The light in the courtyard outside seemed unnecessary in this moonlight.Sylvia spread a layer of base color from top to bottom of the canvas, then added in the moon and stars.Her brush strokes were quick and decisive, and in no time, she quickly painted the scenery in the yard.There was a garden in the yard that was filled with a variety of flowers as well as dense trees.She looked over twice and drew the flowers and plants. Then, she looked over again, intending to remember the shape of the trees in the area.There were not many trees, but each one had a different shape and size. Their leaves were all lush and of varying shades.Sylvia narrowed her eyes and observed carefully.From top to bottom, she looked at each layer of the treetops until she saw the bottom layer.Then, she spotted a tall and dark shadow leaning against the trunk of the furthest tree.The shadow was tall and straight. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.Sylvia was shocked, closed
Under the light, his handsome face was instantly covered with a layer of gloom."Don't you already know whether or not I'm a man from that night's experience?" Odell took one step forward to her and raised his hand as if to break her neck.Sylvia paled as she instinctively wanted to step back.He grabbed her by the collar, his gaze cold as he approached her. "Or do you want to experience it again?"Her legs went weak at once.At that moment, Thomas approached them. He stood weakly beside her as he said to Odell, "I'm the one who developed feelings for Sylvia, and I was the one who took the initiative to pursue her. Just come at me if you're unhappy, but please don't bully her again!"'What is he saying?'If I'm unhappy, of course I'll take it out on him. I'm not stupid!'Odell frowned and narrowed his cold eyes at Thomas. "You'd better get out of the way now, or I'll break your arm."Thomas stood unmoving. "I'll get out of the way if you want to, but let go of Sylvia first."
Odell frowned. “Who told you that?” Sylvia glared at him. “You don’t have to concern yourself with that. Tell me, was it you who did it?” Odell’s expression turned grim. Before he could utter his reply, Thomas’ feeble voice sounded from further away, “Sylvia, calm down. Maybe Odell doesn’t know about this, maybe it’s those people who set this up.” Odell was baffled. “Those men only listen to Odell. It would be impossible that they would have set this up themselves,” Sylvia argued. “Maybe there’s something going on that we don’t know yet. I don’t think Odell would do something like this,” said Thomas. Sylvia continued to glare at Odell. “Hmph. Then you have underestimated your brother. He’s capable of doing anything.” That night, he had ravaged her in all ways possible. Odell was silenced by her statement and her glare. His already grim expression worsened and he looked as if he could strangle Sylvia in the very next second.Thomas noticed the sour look on his broth
The two bodyguards immediately stopped the moment they heard him shout.Thomas covered his abdomen with his hands and continued to curl up on the ground in pain. Sylvia wanted to help him up but was pulled back into the arms of the man who was behind her.She crashed into his chest and found that her waist was constricted by his long arms. She was then lifted up over his shoulder, just like a sack of potatoes.His large steps and hastened pace allowed him to leave the house in a blink of an eye. In the dark night, his expression remained grim, making him look like a grim reaper that was claiming a life. Sylvia shrunk back in fear and did not dare to move. She saw the bodyguards leave the living room, so she had to assume Thomas was safe for now. Within a short time, he carried her out of the shade and arrived at an open space. His black sports car had been parked there. Sylvia was shoved into the car, knocking her head on the car with a thud in the process. She gro
Sylvia took Odell’s silence as his acknowledgement. She sighed and added, “Odell, Thomas hasn’t eaten anything in two days. You’re starving him to death.” Odell narrowed his eyes coldly. Sylvia was startled by his gloomy gaze, she instinctively moved closer to the door. “Did he tell you all that?” he asked. Sylvia cautiously looked at him and answered, “He didn’t tell me anything, I saw it with my own eyes.” Odell choked on his emotions upon hearing her explanation. His hands uncontrollably clenched into fists. Sylvia’s sharp eyes noticed his clenched fists and was filled with fear that he might hit her in the next second. Immediately pressing her back against the door, she nervously said, “Odell, Thomas really didn’t tell me anything. Please don’t be like this.” He scoffed. “He might not have told you anything, but what if he had intended for you to see all of those things?” “Impossible!” Sylvia cried out without a second thought. “Thomas wouldn’t do something like t
Sylvia’s tense body relaxed as she breathed a sigh of relief and cursed her own nerves.She had seen everything with her own eyes, how could there be anything fishy going on? What a big man. Did he really have such a difficult time admitting what he had done? Moreover, she had not even tried to blame him. All she had said was that she wanted him to release Thomas. Thankfully, by locking her out on the balcony, at least she would not have to sleep with him. With that thought in mind, Sylvia curled herself up and leaned against the wall to sleep. The night breeze was a bit chilly during this season but it was not bone-chillingly cold. The breeze blowing lightly on her was actually quite comfortable. After a while, Sylvia fell asleep. Seconds turned into minutes. The man stood in front of the window in the study room next door as he smoked. The wind came in from the opened window and carried the smoke away. His gloomy expression slowly eased, until he reached the last
Sylvia’s face was cold as she said, “What if I insist on bringing it in?” The man sneered. “Then don’t blame us for being rough.” After that, each man in the group then revealed a small axe from behind their backs. Sylvia was stunned. She had hidden two pieces of bread in her pockets, so even if she could not take the whole breakfast set inside, it would not be too much of a problem. She just had to go inside and check on Thomas. After thinking about it, she placed the breakfast on the ground. The men stepped back and granted her access to the villa. Sylvia ran into the villa. After she went inside, the man who had threatened her pulled out his phone and texted someone. Meanwhile inside the villa, Thomas was sitting by the window in his room. He stared outside blankly, allowing the sun to shed its brilliance on him. He had on a white shirt and the combination with the brilliance of the sun on his pale skin made him look a little ghostly.All of a sudden, the phone be
His cold face instantly became gloomy. Walking up to her, he looked at her and said, “Yes, I’m beating him up. What are you going to do about it?” “I…I…” Sylvia stuttered. Then, she threw herself into his arms and tried to constrict his arms by wrapping her arms around him. She looked up to him and said, “Odell, I won’t let you hit him!” Odell stood still, allowing her to hold him tightly. His lips and eyes curled as he chuckled, “Just you alone?” Sylvia increased her strength. She refused to surrender and shouted defiantly, “Yes, me alone! As long as I’m breathing, I won’t let you hit him!” The moment the words fell, both her arms were wrenched away with a greater force. Sylvia was shocked. She tried to grab him again but the man caught her by the waist. She found herself being lifted up and pinned under the man’s arm. She was then carried closer to Thomas and forced to watch him land a kick on Thomas with his foot that was encased in a leather shoe. Thomas curled
