"No! Let me go!" Xylia pleaded desperately.
Aciel only smirked.
"You like me, don't you?"
Xylia froze in shock.
She never expected Aciel to realize her feelings so easily.
Seeing her reaction, Aciel's smirk deepened.
"Since you like me," he said arrogantly, "I'll allow you to become my girlfriend if you satisfy me."
His silver eyes darkened.
"You should feel honored. Most women beg me to sleep with them."
SLAP!
The sound of Xylia's palm striking his face echoed sharply throughout the penthouse.
Aciel's head turned slightly from the impact.
Meanwhile, Xylia trembled with anger.
How could he treat her feelings so cheaply?
How could he look down on her like that?
"You're an asshole!" she yelled furiously.
Tears immediately filled her eyes.
"My feelings aren't that shallow! I'm not one of those women you can casually play with!"
Before Aciel could react, Xylia suddenly gathered all her strength and kicked him hard between his thighs.
