An Understated Dominance - Chapter 300

Inside the presidential suite, Florence helped Dahlia onto the bed and took off her shoes. Then, she went to get a basin of warm water to clean Dahlia.

“Mom, I feel awful. I need some water,” Dahlia said weakly, feeling very thirsty.

“Water won’t help. I’ll get you some milk. Just wait here,” Florence said, trying to sound calm as she quickly left the room. She bumped into Luis right away.

“How’s Dahlia doing, Mrs. Nicholson?” Luis asked.

“She’s fine. A good night’s sleep will fix her right up,” Florence replied with a smile.

“Where are you going, Mrs. Nicholson?” Luis asked again.

“I’m getting her some milk for her stomach ache,” Florence explained.

“I see…” Luis said, a knowing smile on his face. “But there’s no place nearby that sells milk, so you might have to look further. You could be gone for a while.”

“Are you sure? I thought I saw a grocery store downstairs,” Florence said, feeling a little unsure.

“Are you questioning me?” Luis’s smile vanished, replaced by a cold, threatening look.

“N-no, of course not. I’ll come back later,” Florence said quickly, trying to keep her composure.

“Good,” Luis said, his smile returning as he watched Florence leave. Once she was gone, he opened the door and stepped inside.

“How did you get the milk so fast, Mom?” Dahlia asked weakly from the bed.

“Your mother isn’t coming back anytime soon, so I’ll be taking care of you,” Luis replied.

“Mr. Langford? What are you doing here?” Dahlia’s expression changed to worry. “Where’s my mom?”

“She went to get you some milk, of course,” Luis said, beginning to take off his clothes.

“What are you doing, Mr. Langford?” Dahlia asked, panic rising in her voice.

“What do you think happens when a man and a woman are left alone in a room?” he sneered, removing his tie and looking at her with intent.

“Don’t mess with me, Mr. Langford! I’m not that kind of person!” Dahlia yelled.

Luis smirked. “We’ll be engaged in a few days and married soon, so what’s the difference? I promise you luxury if you please me tonight.”

“No! You’re not touching me until we’re married!” Dahlia stood her ground firmly.

“That’ll take too long. You’re going to satisfy me right now!” Luis lunged forward, tearing at her clothes like a wild animal.

“Go away!” Dahlia fought back with all her strength. She kicked Luis hard in the groin, and he doubled over, groaning in pain. “Are you alright, Mr. Langford?” she asked, alarmed. She didn’t want to hurt him seriously.

“You bitch!” Luis shouted, furious. He slapped Dahlia across the face, causing her to stagger and fall to the floor. “No woman has ever rejected me or kicked me. How dare you!”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Langford. I didn’t mean to do that,” Dahlia said, shaking her head in disbelief.

“Shut up! If you don’t want something to happen to your brother, you better kneel and beg for forgiveness!” he threatened.

“You’re crossing the line, Mr. Langford!” Dahlia snapped back, standing up defiantly.
