Chapter 32 You’ll Only Ever
Love Me
Suddenly, Brian’s grip tightened around Rachel’s chin, his fingers digging in just enough to hold her still.
“Rachel, if I hadn’t shown up, would you have let that intern take you home? Let him stay with you?”
Rachel was furious. How could he reduce her to this–belittle her like she meant nothing?
Her chest tightened, but she forced out a bitter laugh. “Do you even realize how cruel you are?”
He was always so gentle, so considerate when it came to Tracy.
But with her? All he ever did was find fault, as if he couldn’t stand her existence.
She let out a slow breath, her voice turning hollow. “Trey was right. If a man doesn’t love a woman, he’ll always see her as a burden.”
Brian’s expression darkened, his anger clouding over any trace of reason.
“You seem to be quite close with him now, ” His voice was razor–sharp. “Weren’t you supposed to be at the hospital with Jeffrey? You weren’t even coming tonight. What happened? Did you change your plans just for that intern?”
Rachel met his glare head–on, her chin lifting in defiance. “And if I did?”
A sudden ripping sound cut through the tension as her dress tore.
“Park the car. Get out.”
Brian’s voice was raw with fury.
Ronald didn’t hesitate–he pulled the car to a stop, got out, and disappeared into the night.
Rachel’s pulse pounded as she met Brian’s bloodshot gaze. He looked unhinged.

A knot of fear twisted in her stomach as she instinctively stepped back.
As she struggled, her hair tumbled out of place, strands falling messily over her face.
The alcohol she had consumed left a faint flush on her skin, making her look even more alluring.
His grip tightened around her waist as he pulled her firmly onto his lap.
One hand locked her wrists behind her back, the other yanking her closer until her nose
brushed against his.
In the stifling space between them, their breaths tangled, warm and uneven.
Her lips, red and inviting like ripe berries, were dangerously tempting.
His throat constricted, and without hesitation, he dipped his head, capturing her lips in
a searing kiss.
Rachel bit down hard in defiance, but he was relentless. His mouth overtook hers, his hands slipping beneath the fabric of her dress, peeling it away with unshaken resolve.
Her gaze flickered to the window, where the vast, dark wilderness stretched endlessly
beyond.
Only then did fear creep in.
“Brian, stop! I said stop!”
But he didn’t listen.
Until the very end, she sobbed, trembling, her voice breaking as she pleaded, “I’m sorry! I won’t do it again. Just… not here. Not in the car, please–okay?”
Moreover, Ronald was still outside. She truly couldn’t bear the humiliation.
Only then did Brian release her hands, his nose brushing against her neck. “Sorry? What exactly do you think you did wrong?”
Rachel clung to him, her voice shaking between sobs. “I… I shouldn’t have said those things to provoke you, and… and I shouldn’t have sung a love song with Trey.”
“And what else?”
What else? Nothing. There was nothing else!

Brian’s lips grazed her shoulder before sinking in. “Look me in the eyes and say you love me. Say you’ll only ever love me.”
“… I love you. Only you.”
She found it wasn’t fair. Brian didn’t love her–yet he kept forcing her to say she loved
him. When had he become so possessive, so controlling?
A few minutes later, Ronald returned to the car.
Rachel’s dress was nearly in tatters.
She curled up, burying herself in Brian’s suit jacket, looking small and fragile.
As they stepped out of the car, Brian scooped her into his arms. The icy wind bit at her bare legs, making her shudder violently.
“Cold?”
He pressed his cheek to hers, his voice a low murmur.
“Y–yeah.”
The moment the word left her lips, warmth suddenly wrapped around her ankles.
Before she could react, his hands cradled her feet, heat radiating from his palms.
Rachel looked at him in disbelief. “You…”
“What?”
“My feet!”
“Not just your feet, Rachel. You’re mine–all of you.”
Back home, Brian carried her straight to the bathroom.
After days without intimacy, his desire burned uncontrollably. Rachel could barely keep
- up.
From the bathroom to the bed, then back again, she clung to him, her nails raking over his broad, sculpted back.
Only when she fainted from exhaustion did he finally let her go.
By the time she woke, daylight streamed through the windows. Brian was already gone.

Her phone buzzed with a message from him. “I’m off to work.”
On her way to work, Rachel’s phone rang. Eric’s voice came through the line, saying there was progress in Jeffrey’s custody case.
“Alright, set a location. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”
“The same place as last time.”
“Okay.”
When they met, Eric’s expression was heavy with hesitation.
Rachel didn’t waste time. “Eric, just say it. Whatever it is, I can handle it.”
“As your attorney, I spoke with your father. He’s given a condition.”
“What’s the condition?”
The demand was so outrageous that even Eric, despite handling countless cases, hesitated to say it aloud.
“He claims the White family’s offer is far too low, considering you’re about to marry Mr. White. He wants a hundred million dollars, two houses, and ten luxury cars. On top of that, he’s demanding shares in the White Group.”
Rachel took a slow sip of coffee.
Unlike Eric, who looked thoroughly appalled, she remained composed.
“You’re not surprised?”
“There’s nothing surprising about it. He raised me, but only ever saw me as a cash cow -something to milk for money. Now that I’m marrying Brian, this is their once–in–a- lifetime chance to cash in. Of course, he’d ask for an outrageous amount.”
She had expected her father to make demands.
That was why she had never gone back home to discuss the wedding.
But Moira and Thorpe’s greed had surpassed even her worst expectations.
Forget the White family, she herself would never agree to those conditions.
“Is there another option besides negotiation?” Rachel asked, her voice steady.
“Yes. You can take legal action. But if you go that route, you and your father will end

up battling in court, and any remaining family ties may be permanently severed. Have you considered that?”
“There’s nothing to consider. Move forward with the lawsuit.”
No matter the cost, she had to regain custody of Jeffrey.
“Alright, I’ll move forward as you’ve decided. But even if the lawsuit goes smoothly, your father will likely take legal action to reclaim the medical expenses he covered for your brother. From what I know, the total amounts to two million.”
Rachel nodded. “Alright, I’ll figure out a way to get the money. Thank you, Eric.”
“You’re welcome.”
Rachel then went to see Brian.
The office was empty, but she hesitated briefly before calling out.
“Mr. White!”
Brian glanced up, realizing they were alone.
He motioned for her to come closer.
Rachel stepped forward, allowing him to pull her onto his lap.
“Does it still hurt? Did you get injured anywhere?” Brian asked, his voice low.
