Eric Candi's gaze suddenly turned cold. He raised his hand and clamped down on Aldana Candi's jaw, pinning her against the wall, lifting her chin, and forcefully biting her lips.
Aldana's eyes were filled with cold light. She turned her head away, pushed him away with a shove, and then swung her hand to slap Eric hard across the face.
"Smack!"
The loud sound of the slap echoed in the small room.
"Eric," she said through clenched teeth, her eyes red, "I'm not Ellen. Take a good look. I'm not a tool for you to reminisce about her. You can't keep using my affection for you as an excuse to degrade me!"
"Degrade?" He squinted and sneered, "Who was the one who climbed into my bed? You threw yourself at me back then, and now you blame me for degrading you?"
Aldana shook her head, feeling somewhat disheartened by the topic.
