As the memory dissipated, Jarrod held the back of Nicole's neck and grimly said, “Lying to me comes with a price, Nicole.

With that, he bit on her lips.

Jarrod bit Nicole's lips so hard that they instantly bled. It was as if it was one of his ways to vent his anger.

Nicole was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. But she couldn't tell exactly where it hurt the most. Her waist, hands, and lips were all sore.

But Jarrod was not done yet. As if he had not vented enough, he rubbed Nicole's lips with his hand after biting them to widen the wound. He was obviously torturing her.

It hurt like hell. Nicole hissed in pain, but she didn't dare to dodge. After all, even if she did, Jarrod still had other ways to torture her.

Jarrod looked at Nicole's blood on his thumb and asked playfully, "Does it hurt?"

Nicole nodded obediently. She knew that by giving in to Jarrod, she and the Lawrence family would suffer less.

She was like a frog in boiling water in Jarrod's hands. Jarrod dealt with the Lawrence family depending on his mood. Sometimes, he let go of them. But most of the time, he kept pressuring them.

If Nicole pleased Jarrod, the Lawrence family could take a breather, and her father's condition would improve.

But if she pissed him off, he might vent his anger on the Lawrence family.

Nicole couldn't help blaming herself. She felt she was too stupid just now. She shouldn't have confronted and angered Jarrod.

So, all she could do now was to be patient and wait until Jarrod married Jamie. She believed that Jarrod would attach great importance to Jamie. Naturally, he would restrain himself not to act as recklessly as this. By then, it would be easier for her to get away from him.

This thought gave Nicole a glimmer of hope. But it was only Later that she realized that she was really wrong.

She made a big mistake in thinking that Jarrod would behave himself after his marriage. He had already become a monster in a man's body.

While staring at Nicole's bleeding lips, Jarrod somehow got aroused.

He pinched her chin hard and forced her to raise her head. Then he lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips. But instead of barging into her mouth, he sucked the wound on her lips over and over again.

When he felt her tremble in pain, an indescribable pleasure surged in his heart.

After the long and deep kiss, her blood dyed his lips red.

Jarrod stared at Nicole's lips. Instead of feeling sorry for her, he found her particularly coquettish.
