Perry's hand, tangled in Lilian's hair, froze. He looked at her in shock. Yes, he had always known Lilian hated his business, but he never imagined she would make such a request. Slowly, he withdrew his hand and said quietly, "Rest. I have something to take care of."
Lilian sneered sarcastically, rolling her eyes before closing them. Perry just looked at her for a moment, then walked out of the room without another word. He returned almost two hours later.
He stood at the door, watching Lilian, who seemed to be sleeping. But he knew she wasn't. "Get dressed," he said firmly. "We're leaving tonight."
Lilian's eyes snapped open in shock. Leaving? Where will Perry take me? Will Derek be able to find me?
Seeing she wasn't moving, Perry strode forward, lifted her onto his shoulder, and started walking out. Lilian snapped out of her daze, kicking furiously. "Perry, let go! I can walk! Where are you taking me?"
Remembering his promise to be gentle, Perry sighed heavily. He slowly set her down, his gaze falling to her bare feet. He quickly picked up her shoes. "Wear them."
Lilian slipped them on, frowning slightly. "Where are you taking me?"
Perry smiled, shrugging. "I've closed down this place. It's normal we should move to our new house."
Lilian stared at him in disbelief. Suspicion burned in her eyes. "But why?"
Perry raised his brow, asking back, "Isn't that what you want? I promised to do anything you want."

Lilian's anger boiled. Her hatred toward Perry escalated. She believed strongly that he had no intention of stopping his business. He was hiding ulterior motives. In truth, Perry was terrified the Russell and Kimberly families would discover the real Lilian was with him—and take her away.
Her voice cracked into sobs as she shouted, "Perry Jerome, what game are you playing now?"
Perry was taken aback. He remembered he was dealing with Lilian Asienwegher—the woman who could not be easily fooled. He sighed, almost pleading. "Lee, listen. I'm not playing games with you. I just want us to move to a more quiet and comfortable place, where no one can disturb our peace. We'll grow old to—"
"I'm not going anywhere!" Lilian cut him off with four sharp words, bursting into angry sobs as she turned back toward the bed.
Perry panicked. Watching her walk away, he thought, Following her calmly will yield no good result.
He lunged forward, grabbing the back of her neck. Lilian jolted, stiffening with a scream.
He roughly turned her face toward him, his teeth gritted. "Listen carefully. It's not up to you to decide. We're leaving this place right away!"
Scooping her up again, he slung her over his shoulder and stormed out of the house. They boarded his awaiting jet, taking off for Perry's private island. The journey took three hours.
When they landed, Perry carried her out of the jet—this time in a bridal style.

Later, in their new room, Perry looked at Lilian dotingly. "Lee, let's have kids and grow old together, right?"
Lilian jolted upright, her eyes wide in horror. She shook her head violently, panting. "No! Never! Perry, I will never have a child with you."
Perry paused, watching her tremble. She recoiled from his touch, ready to go berserk. His heart sank. "Do you dislike me this much?"
Without hesitation, Lilian nodded. Hatred blazed in her eyes. "Yes, Perry. We can't have babies together. I don't want your karma to come upon my child. Please."
Perry sat quietly, lost in thought. It's impossible to please Lilian. The only way to make her succumb is to go the rough way.
His eyes turned cold. "Lilian Asienwegher!"
She shrank back, quickly looking away from his dangerous red eyes. Perry will always remain Perry Jerome, she thought bitterly. Even when he pretends to be gentle, it never lasts.
He gripped her chin tightly, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Listen. I am the lawmaker in this house. And I say we are going to have kids. So be it!"

Lilian hated Perry to the core. She thought desperately, If Derek doesn't come to help me, I'll end up killing Perry—and myself.
Ignoring her seething hatred, Perry suddenly crashed his lips onto hers, kissing her insanely. He no longer cared to suppress his desire. He had only one goal: to satisfy the cravings he had suppressed for nine months.
Annoyed by her lack of response, he angrily thrust himself into her, causing Lilian to yelp in pain. Since leaving Perry, she hadn't been touched. Her cry unleashed the beast in him. He went berserk, pounding into her relentlessly.
Lilian couldn't stand it. She began begging for mercy. But even her painful screams and pleas sounded seductive to Perry, fueling the flames already burning inside him.
He moaned loudly, biting her shoulder repeatedly to suppress his cries. He wished he could melt completely into her, become one with her forever. Only Lilian Asienwegher can make me feel this way, he thought.
By the time Perry reached his second climax, Lilian had endured five. He screamed her name, moaning loudly. "I love you, Lee! You're so sweet, my love! You're the best! Aaahhhh!"

Finally, Perry lay lazily on the bed, pulling Lilian onto his chest. He wrapped his strong arms around her petite body, showering her face and lips with soft kisses. His shaft remained buried deep inside her, her walls clenching tightly around him.
But Lilian felt him stirring again. She quickly struggled to get up, excusing herself to go to the bathroom. As soon as she stood, her legs gave way, and she stumbled.
Perry reacted instantly, scooping her up and carrying her to the bathroom.
Lilian shivered, horrified by the sight before her. Perry stood hungrily, his body aroused again, staring at her with burning desire.
She shook her head, about to speak, but before the words left her lips, Perry sealed them with another kiss.
After another long ordeal, Perry carried the exhausted, worn‑out Lilian back to the bed. He laid her down gently, then lay beside her, pulling her into his arms. He kissed her forehead, watching her smooth breathing.
Smiling happily, he caressed her lower abdomen indulgently.
