My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul Chapter 919

The pen, pressed against Christopher's hand, struck an acupuncture point. Skylar immediately felt dizzy, her strength draining away. She couldn't let him touch her.

His face contorted in pain as blood welled from his hand. Seeing Skylar slumped near the bed, barely conscious, it was clear the effort had nearly exhausted her.

"You've crossed a line," he said, his patience fraying. "You've never done this before. Look at my hand—it's bleeding, and it hurts. Babe, just cooperate. I promise I won't hurt you again. Be a good girl."

Skylar remained motionless, her eyes closed.

When she didn't respond, Christopher assumed she'd given in. He swiftly lifted her into his arms.

Skylar felt utterly helpless. She struggled, but her movements were weak, almost imperceptible.

"You'll regret this," she whispered, her voice strained.

Christopher was momentarily startled by her cold, hateful gaze, but greed quickly consumed him. "If I don't do this, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. You were always meant to be mine."

He yanked off her jacket and began to unfasten her pants. Just as he pulled them down to her knees, the doorbell rang—an incessant ringing that felt like a death knell.

His eyes were bloodshot; he was teetering on the edge of losing control. He tried to ignore it, but the persistent knocking, followed by the sound of someone trying to unlock the door, made him hesitate. This apartment had been burgled before. He glanced at Skylar—pale and furious—and felt a jolt of fear. He couldn't explain it, but quickly dismissed it as paranoia. Even if Joe were skilled, he couldn't possibly have found this place.

"I'll see who's stupid enough to break in," he muttered, striding to the door, unclothed. He peered through the peephole, but it was blocked. Frowning, he yelled, "Someone's here! Wrong place? Leave now or I'll call the police!"

After threatening the unknown visitor, Christopher returned. Skylar was trying to crawl away. He frowned and snapped, "Stop struggling! What's the point? Do you hate being close to me that much? Didn't you always say you loved me? I remember asking if you'd ever fall for anyone else. You swore you'd only love me, that no one else would ever have your heart. And now, you won't even let me touch you."

He leaned in to kiss her. She turned her head, her eyes filled with hatred. "Christopher, you'll regret this."

He gripped her face, forcing her to look at him. His voice trembled with a manic intensity. "Beg me, Skylar. Beg me to be with you."

Then, there was a loud bang.
