"You were destined to be mine, and you will remain mine exclusively," he said in a husky, intense voice that sent chills down her spine. His piercing gaze, like a hawk's, captivated her as his large hand gently caressed her cheek, studying her face with tenderness. "Stay away!" she cried, attempting to push him back, but he refused to let her go. His anger was palpable, his fiery eyes drilling into hers, causing her to shrink against the wall. With a fierce display of emotion, he slammed both fists into the wall, asserting, "You belong to me." However, she refused to be manipulated so easily. She lifted her chin and declared, "I-I'm getting engaged." Meeting his darkened eyes, she saw a flicker of surprise before he licked his lips, appearing thoughtful. Briefly, she felt a glimmer of hope, but it vanished as he tightened his grip on her slender arm, dragging her forcefully towards his bed. The impact left her bouncing slightly on the mattress. "Do you truly believe you can escape with an engagement?" he taunted, his intention clear. "Tonight, I'll show you whose irresistible desire you are."
