Zoe’s face turned pale, she didn’t expect Kennedy to speak to her so frankly, making her feel embarrassed.
-Kennedy, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to use this to ask you to commit to me,” she spoke. The commitment was decided by the elders, and I thought you would want it at first.
-So you know, don’t bother me in the future,” Kennedy’s voice was cold, without any hint of emotion or warmth.
At these words, Zoe bit her lower lip to death, but her eyes were still flushed, she thought at least Kennedy would have some pity, but she didn’t expect him to have any emotion.
At that thought, Zoe looked up at him.
The light and shadows in the hallway intermingled, the man’s tall figure bathed in light, his handsome face deepening by the moment, and she didn’t know if it was lust, but even after rejecting her so coldly, Zoe still felt Kennedy’s every word and action tugging at her heart.
-Kennedy. I know, I know everything you’re saying, so I came to your family today to set the record straight with you too, but people come and go here, can you come in and talk?
She lowered her eyes and clenched her teeth, saying, -I don’t want anyone to see.
Kennedy pursed his lips and looked into the room behind her, remembering the scene of the day in the office when she had hugged so violently, and said dismissively, -I think I’ve made myself clear.
-Kennedy, but I still want to explain something to you,” Zoe looked up and saw a thin layer of sweat form on Kennedy’s forehead, and he pulled his shirt collar off without a trace, revealing a snow-white shoulder.
From the looks of him, the drug should have slowly begun to take effect, shouldn’t it?
A glint of triumph appeared in Zoe’s eyes at the thought.
As soon as the medication took effect, all she’d have to do was seduce him a little, and then things would be a lot easier. When the two of them slept together, she would take pictures and send them to Alice in person.
Once Alice got desperate, Kennedy would naturally be on her own hand.
The more she thought about it, the more Zoe’s contentment grew and expanded, filling her eyes and expression.
The sweat that had fallen from Kennedy’s forehead was building up, and with this she actually felt a restless heat coming off her body, and so fast that at first she thought it was anger because she felt so hot inside at the sight of Zoe.
But little by little, Kennedy realized that something was wrong.
This nameless heat seemed to rise from underneath and rush to his head, soon burning between his eyebrows, when suddenly the woman in front of him revealed a snow-white shoulder.
Zoe took a step closer to him.
-Kennedy, look at me…..
Kennedy quickly averted his gaze, turned and walked away, and Zoe anxiously rushed to him and hugged him.
-Don’t go away, Kennedy, can you look at me? Just a look, just a look, I’m no worse than she is. I’ve got everything she has too, will you look at me?
Her hands were wrapped tightly around his waist and her soft body continued to push against Kennedy’s.
Although Kennedy was aware of what was happening to his body at that moment, his senses were still sharp and instead of being calmed by Zoe’s pressure against him, he felt disgusted.
-Get out!
He scolded her angrily, and the coldness emanating from his body made Zoe flinch, but she soon regained her grip on Kennedy’s waist.
She had only this one chance to strike, and she could only succeed, not fail.
So she put a heavy dose on him, knowing that if he didn’t succeed tonight, she wouldn’t have a chance later.
Now that he had just suffered a drug attack, Kennedy still had the sense to tell her to go away.
By the time the drug would have taken full effect in a few moments, gnawing at her sanity to the point of no return, the man in front of her would have nothing left but knee-jerk reactions.
Zoe’s eyes reddened with emotion at the thought.
She had to hold on, after tonight she could be with Kennedy for a long time, with no one else bothering them anymore.
The veins in Kennedy’s forehead rippled, and as he felt the woman still holding him, he narrowed his eyes, grabbed her strangled hand around his waist and pulled her up at once.
How much force Kennedy himself exerted he did not know, but this woman was bad enough to drug, so he would go do something.
The woman’s screams came from behind her and Kennedy went down the stairs without even looking back.
Zoe didn’t expect to be thrown out, and her head hit the wall next to her, which made her eyes glaze over, and when she managed to recover enough to see Kennedy again, he was nowhere to be seen.
***
Anthony waited outside the door of the Carlos house for half a day, watching as nothing seemed to happen inside, and the minutes ticked by.
By the count of time, it seemed that this Kennedy had been in there for some time, why wasn’t there even any movement?
Thinking that his sister-in-law was still waiting for him on the other side, Anthony couldn’t stay still and opened the car door, ready to go straight into the house to see what was going on, and if something was wrong, he would save the person right away.
Anthony had just gotten out of the car when he saw a tall figure walking toward him.
Was it Kennedy?
-Shit, you’re finally out, I thought you weren’t going out tonight.
As he got closer, Anthony realized something was wrong with the eyes and face of the man in front of him, the cold sweat pouring down his forehead and the thin, tight lips showed he was in great pain with restraint.
-What, what’s wrong? -Anthony looked him up and down, but saw no wounds or blood on him, but…. what was the matter with that stoic look?
Kennedy’s pale lips twitched and he spoke coldly, -Get me out of here.
Anthony nodded unconsciously, -Get in.
Alice, on the other hand, had been tossing and turning for half a day, but had not heard from Anthony.
Thinking about it, Alice simply got up, intending to change her clothes and go out to check on him, but before she could get her hands on her coat, the doorbell rang.
Alice’s first thought was that Kennedy was back.
She was so anxious after waiting all night that she didn’t even bother to grab her coat and opened the door to her room in her bare feet and ran out.
The apartment had a security door and when Alice saw that the people at the door were Anthony and Kennedy, she hurried to open the door and let them in.
Sister-in-law!
Anthony helped Kennedy in and as soon as he did he said, -Where’s the bathroom?
Alice froze for a moment, why was she looking for the bathroom as soon as she entered? But as she looked at Kennedy, Alice’s heart skipped a beat as she closed the door and turned around.
-Follow me.
