The Woman From Hell

Chapter 107

Without thinking much about it, I drove out and received a message from Theo while I was on the way there. He asked me to wait for him in the Greek restaurant near the office.

It was a private restaurant. From the alley, it looked just like an ordinary courtyard. If Theo had not sent the address, I would not have been able to find it.

Soon after I arrived, a young man came out and asked me if I was Miss Lane. I told him yes and he proceeded to lead me into a very sophisticated-looking private room. He told me that Mr. Grant had ordered our meal and I just had to wait for a moment.

Right after I sat down, my phone rang. When I looked a t the caller ID, my heart jolted and I almost dropped m y phone to the floor.

I knew what was to come could not be avoided.

Tyler finally appeared. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

My entire body trembled as my hands squeezed the phone. I stared at his number, and an image of Tyler’s face popped up in my head.

For a moment, I almost wanted to reject the call.

However, I knew very well that if he was looking for m e, he was not going to stop. I knew that hanging up the

phone would not solve the problem.

I suppressed my fear, and after I calmed myself down, I answered the phone. I asked in a shaky voice," Where are you? What do you want?"

"You don't have to be so nervous, Wandy. I was just thinking about you." At the other end of the line came Tyler's playful laugh.

I had always been afraid of his laugh. It made him seem like he was plotting something. I said in a deep voice, "Tyler, it's been so many years. We're not kids anymore. We have our own lives, so can’t we just live our own lives and mind our own businesses?"

It was hell when I was with him and I had to work really hard to escape that prison. I had no intentions o f going back to how I lived before this.

"Wandy, we’ll always be family and we’re destined to cross paths. Do you know how much pain I’ve been in all these years without you? I... can't stay away from you. I need you," Tyler said those words that were heavy with emotions and tinged with affection.

However, they meant something else in my ears.

The helplessness and fear I was feeling almost broke me. I asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want?"

Tyler was like a ghost as his presence only made others afraid and suffocated.

"You should know very well what I want!" He finally got angry. After he said that in a cold voice, he hung u

p the phone.

Before I could react, I received a message from him. [ Wait for my notice.]

As I looked at those heart-stopping words, my heart sank and my face turned pale. I froze and did not know what to do.

When Theo arrived, he was worried when he saw how stunned I looked. "You don't look so good. Are you not feeling well?"

I shook my head. I calmed myself down and said, "It's nothing. I probably just didn't sleep well yesterday."

Since Tyler was already here, I knew it was impossible to hide it anymore. I knew that I must find a way to solve this problem once and for all.

Otherwise, Cecilia and I would never be able to live in peace.

"Let's eat lunch and you can go back to rest for a while when we're done." Theo placed some pitta bread in front of me.

"Theo, there's something..." I was in no mood to eat and wanted to ask Theo for help.

Unfortunately, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw that his phone was ringing, he gestured for me to wait. Then, he got up and went outside to answer the call.

I had no choice but to lower my head and eat.

Half an hour later, he finally came back with an apologetic look on his face as he said, "Something came up at the office and I have to go back immediately. Take your time to finish the food before you go back. I’ll come back to pick you up in the evening. We’ll be going to a party."

I was preoccupied with my thoughts and was in no mood to go to a party. I whispered, "I'm not feeling well."

He looked at me. "Are you feeling that sick? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

I shook my head. "I'll be fine if I rest for a while. I just don't feel like going out. Is the party important?"

After all, Theo was a businessman and had social engagements. It was necessary for him to bring me along since I was his wife. Most importantly, wives getting together was also a way of striking a business deal.

His brows furrowed tightly. After he pondered for a moment, he said, "It’s nothing. You can go back and rest. I have to go now." i

After he said that, he got up and went out. He looked like he was in a hurry from the way he walked. It seemed that there was indeed something urgent.

I was supposed to ask Theo for help, but even after leaving the place, I did not even have a chance to say what was on my mind.

With a sigh, I got up and helplessly left.

Just after I arrived home, I received a message from

Tyler. [Go outside. Someone's here to pick you up.]
