Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 166

"I know I cannot beat Zed, but I really want you to be my woman. As long as I have you, he definitely loses. Jean, I know I still have a place in your heart. Otherwise, you would've not cared and followed me the moment you knew that I was angry. And you even drank the wine. All those things prove that you still love me.

I know that you were just forced by your family to marry Zed. I will not let them bully you, Jean. I promise you! You just have to give yourself to me, and I will love you, take care of you and do everything just for you!" Ethan turned tender and said to Jean.

When Ethan saw that Jean couldn't fight effects of the drug anymore, he got courageous and bold. He teased and leaned his face close to her.

Jean took a deep breath and sighed.

She knew that she had to fight her drowsiness and stay sober.

Seeing Ethan put his hideous face close to her, Jean violently jabbed the piece of broken glass to her neck and warned him, "Stay away! If you take one more step forward, I will kill myself in front of you."

The cold tingling sensation brought her senses back. Then, she saw Ethan staring at her with his eyes wide opened. She thought that it was dangerous for her to stay there for even a few more seconds. So, she struggled to get back on her feet and yelled at Ethan, "If you want to die, then come here. Let's die together! I swear. I am not afraid to die this time, Ethan."

Jean pointed the broken glass at Ethan and staggered towards the door.

"Don't waste your strength, Jean. You wouldn't make it outside. And if any man see you outside, they would ask what happened to you. Would you let the men outside help you instead of me? They might hurt you even more. Just stay here."

Ethan tried to persuade her patiently.

"You beast…" Jean angrily stared at him and sneered, "I would rather be dead than to let you touch me."

"You cannot get out. I locked the door from outside when we came in. It will only be opened when the janitor comes here to clean tomorrow." Ethan remained calm while he was speaking. Then he continued, "Do you want to suffer that agony alone? Just to let you know, that drug was not ordinary. If you want, I can help you from being burned to death. If it is too late, I don't know what might happen to you."

"I have told you. I'd rather die than to let you touch me." Jean fiercely said. Her sweat was dripping on her face as she clenched her teeth with all her strength.

"You are doing it wrong, Jean! Don't try to keep yourself sober because it will use your blood. Your blood will make you alert then you will run out of control."

Ethan lasciviously stared at her.

Jean grunted. After a while, she began to agitate when she found that she was losing her grip on the glass she was holding.

What Ethan said was true.

That dirty, mean, asshole...

Jean's face showed some resolution. She lifted her heavy legs and slowly walked to the balcony.

When he realized Jean's intention, the arrogance on Ethan's face was replaced by panic. "What are you doing, Jean? Don't do anything stupid. We can talk about it. Don't do that!"

Playing someone was one thing, but killing was a different thing.

It was not worthy to suffer for the rest of his life.

"Ethan, If you take one more step forward, I will jump from here." Jean moved to the edge of the balcony, leaned on the rail and exerted a lot of effort to speak.

"Don't make things complicated, Jean." Ethan showed his anguish on his face and continued, "We are all adults. You don't have to be so devoted to him. You are loyal to Zed, but is he loyal to you? He might even be enjoying with other girls now."

"Shut up, Ethan. Not all men look at love as trash. Not all men are as low and as mean as you." Being furious made Jean breathless while she was speaking.

"Okay, fine. I will shut my mouth up. I tell you, Jean. You will cry over it someday. Just wait and see!" When he saw that Jean was agitated, Ethan had no choice but to quit his desires for her. He thought that if she would really jump, it would cause him huge consequences.

"Call the front desk and ask them to come and open the door!"

Jean, who felt that she might not be able hold on there for long, ordered Ethan while panting.

"Jean…" Ethan awkwardly looked at her and said, "It is not that I won't, but I can't."

"What do you mean?" Jean puzzlingly asked.

"I didn't reserve this room. Somebody reserved this room for me. Well, if the hotel personnel would come here, they would see you in that situation. Even if we've done nothing wrong, people will still talk about you. It would be bad for your reputation." Ethan pretended that he cared about her.

"I think you are trying to wait more time to pass by. You want to wait until I cannot hold on anymore, then you will attack me, right?

Ethan, I warn you. Call the front desk now. Or else, I'll immediately jump." After Jean said that, she climbed on the rail and balanced herself on top of it.

Ethan immediately felt dreadful that time. 'This woman is really crazy.' Ethan thought to himself.

"Okay, fine. Take it easy. I will call them now." After he finished his words, he rushed to the living room, picked the phone up and dialed the front desk.

When she saw that Ethan was already calling, Jean's heart finally got relieved.

"I've already called them. They will be here soon. You come down now." Ethan said after he hung the phone up. Still, he didn't approach her.

Jean didn't want to hang half of her body on the rail, too. So, she climbed down from the top of the rail.

"You won, Jean." That time, Jean was already very exhausted and feeble. After he saw that Jean fell on the floor, Ethan said with a bitter voice, "I thought I could force you to make love with me. Then, I would have a place back in your heart. Now, my dream will never come true."

"Ethan, you always want to make out with other woman even if she doesn't like you. You are always like that - selfish. You never think about what other people would feel. If you insisted to make love with me, you could have destroyed both of our lives. Let me tell you for the last time: It will never work for both of us."

After he said her words, Jean closed her eyes breathlessly.

She could see that Ethan still felt ashamed from what he had done.

After a while, the door was opened.

Jean immediately opened her eyes and felt surprise. Her face stiffed when she saw the person behind the door.

Ethan heard the noise but he didn't turn to look back.

He still felt shock and depressed. If it wasn't because of his stupid moves, Jean could still have treated him nicely.

Suddenly, a big fist fiercely punched his face. He staggered backward and tried to get his balance while his face was burning in pain.
