Accompanied by Harriet's cries of alarm, Delbert forcefully imprisoned her hands, lifting them above her head."Delbert, you can't do this!"Harriet, her hands pained by his grip, looked up at him with tear-brimmed eyes.How could he treat her so brutally?How could he so easily shatter all the beautiful promises he once made to her?This wasn’t the Delbert she loved!"Harriet, you belong to me. I’ll do as I please!"Delbert's muscular body pressed down on hers, one hand forcefully pinning her hands down to prevent any chance of escape.His other hand was free to grasp her delicate chin, his voice sinister and mesmerizing, with a bloodthirsty curve to his lips."My delicate Princess Harriet, I’ll show you now who I really am!"I used to suppress my true self desperately, just for fear of scaring you, but now I don't want to act anymore!"From now on, you’ll live with this paranoid and insane me for the rest of your life!""Delbert, let me go!" Harriet, terrified by this col
"Ha!" Harriet mockingly opened her eyes, a desolate look in her watery eyes. She gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Delbert, I have my pride. Even if I love you with all my heart, if you betray me, I’ll leave without hesitation, without looking back!" Seeing Harriet's stubborn attitude, Delbert was displeased in an instant. The madness in his eyes began to burn. His fist slammed heavily against the wall next to Harriet's ear, his voice cold and bloodthirsty, "Very well, then I have no more scruples!" With that, he no longer paid attention to Harriet's resistance and forcefully tore off her clothes! Delbert's actions were rough and cruel, showing no mercy to Harriet. He was clearly reaching the peak of his rage. Harriet clenched her teeth tightly, enduring desperately, determined not to make a sound. In a daze, she felt like a small boat floating in the sea of pain. She seemed to hear Delbert's low voice in her ear, his face buried deep in her chest, his kiss devourin
The maid replied respectfully. This morning, before Delbert left, he had specifically instructed that no matter who came looking for Harriet, this was what they were to be told."Is that so?"Kenny of course knew she was lying, but what he didn't understand was why Delbert suddenly decided to hide Harriet away. Could it be that the ambush by the men in black had frightened him? Was this fool, Harriet, really that important in his heart?"Well then, I suppose I can at least come in for a cup of coffee, right?"Kenny said with a flirtatious smile, his voice low and husky.The maid's face flushed red, and she quickly said, "Please come in, Mr. Kenny."The maid stepped aside to let Kenny in, her heart racing because of his sensually charming voice."Mr. Kenny, please have a seat. I'll go and make you some coffee."After finishing, the maid hurriedly walked away.Watching her flee in panic, Kenny snorted, then shifted his gaze upstairs.Harriet should be in the bedroom on th
After coming down from the second floor, Opal quickly noticed Kenny sitting on the sofa in the hall. She slightly frowned.Why would Kenny appear on the island? Opal became subconsciously alert."Mr. Kenny."She greeted Kenny with a respectful expression.Upon seeing Opal, Kenny revealed a faint smile, then asked, "Why didn’t I see Colleen?"Opal replied, "Colleen made a mistake and was fired by Mr. Delbert.""So, you're the housekeeper now?"Opal somehow felt that every word from Kenny was uncomfortable to hear, and her guard went up even more. She changed the subject, "Mr. Kenny, you must be here to see Mr. Delbert, but he’s already out. I’m afraid you have to come back over the weekend.""Yeah, it isn’t the right timing, but it isn't a wasted trip either. At least I got an unexpected surprise," Kenny said with a slight smile,.After saying that, he gave Opal a meaningful look, a mysterious smile curling on his lips, then he stood up to walk past her."See you, Mr. Kenny.
Delbert spoke up, his fingers involuntarily clenching tighter. Cory replied respectfully, "Ever since you, Mr. Delbert, officially took over the Carlson Group, Shawn has been very dissatisfied. He sent many people to closely monitor you, waiting to catch you at a fault!"As for Kenny, besides his recent trip to the island while you’re away, his recent movements are quite secretive. He seems to be up to something."Delbert's expression darkened slightly, "Keep a close watch on Shawn and Kenny. Don't let them stir up any trouble!""Sure, Mr. Delbert!"Cory was about to turn and leave when Delbert stopped him, "Wait a second."Cory turned back and asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Delbert?"A frown appeared on Delbert’s handsome face, and the drawn-out sound of his breathing made Cory somewhat nervous. What was wrong?"Cory, do you... do you have a girlfriend? I need to ask you something."Hearing that, Cory broke out in a cold sweat. In just a second, he understood that Del
Opal immediately sensed trouble and was about to reach out to stop Molly, but her outstretched hand was blocked by a tall and upright figure. It was none other than Delbert. Opal, startled, quickly said, "Mr. Delbert, Miss Haynes refused to listen to me! She insists on going upstairs. I can't stop her!""It's fine. Let her go upstairs if she wants. If Harriet has someone to talk to, she won't always be thinking about leaving this place," Delbert waved his hand dismissively. He thought that if Molly kept Harriet company, it might cheer her up. He didn't like seeing Harriet always so wan and numb. It seemed that she lost all vitality overnight."Mr. Delbert, perhaps you should consider releasing..." Opal mustered the courage to speak up, but before the words "Miss Harriet" could leave her mouth, Delbert's cold glance frightened her into silence. Without delay, she went about her business.She felt powerless to do anything about saving Harriet as well.With Opal no longer bloc
Leaning on Molly's shoulder, Harriet fell asleep like that. It wasn't until her breathing evened out that Molly carefully lifted her onto the bed and tucked her in. As she moved, she suddenly heard a few crisp metallic clinks and frowned. As Molly slowly pulled back the blanket, the sight that met her eyes made her freeze, a chill spreading down her spine. Harriet's wrists and ankles were shackled with cold, gleaming chains, padded with velvet to prevent injury, but it was still a humiliating sight.Was this Delbert's doing? He was indeed ruthless! Just like his best friend, Marc! No wonder Harriet was in such pain. No girl could endure being treated like this by the man she loved!Molly was furious. After hurriedly closing the bedroom door, she turned and went downstairs. Then she saw Delbert sitting on the sofa in the lobby, smoking a cigarette with furrowed brows, his expression as cold as ice.Molly stormed down the stairs, confronting the seemingly indifferent Delbert
When Harriet woke up, she was alone in the room. If it weren't for the glass of water on the bedside table, she might have thought that Molly's visit was just a dream. She moved slightly, reaching to pull the blanket tighter, but something felt off. Harriet gently lifted the blanket and was momentarily stunned to see that the chains on her hands and feet were gone, replaced by a sense of bewilderment quickly followed by a misting of tears in her eyes. She knew it must have been Molly who saw the chains and argued with Delbert to have them removed.Just then, steady footsteps approached from outside the room. Before Harriet could pretend to be asleep again, the door was pushed open—it was Delbert. He didn’t expect Harriet to be awake. Upon opening the door, he saw her staring blankly at him, her eyes filled with unguarded bewilderment that quickly turned to clarity and wariness.A twinge of pain struck his heart. Was Harriet guarding herself against him?The room fell int
