Chapter 59 Shivering , she struggled inside the bathtub to get away but as soon as she stepped out of it, he 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 on the mirror while whispering into her ear devilishly, “Just look at yourself. Stop playing hard to get.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“That‘s not it...Anthony Marwood, 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 mean 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 the last strand of light inside the room.
The shadow loomed over her fragile body as the devil
extended his hand to grab her by the neck, forcing her to sit up–straight She could feel his chest pressing against her back to the point where she could even feel the muscles on his chest and his abdomen burning on skin. Her fear deepened as she tried to ran. “No...”
She did not know what he wanted to do, but she knew it was nothing good.
However, Anthony did not loosen his grip on her and simply moved his hand up to grab her jaw, before forcing her chin up as he shoved a pill down her throat.
“Umph!”
She struggled even harder and kicked her legs in the air.
“Swallow it!” He commanded.
She did as he commanded and swallowed the pill.
Anthony let her go and she immediately crawled to the side, coughing and sobbing.
The door was pushed open and a woman in heels slipped into the room quietly. She stepped toward the bed and poured the glass of water she held in her hand onto Sarah‘s face while she was still asleep.
“Ugh! What on earth is going on?!” Sarah jolted awake, wondering why there was water in the room. Just as she thought that the ceiling might be leaking, she saw Michelle standing by the bed and screamed , “Michelle Grainger, I‘m going to kill you!”
“Why are you so grumpy? I‘m just waking you up with my own way,” Michelle said, “do you know what time it is now?”
“Get out!” Sarah pointed at the door sharply.
“Why should I? I will be marrying into the Marwood Family soon and there‘s only one heir to this family. You are just a step–mother to him, how dare you use that tone with me?”
Sarah was at the brinks of exploding from rage. If she truly allowed Michelle to marry into this family, she knew that her life would be miserable.
“Are you really that naive? You just believe in whatever Anthony told you? I‘m willing to bet anything that he won‘t actually marry you!”
“It doesn‘t matter if he marries me, as long as what I do pleases him!”
Sarah knew that Michelle meant that she was entertaining Anthony by torturing Sarah. “Just why are you dead set on marrying into this family? You put yourself and Anne in such a horrible situation. I
pity her, you know. I wonder if she‘s even alive by now!” Despite the words she said, there was not any sign of sympathy on Michelle‘s face.
“What are you talking about?”
“You haven‘t heard? Anne tried to run away last night and was caught by Anthony. She was punished immediately once he brought her back. Maybe you will have to go and collect her dead body soon!” Sarah froze and thought to herself, ‘Anne tried to escape last night? And she got caught? Why don‘t I know about this? Anne didn‘t tell me anything!
She turned to grab her phone and called Anne, but no one answered.
Michelle was overjoyed to see how worried Sarah was.
Sarah hurried to Aesthetic Clinic without stopping for lunch and the receptionist there told her that Anne had called in sick.
Sarah then went to Anne‘s apartment and found out that Anne‘s phone was still inside the apartment, which meant that she was still in the Royal Mansion.
The phone on the coffee table suddenly started ringing and when Sarah went to take a look, she saw the word ‘ Mom‘ on the screen.
Stunned, Sarah thought to herself, ‘Mom? Anne‘s mom?‘
She picked up the phone, but remained silent. “Anne? Where are you now? Is this a good time to talk?”
The voice that came from the other end of the line sounded familiar, but Sarah would not have known who it was had she not seen the contact‘s name on the phone. “Cheyenne?” Cheyenne was startled when she heard Sarah‘s voice and immediately hung up. “Hello? Cheyenne, is it you? Hello??” Sarah stared at the phone and grabbed onto it so hard that she almost crushed it.
‘It‘s Cheyenne ! Didn‘t she run away? Why is she calling Anne? When have they started talking?‘ She thought while standing still, her hands trembling.
On the other side, the triplets looked at their grandmother curiously.
“Grandma, was it Mama?” Charlie asked.
Cheyenne snapped out of her dazed state and reeled in her emotions as soon as she met their innocent eyes.”
It‘s Mama‘s friend. She said that your mom is busy now.”
“But Mama said she is taking us onto a plane,” Chloe said.
“Is Mama in trouble?” Chris asked.
“Of course, not. Why would she be in trouble...” Cheyenne
said.
Just then, her phone rang and when she saw the caller shown as ‘Anne‘, she immediately hung up.
Knowing that Sarah was the one calling, Cheyenne immediately shut her phone down like she was running away from a haunting ghost.
She was glad that she did not let it slip about the children because Anne told her that she was to not mention the existence of the triplets to anyone.
