QT: Against My Will

Chapter 413



413 7.37 – Victor Egerton Found A New One – War Of The Wickeds

Checking out the beta men around the table, Elera found nobody to her taste and decided to leave instead. They all lied to her. Time was money. When did she, the CEO of the LW, have to attend a blind date to get a man? Oh, no thank you. She was not that desperate.

Elera turned around, feeling a strong stare at her back. There, at a corner sat a man, surrounded by a dangerous aura that could lure people into his trap like a carnivorous plant. His lustrous dark red hair grew a bit longer, highlighting his prominent jaw. His eyes were rather impassive tonight, void of any emotions.

Victor sent his lackey to invite Elera to his table, “Tell her the bill will be on me today.”

Everyone was shocked when their master suddenly sent away all the women surrounding him and put on an unapproachable demeanour out of the sudden. It seemed like Victor Egerton had chosen a new one.

Free drinks? Elera estimated the amount of money she had in her bank account, then immediately sat on the couch opposite Victor and ordered the most expensive thing: a freshly squeezed pineapple juice shamelessly. She was never ever going to get drunk before a stranger again.

It seemed like after she met that blue-eyed foreigner, only bad luck followed her. Ignoring all the hateful gazes from the females, she wondered what the young master had been doing all this time, murmuring to herself, “If I didn’t see your face, I would have mistaken you with a juicy piece of Kobe steak from the way everyone is salivating over you.”

Victor raised his eyebrow at her flirtatious little mouth, “Kobe steak?”

“Eh? No... I mean...” Elera realised that she had made a slip of the tongue. This world didn’t have Kobe steak, “...that’s how I named my favourite steak recipe.”

He sent a taunting gaze at the way she lied through her teeth shamelessly, keeping her dignified composure with how she drank her juice elegantly. It seemed like he got the pleasure to meet another great actress. Midway through her drink, she excused herself into the restroom.

.....

At this point, Victor was becoming unfazed by the fact that some citizens in this world were definitely built differently. There was not only one person who put no importance on his existence, but four (Riley, Silvia, Elera, and Ezikiel).

He thought he would give Ezikiel a try. There was a certain charm in saving little innocent bunnies, but Victor couldn’t find that boy attractive at all no matter how beautiful Ezikiel looked – repulsive would be a more correct term to describe it. Finding it strange, he listened to his instincts and put Ezikiel on the list of people he had to screen out.

Just as Elera exited the bathroom, she pumped into a strong, muscular chest. She looked up to see a handsome face with a pair of striking eyes and smirked, “I wouldn’t mind stumbling upon such a handsome wall of muscles more often.”

He lifted her chin to get a better view of her confident face, “Let’s see if you will change your mind once you get to know what follows next.”

She put her pointer at her lips in contemplation, her eyes curving into crescent moons, “Me, bringing a new puppy... home?”

He swallowed a mouthful when she showed him a triumphant smirk as if she expected him to follow after her. The best was to be left for last they say, and he could only agree. She was a domineering woman, strong willed and unbending – a very rare flavour, which he would make sure to savour very slowly.

Elera saw how he was feasting his eyes on her body, but instead of feeling harassed, she let him watch. She stood still, showing a proud smirk from the way she was making him feel, “Does it hurt your ego to know that a simple girl like me considers the greatest alpha as only a cute little pup?”

Victor was caught silent by her words. It’s been a while since he conversed with a woman, who carried herself with an outstanding wit such as this Elera Mai. He was not able to counter her words on time because right then, she took a step forward and pressed her lips against his, increasing the pulse in his veins.

Elera Mai never found anybody who was good enough for her. ‘Never lower your standards for anyone because you are worth as much as your standards.’

If she always went by her life motto, she would never find anyone, and it was fine. At least let her taste the forbidden fruit for once. She was sure there didn’t exist a better candidate than Victor Egerton. If someone was to take her virginity, she wanted it to be him.

On the outside, he was a playboy, but deep down, she knew he never truly went all the way with anyone. Even when he was with Riley, it felt like he was never serious by the way how he always gave her secret side glances.

Elera didn’t realize it herself, but there was a feeling that was hidden deep within her heart: She felt like she could change the villain like how the female leads would do in the novels.

When the girl tiptoed to put more pressure on his lips, he willingly lowered his head, kissing her back with equal ardour. Her confidence was unfeigned, that was a sure thing.

Victor intentionally started to treat her differently than the rest, in the hope that this Elera Mai would trap him under her claws for long enough, or at least until they graduated.

The more worlds he visited, the more people he would meet. Sometimes he would stumble upon people that were ‘better’ than his lovers. Victor was in a relationship with many incredible partners. Some of them even gave birth to his children, but nothing could make him stay loyal and loving towards one soul forever.
