring in and out while he struggled to stay conscious.
“Trust me,” Bianca continued softly near his ear. “I’ll make you happy.”
Her behavior only became more frantic after that. Her trembling fingers desperately tugged at his shirt while she forced herself closer to him again and again.
Elias struggled weakly beneath her, trying to push her away despite the heaviness dragging down his body. But his fading consciousness made it harder and harder to fight back properly anymore.
Meanwhile, Felix waited anxiously outside the hotel, standing beside the car while repeatedly glancing toward the entrance.
Ten minutes had already passed.
But Elias still hadn’t come out.
A deep frown slowly formed on Felix’s face as he pulled out his phone again and dialed Elias’s number for what was probably the third time.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
No answer.
Felix lowered the phone slowly, tension filling his face.
“What the hell should I do…?” he muttered under his breath while running a frustrated hand through his hair.
Mr. Creed had specifically told him the situation was urgent and that Bianca needed to be taken to the hospital immediately. But now neither of them was answering, and Felix had no idea what was happening upstairs.
He looked toward the towering hotel with worry in his eyes.
“I can’t just barge in there either,” he mumbled anxiously. “What if I interrupt something…?”
Still, something about the situation didn’t feel right.
Elias would never ignore repeated calls during something urgent unless there was a serious problem.
Felix hesitated for a long moment before finally pulling out his phone again. After thinking for a few seconds, he quickly dialed Amara’s number.
The call rang several times before it was finally answered.
“Felix?” Amara’s cold voice came through the phone immediately. “If it’s your boss calling, tell him I don’t want to talk to him. I already said—”
She was about to hang up, but Felix immediately interrupted her in panic.
