The night before she left, Laura Quincy had already submitted several resus online and browsed for rental listings. The reason she wanted to move so quickly was to change her environnt as soon as possible.
Every second she stayed in this city, her head felt like it was going to explode.
The train was scheduled for 2:07 PM, so she arrived at the ticket hall with her suitcase around 1 PM to pick up her ticket. As soon as she exited the ticket hall, a group of people covered her mouth and forcibly shoved her into a sedan.
Her first reaction was: Damn! I’m being kidnapped.
"Let go! Mmm..."
She struggled violently, but the n in black paid no attention to her screams, even covering her mouth and eyes with cloth.
Her hands were also tied behind her back.
"Mmm..."
A deep fear welled up inside her. Who were these people? She wasn’t so wealthy heiress, so why would they target her?
Could it be that they had mistaken her for soone else?
Before she could voice her doubts, endless darkness engulfed her...
She could only hope that so passerby had captured her kidnapping on cara and uploaded it online. This might be her only chance of being rescued.
Although she was nervous and scared, she forced herself to stay calm, quickly spinning her mind but finding it in a muddled state...
It’s over!
After roughly a half-hour drive, the car stopped. The place was quite peaceful; she could occasionally hear the sound of waves.
The sound of waves!
She was suddenly shocked. Were they by the sea?
Why had these people brought her to the seaside? How did they know she was at the train station?
Suddenly, the car stopped, and the door opened. A hand grabbed her arm. She struggled desperately, but it was no use; she was dragged out. Because her eyes were covered, she couldn’t see the path, inevitably stumbling along...
"Be careful, hold her steady, don’t hurt her."
Laura Quincy wondered, have kidnappers beco so polite these days?
But then she heard him say, "If you hurt her, we can’t explain it."
Laura felt a surge of fear. Explain to whom?
The implication was that they hadn’t kidnapped the wrong person, but when had she ever offended anyone?
Being dragged forward, Laura’s heart grew more anxious, an unknown fear turning her into sothing like a startled bird...
Once inside sowhere, the footsteps gradually faded away, as if leaving.
After a few seconds of silence, soone walked toward her.
Everything was very quiet; the only sound was the occasional wave breaking against the shore.
But at this mont, Laura had no mood for sightseeing. Being bound at the eyes, mouth, and hands, all she could do was listen to the sounds.
She felt helpless, restless...
Desperately wanting to escape, but finding no strength to use.
Soon, she was taken to a boat. She was sure it was a boat because the mont she stepped on board, she felt it sway...
Once more, the footsteps receded into the distance.
Another person ca closer. Even though the sea’s roar filled her ears, her covered eyes could still sense soone approaching...
Suddenly, there was a sense of familiarity...
For so reason, a na flashed through Laura’s mind, yet she imdiately dismissed it. He couldn’t be so idle as to kidnap her for no reason, right?
"Who are you people?"
"..."
No one answered her.
"Why did you kidnap ? I’m just an empty shell of the Quincy Family heir, even if you threaten my father, you won’t get a penny out of it; he doesn’t care whether I live or die."
"..."
"Bastards! If you have the guts to kidnap , why won’t you say anything?!"
The silent man terrified Laura, and she cursed him out of fear, full of terror, her whole body tense...
She couldn’t understand what his kidnapping ant. She hadn’t made any enemies or held grudges outside...
Her words made the man’s actions pause for a few seconds, then the hand pressing on her lips suddenly applied more pressure, as though punishing her.
Such humiliation! Such freaking humiliation!
"Pervert! Speak up! If you kidnapped , there must be a reason!"
"..."
The man in front of her seed to be suppressing sothing, lines drawn across his face...
This was the first ti Laura had encountered such an incident. Despite her efforts to remain calm, a sense of panic set in, not understanding his intentions...
"Help!"
Paying no heed to whether anyone could hear her, Laura mustered all her strength to shout.
Jason Hawthorne couldn’t hold back anymore, silencing Laura’s mouth directly.
As their lips t, Laura’s mind exploded with recognition; that familiar touch could belong to no other than that bastard, The Demon King!
Bastard!
Has he lost his mind?
Why go to the trouble of kidnapping her?
Using such underhanded tactics as well!
That’s too much!
"Jason Hawthorne! Are you bored or what? You actually used such a sleazy tactic to kidnap ! The more you do this, the more disgusted I beco!"
Laura Quincy angrily scolded. On the way here, she suspected it might be him, but that was only a fleeting thought of eleven percent; she thought he wouldn’t be so petty...
She suspected many people, but she didn’t doubt him as she did others.
Yet the result—
Oh, the irony!
Reality truly gave her a harsh slap in the face!
Jason Hawthorne’s face turned blue then white; it was all Asher Thorne’s idea. He said that Laura just threw tantrums at him; after all, they both have a son together, so how bad could the animosity be?
He also said doing this could create so excitent. Won! They all love fresh and exciting things. From another angle, it’s even quite romantic...
Looking at it this way, it seed he offered himself a rotten idea!
Laura Quincy wasn’t pleased; instead, she got angrier...
"I’ve already made it clear with Stella Jennings that I won’t have any more ties with her; the woman I love is you, and Twinkle’s mom can only be you."
"Enough! I don’t want to hear this at all! I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with Stella Jennings! Just let go imdiately!"
Laura shouted loudly, her disgust toward this man had reached its peak; she only wished to leave here quickly. Every word he spoke was a lie to her!
She didn’t want to believe him anymore!
Jason felt a bit defeated; he raised his hand to remove the black cloth covering Laura’s eyes, "I know it’s hard for you to accept this fact all of a sudden, but Twinkle is our son, don’t you want him to have a complete family?"
Laura was most disgusted by him using Twinkle to lecture her. But he had no right to say these things to her!
Back then, he hypnotized her to give birth to Twinkle and again to forget everything; now that the truth is revealed, he expects her to happily be a ready-made mom?
How can things be so easy in this world?
Even if she feels sorry for Twinkle, it’s one thing for another; she won’t forgive this man!
"Jason Hawthorne, if you have any sense of sha left, don’t use Twinkle to make an issue! He’s the one most innocent! Every child is the crystallization of parental love, do you want to tell Twinkle he’s just a whim of yours? You’ve already instilled the idea that his biological mother is deceased; what are you trying to do now?"
Every word of Laura’s turned Jason’s face dark; he felt sothing indescribable...
"I never told Twinkle his mom was gone."
"Even if not you said it, it was still your approval that allowed others to say so! No matter what, your behavior is contemptible to the extre!"
"... ..."
Jason’s heart jumped with angry beats; it was his first ti being scolded like this by a woman...
And he couldn’t refute it.
This feeling was truly horrible!
Bound Laura simply turned her face away, refusing to pay him any attention; they stood in a stalemate for a while until Jason walked over and untied the rope on her hands.
Gaining her freedom, Laura coldly said, "Dock the ship imdiately, I don’t want to stay with you for even a second longer!"
Jason’s face was gloomy, "What if I don’t?"
Laura walked a few steps to the front of the deck and said coldly, "Then I’ll jump from here!"
Jason paused his steps; he didn’t believe such words at all, "Jump? Can you swim? And it’s winter now."
He said as he walked forward.
Laura seed determined, at this mont she’d rather jump into the sea than stay with this man another second!
She climbed onto the railing, ready to jump down unhindered...
Jason’s face darkened, "Get down."
The tone carried a command not to be disobeyed.
"Bastard! You can’t interfere with my freedom!"
Laura exclaid loudly, her least favorite thing was being interfered with, especially by the man in front of her, who was a complete liar!
Jason frowned with displeasure, confident she wouldn’t jump, considering it’s winter.
Laura suddenly smirked, then leaned backward, her arms spread wide, and dropped into the blue sea with a beautiful, poignant pose.
"Splash!" With a water sound, waves splashed several ters high.
Jason’s face was black as ink, "Damn woman!"
How could she be so stubborn!
Jumping into the sea in winter?
Can she even swim?
Does being with him really make her that disgusted?
In desperation, he quickly unbuttoned his coat, took off his shoes, and jumped into the sea with a splash...
At that mont, Laura was sinking like a stone; she waved her arms desperately, kick her legs hard, but her body still swayed helplessly.
She took deep breaths, inhaling a lot of seawater, which was extrely uncomfortable.
It’s winter; the seawater may not be bone-chilling, but it’s not warm either...
Swimming was indeed hard.
Just when she was about to suffocate, soone kissed her mouth, injecting fresh air down her throat...
She greedily inhaled the air.
Jason could only pull the stone-like her upwards, pushing her away before she used up all the air within him.
As soon as she left the air, Laura opened her eyes, eting Jason’s deep, water-like black eyes, holding a touch of thin anger...
