Chapter 4
Time seemed to stretch endlessly, each second becoming unbearably heavy.
I crouched under the desk, every minute feeling torturous.
Muffled sounds drifted down from above my head.
Gavin’s low murmurs made me squeeze my eyes shut, unable to face the madness unfolding before me.
He whispered hoarsely: “Amelia… Amelia…”
I never imagined that this man, usually so cold and distant, barely cracking a smile, would now be calling my name over and over in hushed tones, chasing some ultimate pleasure.
I covered my eyes, my mind racing through countless ways I could have avoided getting trapped in this situation.
Yet here I was, just a part–time tutor, unable to understand why I’d encountered something like this.
Just as my thoughts spiraled, I suddenly heard my own voice from the video, snapping me back to reality.
No! I couldn’t just sit here doing nothing.
This was crucial evidence – I had to record it. Only with proof

could I truly protect myself!

I opened my eyes and shakily pulled out my phone, aiming it at the scene before me and hitting record.
In the dim study, the computer screen’s glow made everything starkly clear.
I kept filming until he completely lost control in front of the screen, then ended the recording with trembling hands.
Moments later, the sound of tissues being pulled broke the
silence.
The computer was shut off, and Gavin stood up, retying his robe.
Was he finally leaving?
I breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Seeing him about to leave, I quickly shifted to my other foot to
relieve the numbness.
Suddenly he stepped back and crouched directly in front of me.
I froze, my mind going blank.
Gavin braced one hand against the desk and looked down at me with confusion: “Ms. Crawford? You’re still here – haven’t seen

enough?”

His words made me flush with embarrassment.
I realized then that he’d known I was here all along.
Even worse – he hadn’t just known I was watching, he’d deliberately put on a show for me!
I couldn’t bear to think about it further and instinctively tried to back away.
But trapped under the desk, I had nowhere to go.
When he raised his hand toward me, I immediately turned my face away.
The next second, his cold fingertip traced across my forehead, gently wiping away something.
Only then did I notice the sticky sensation on my forehead.
Gavin’s fingertip moved deliberately across my brow, while his eyes held a sickly obsession.
He said: “Poor thing, I got you all dirty.”
I cowered in place, not daring to look up at him.
Suddenly, with a crisp “thud,” my phone slipped from my arms

and clattered to the floor.

Startled, I bent to retrieve it, but Gavin was faster, snatching up my phone.
Remembering the crucial evidence stored inside, I lunged forward: “Give it back!”
My outstretched hand was caught in his grip as Gavin clamped down on my wrist and forcibly unlocked my phone.
I tried to wrestle it back, but he shoved me to the ground, pinning both my wrists and leaving me completely immobilized.
Forced to kneel and look up at him, I watched helplessly as Gavin opened my photo gallery.
His finger swiped across the screen, brazenly browsing through my pictures until he quickly found photos of Aaron and me together.
“Your boyfriend?” A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
“This is invasion of privacy!” I glared at him furiously.
He ignored me, continuing to scroll without a care.
Soon, he seemed to spot something interesting and raised an eyebrow at me: “You’re quite the player, aren’t you.”

My face burned red.

My wrist suddenly flared with pain as Gavin gripped it harder, bringing tears to my eyes.
He ruthlessly deleted those photos, only stopping when he reached the final video.
He mockingly held the screen up to my face: “Ms. Crawford, you want to talk to me about privacy?”
I turned away, refusing to meet his gaze.
He chuckled softly: “Though I have to say, this angle is pretty clear.”
Gavin studied himself in the video, then looked back at me: “Tell me, wouldn’t this count as evidence of your voyeurism?”
I was speechless.
Gavin slowly stood up, his silk robe loosening slightly with the
vement.
Ignoring everything else, I rubbed my numb feet and crawled out from under the desk: “Don’t forget, you filmed me first…”
“Shh…” Gavin gestured for silence, his gaze sweeping toward a corner of the study: “Ms. Crawford, guess what that is?”

Following his line of sight, I saw a red dot blinking rhythmically in the darkness.
Below the red dot was a dark circular lens, pointed directly at
- me.
He’d installed surveillance cameras in the study too?
Gavin picked up his phone from the desk and waved it at me.
The screen displayed real–time night vision footage of the study.
Gavin shook his head: “Your little break–in, hiding under the desk to secretly film – it’s all been recorded. Ms. Crawford, want to see the playback?”
I stood frozen in place.
Gavin had come in because he’d seen the surveillance footage.
He gripped my chin, forcing me to look up and meet his eyes.
Gavin’s gaze studied my expression: “So what are you going to do now?”
