“Linnie.”The man’s low and soft voice rang out behind her ears.Madeline slowly lifted her sharp yet beautiful eyes. She then saw Jeremy’s narrow eyes that were brimming with emotions in the mirror.“Linnie.” Jeremy got closer to Madeline, his warm palm holding her thin wrist tightly.“Linnie, do you have any secrets? Why are you staying with Carter?”Madeline lowered her eyes to look at Jeremy’s hand that was holding hers tightly. Then, her icy glare looked into Jeremy’s enthusiastic and expectant eyes.“If I don’t stay with Carter, should I go back to you instead?” Madeline asked with a cold chuckle. She pushed Jeremy’s hand away. “Why did I marry a guy like you back then? Jeremy, I’ve already divorced you. Let me warn you now, stop pestering me.”After listening to Madeline, Jeremy felt as if his heart had been struck by lightning. In that instant, his heart broke into two pieces.Warn.She said she was warning him to stop pestering her.She said how could she have marrie
While he said that, he suddenly pulled down his tie to bind Madeline’s hands together.“What are you doing? Jeremy, what are you trying to do?”“Linnie, don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to hurt you anymore. I just want to take you home.”“I don’t have a home with you anymore. Jeremy, you…”Madeline was rejecting him strongly, but in the end, she still could not win against Jeremy’s strength.He used his tie to bind both of Madeline’s hands in order to stop her from struggling and resisting.Even though he did that, Jeremy was reluctant to tie her up too tightly in case he hurt her.“Linnie, I’ll take you home right now. Trust me, the thing you want the most in the deepest part of your heart is to come back to me.” Jeremy looked fixedly at Madeline.However, Madeline was glaring at him with eyes that were filled with anger.“Cart will never forgive you.”“Let him come to me, then. I want to see what he’ll do to steal my wife away from me again.”“...”Madeline pressed he
Madeline could not escape from him, so she could only allow Jeremy to bring her inside. However, she was obviously very reluctant.“Jeremy, what on earth do you want? It’s over between us.”Jeremy turned around to look into Madeline’s eyes that were filled with rage. “Linnie, there will never be the day when things are over between us.”“You lunatic!”Jeremy found it sweet when Madeline was criticizing him.“No matter what you say about me, I’ll just think of it as flirtatious banter.”“...”Madeline furrowed her beautiful brows tightly while feeling extremely vexed. When she was about to berate the man more, she was suddenly brought into the bedroom.Perhaps he was preventing Madeline from running away, so Jeremy deliberately locked the door.After locking the door, he undid the tie around Madeline’s wrists. However, when the tie was removed, Madeline pushed Jeremy away and ran quickly to the door.However, Jeremy had locked the door from inside, and just now, she saw Jeremy
Even though Madeline was unconvinced, she did not have any ways to run away.Since Jeremy knew the current Madeline was resisting him, he watched the door of the room for the entire night.The next day when he went into the room, he saw that Madeline had changed into a more casual outfit. She was sitting on the bed, flipping through the photo album leisurely.When she saw Jeremy coming in, she tossed the album to one side.“How long are you going to keep me locked up for?” she asked straightforwardly.Jeremy smiled warmly. “Linnie, you should be hungry, right? I made breakfast.”“Oh yeah? I remember I was always the one making breakfast and waiting for you downstairs. However, you never cared,” Madeline said and walked downstairs after walking past Jeremy.Jeremy did not mind what Madeline was saying to him now at all. He knew this was not her real intention.‘However, how did she become like this?‘Why would she think that we’re divorced and why does she keep mentioning those
Madeline could not hear what Carter was saying to Jeremy, but she noticed the visible changes in Jeremy’s eyes. Even his expression became colder and darker instantly.She was suspicious and curious, but she did not have any intention to probe.When Carter saw the changes in Jeremy’s expression, he curled the corners of his lips and walked back to Madeline’s side in satisfaction.“Eveline, let’s go.”Madeline looked at Jeremy who was standing motionless while looking at her without speaking. She smiled at Carter and nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”Initially, Madeline was not curious, but when she remembered how Jeremy was so insistent on keeping her here and how he was watching her leave without any reaction now, she was feeling very conflicted.She thought about it before finally asking, “Cart, what did you say to Jeremy just now? Why does he look like he’s stunned? Why isn’t he speaking or reacting?”A hint of joy flashed across the corners of Carter’s eyes without a trace, but he d
Adam’s expression changed again. “Cathy knows hypnotism?” He never knew Cathy had this skill.“Adam, where’s Cathy now?” Jeremy asked anxiously.After he said that, Jeremy saw a hint of desolation in Adam’s eyes. After a few seconds, Adam spoke, “I think she went to see him.”Him.Jeremy understood immediately.The ‘him’ he mentioned was Felipe.Custodial ward.Cathy was standing at the door of the room that Felipe was locked in. She did not go in even after a very long time.Through the small window, she could see Felipe sitting on the bed. He had a notebook under his left arm and was holding a pen with his right hand. He was writing something on the pages of the book.He had been writing the entire time she stood outside the door.As she recalled what had happened back then, Cathy only felt that it was extremely ironic that she was standing here.However, why did she still have the impulse to be a mere joke in her heart?He was so cruel but she was still reluctant to let
“Jeremy, it’s you again! What else do you want?” Madeline was still fighting back with all she had.Jeremy pressed down on Madeline’s shoulder. His deep and narrow eyes were looking straight into her beautiful eyes that were filled with repulsion.“Linnie, please believe me no matter what. I’ll never hurt you.”“You won’t?” Madeline chuckled coldly and asked. “It seems that you’ve forgotten how you treated me back then, but I never will!” After Madeline said that, Jeremy felt as if his heart had been split apart by a sharp knife.What terrified Jeremy was when Madeline was saying this, her eyes were filled with intense hatred.The level of hatred was as if it was just yesterday when he hurt her and caused her to bleed and cry.This was not normal at all.Jeremy was even more certain that Madeline was hypnotized.If not, if Madeline was normal, she would never say something like that. She would never treat him with this attitude.“Linnie, I know you won’t listen to me no matter
“I’ll never obey you.” Madeline resisted.However, after she finished saying those resisting words, Adam walked out of the house.When he saw Madeline and Jeremy, he was surprised. However, what shocked him even more was that Jeremy had bound Madeline’s hands together with a tie.He did not expect that Jeremy would do this.He looked at Madeline. He could not find the previous gentle and friendly smile on her fair and stunning face. Now, there was only coldness.“Are they here?” Cathy walked out as well.When Madeline heard Cathy’s voice, she lifted her eyes to look at her. “Evie.” Cathy smiled and greeted Madeline.Madeline furrowed her gorgeous eyebrows. Then, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. “Are you… Cathy?”“Linnie, do you know Cathy?” Jeremy was surprised.Madeline ignored Jeremy and took a step closer to Cathy. “Are you Cathy?”“Yes, I am.” Cathy nodded. When she saw Madeline’s tied-up hands, she walked over to undo the tie.Cathy looked into Madeline’s e
