Chapter 9
The bathroom door was opened without warning. Anne, who was inside, froze. She watched the
intimidating man, who suddenly appeared, nervously.
Anthony red at her and said, “You locked the door on my property? Who gave you the permission?”
Anne was unable to refute. This was indeed not her room.
The entire The Curve, including herself now, belonged to Anthony.
However, she must not tell him why she locked the door.
“I’m…scared…” Anne said weakly.
Anthony fixed his sharp gaze on her phone and ordered, “Give it to me.”
Anne realized what he was after, and she tightened her grip on the phone.
She did not expect Anthony toe at this hour. She was unprepared…
“Don’t make me repeat myself!” Anthony’s passive-aggressive voice resonated in the bathroom.
Anne’s heart jolted. She dared not to wait any longer and had no choice but to hand out her phone.
When Anthony got hold of her phone, her heart tightened uncontrobly.
She was afraid that he might find out her secret…
When Anthony looked at the phone, she said weakly, “I… I had a nightmare. I was scared. I tried to call
my aunt, but I didn’t want to trigger you. So I didn’t make the call, and then you came in…”
She was able to delete her recent call history so Anthony would not find out.
Anthony red at her sharply as if he was about to prate her. “You can try.”
Anne looked at him perplexed.
“She helped you to get away. Do you know what will happen next?” Anthony asked cruelly.
“No, not that. I asked my aunt to bring me my passport. This has nothing to do with her. She knows
nothing! I…I promise you, I won’t contact her again…” Anne promised and rified.
She was too innocent.

Anthony hated Sarah. How would he allow her to contact her!?
In order to keep Sarah safe, she had to stop contacting her…
Anthony went forward and grabbed her face upward. “Remember, don’t challenge my patience. You
can’t afford it. Understood?”
“Und…understood.” Anne teared up.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
The sound resonated in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Anne’s heart jumped.
Who…who was calling? No, please, not Nancy and the kids…please!
“You’re shaking?” Anthony asked as if ying with his prey. His powerful fingers holding onto Anne felt
her tremble.
“No…” Anne turned away and quickly picked up her phone. “I’m answering the call…”
Her turning away triggered Anthony. A big hand held her corbone and pushed her against the ss
by the bathtub, smashing her against it…
“Argh!”
Anne was shocked, and her legs went soft.
He was too powerful!
“Behave!” Anthony narrowed his sharp eyes on her. His eyes were fixed on her phone screen with no
caller ID. His finger slid through and answered the call. A man’s voice was heard…
“Anne?”
Hearing this voice, Anne’s body jolted, but she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
That familiar voice was her ex-boyfriend.
Why did he call?
However, at this moment, as long as it was not a call from Nancy and the kids, she would be fine…
“Anne, long time no see. How are you? Since we broke up, I’ve always thought of you. I can’t forget
you…” Lennon Be’s voice was heard.
Anne halted. She instinctively nced at Anthony.
“Anne, I know you haven’t forgotten about me. If not, you wouldn’t have kept my number, right? I heard
you dropped out of college two years ago and finally returned. I’ming back tomorrow. Let’s meet
up?” Lennon asked.
“No, I’m fine.”
“Anne, you won’t find another man who’d treat you better than I did.”
“I…” Before Anne could refuse, the call ended.
Anthony hung up.
Anne was pressured by Anthony’s intense re. She quickly said, “An ex, we have broken up. I was
suffering, and so I dropped out of college. I didn’t expect him to find me. We had not been in touch ever
since.”
“Do I care?” Anthony scoffed.
Anne felt awkward. She looked at her phone that was in Anthony’s hand.
Just like herself, who was within his control.
“Since he’sing back, you should meet him,” Anthony said out of the blue.
Anne refused, “Why should I?”
“I’m not negotiating with you.”
Anne did not know what he was nning, but she knew it was nothing pleasant.
The sense of uneasiness increased.
However, she dared not to go against his will. If not, she would lose her life!
…
Lennon asked to meet at a bar.
Anne walked into the bar. She not only saw Lennon, but she also saw a ck shadow hidden in the
VIP area on the second floor, like a beast preying, looking down at the ground.
“Anne, this way!” Lennon saw her.
Anne reacted and sat over.
Although she had Anthony’s permission, she was still very anxious and uneasy because she did not
know what Anthony was trying to do. The uncertainties made her nervous.
“Anne, it’s been a while. I’m so happy to see you again,” Lennon said with excitement.
Anne did not speak.
Lennon was a senior in her college overseas. He chased her for two months.
Since they were both from Luton, they got on well.
However, within half a year, she witnessed him sleeping with another woman with her own eyes.
“I’ll order a non-alcoholic drink for you. You don’t usually drink.” Lennon seemed to be the
understanding boyfriend.
“Why did you try to find me?” Anne was not keen on meeting him. She was not ready to forgive him.
“Anne, no matter who was by my side, I’ve never forgotten you. I’ve regretted it. Anne, pleasee
back to me! I promise you I won’t let that happen again.”
“You know me well. Once is all it takes.”
“If that’s true, why would you meet me? I’m sure you still have feelings for me!” Lennon reached out,
trying to hold her hand.
Anne quickly retrieved her hand.
She looked up. No matter how far away that man was, it was impossible to miss his intimidating gaze.
She wanted to leave!
However, she did not know when she could leave.
Even if she could not please Anthony, she must not disobey him!
Before long…
“Yo! Isn’t this Anne? I almost can’t recognize you in this outfit!” A messy-looking guy walked over to flirt
with Anne. He seemed to have known her.
