Anne's blood ran cold as she stuttered, "Wh-why are you… doing this?""Why? Because it's fun! Don't you think it's fun? Did you really think I was going to betray Anthony for you? How naive!" Tommy shook his head and sighed.Anne's eyes widened in disbelief as tears scrolled down her cheeks. She had always thought that a gentleman like Tommy could not have been related to Anthony, but it turned out she had been wrong.They were both sick!"Oh, my. Are you crying? How pathetic…" Tommy reached out to touch her cheek.Anne pushed his hand away and kicked the car door…"Ow!" The car door slammed onto Tommy, and he stumbled backward. His expression darkened viciously as he opened the car door to drag Anne out, raising his hand about to slap her across the face. However, before he could land a blow, someone grabbed him by the wrist.Tommy stilled and turned to look at the person who grabbed him. "Anthony?""She's not yours to torment." Anthony shoved him aside."Are you pushing me
He could not possibly let anyone who dared to challenge him go unpunished.Anne curled up on the side, psyching herself up for the punishment she would face later.What would happen to her was not the most important. At that very moment, her mother and her three children were waiting for her at the airport.Meanwhile, Cheyenne was waiting at the airport with the children in a fried chicken restaurant. The triplets stuffed their mouths with a mouthful of chicken while muttering to one another."Grandma, when will Mama be here?" Charlie asked."We've been waiting so long," Chris said."Grandma, is Mama not coming?" Chloe asked worriedly."Of course, she will be here. Let's just wait for a while longer." Cheyenne did not dare to call Anne because Anne specifically said to wait for her call.Anne was supposed to arrive within forty minutes, and it had already been two hours.'Did something go wrong?' Cheyenne thought to herself. The Rolls Loyce stopped before Royal Mansion, and
Anne had no interest in Anthony or Michelle. What she wanted was that they did not hurt her or the people she loved.She lowered her head.She had hidden her phone under the passenger seat inside Tommy's car earlier. Anne could not help but wonder if her mother would keep waiting for her at the airport. She looked up again and could not bring herself to move when she spotted the bodyguards not far away from her.She started regretting not standing at the corner instead.However, Anne did tell Cheyenne to go home if she did not show up within three hours.Anne had never imagined that her escape plan would be ruined at the hands of Tommy. Her heart ached at the thought of his concern for her. He barged into the Royal Mansion to help her, and he drove through a wall to stop Anthony from hurting her… Was it all just for fun?She had to admit that Tommy was a wasted talent not to become an actor.Anne found it unbelievable. She had originally thought that Anthony was the only socio
Shivering, Anne struggled inside the bathtub to get away, but as soon as she stepped out of it, Anthony grabbed her by the back of her neck."Ugh! No…" she shouted.He pressed her up against the countertop, forcing her to face her reflection in the mirror while whispering into her ear devilishly, "Just look at yourself. Stop playing hard to get.""That's not it… Anthony, let me go! It's enough…" She closed her eyes from the humiliation and turned away from the sight of her tortured body."You know that this is far from enough," he continued in a low, emotionless voice that sent shivers down her spine.She still remembered what happened two years ago and knew exactly what Anthony meant by what he said.Her tears scrolled down her cheeks and fell onto the floor.Shortly after, she was tossed onto the bed, her clothes barely hanging onto her body. She struggled to move her fingers and tried to grab onto the bed frame but was beat by the approaching shadow behind her that eliminated
She could not keep her phone turned off at all times and had no choice but to switch it back on again at night.Cheyenne knew that she could not call Anne's old number anymore, but calling the new number was just as risky.If Anne was not in danger, she would surely call to reassure Cheyenne. At the moment, Cheyenne could only wait at home.At noon, a maid went into the bedroom and came close to screaming when she walked in and saw the bed.The maid frantically covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming, and only set her hand down once she had fully calmed down.The bed was a mess, and so was the young woman who was laying on it. All signs of life had been drained from her, and there were countless red marks on her arm, which looked awfully distinctive on her pale skin.The maid approached Anne carefully.Anthony had left the night before, so the maid had not expected Anne to still be asleep, not to mention showing no sign of waking up at all.It was far too strange, and
It was just a short moment, but she felt exhausted. The quilt fell to the ground, while Anne dressed with her back facing the mirror. The slender and graceful body in the mirror was thoroughly marked. It showed how crazy Anthony was! After Anne calmed down, she left the Royal Mansion.A car came to pick her up.She was in no condition to walk to the side of the road to call a taxi. Anne got out of the car and walked toward the apartment building. "Anne!" Anne turned around and saw Sarah, who got out of the car and walked toward her. "Aunt Sarah." "What did Anthony do to you?" Sarah looked her up and down. "What's wrong with your throat? Are you sick? Did Anthony hurt you? He's a psychopath!" "I'm fine." Anne's eyes flickered. 'Aunt Sarah must have known about me escaping and being arrested,’ thought Anne to herself. She could not talk about the physical and mental humiliation she endured. "It's fine. I've been here twice. I was very close to calling the poli
Anne bore the pain and went downstairs. She left through the back door and hailed a taxi. Seeing this, Sarah immediately followed behind in the car. ‘Anne must be going to see Cheyenne! ‘Since I failed to persuade Anne, I can just drive Cheyenne away!’ thought Sarah to herself. After getting out of the car, Anne went upstairs. When she got to the apartment, she took out the key and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, she saw Cheyenne coming out of the room. "Anne?" Anne breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door. "Mom, are you all right?" "I am. The children just fell asleep. What happened? I haven't been able to contact you." Anne hurried into the room to see the children. Seeing the children sleeping on the bed, she hugged and kissed them. Sniffing the familiar scents from them, Anne finally got that weight off her shoulder. Her eyes teared up. "Anthony found me." Cheyenne was shocked. "Didn't you say that Tommy would help you?" "It was him who tip
"You are just afraid that I will expose your secret!" Cheyenne uttered. Sarah tried her best to restrain her urge to hit her as she thought inwardly, ‘What secret? Is she threatening me?’ "Sarah, I have no other intentions. I know my place. I just hope you don't drive me away," Cheyenne pleaded. "That's non-negotiable! You have to disappear from Anne's life!" Sarah disagreed. "Then there is nothing left for me to say." Cheyenne turned away without looking at Sarah again. The latter was so angry that she kicked over the trash can next to her. A bad smell wafted, making her nauseous, and she immediately got into the car. After returning home, Sarah was still fuming. How could she allow Cheyenne to keep on meeting Anne? She had to cut her off from Anne! Anne went to Cheyenne's place in the middle of the night. Cheyenne did not mention anything when she saw her. When Chloe woke up in the morning, she raised her head to see her mother sleeping, and her eyes lit up. "
