The strange man brought him there. He left and closed the door as soon as Tom settled down.
The sound of closing the door wasn’t loud, but Tom still trembled with fear.
Saxon turned around and looked at him intently. “There you are.”
“Saxon, you! What are you doing here? Where is this place?” Tom asked worriedly.
“Of course, it’s my place. ”
“Your territory?” Tom thought that something’s wrong. The Saxon he knew was poorer than he is. How can he afford such a big mansion? Although the market price of property here wasn’t expensive as to Capital’s price per meter of land. Even if the Z City’s price can’t be tantamount to the Capital, the price won’t be cheap. To be able to afford such a luxury house is considered as a rich man!
Saxon put a knife on his hand and checked the edges as if he was checking a toy. Then, he put it back and checked for another knife. “It was only finished three months ago. It’s not bad, isn’t it?”
This kind of vibe Saxon exuded made Tom felt very strange. What he wanted to ask, made him fidgety but the inexplicable Saxon made him speechless. It was as if his worry and hesitation vanished. All that left was confusion and fear that rendered him clueless on what to ask!
“Don’t you think this house is a little familiar?” Saxon asked.
The nerves in Tom’s mind jumped because of his sonorous voice.
When he came out of his suitcase, he felt the familiar feeling at first sight of the mansion. However, he ignored it.
Now that it was mentioned by Saxon, it made him drenched with cold sweat.
Tom noticed the door behind him. He hurriedly tried to get close, touched the doorknob, opened it, and run away!
However, the door remained motionless as if it had been welded.
The sound of a crisp crash scared Tom and made him turned around.
Saxon was still there leisurely playing with tools.
No matter which tool he takes, it can kill a person.
“Run out and the police will arrest you. Don’t you think it’s safer to stay here?” Saxon chose an inconspicuous golf club in the corner, propped it on the ground, looked at him, and asked.
The temperament of his body was completely different from before. The shadows under his amber eyes made Tom panic when he looked at it
“Sa-Saxon, I think being taken by the police is good, too.” Tom stuttered in fear as he pressed his back against the door and chill poured in.
“I can’t do that. You are my father’s most trusted friend. How can I ignore your life on the brink of death? I’m sure my father would approve of what I did.” As Saxon said his menacing reply, he unfastened the only button on his coat, left it open, and walked towards Tom.
Tom would be stupid if he didn’t understand what was going on.
There’s only one door. He desperately tried to open the door and escape but that’s impossible!
Tom saw a triangular iron bar hanging from the barbed wire and immediately took it in his hand as a weapon to defend himself.
Saxon’s golf club was a little weak compared to Tom’s chosen weapon.
“Stay back! I don’t want to hurt you!” With that, he held up the iron bar and rushed to Saxon pre-emptively.
The golf club in Saxon’s hand was light that he powerfully hit him hard. With a bang, Tom only felt that his hands were numb. As soon as he loosened up, the iron bar flew out from his grasp and fell to the ground with a shrill thunderous sound.
Before he knew it, the golf club swept towards his knees.
“Ah!” Tom Parker screamed and fell to the ground, wailing.
Saxon paced in front of the miserable Tom with a golf club in his hand. His black leather shoes stopped in his head and asked. “Does it hurt? Go ahead and scream, it’s soundproof here.”
“Saxon, why? Why are you doing this to me?” Tom felt the agonizing torment as he quivered with pain.
“Did your father ask you the same thing when he died?”
“No, he has nothing to do with me, no. He is not involved in here.”
Saxon laughed off his sophistry. “Everything is fine in this house, except for the lack of pets. I think I know now who my pet will be, and it’s you.”
Then, he wrapped a leash around Tom Parker’s neck.
“Ah! Saxon!”
Veronica didn’t know what happened to Tom. She just learned by watching the TV news that he didn’t get caught. Her cell phone was quiet and didn’t get any more calls from Tom.
It doesn’t make any sense for her to be not bothered by him.
If such a person was set up, won’t he call to say anything degrading or threatening? At least, he would scold her.
Veronica stood up, went to the balcony, and looked down.
She couldn’t jump off the eighth floor and escape.
At this time, she is still worried about whether Tom was caught or not. However, she knew that she should worry about herself.
Three days have passed and a week slipped by, and the freedom given to her by Nick would expire in four days.
The nearer she got to the deadline, the more flustered her heart became.
She just wanted to get out of her present predicament, she doesn’t want to be there anymore. It was as if she was arrested, caged, and can’t go out.
The servants were in the other room at the moment, as if they didn’t exist.
Veronica stared curiously at the closed door. She can’t help but be astonished why was Nick so relaxed with her. He just let a servant be with her like that. When she recalled how Nick was so easy to talk to and left her alone, she felt that something was odd. Judging by Nick’s terrible possessiveness to her, how come he’s a little too easy to talk to?
At the thought of this, Veronica immediately felt that there were many pairs of eyes looking at her in the room, and made her scalp numb.
Back in the room, Veronica saw the cell phone on the nightstand, as well as the watch and bracelet she always put on her wrist. As she thought of the monitoring actions to her by Nick in the past, Veronica immediately took it off and checked it, including whether there was any inexplicable software in the phone.
She can’t take it lightly. If she was caught by Nick, she can never run away again!
However, when she checked all her accessories, there was nothing suspicious in it. It was clean!
‘Am I thinking too much? Does Nick really want to give me space to be independent?’
Veronica was in a daze. ‘He didn’t install surveillance in the house, did he?’
She shook her head to stop her paranoia because she was frightened by her own thoughts!
‘Can Nick be so scary? I’m in his house, do I still have my own privacy?’
‘No, there is nothing Nick Cage is afraid to do!’ All the theories and questions that formed in her mind, Veronica answered it by herself.
So, if he indeed installed it, where will it be installed? In the Room? Shower Room? Living room?
Veronica thought that it’s impossible to be in the bathroom. The last time she entered the bathroom, it was the servant who called Nick, so it wouldn’t be in the bathroom!
‘Perhaps in the room?’ Veronica looked around the room. She only saw the cabinets and beds, as well as the lights above. As she looked up, the lamp is the kind of embedded in the ceiling, the surveillance camera can’t be installed in it because if so, it would be easy to find.
So, there is no place to install surveillance in the room.
Then, all that’s left is the living room.
Veronica recalled her interaction with Nick in the living room.
She suddenly thought of something.
She picked up her phone and called the driver Leo. “What did Nick say when he called you the other night?”
“Which time?”
“The time you went out to look for me and saw me and Toby Cage!”
“He just said that you’ve been out for a long time.”
“Does he let you leave the house for a long time, or do you go out for a long time without his orders?”
Leo didn’t understand. What’s the difference? But he recalled something and answered her. “We’ve been talking about something for a long time when he suddenly let me go out and look for you. I’m sure that’s what he said.”
Veronica recalled his mood at that time. She had doubts, he slept with other women but he still controlled her words and deeds. Even if she went out the door briefly, she was always quickly found!
Later, Veronica felt that it was told by the security guard of the community, so she didn’t think about it carefully.
Nick is a shrewd person. It was impossible to say that there was a flaw and he’s continuously monitoring her when he has been away from the house for a long time.
But are these all her guesses, or could they be her gut telling her that it was the truth?
