Deirdre shuddered violently and felt a feeling of disgust that she had never felt before. “You pervert!”Cillian burst out laughing aloud. “It has been a long time since anyone has called me that way. It’s no wonder Brendan is so fond of you. You sound as sweet as a nightingale’s call even when you're berating someone.”Deirdre clenched her fists tightly. She knew that it would be useless for her to speak further at this point. It would be a waste of time for her to talk more to a merciless, heartless man like Cillian. Yet… would Brendan come and save her?She knew the answer but was still feeling uneasy in her heart. She did not want or need Brendan to come, but on the other hand, she was having a hard time enduring Cillian’s torture. Perhaps she should not have listened to Brendan and come to Eastgene from the start. She had to pay such a great price just to get a divorce.Afterward, Cillian called up Brendan. It was apparent he had already realized Deirdre had been abducte
He had not expected the woman before him to have the nerve to play mind games with him at a moment like this.“I know exactly what you are thinking. You want to run away, right? I can’t believe that you would stoop so low as to use this kind of excuse. What makes you think that I’ll work with Brendan’s woman?”“The devil takes the hindmost. Maybe a second earlier, I was still Brendan’s woman, but since he refused to come to my rescue to save himself, why shouldn't I find another way to save myself?” Deirdre said candidly. She laid herself bare and added, “Mr. King, all I care about is my own safety. To achieve my goal, I’m willing to do anything I can, including betray Brendan.” Cillian squinted his eyes. There was a voice in his mind telling him to guard himself against the woman before him. After all, not everyone could stay as calm as she had when she had been abducted.That being said, he was curious about the things that Deirdre had said.“Then how are you going to take reve
Cillian fell silent. Given his current circumstances, he did not have any better options.It would only take two days to get everything done. Since Deirdre was here with him right now, he was confident that she would not be able to run away from him.In the end, he untied Deirdre’s hands and led her into his car.He took her to the room on the second floor of the private property he owned. Before he left, he warned her. "Deirdre, you'd better not be lying to me. Otherwise, I hope you'll enjoy your last two days. Then, I'll show you what it feels like to live in hell.”He smirked coldly and left. Deirdre rubbed the red welt on her wrist as the indescribable pain spread from her skin to her chest.Brendan did not show up anymore. He had gone off the grid completely. Perhaps he was on his way back to Neve, so she could only depend on herself right now.However, this was something impossible for an ordinary person to handle, let alone a blind woman like her. After she calmed hersel
Even though Deirdre had expected it, her heart still sank a little when the bodyguard told her about it.She had not expected a heartless person like Brendan to show her any compassion, but she had not expected him to leave in his car without any hesitation when she was in danger either.‘He really is the most heartless man I’ve ever met,’ Deirdre thought as her eyes were filled with mockery. “Okay,” she replied. “I know what kind of person Brendan is, so you can tell Mr. King. As long as he can ensure my safety, I have plenty of ways to bring him down from his throne.” The bodyguard turned around and left. Deirdre was still sitting on the bed in the same position even when he came back from the grocery store. Her face was hidden in the shadows, so he could not see her expression right now.He felt a little bit sorry for her, so he said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. As long as everything you said is true and you’re willing to cooperate with Mr. King, he won’t hurt you.”Deir
The bodyguard behind them said, “Yes, she’s telling the truth.”Cillian frowned. His desire disappeared without a single trace, and he felt a bit disgusted. “I know what you want, Mr. King. But we don’t have to rush everything. We can always have more fun after we’ve pulled Brendan down from his throne.”Cillian felt that Deirdre was right. Women were the last thing he would be lacking. However, the satisfaction of being able to trample Brendan under his feet was something that could not be replaced by anything else. “Where is Charli now?” “She’s at a church in Neve.“Church?” Cillian’s face sank. The place was a bit too far away. He said with displeasure, “What is she doing there?”“A while ago, Brendan was seriously ill and almost died in the hospital, so Charli went to the church to pray for him while atoning her sin for running over someone.”It was a good excuse, and Cillian did not press on as he was confident that Deirdre did not dare to lie to him. He went away excit
However, things were different now. She had Kyran with her. If she died, Kyran would be devastated. At the very least, she wanted to say a final goodbye to Kyran before she died. “You want to live? Does Brendan want you to live?” Cillian scoffed. “Well, you can’t blame anyone but yourself. After all, you were the one who chose him to be your man.”Deirdre’s eyelashes trembled. A pang shot through her chest, and she gasped out in pain.“I met with the wrong person. Please give me another chance,” she said.“Another chance?” Cillian grabbed her hair and enunciated each word. “You don’t have any chance anymore!”He took off his tie. “You’ve exhausted my patience. Initially, I planned to have some fun with you. I might keep you for a few more days if you serve me well today. If not, I'll send you to the owner of Mystic Midnight today and force you to serve other people right away!”After he finished speaking, he stretched his arm forward to tear Deirdre's shirt. He was furious. He
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Cillian tutted in a taunting manner. “If you were to come six days ago and tell me this, perhaps I might be touched by your unfaltering devotion. Yet, you’ve only returned after leaving Eastgene for six days. Isn’t it hypocritical of you to speak like this now?”Deirdre widened her eyes and agreed with Cillian’s remark in her heart. ‘Didn’t Brendan give up on me? Didn’t he leave for Neve already?’ She could not understand why he was back again. Brendan was unbothered, and his expression did not even change, but he repeated himself, “What do you want?”Cillian was feeling slightly furious. He put out his cigarette while he sneered. “What do I want? You beat me up violently the other day that my face was swollen for three whole days, Mr. Brighthall. I woke up in pain and lost a few teeth. I figure that I can’t just endure the torment for nothing, right?” Cillian narrowed his eyes and said, “If you were to bow down to me in everyone’s witness, I might consider han
Cillian looked at her and said, “It seems that between you and Charlene, he has chosen you.”Deirdre was shocked and her eyelashes were batting. ‘Am I dreaming? I must be… Brendan is arrogant and overbearing. How can he possibly bow down to someone? How can he bow down to Cillian!?’“Will that be enough?” Brendan looked straight ahead. Even when his back was bent, he was still as charming as ever. “Let her off. Every wrong has its cause. I should be the one to pay back what I owe you.”“Uh…” Cillian feigned his hesitation, but the smirk on his lips remained as wide as ever. “It is surprising that Mr. Brighthall is willing to bow to me. However, I’m afraid that it can be difficult to erase everything that happened when all you do is just bend over.”Brendan’s expression turned sour. “You said that all I have to do is bow down.”“Yes.” Cillian laughed in delight. “However, I didn’t say I’d free Deirdre after you bowed to me. I said I won’t torment Deirdre if you bow down to me wil
