Allyce was bound hand and foot, unable to move, and could do nothing but stare as Severo ignored her.
It was at that moment that the mobile phone in his pocket rang.
Allyce assumed it must be Dita calling.
He turned his head expressionlessly towards Severo and shouted, “My phone is ringing.
With one hand free, Severo reached down and pulled the phone out of his pocket, glanced at it and tossed the receiver aside.
“Hey! What are you doing?” Allyce looked at him with her jaw unhinged, sure he was still spinning his head, where was he somehow getting back to normal?
It is clearly worse!
Allyce approached him reluctantly and, with the car in motion, his weight swayed and he fell backwards into Severo’s arms.
Squeak–
The sound of a car braking sharply in the rain is harsh.
Allyce also realised that he had planted himself somewhat inappropriately, which caused Severo to lose control and slam on the brakes.
With an impulse in his mind, he struggled to get up.
However, they held his hands and he struggled until he sweated profusely and could not get up.
He grabbed her by the neck and wrapped his other hand around her waist and pulled her up to sit on his lap.
There were no lights on in the car and Allyce couldn’t see Severo’s expression, but she could feel his accelerated breathing hitting her face one by one.
He twisted and turned his face away.
“Why don’t you fight more? Keep going, there’s no one here anyway …”
His voice was slightly hoarse, and the last half of the sentence he spoke was close to her ear.
Allyce grimaced, her voice like a gnat: “You … told me to sit down”.
“How can I make you sit down again if you jump into my arms?” asked Severo rhetorically.
Allyce bites her lip.
He could not convince Severo, so he simply left it at that.
However, Severo did not let her go.
Even if she doesn’t speak, Severo has a way of dealing with her.
This is its virtue.
However, he could do nothing with him and in the end he prevailed.
When the carriage finally calmed down, the rain had stopped outside.
…
By the time the two returned to Solares castle, it was after midnight.
As Severo pulled her out of the car, a blast of cold air rushed across her neck and she shrank back, leaning against Severo’s arms.
The two went to their room without saying anything, without alerting the servants.
Once back in the room, Severo went to put the bath water on.
Allyce sat up in bed and turned on her phone.
Victorino should already be on the plane.
Dita only called her twice.
How could Severo’s right-hand man not have guessed what was going on?
Allyce hesitated and, instead of calling Dita back, sent a text message to Xabat: Victorino was gone.
A simple sentence. Xabat will know what to do.
…
Xabat has been very busy lately and it is basically impossible to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
He got out of the shower and was about to go to bed when his phone rang with the alert of a new text message.
Because the text message was so small, he could only read its contents on the lock screen. When she saw again that the sender was Allyce, she knew something was wrong and immediately called Dita.
The phone rang for a long time before answering.
“Brother”.
Dita’s voice was so hoarse that Xabat’s face was solemn: “Where are you?
Dita sniffled before saying, “I’m at Victorino’s house”.
“Meet me there.
With these words, Xabat hung up the phone, quickly changed his clothes and headed for Victorino’s house.
As soon as he arrived at Victorino’s house, he didn’t even bother to close the car door before rushing inside.
“Dita!”
There was no response, but the whole village lit up.
Without much trouble, he found Dita.
She was sitting on the sofa in the hall, her hair and clothes wet, her face pale and unmoving when Xabat entered.
Xabat’s brow furrowed fiercely at her appearance and he approached, “Dita, didn’t you go on a business trip today? Why are you here?”
“Brother, you really don’t have to come, I’m fine.” Dita raised her head to look at him and curved her lips into a smile.
Xabat’s frown deepened as he turned to sigh: “If you go, you go, man, whatever, I’ll find you a good one later.
In fact, deep down inside, it was not as easy as he made it sound, and he did not even dare to ask why Victorino had left and where he had gone.
Dita is his sister and knows how important Victorino is to her.
In a way, he was grateful to Victorino.
But, with such a result, it makes Dita very sad that it would be good if he were a brother and did not hit Victorino.
Dita’s smile had broken a little, but she nodded, “Yes”.
Xabat, on the other hand, couldn’t stand the way he forced a smile on his face: “Well, shit, where can that bastard Victorino go, I’ll get him later!
