All was silent again.Probably frightened by her hysterical scream, the bodyguard stopped moving for a moment. The ax stopped right above Thomas's hand.Everyone looked at Sylvia and the extremely grim-faced man who was holding her.Sylvia's eyes were red, and the tears could not stop flowing out. She looked at him and choked. "I'll do anything as long as you let him go."There was only pleading on her red face. There was no trace of the usual arrogance she had when facing him.It was as if a long thorn was stuck in Odell's chest. He pursed his lips, held back his emotions, and cupped her face, asking in a low voice, "Are you really willing to do anything for him?"Sylvia did not hear the meaning of his words. She only wanted to get Thomas out of the house. Thus, she agreed to his words. "If you want to sleep with me, I'll let you sleep with me now. You can do whatever you want as long as you let Thomas go."Odell curled his lips. "Fine, then we'll do it here."His face suddenl
The man's hot and dominating breath surged like a tsunami, prying open her lips and teeth as he kissed her forcefully and left her no room for resistance....The sound of movement in the room never stopped and did not end until the next day when it was almost bright.This man was the devil. It was as if he would not rest until he tortured her to death!Sylvia felt like she was dying, but fortunately, she managed to do everything that he told her to do.She gripped his arm tightly, holding onto her last ounce of strength to say, "Odell, you said that you would release Thomas if I didn't hold back my voice. You'll keep your word, right?"Her voice was so hoarse that she could hardly speak.At that moment, not only was her face puffy, but her eyes were also bloodshot. It was obvious that she had cried for a long time. There were still tears on her eyelashes.The man only felt a surge of anger choke his chest.'Even now, she's still thinking of another man! If not for the fact th
The smile on Thomas's mouth suddenly disappeared, and he said word for word, "You'll regret this, Odell."Odell threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe. "Who will make me? You? Try again in your next life."As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard gave Thomas a hard shove.His slender and thin figure stumbled forward a few steps.After standing firm, he turned his head to glance at Odell's bedroom to the side. Then, he looked away and walked downstairs....Sylvia did not know how she fell asleep. She only felt like she was going to die. Her waist felt like it had snapped, and her body seemed like it had been dismantled into pieces.Even in her sleep, she was in a state of exhaustion, pain, and panic. She was dazed and confused. After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to suddenly awaken when a ray of sunlight illuminated her face. She quickly rolled over to sit up.Then, the soreness of the muscles in her body hit her so h
The phone was quiet for two seconds before the man's low voice rang out. "Follow her."Jacob quickly answered, "Yes, sir."...Before long, an ordinary car drove up to the door.Sylvia clutched her waist and sat in the backseat.At that moment, in the building to the east of the mansion, Odell's strong figure stood on one side of the balcony. He had been there since Sylvia came out of the house and shuffled to the gate.In the sunlight, his eye sockets were deep, and his eyes were cold and dark.After a long time, he waited until the car Sylvia called disappeared around the corner before he spoke out, "Where is he now?"Ben, who was standing behind him, quickly replied, "Second Master Carter returned to a villa in the suburbs and hasn't come out since. He's still inside. The report says he has been staring at a painting in a daze.""Watch him. If that woman goes to him, report to me immediately.""Yes, sir!"...Sylvia returned to her residence in half an hour.Aunt Tonya
The many suffocating scenes from last night rushed to Sylvia's head. Whether it was physically or mentally, she did not want to see him at this moment at all!She quickly said to the children, "Isabel and Liam, I suddenly have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet. You guys go down and eat first. There's no need to wait for me."Isabel replied, "Okay."However, Liam frowned. 'Why did Mommy suddenly get a stomach ache when Daddy came?'Before he could understand, Sylvia turned around and ran back to the room. The two little ones walked down the stairs together.In the living room, Odell had just sat down. When he saw them coming down, he glanced behind them and saw empty air.'Why didn't that woman come down?'At that moment, Isabel also walked up to him with her chubby face puffed out. She looked quite cute.He reached out and took her into his arms.The girl crossed her arms and looked at him, asking, "Baddie, where did you and Mommy go last night? Why are the mosquito b
The man's tall and straight figure walked in from the main gate on time.In the living room, Sylvia saw him at a glance and immediately said to Aunt Tonya and the children, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You all eat first. Don't wait for me."Then, without waiting for them to react, she ran upstairs swiftly.Aunt Tonya was dumbfounded. The two little ones raised their heads in confusion as well.Just then, Odell walked in.Aunt Tonya was the first to react and smiled dryly. "Dinner is ready. Come and eat."Isabel hummed and walked over with Liam. Odell's face was expressionless as he sat at the table with them.Meanwhile, Sylvia had already returned to her room. She went to the window and painted something out of boredom while paying attention to the movement outside.Almost half an hour later, the sound of footsteps came from the door of the living room downstairs.She half-crouched down to peek outside.However, just before she could see the tall figure
Sylvia hurriedly asked, "Are you sick?"Thomas was silent for a few seconds before he replied, "Yeah, I caught a slight cold, but I already took some medicine."She felt that something was strange.'If he only caught a cold, why had he taken so long to reply?'She asked bluntly, "Have you eaten dinner?"He paused for another two seconds before saying, "Yeah.""What did you eat?""Steak and red wine.""Didn't you take medicine for your cold? How could you still drink red wine?"He was silent.Sylvia was exasperated. "Why aren't you saying anything?""I'm a bit sleepy, so I'll hang up now."Then, he ended the call.Sylvia clutched her phone.'He must have gone on a hunger strike.'After mulling it over in her mind for a while, she got up and walked outside.In the living room, Aunt Tonya was watching TV with Isabel. Liam sat next to them, reading a book.Seeing her hurry downstairs, Aunt Tonya asked, "What's wrong, Syl? Are you going out?""Yeah." Sylvia looked at the t
After waiting for a while and not hearing a response, she called out, "Thomas, it's me."In the next second, the sound of footsteps could be heard from inside.The door to the room was quickly pulled open from the inside.Sylvia looked up to see a handsome but very frail face.The shape of his body also seemed to be thinner than usual.She frowned.Thomas also furrowed his brows. "You shouldn't have come here. Go back."Sylvia knew he was worried that Odell might bully her again if he knew that she was here."Don't worry, I'm just here to see you. He won't do anything to me." After a pause, she added, "Besides, he doesn't know that I came over."The moment she spoke, she saw two figures flash past from her peripheral vision.She instantly looked over.In the blink of an eye, the two figures quickly dodged and hid in the next room.They looked like the two bodyguards that she had seen at the front door earlier.Unable to help it, her eyes turned cold. She reached out and gr
