Chapter 2


    Chapter 2


    One end of the alley was a dead end.


    Therefore, she ran out toward the busy street. Once on the main road, she could get a taxi and run


    away!


    However, when she arrived at the main road, she could not find a taxi.


    The men were still chasing her!


    Anne was desperately looking for somewhere to hide.


    She happened to see a parked Rolls Loyce down the road, looking like a hunting predator in the night.


    She ran toward it with no hesitation and hid on the other side of the car.


    Anne was catching her breath while leaning at the side of the car. The windows were opaque and she


    could not see anything inside. All she could see was her panic reflection.


    The phone in her bag rang, and she quickly answered it in shock. She slowly peeked out and saw the


    bodyguard searching around for her. She quickly hid behind the car once again.


    On the other end of the phone, Sarah asked, “Anne, where did you go? I can’t find you in the washroom!”


    “Aunt, I…I left.”


    “You left? To the hotel? You shoulde home with me! I even prepared a room for you, the same room


    you used to stay in…”


    As she was listening to Sarah, she felt movement behind her. A very tiny sound was heard as the car


    window rolled down.


    Anne jolted. She was listening to her phone while turning back to have a look.


    The feature of the man inside was revealed as the window rolled down slowly. His beauty was just as


    stunning in the darkness.


    His darkening eyes instantly halted Anne’s breathing. She could no longer understand what Sarah was


    saying.


    “Ah!” Anne cried out in shock as she staggered backward.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “Anne? Are you alright?” Sarah asked anxiously.


    Anne quickly ended the call and kept her phone in her bag before turning to leave.


    However, when she stood up, the bodyguards saw her and ran toward her, stopping her from running.


    The car door opened, and Anthony came out of the car.


    “Do you know it is dangerous to run away from me?”


    His voice was low and chilling.


    Anne turned to him, she asked in fear, “Why did you…”


    Anthony grabbed her face and pulled her to him…


    “Argh!”


    He was so forceful that she thought her bones were breaking.


    “I thought you’re nevering back!” Anthony’s dark eyes glinted eerily as he leaned into her ear and


    whispered, “Anne Vallois.”


    She turned pale when she felt his warm breath by her ear, along with his demon-like voice.


    Anthony grabbed the back of her neck and forcefully threw her into the car…


    “Argh!”


    It was spacious inside. Anne fell onto the car mat before Anthony came back in, shutting the door.


    The car sped away and disappeared into the night. This seemed like a nned kidnap.


    Anne looked out the window in fear and asked, “Where are you taking me? Let me out!”


    Anthony pressed himself on her, exuding a fearful aura. He sped his fingers on her chin, forcing her to


    look him in his eyes. He asked eerily, “Are you telling me what to do?”


    “N…no…”


    “Didn’t you used to call me brother when you stayed with us? Let me hear it again?”


    “No…no…I left the Marwood family long ago. I came here to attend the party. I am sorry. I won’te


    back to Luton again, I swear!” No matter how hard she tried to hold back, her body still shivered.


    “You are afraid of me? Hmm?” Anthony pulled up her chin like a predator messing with his shivering


    prey.


    Anne dared not to make a sound. Anthony was as scary as a demon.


    After all these years, he had gotten even scarier. She could never forget the pain she was inflicted with


    back in the Marwood mansion.


    Especially now that she had three children of his.


    The fear of uncertainties overwhelmed her…


    “I beg you, let go of me. I will vanish from Luton and nevere back. I beg you…” Anne had tears of


    hurt in her eyes, and her fair and beautiful neck stiffened as she pleaded.


    Her hands behind her back clutched onto her bag tightly. She tried to keep the bag away from Anthony’s


    sight as if the truth would be exposed if he saw the bag…


    Anthony stroked her chin with his fingers, just like a knife held against her neck.


    “Since you’re back, don’t try to run away,” Anthony growled coldly, he pushed her face away with disgust.


    Anne teared up as she sobbed, “I beg you…”


    Anthony merely leaned back on the seat as he looked at this anxious woman coldly.


    The headlights from the Rolls Loyce prated the darkness. Twenty minutester, it drove into the


    most expensive and priceless private residential area.


    Anne remained in the car seat as she fearfully looked at Anthony as he went out.


    “Are you waiting for an invitation to exit the car?” His hostile voice was heard as his figure blended into


    the darkness.


    Anne saw the now-opened door moving slightly. She reached out to open the other door and went out


    from the other side.


    This was the closest door to where she was, so she did not have to climb over to the other end.


    She grabbed her bag and went out of the car. After closing the car door, she quickly took out her phone


    from her bag to turn it off.


    The nighttime here was the morning overseas. She was afraid of her children or their nanny calling. If


    they did, Anthony would find out!


    She had to unlock her phone to turn it off.


    She typed in six digits to unlock her phone with her shaky fingers.


    Since she was too anxious, she typed the wrong digits and had to re-type…


    The car was blocking Anne from Anthony. He walked across to her with his eyes as dark as an owl.


    He saw Anne standing without moving with an anxious look.


    “What are you waiting for?”


    Anne seemed to have finally remembered to breathe. That was close…


    She saw the castle-like mansion beside her. She pleaded, “I…I would like to leave…I can…stay in a


    hotel…argh!”


    Before she could finish her sentence, the dark shadow attacked her. He grabbed her by her neck


    forcefully.


    “Ouch…I can walk, I will walk…”


    “Anne Vallois, shall I remind you that I have no patience!” Anthony pushed her forcefully.


    Anne almost tripped on her heels, and she leaned on the car to regain her bnce.


    Upon entering the mansion, she felt how tiny she was. It was as if a luxurious had fallen from the sky,


    trapping her from ever escaping.


    The living room was the size of others’ entire house.


    Anne stood there transfixed, not daring to move.


    She vaguely knew where she was. She was at Anthony’s mansion.
