Chapter 35
Once her eyes were covered, all that lay before her was a darkness so complete that not even a
glimmer of light could be
seen.
The fear of darkness plunged her into an endless abyss, making her feel as if she were struggling in
vain to escape.
It was only then that she realized she had encountered a freak even more terrifying and harder to
handle than James!
Terror caused her to break out in a cold sweat, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
Her eyes were blindfolded and her hands were bound, leaving her completely immobile.
She tried to calm herself and attempted to communicate with him.
“Sir.”
She clenched her jaw and demanded in a quavering tone, “What in the world are you doing?”
He picked her up without answering her.
Scarlett felt herself being lifted into the air and then thrown onto the soft bed.
She thought the man wanted to violate her, yet he remained seated beside her without touching her.
Scarlett felt the front of the bed sinking beneath her, confirming that she was lying in the middle.
Moving to the pillow, she remembered she had hidden the knife there, enabling her to cut the wire.
Using the strength of her legs, she quickly moved up.
Just as her head was about to rest on the pillow, the man abruptly pressed down on her body.
She felt him press down and then heard his hoarse voice.
“You asked James to come to the hotel and ‘spiked’ the wine. What do you
Scarlett was taken aback for an instant.
mean?”
Why is he asking about something that has nothing to do with him when he should be committing a
perfect crime? Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Could James have seen through her plan and sent this man deliberately to ask about her intentions?
Impossible!
If James had been aware that she wanted to kill him, he would have had someone dismember her and
feed her to the dogs.
“It’s just a remedy to liven things up.”
She forced herself to calm down and then responded.
She had no idea who the man was and would never divulge the truth to him.
The man seemed to sneer, “It’s the same old act and drugs. Seems like you guys are always up for a
good time.”
Believing her words, Scarlett pursed her lips and said nothing.
The man’s anger was palpable in the silence that ensued, and her chin was suddenly gripped by a cold
hand.
Scarlett, pondering if the man intended to pinch her to death, was interrupted by the ringing of a cell
phone.
The quiet atmosphere in the room was instantly broken.
He let go of her chin and retrieved her phone.
Scarlett noticed that he seemed to want to pick up the phone and pleaded, “It’s Mr. Forrest. He has
something pressing to tell me. Could you let me take it?”
The man saw her nervous expression and his hoarse voice suddenly grew icy. “What? Are you scared
he’ll discover your
affair?”
“No!”
Scarlett was extremely anxious, but she was still attempting to keep her feelings in check. “Please, let
me take this call. If I don’t pick it up, my friend will be in a real bind. Let me finish this call. After that,
you can make me do whatever you want!”
She kept pleading, causing the man to relax somewhat.
Scarlett thought he would untie her, but she hadn’t anticipated that he would merely press the answer
button and activate. the speaker.
Before she could utter a word, James’ swearing voice came from the other side.
“Scarlett, you scoundrel, how could you deceive me? Do you really think I would let your best friend
and her spouse perish on their wedding night?”
The deafening voice seemed to be tearing her apart.
Scarlett was so frightened that her heart was quivering. She was worried that something might befall
Susan and Cosmo, so she quickly composed herself and uttered in a pleasant tone. “Mr. Forrest, I was
just about to send you the address when you phoned. I’m at the Royal Hotel, room 2088. Please come
quickly.”
James gritted his teeth in rage. “Listen, I’ve already dispatched my brothers to Susan’s wedding venue.
If I don’t see the contract when I get there, I’ll have someone take care of them. Women will be raped
and killed, and the men will be cut to shreds. Got it?
