The entire hall was filled with the strong aroma of the barbeque Mya had eaten earlier, something no one in the prison would eat."When would you like her to come visit you?""Let's see when Madelyn's available. She's a very busy person, and I don't want to disrupt her schedule," Mya said.Mya suddenly thought about something and added, "Fred, what did the doctor say about my baby? Is it still alive in my body?"Fred smiled. "Do you like this baby?"Mya nodded. "Yeah.""Stay here then. The doctor said you need to take good care of yourself during this time and not go anywhere."Mya touched her stomach as a worried and conflicted expression grew on her face. "But I miss Mom and Dad. I want to go home.""Your stomach won't stop hurting unless you listen to the doctor. I'll have your parents come to visit you tomorrow. How about that?""Never mind. Mom said that Dad has heart problems and shouldn't run around." Mya lay on Fred's lap and raised her hand toward him. "Fred, I've bee
Mya curled up in the wardrobe, her body pressing against the wardrobe door. "Is he gone?"Just as she muttered, the wardrobe was suddenly opened, and a strong light hit Mya. She anxiously tightened her grip on the pocket watch in her hand."I-I didn't mean to, Fred, please don't hit me. I won't sneak downstairs for snacks again." Mya shrank into the corner of the wardrobe, protecting her head."Come out, I won't do anything to you!" Fred frowned when he saw her like this."Do you promise not to hurt me?"Mya sounded like she was about to cry, and Fred reluctantly agreed, "Fine.""Let me pass." After coming out of the wardrobe, Mya, holding the pocket watch, kept her distance from Fred.Mya pointed to the ground beneath him, saying, "Just stand there and don't come over.""I won't budge."Fred had never listened to a woman like this before.Mya glanced at the photo inside the pocket watch and smiled, revealing the dimples on the corners of her lips. Then, she hung the pocket w
"Jennifer, listen to me. My plan was flawless. It's all that idiot's fault. Please save me. I swear, once I get out, I'll do anything for you. I'll be at your beck and call."In Seventh Prison, Luke was holding a phone in his prison uniform. He was desperately pleading with the elegantly dressed woman in front of him. Over the past few months, he had become unable to bear his life in prison. He once looked quite good. But now, he looked haggard. His chin was covered in stubble. He was no longer able to attract women with his current disarrayed appearance.Jennifer was wearing sunglasses. And she had bodyguards behind her. She crossed her arms and spoke arrogantly, "I'm here to warn you. My father told me to warn you not to say things you shouldn't on the day of the court verdict. Otherwise, your penniless relatives will suffer the same consequences as you.""You..." Luke was so shocked by her sudden change in attitude that he could not speak."In the beginning, my father saw potent
Fred continued thinking, 'She has a bad memory, after all. She'll forget everything that happened.'However, this time, he had overestimated himself and underestimated the importance of that photo to Mya.Riley went upstairs and knocked on the door. When he entered the room, he saw Fred wearing a bathrobe looking gloomy. He suppressed his voice and reported, "Mr. Turner, he's here."The villa occupied half of the prison area. It was very late now.Fred glanced at the dark corridor. He decided to keep walking.He then went to the dark, damp prison. Luke was awakened by a bone-chilling bucket of cold water. He immediately saw Fred sitting in a chair and asked, "Where am I? Why'd you guys bring me here? Who the hell are you people?"Fred took the long whip from Riley and lashed it at Luke without any hesitation. Luke then let out a horrifying scream in the enclosed prison.With each lash that Fred made, it was as if he was venting his anger.Mya's hysterical yell, expressing her i
Fred wondered, 'Is the young man in the photo really so important to you?'After he finally warmed Mya's frozen hands, he separated her fingers and noticed she was still holding the torn photo tightly in her palm. He coldly squinted and threw all the remaining fragments out of the car window.He said, "I'll deal with you after you wake up."When they arrived at the center of the city, Mya's body had already warmed up, but her body was extremely hot. After missing for more than ten hours, she was very lucky to be rescued.When Mya woke up, her head felt heavy and had a brain fog, "B-Bad guy..."Fred felt her forehead with his rough palm as he said, "Are you awake?"Mya responded, "Y-You're the person I hate the most."Fred replied, "Stop talking. We'll be at the hospital soon."Mya had a high fever and lost consciousness very soon. After they arrived at the hospital, she was admitted to a ward where a doctor gave her a fever-reducing injection.Fred sat on a chair beside her an
Fred's men remained indifferent when they listened to Simon's and Grace's pleas, "Sorry. We can't make any decision on this matter. I'll leave the contract here. When you've made up your mind, feel free to call the number on it. Our people will then contact you."Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Harper."After they left, Simon angrily tore the agreement into fragments, "These people are outlaws. They kidnapped my daughter and still had the audacity to say those arrogant words."Grace wiped her tears and immediately helped Simon sit on the sofa, "Simon, don't get too agitated. Mya is blessed. She'll surely be fine."Simon took deep breaths. Grace quickly took out the heart medication from his pocket and fed it to him.She thought, 'We're not sure if Mya is still alive or dead. He can't go down. This family can't lose its pillar.'Grace continued saying, "Simon, maybe Mya's friend can find her."Simon suddenly remembered, "Are you talking about the young lady from Jardin Corporation? But we
Fred's sudden cold tone made him look terrifying.Mya stopped walking. She appeared weak and her face was pale. She looked wronged and afraid as she stared at Fred, "You're a bad guy, just like Luke Graham. I don't want to be friends with you anymore."Mya tried to run out in her hospital clothes. As soon as she opened the door, she was stopped by someone outside.Fred said, "Go back to bed, now.""I don't want to listen to you! Let me go home!" Mya pouted. She looked like she was about to cry anytime soon, "What are you going to do? Don't come here! Don't come near me. I hate you now."Mya ran to a corner to distance herself from him. She then grabbed a vase nearby to defend herself, "If you come closer, I'll smash you with this!"Fred merely took a step forward. And this triggered her defensive response. This was completely different from the behavior of his other female companions back in Ventropolis Prison who would always cling to him.He said, "Put it down and come here ob
Mya said, "Fred, don't hit me. I won't do it again. If you hit me, it'll hurt me for a long time. I-I don't want that."Mya clutched the curtain in the corner as she shivered.When Fred saw her lose her senses, a surge of inexplicable anger overwhelmed him. It made him feel frustrated.Mya did not dare to speak. She just pressed herself tightly against the corner and said, "I'll be obedient from now on."I'm stupid, forgive me."Mya did not dare to look at him. She did not even know why Fred was so angry. She did not want to be locked up in a small dark room again. She was terrified.A loud sound was heard as the door slammed closed. Mya was startled. When she looked over, Fred was already gone.She then timidly looked at the bed. Fred's fierce expression earlier had caused her mind to suddenly flash back to images of her past abuse—a long whip lashed her body. The terrifying voice of threats that not obeying meant going hungry and enduring a beating echoed in her mind.When Ri
