2024-10-29 19:42:56James Miller didn't say anything the whole way until he finally stopped his car in front of an abandoned warehouse.
"Get out," said him coldly.
"What are we doing here?" asked Becky, worried. She crossed her arms over her chest, afraid that he would sexually harass her.
James Miller unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to stare at her silently, seconds later suddenly he came closer and said, "Don't worry you're not my type, and you know what? You're not that pretty after all..."
Becky pushed him away from her face then hurriedly opened the car door and got off with her chest heaving in annoyance. From outside the car, she could see James Miller grinning intimidatingly.
Seconds later, she followed him into the warehouse. She bit her lip, thinking of the best way to fight him if he ever dared to touch her. At the main entrance which was an old rusty heavy steel door, two men in black jackets stood guard while chatting with each other. They immediately straightened up when they saw James Miller appear together with Becky standing behind him.
The door swung wide open, the smell of rusty iron wafting through her senses. She frowned but managed to keep herself from saying anything.
But suddenly the sight in front of her made her scream in horror.
"Dad!" she ran to the center of the room where William Beckett was tied to a chair. He was surrounded by James' bodyguards.
"Becky..." called William Beckett in surprise, from his eyes, Becky could tell that her father didn't expect James Miller to take Becky to that place.
With trembling steps, Becky walked over to her father, but about six feet from him she stopped.
"It was all a mistake, right? You didn't steal the painting did you?" she asked, her face full of hope. She hoped her father would nod and explain that it was all a misunderstanding, but William Beckett just sat there with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Becky..." that was all he could say.
Becky's legs felt weak, she swallowed hard and took a deep breath, trying not to scream.
"Why?" she asked almost in a whisper. "Why are you doing this to us?! Didn't you think about how Alex and Phoebe would feel if they heard about this?" she asked shakily.
"I'm doing this for you guys," said William, his eyes on his daughter, teary.
"No, don't make excuses like that just to justify what you've done!" shouted Becky, her chest heaving with anger.
"I'm tired of being a useless father! You've been working for us all this time! How could I sit still watching you work day and night!" cried William in tears.
"Don't lie to your daughter, you don't have to steal a four hundred million dollar painting if that's the only reason," interrupted James Miller, suddenly standing next to Becky with his arms folded across his chest. His eyes were fixed on William Beckett sharply.
Becky was silent, she didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Miller, please let me go, I will go to Sergio Antonov and ask him to return the painting no matter what," said William Beckett, looking up at James Miller with pleading eyes.
"Are you sure? Didn't you share your money with some of your friends? How are you going to return that four hundred million to me? Are you trying to play a trick on me? You think I didn't know you were going to run away?" said James Miller with disdain.
William Beckett turned to Becky and said "You can keep my daughter as a guarantee, I'm pawning her to you willingly as you asked me..."
Becky widened her eyes in surprise, she never thought her father would ever say such a thing, and her heart broke instantly. She shook her head in disbelief.
"I promise I'll be back Becky, I promise, don't worry about Alex and Phoebe, Nina will take care of them, for us..." William Beckett said trying to calm Becky who was very angry.
James Miller clapped his hands and laughed, "You're a typical jerk dad! I thought you'd beg me to just kill yourself and set your daughter free, but oh God, you're insanely asshole!" said he in disbelief.
"Tell me why did you steal that painting?!" shouted Becky with her hands tightly clenched.
William Beckett closed his eyes and shook his head.
"I can't say anything about it now Becky, please, believe me, I'll be back to set you free," he said earnestly but unfortunately his daughter couldn't believe in him, especially after she found out that he was hiding something from her.
"Okay, that's enough!" shouted James, signaling his men to get Becky out of there.
"I need to talk to you," he said pulling up a chair and sitting across from William Beckett who looked terrified. Becky just looked at her father in disappointment and didn't say anything, but the tears that trickled down her face explained everything.
She walked out of the warehouse without a fight, her soul felt so empty, how could her father pawn her to James Miller willingly?
She crouched near a tree, studied her injured heel, grabbed a small rock then threw it far away into the empty street.
"May I borrow your cell phone?" she asked a bodyguard who was standing not far from her.
"I'm not doing anything without Mr. Miller's approval," the bodyguard replied flatly.
Charlotte snorted, just as she turned her gaze to the warehouse door, James Miller emerged from there with wide strides. His eyes stared at her intently.
She remained where she was crouching, in no mood to rise to her feet or greet him. She rubbed her bare feet, her face looked pale and gloomy.
"Paul, take off your shoes," said James Miller to the bodyguard standing next to Becky.
"Yes?" Paul looked at his boss in bewilderment.
"I said take off your shoes!" he snapped in his stern voice.
Paul took off his loafers and put them on the ground.
"Hey, put those shoes on," said James Miller, looking down at Becky.
"Hey pawn slave!" he shouted once more because Becky didn't answer.
"You talking to me?" she looked up in surprise.
James Miller snorted, he pushed Paul's shoe towards her with his foot. "Put this on!" he snapped.
Becky looked up, surprised, not expecting someone like James Miller to do such a thing to her.
James Miller crouched down, he brought his face closer to her and whispered, "I didn't tell you to wear those shoes because I care, but I did it because I don't want you to dirty my expensive car with your dirty feet..."

"Tim, Take care of her, you know what to do, bring her to the library after she finished her dinner," said James after he and Becky were back at the mansion."Yes, sir!" said Timothy, nodding politely at his boss then he looked at Becky from head to toe and got a little surprised when he saw the shoes she was wearing. Without looking at Becky at all, James Miller walked out of the living room into the hallway that led him to the elevator to the second floor where his room was."Come on, this way!" said Timothy while moving his chin, signaling Becky to follow him. Without saying anything she followed him with a gloomy and pale face. "Did you know what would happen to me?" asked her as she walked down the hall to the back door of the mansion."No," said Timothy curtly, he kept walking without looking at her who was walking next to him."You must know the reason why my father stole that expensive painting, please tell me!" she said as she stood in front of Timothy, blocking his path.

"Now you can say no to that, but if your father doesn't bring my painting back to me, you won't be able to escape all this..." said James Miller with a smirk on his face.Becky felt so nauseous, she caught her breath, trying not to panic. She knew her father would return to free her soon. He might be crazy but he's still a father."Whatever! You really are a sociopath!" she snapped while signing the document roughly.James Miller just snorted, not bothering to deny what Becky said."I've signed this document, now I want my cell phone back! I have to call my siblings!" said Becky, throwing the document on the table in front of James Miller, who was sitting straight with his hands across his chest.James Miller took a paper bag and gave it to her."Use this, don't be stupid I will know who you are talking to, and what you are looking for on the internet, I am the king of my own palace, so if you want your life to be easy, stay away from anything that will trigger my anger," he raved whi

Becky was stunned when her eyes met James Miller's. For a while, she thought he would withdraw her hand but what happened was..."No!!!"He let go of her hand and plunged her into the three-meter-deep pool. She tried to swim frantically, but she had a hard time because she couldn't swim. As she rose to the surface she could see James Miller staring at her with furrowed brows, maybe he thought she was joking?"Help me!" she shouted through the water that was starting to enter her mouth. She began to be unable to hold her breath, for a moment she thought her life would be ended up just like that, but suddenly someone jumped into the pool and pulled her out just as she lost her consciousness.She coughed, feeling water gush out of her mouth. When she opened her eyes, she saw James Miller looking down at her with a tense face."Hey, you're awake?" he asked, waving his hand in front of her face.She weakly blinked her eyes as an answer.He took a deep breath, "Tim!" he shouted as he rose t

"No, I'm not. I spent most of my day in this room, so you have to be here to serve me," said James Miller casually. Becky shook her head, "No, I don't want to," she mumbled as if she has the right to decline his order.James Miller shrugged, "I'm afraid you have no choice Ms. Beckett, now why don't you come with me, I'm gonna show you around," he said firmly. Becky stomped her foot in annoyance but she knew she didn't have another choice but to obey his order."This room is not as large as you think, that's the kitchen, where you're gonna cook for me every day, and put this in your mind, I like to keep everything neat, no stains no messy stuff, just put everything in the right place, you got it?"Becky sneered, but she didn't say anything."I'm asking you and you have to answer it, do you understand?" snapped James Miller, his eyes staring at her sharply."Oh God, yes I do!" shouted Becky impatiently."You can just say 'Yes Mr. Miller' that sounds better."Becky rolled her eyes, her c

With trembling hands, Becky opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients. She didn't know what to cook, but she didn't dare to ask, not after what James Miller had done to her. Honestly, the slap from the leather whip didn't hurt at all, it's just that the pressure he gave really made her mentally shaken. She had never seen such a thing before. She looked up nervously, she could see James Miller was sitting on a work chair facing directly into the vast backyard, his hands were busy typing on his laptop.She could have taken a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the back, but she knew she wasn't a murderer, not even when she was in the most unfortunate situation like that. She breathed out heavily, for the time being, she would only follow James Miller's game while waiting for what she could do for the next.Luckily she spent half her life taking care of Alex and Phoebe, it made her quite good at kitchen matters.She took a french baguette, melon, ham, and cheese then started to m

Becky was taken aback when she saw James Miller throw her stained white linen dress onto the floor and trample it furiously.She didn't dare to ask him anything and just stayed silent in a squatting position while trying to cover her almost naked body. A few moments later he walked away without saying a word.She breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at James Miller's back questioningly. Behind his cold demeanor, she knew he was hiding something. She stood up and walked on tiptoe down the corridor, heading to her room. But before she got there, she bumped into him who was heading towards her in a hurry."Clean the kitchen and put things back the way they were," he said dryly as if nothing had happened to them before.Becky shrieked in surprise, she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Um, yes Mr. Miller, but I have to get dressed first," she replied nervously.James Miller looked at her from head to toe."No need, I can't hold back any longer watching my kitchen fall apart like th

Becky hurriedly opened her eyes and sat down after James Miller came out of the room. She bit her lip, thinking. Maybe he wasn't that bad after all. If he could seduce him, maybe she could get out of that ridiculous bondage.She jumped out of bed and walked on tiptoe out, she peeked into the living room, but no one was there. Maybe Timothy was gone, but where was James?Suddenly a snort sounded in the back of Becky's head making her shudder in surprise. She turned around to find him standing behind her with his arms folded across his chest."What are you doing?" he asked dryly.Becky turned around nervously, "Um, nothing, just to see if Mr. Davis is gone or not," she answered nonchalantly."Why?""Um, there aren't any clothes in my room, I need to get them out from the pavilion," replied Becky haltingly."Mr. Davis will get it for you later, come with me," said James, accepting no refusal.Hesitantly Becky followed behind him, she had to be nice and sweet so that he would pity her and

She knew he might think she was going to scream or something, but all she did was stay still and wait as a slave resigned to her punishment.

Before long he returned with several items that made her gulp in fear just by seeing them.

Becky's question was left unanswered. That day James took her back to LA, which confused her, he asked him, but again her question remained unanswered. They landed safely at LAX and continued to James' mansion, which gave Becky a goosebump when she looked at it, recalling the chaotic day when that tragedy happened."Okay, that's enough!" Becky stopped her step and snatched away James' hand, which was holding her wrist. "Can you at least tell me what's going on here? Why are you flying to LA when our wedding is just days away?" she raved, her chest heaving. "I know it's a fake wedding, but I don't like that you changed the plan without my approval. I mean, am I that insignificant to you?"James stopped. He exhaled long and then turned around at her."Those media attention is the last thing I wanted to get right now.

"Can you please leave me alone? I need time..." said Becky without looking at him. James nodded. He walked away from her and stopped right at the door."Everything will be fine. You don't have to worry," he said, staring at the back of her head with a warm gaze. Becky didn't say anything. She buried her face between her knees, sobbing. She didn't know that James was standing still behind the door, confused about how he could help her go through that situation.After he left, she dared herself to activate her cell phone.

"Are you kidding me? Why would you come with us?" asked Becky, who finally canceled to go to dinner with Alan. James shrugged, "I just wanted to join in,?" he said lightly. "Oh really?!" she rolled her eyes, then turned her face toward the window again. They were in the car, just out of The Plaza area."Where are we going?" she asked nonchalantly."Home," he said."Okay, drive me to my apartment. I really need some me time," she said bluntly."No, we're going back to my penthouse," he said undeniably."Excuse me? We're not married yet! We don't have to live together!

With an annoyed face, Becky returned to James's penthouse. She still couldn't accept the trap she had set. If she had known from the start that her shopping expenses would be deducted from her own money she would not have spent that much!"Follow me," he said, climbing the stairs to the second floor."We're not going to sleep together, aren't we?" said her curiously. He snorted in laughter, "What did you just say? Do you think I'm willing to sleep with you? You may still be unable to forget what happened to us back then but trust me. I don't remember any of that. I even forgot how you tasted!"Becky didn't reply. However, she lost her virginity to him, which bothered her quite a bit. She stepped ahead of James with a shopping bag in her hand. James looked at her back. He understood what was happening in her head but wasn't lying when he said he didn't remember anything about her."I forgot which one is my room?" asked Becky when they were on the second floor, she looked around the ro

Becky grimaced. She looked at James with an annoyed look. "We accidentally bumped into each other. How about you? What are you doing here?" she asked, trying to sound cheerful. James looked at her and Richard alternately, "Accidentally bumped into each other? What is that supposed to mean?" he muttered with a raised eyebrow.Richard cleared his throat softly, "I'd better get back to the office, Becky thanks for your time!" he said as he rose to his feet, nodded once to James, and then hurriedly left them. He knew something terrible might going to happen."Are you following me?!" Becky said, her eyes squinting at James suspiciously. He chuckled, "Following you? Do you think I don't have anything else to do? Why would I follow you?! I wanted to pick up something I left in Michael's office, and I accidentally saw you with that annoying guy!""That annoying guy you said? You don't even know him! How can you call him like that?

"Um, Richard, nice to meet you. I have to go now!" said Becky, shaking Richard's hand awkwardly."Let's go this way!" said Michael West, leading James and Becky to his office. "Bye!" said Richard, smiling warmly before Becky disappeared from the hallway."What? You like him?" muttered James coldly."Haha, so funny!" replied Becky with a sarcastic tone."Remember you are someone's future wife, don't flirt with other men or...""Or what?" she challenged him."Or you'll get the consequences," hissed James in a serious tone that made Becky shudder in horror, remembering the torture she once got from him.While Becky was busy with her thoughts, James suddenly pulled her hand away."Are you going to keep thinking about that guy, or are you going to focus on settling my life back?" he whispered in her ear.Becky sneered, she looked up at James, but she didn't say anything. It sucks! A relationship with someone who didn't love her back hurt her so much! She couldn't imagine living years with

She could remember everything clearly, all his sighs, touch, kisses..."Rebecca?!""Hey, Rebecca Beckett!" James waved his hand in front of her face and brought her to her senses. She hurriedly pulled herself away from him and cleared her throat nervously."Are you thinking something dirty? Why is your face red like that?" he teased with laughter.Becky's face turned even redder, "You're so annoying!" she snapped, stomping her feet and then walking fast, leaving the kitchen. James held back his laugh and followed her behind. They stood next to each other without speaking. Becky kept cursing herself for being unable to forget everything that had happened. She even felt something warm between her thighs. Gosh! What a shame!"Rebecca, wait!" yelled James running after her. "Arrgh!" suddenly, he stopped, holding his head in

"I know, you don't need to remind me," said Becky curtly. She turned her face to the window, secretly smiling because she missed James so much. It's just that she didn't want to show her longing for him. One-sided love was tough...James's penthouse was on the 100th floor of a luxury apartment building in Manhattan, New York.A driver opened the car door for her while James waited impatiently beside her. "This way," the bodyguard said, showing her the way to the private elevator that would take them to the 100th floor.She didn't say anything at all and was still trying to digest it all. She tried to fix her life and focus on her siblings, but James's appearance changed everything. She didn't know what would happen after that...James scanned his eyes at a small box located near the entrance. Soon after, the door was wide open. "Come on," he said as he stepped back and invited Becky to enter first."How did you know about that? I mean, how do you know how to enter this room?" she aske
