Night falls.
A series of roar breaks the silence of night.
“Let me out! How can you lock me up here?” Aileen pounds the door as she shouts.
The servants in the villa act nonchalant, minding their own business as if they can’t hear anything.
“Do you know that it’s illegal to confine a person?” She shouts at the door. She shouts until she loses
her strength. Afterall she has been shouting all day long today.
Aileen doesn’t understand why Richard treats her like this. Her phone is confiscated when she is
brought to this room. She has no way to contact anyone, it’s like being put in a jail.
“Why is it so unfair?” She thinks of Aaron at this very moment. She wonders how he is doing right now.
Just then, the door opens a crack suddenly.
Aileen wants to go out, but is blocked by the people outside. They just put down some food and leaves.
Looking at delicacies like lobsters, crabs and boiled chicken, she has no appetite at all. Because she
loses her freedom.
She doesn’t even know the meaning of staying here. But she can’t escape from here.
Just when she feels completely in the dark, she sees the window and comes up with an idea. It is time
to take a risk. She can’t stay in this hellhole forever.
Aileen ties up her sheets, gets ready to jump off the window. She thrusts her head to see if there is
anyone down there. Fortunately there is no one. She can try to escape if everything stays the same.
Fortunately she is on the second floor, so jumping from it wouldn’t be so difficult.
When Aileen finally climbs from above, she sees Richard shows up right after she stands up straight.
“Where are you going with this?” Richard says in a faint tone.
She feels that the man in front of her is very strange.
“I…” Aileen doesn’t understand why she would stutter at this moment. He should be the one that feels
guilty.
“I don’t want to be engaged with you anymore.” She already sorts everything out in that room, she
doesn’t want to be manipulated by him anymore.
Richard doesn’t have anything to say, as if he wants to wait for her to continue. “I realize that I was
simply grateful to you. There is no love between us, so please just let me go.”
“I never said that you are not allowed to leave.” He shrugs to show his innocence.
“Let’s say nothing ever happens between us.” She doesn’t want him to be responsible at all. Aileen has
to take this chance to clear things up. She finally sees the true features of him now. Confining her,
taking freedom away from her, no one can stand days like this.
Richard nods and agrees.
“Since that’s that, I won’t stay here to bother you.” She turns around as she says, not wanting to stay
here for long.
But when she tries to walk out, two tall figures stand in front of her.
“Didn’t you say that you are letting me go?” She says angrily.
“I can let you go, but only under one condition.” Richard says patiently.
This is not the tone of negotiation. It’s a threat.
Aileen’s heart is filled with disdain. How can he threaten her? Is it possible to use violence against her?
“I suppose you know who my brother is. If he knows how you treat his sister, he will never let you go.”
Aileen knows her brother’s position in this city. She can use his name to intimidate others at critical
moments.
Richard raises his eyebrows, “It seems that you are not that stupid. But your brother may not even be
able to protect himself currently.”
It really surprises Aileen. My brother can’t protect himself. This doesn’t make sense.
“What is your real purpose?” Aileen has no choice but to ask straightforwardly. He uses every possible
mean to approach her, tries to have sex with her, then engage with her. What is it for?
At first she naively thinks that he likes her. She never expects he fooled her from the beginning to the
end.
“Actually I never want to give you a hard time. All you need to do is promise me one thing. You can
come and leave as you wish. No one will stop you.” Richard says with his lips pressed.
“Do you think I will agree to your request?” Aileen changes her attitude, “You won’t get what you want
even if you lock me up for a lifetime.”
The man in front of her doesn’t love her. She doesn’t understand why she used to love him. She must
have been blinded by love.
“I really regret not taking my sister-in-law’s advice at that time. She always tells me to look out.” Aileen
says with her teeth clenched, looks at him resentfully.
Even Richard can feel the hatred emanating from her pupils.
“I can’t believe your love fades so quickly.” Richard walks over to approach her, taps on her chin with
his hand. But she rejected him impatiently.
“Don’t touch me. Makes me feel dirty.”
What a stubborn girl.
“I know you don’t want to stay here anymore. But I really need you to do something for me.” He leans
close to her and whisper, but she feels disgusted.
“Just tell me what you need in person, don’t…”
He ignores what she says, still leans close to her ear, and continues to speak in a low voice.
The hot breath approaches her skin, which makes her feel like an electric current run through her body.
She wants to push him away, but he grabs both of her hands first.
After hearing what he says, her eyes are about to sparkle. In the end, she pushes him away angrily.
“So this is your real purpose. I didn’t expect you to be such a despicable person.” Aileen really hates
that she doesn’t see this scumbag clearly earlier!
