Chapter 7

Brayden looked grim. However, his friends continued to heckle him without noticing the change in his expression. "I'm surprised. Brayden has an impressive girth. I'm sure that he's more than enough to satiate Lindsay!" "You don't get it. Lindsay is obviously looking at other men because she's not getting any at home!" Amid their raucous laughter, Brayden walked up to Lindsay. "Who is he?" There was no trace of emotion in his voice. Lindsay looked impassive. "None of your business." Brayden's anger was ignited at once. He pinched her chin and leaned in threateningly. "Lindsay." He sneered. "Can't you survive without men?" Lindsay was numb to the humiliation, but Marcel tried to explain in a panic, "No, Lindsay and I are actually—" However, Lindsay cut him off. "Yes." She looked up, smiling. "It's your fault for being unable to satisfy me as a husband. If I didn't go looking for other men, I would explode from frustration." Dead silence fell in the corridor at once. Brayden's friends stared at Lindsay in disbelief. They all knew that Brayden never touched Lindsay, but they had always thought she was devoted to him. They had only been joking around to humiliate her. None of them actually thought that she would betray Brayden. The final trace of warmth left Brayden's expression. "What did you say, Lindsay?" Lindsay flashed him a sunny smile. "Am I wrong? Since you can't satisfy me, what's wrong with me looking elsewhere—" Before she could finish, she broke off with a shriek. Brayden suddenly swung her over his shoulder and walked out without saying another word. He tossed her into the car, and the driver quickly realized that something was wrong and got out quickly. The door closed, leaving only Lindsay and Brayden in the enclosed space. Brayden held her down, making her feel suffocated. Lindsay finally panicked. "What are you doing, Brayden?" Brayden sneered and pulled his tie off. "Didn't you say I didn't satisfy you? Fine. I'll grant your wish!" He kissed her aggressively. It wasn't the first time Lindsay and Brayden had kissed. They had done so before getting married. However, he hadn't kissed her since. When Brayden felt the touch of Lindsay's lips on his after so long, he suddenly felt dazed. He had almost forgotten how she felt. She tasted sweet, and her lips were so soft that he actually felt himself losing focus. He flipped her over fiercely and forced her to contort into a suggestive position. Lindsay felt something hot against her. She was about to scream in protest when, at that moment, Brayden's phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he paused and answered it at once. "What?" His expression changed instantly. "Scarlett's in the emergency room?"
