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
When the car stopped in front of her place, Sylvia unfastened her seat belt and moved to leave the car. “Don’t let me catch you there again, or I will really destroy him,” he said as he shot a gloomy gaze at her. Sylvia’s eyes shifted slightly before she got out of the car and ran into her house. …That night, Sylvia could not sleep at all. She rolled around on her bed as she struggled to sleep. It was not until midnight that she finally received a text back from Sherry. “Syl, I found out that Thomas was admitted into a private hospital in the suburbs. He’s a little weakened, dehydrated and has some superficial injuries, but nothing serious. He was discharged this evening.” Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. However, the thought of Thomas being imprisoned again made her heart sink. She had to come up with a way to save him and take him away from Westchester. After another hour of struggling to sleep, she got up to approach the window and had a peek at Odell’s house.
Sylvia came out from behind the curtains and went to his side. She grabbed his hand again and said seriously, “Thomas, please leave with me now. Believe me, I can get you out of here.” Calmly, he stared into her eyes and asked, “Then after that, what next?” “I’ll take you away from Westchester. As long as you leave the city, Odell won’t be able to lay his hands on you anymore.” “What about you? Will you be leaving with me?” Sylvia was stunned. She began to avoid his scorching gaze and said in a small voice, “I can’t leave. I have to be here to take care of Isabel and Liam.” “Then leaving does not mean anything to me,” Thomas said with a chuckle. “I’d rather be locked up here by Odell. At least I’d still be able to see you.” “No! Odell is unpredictable, he might break your legs tomorrow or beat you up the day after.” “As long as I can see you, I don’t mind being crippled,” he said to her with a gentle smile. Sylvia felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Him trying to c
The window was the same as it had been when Sylvia had climbed in. She popped her head to look both ways before she climbed out. Then, she turned around and reached out to Thomas, saying, “Thomas, come on. I’ve got you.” Thomas’ eyes shifted for a bit before he said, “Okay.” Clasping her hand, he stepped onto the window sill before he pushed himself out of the window in one movement. Sylvia immediately pulled him along by the hand as she led him back to where she had come from. Just as she was about to lead Thomas into some shady bushes, a bright light suddenly came on.The strong light blinded Sylvia for a moment. By the time her eyes had adapted to the light, she noticed a group of men ahead of her in the bushes. More than a dozen bodyguards in uniforms stood in front of her, forming a barricade. Before them was Odell, sitting elegantly on a dark leather chair. The lights were bright enough for Sylvia to spot the frosty look on Odell’s face with just one glance.
Even the clear sound of bones breaking could be heard.Thomas screamed in pain, until even the veins on his face bulged out.Sylvia’s eyes widened in shock. Her leg had been intentionally broken before, so she knew how it felt as the bone broke. He had to be in excruciating pain. On top of that, Thomas was a pianist. The blow on his hand would not only hurt him physically, it would also hurt his future. However, that was not the end as the bodyguard raised the bat again and aimed for the right hand. Sylvia’s eyes turned red as she continued to scream, “Odell! Stop! Please make them stop, or I’ll die in front of you!” Her shout caused the bodyguards to stop again and they looked to Odell for further instructions. Odell’s gaze clouded over, but after a moment of silence, he said, “Continue.” The bodyguard raised the bat once more. Suddenly, there was a scream of pain. Sylvia had bitten the arm of the bodyguard who had been holding on to her. The pain forced him to r
He was feeling utterly helpless. Not only did the woman not love him any more, she had even tried to kill herself because of another man. He wondered if she was truly so in love with this man that she was willing to abandon her children!“Sylvia, you’ve really done it this time,” Odell said with a deep chuckle as a gleam flashed in his eyes before he released her face. He stood up and said to his bodyguards, “Release him and move out. There’s no need for all of you to come to this place anymore.” The bodyguards were shocked by his order and responded with a loud, “Yes, sir!”Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt her chest seize up with panic, as if her heart was experiencing a cramp. The further Odell walked away, the stronger the cramp became. She believed that it must have been the water that was interfering with her breathing. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the thought aside. After the bodyguards and Odell left, she got up and ran over to Thomas. Thomas wa
The dark night sky was gradually replaced by the bright light of the sun. The sun rose high and completely illuminated the sky.On the balcony, the strong figure of the man leaned against the railing as his bloodshot eyes continued to observe the entrance to the house next door. He had stood outside on the balcony since the moment he had come home. It had been six hours and the woman still had not returned. Was she accompanying him at the hospital? Or had she spent the night with him somewhere else? Crush! The man suddenly crushed the steel cigarette case in his hand. The cigarette that he had been smoking was tossed to the floor and crushed with his foot. At that moment, Jacob cautiously entered the room and stood a few meters away from the man. He nervously reported, “Sir, after you left last night, Madam took Second Master Carter to the hospital. Second Master Carter was advised by the hospital that he should stay for two nights at the hospital for observation. I he
