All of a sudden, the phone was hung up, and the simple words the man said made Leila feel that she was falling through the ice since the man who called her was the same man who had kidnapped her.
The phone in her hand fell with a sudden snap on the bed, and at that moment, fear came over her. She felt that she was alone in the world, while she couldn’t see anything, and she was wandering all alone, feeling that her life had no direction and no goal.
She felt more lonely and frightened than she had ever felt before.
It was a late-night phone call, threatening her to divorce Vincent.
There was a sudden flash of lightning outside, followed by a loud thud. Leila was not afraid of lightning before, but tonight, she suddenly felt afraid of lightning than she had ever felt before.
She was shivering to get such a phone call in the late night, and she covered her face with the quilt, trying to hold her breath in the darkness. She could only press hard against her ears with her hands, but the thunder seemed to go on and on, making her almost want to scream with fear.
At that moment, she suddenly heard her phone ring again, but she was afraid to answer the phone this time.
The phone rang and rang, but Leila wouldn’t answer it. In the darkness, she reached out and shoved her phone to the ground as if it were a demon.
Leila heard the phone still ringing as if it would not stop until she answered.
Leila gritted her teeth as she suddenly pushed the quilt away, and it took almost all her strength to get out of bed. She picked up the phone, answered it without looking at the phone number on the screen, and yelled at the phone. “You pervert, I said I would divorce Vincent, so don’t call me again!”
“Hello…”
Leila almost froze when she heard a familiar voice on the other end of the line. Her heart was throbbing as she listened to him. “Leila, what did you say?”
“…”
Why was Vincent calling her now? She didn’t expect it to be Vincent.
“Leila, who called you? Has someone threatened you?” She noticed that Vincent sounded very anxious as if he was very worried.
“…” Leila suddenly burst into tears, but she bit her lip to stop herself from crying.
“Leila, are you crying?”
“…” Oh, she almost bit her lip to bleed, for she could not allow herself to make a sound.
“You wait for me, and I’ll be right there!” She heard Vincent’s deep voice on the other end of the line, and he seemed worried, but he didn’t hang up the phone.
“No, don’t come to me, and let’s get a divorce because I really feel so tired!” Leila sobbed, “Don’t come to me…”
“What’s the matter? Who’s been threatening you?”
As Leila heard thunder again, she shuddered. “Don’t come to me because I want to divorce you, and I want a divorce!”
When she heard his voice, she didn’t want to hang up the phone as she wanted to hear his voice, but she was scared because the kidnapper just asked her to divorce Vincent when he called her, so she was really scared.
She was dangerous last time.
Suddenly she turned on the lamp, and the light in the room made her feel better.
“Who called you?” She heard Vincent’s voice become depressed, and he seemed more anxious than ever. “You keep the phone number, and wait for me!”
He hung up so suddenly that Leila didn’t have time to tell him not to come. Three minutes later, however, someone unlocked her door, and when she heard the key in the door, she shuddered, curling on the bed.
Her bedroom door was flung open, while the tall figure of Vincent appeared in front of her. His short hair was wet from the rain and he looked breathless. She knew there was still some distance between the car and the stairway, and it was raining hard now, so his clothes were wet. Leila suddenly realized something since she asked him in a trembling voice. “Were you downstairs just now?”
He stood there, staring at her with a deep face. “Did someone just call you and threaten to make you divorce me?”
Leila shuddered as she involuntarily curled up. “Go away and don’t come to me again since I can’t be with you.”
She was really scared.
“You must leave!”
But the next moment, he had forced her into his arms and he was kissing her so hard that she couldn’t say a word.
“No!” He kissed Leila hard, while Leila was so smitten by his kiss that everything became chaotic. She could only feel his lips sucking on hers as if they were taking all her breath away.
She pressed her hands hastily against his chest to restrain him from getting any closer, but they were immediately fastened to her back by him with one hand, while his other hand gripped her around her waist.
For an instant, she felt all her strength drained from his warm embrace, but suddenly she remembered what her father had told her, ‘Do you want to see Vincent go to jail?’
She felt another pang in her heart and she felt trapped!
“Vincent… I’m afraid…” When she opened her mouth, his tongue came in and licked her tongue as if that was the only way he could comfort her.
“I’ll protect you, so you don’t have to be afraid of that!” He whispered hurriedly in her ear. “I will protect you…”
She felt her mind go blank for a few seconds, so she could only gawk at him. She could not resist, so she closed her eyes, letting him kiss her and making her feel dizzy.
He kissed her passionately, and she felt a fierce passion come over her like the waves of the sea.
Until he picked her up and put her to bed.
Leila felt the world spin around as if his fingertips and lips were everywhere around her, burning little flames of desire in their path, and her body shivered convulsively with the hot and cold sensations.
He kissed her to ease her slowly.
She shed a tear, feeling all her grievances and uneasiness melt into the tear. Vincent suddenly stopped kissing her since he pressed his lips to her forehead, kissed her, and held her tight. “Tell me, who called you? Do you know who it was?”
Leila trembled with fear, shaking her head. “He kidnapped me last time, but he didn’t hurt me, as he just told me to divorce you. He gave me a week, and that week has passed, but we’re still married…”
She heard a low sigh overhead, and then he got up, took off his coat, and hugged her again. “Don’t worry about it, and leave it to me. Can I see the phone number?”
He looked around, took her phone, and searched for the phone number. “Is this his phone number? Did he call you before I called you?”
Leila trembled again, nodding. “‘Yes!”
He memorized the kidnapper’s phone number by reading it over, and if he guessed right, the kidnapper’s phone number was illegal, so he had a hard time finding out about the kidnapper, but now that he knew about this matter, it seemed that he needed to turn to Julian for help.
She found that when he was by her side, she felt less frightened, and when she felt the warmth of his body, she felt safe. Perhaps because of the exhaustion caused by days of insomnia, she soon fell asleep. She only remembered that even when she was asleep, she seemed to hold his arm tightly as if afraid of losing him in a dream.
When she woke up in the morning, the sun shone through the curtains, and suddenly she felt his chest pressed against her back, while he reached out, caressing her body as his hand went up from her waist, and then he hugged her tightly.
From time to time he rubbed his bearded chin against her smooth neck so that she felt itchy and tingling. Leila suddenly felt a thump in her heart since she gradually came to her senses and suddenly realized something.
She was secretly angry with herself when she remembered what had happened the day before, so she quickly struggled, but she felt him holding her tighter behind her.
“Vincent, let me go!” Subconsciously, she realized that her pajamas had not been taken off, so she seemed relieved.
“Good morning!” He said.
Their posture made Leila feel extremely flustered and embarrassed.
“Leila…” Vincent smiled gently since he seemed to be in a good mood, and his voice softened a lot, while his handsome face looked as perfect as a god.
Leila blushed, looking away, frowning, and not daring to look at him.
She was about to get up when he held her so hard that she couldn’t move, and he buried his face in her long hair.
“Vincent…” She felt that she should say something to Vincent, but before she could say it, Vincent suddenly covered her small mouth with his big hand.
“If you still want to divorce me, you needn’t tell me!” Vincent’s voice sounded hoarse and sexy, and when he woke up in the morning, his voice sounded particularly seductive.
She sighed since she had imagined many scenes between them, as she had imagined that there might be a quarrel between them and that he might be humiliating her, but she had no idea that she was sleeping so quietly and well in his arms. She slept soundly all night, and was it because he was by her side so she slept exceptionally well?
She pulled down his hand, looking into his eyes. In her trance, she was caught off guard to see his handsome face since his handsome face was just in front of her eyes, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly. “You slept soundly last night!”
“I don’t know.” Her voice sounded unusually hoarse, so she felt a little embarrassed. “You get up quickly!”
She tried to push Vincent, but she didn’t expect that her struggle had brought her so close to him. Vincent frowned but just asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll take you to breakfast.”
“No, I’m not.” She shook her head, and when she saw the phone, she suddenly remembered what had happened the night before, so she trembled slightly, and her face suddenly went pale.
When Vincent saw her reaction, he suddenly understood why she was scared, so he sighed deeply, pulling her into his arms. “I’ll take care of it!”
“Do you know who it is?” Leila whispered, “How are you going to deal with this? He was wearing a mask! He’s supposed to be someone I know, but I didn’t find out who he was!”
“You don’t believe me?” Vincent was upset because he hated being questioned, especially by a woman, so he said to her in anger. “Do you want a divorce because he tells you to?”
Leila shook her head.
She suddenly remembered what her father had said since she could not let Vincent be put in jail by her father. She didn’t like to hesitate like this, so she was really upset, but she didn’t know what to do. Nothing had ever annoyed her so much as hesitating people, whereas she had never imagined that she was becoming so hesitating herself.
“You go home first!” Leila said, “Don’t you have to work?”
“You want me to go?” Vincent’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and his handsome face looked cold and cruel again, but he suddenly chuckled, while he didn’t even know what he was saying. His anger pressed against his chest, as there was more and more anger in his heart, so he said sarcastically. “You held on to me last night, and now that it’s daylight, you’re going to drive me away? Who hugged you, comforting you last night? You are such an ingrate!”
Leila was stunned, and she thought he was so impulsive that she was really annoyed. She had been grateful for his coming the night before, but his sarcasm made her feel terrible again, so she laughed at herself.
“So what do you want?”
Vincent seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing, so he pressed his lips, softening his voice. “When are you defending your thesis?”
