Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 305 Where Identities Are Masked (Part One)

Pale was Molly's face. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She gazed at Brian who was ahead of her, forcing her to draw back each step of the way.

She kept adjusting backwards until something had blocked her behind.

Biting her lip, she glared at Brian - she was dismayed.

He stopped, standing less than one step away from her, staring at Molly. Calmly he quipped,"You must be curious about why you're here, huh?"

Molly was pursing her lips, trying to hide her emotions while staring at Brian rather coldly.

For some reason, Molly's coldness calmed Brian down a bit. He smiled at her as he told her to never leave the villa unless it's for work at the casino. Molly's eyes widened in surprise but Brian kept talking,"You parents, Daniel... I have control over all of them. If you don't behave and do as I say, it might make me unhappy. And who knows what could happen to them if I become unhappy."

Molly couldn't believe and it showed - in her eyes, her trembling body, her quivering lips. She was glaring at Brian as if she was going to burn him alive.

This only amused Brian but he didn't show that, he never did. "And you will live here as my maid." He turned to the Molly as he said this.

Brian turned around, hands in his pockets, and went upstairs pausing only for a moment to check Molly's reaction. She was obviously in shock and could not move, still trying to process what Brian had just said.

It wasn't after a considerable amount of time when Molly snapped out of it. She took her phone out to text Steven only to get no response back. She tried to call him but no answer too.

Molly was starting to get angry. She eyed the study room and how the door was half open.

Molly tried with all her might to contain her anger but she could only take so much. Soon enough, she stormed into the study room without knocking. Brian was taken aback at Molly storming into his study room. For a while, he wasn't saying anything.

"Where are your manners?" Brian asked coldly. Brian's voice was deep and guttural, his face dimmed with anger.

At first, Molly was scared and was about to apologize. But she remembered why she was there in the first place. She typed on her phone, furiously,"What have you done with my family?" Molly held it up so Brian could read the message.

Brian checked her phone, then answered coldly,"Don't worry. I won't do anything to them as long as you do as I bid." Brian read it,"Don't worry. I won't do anything bad as long as they obey me," he said rather harshly.

His countenance angered Molly as she typed again,"Brian, what do you want from me? I'm not your doll for you to just play with. Just let me go."

After reading her message, Brian raised his eyebrows before blurting out,"No."

"You..."

Molly was so angry she was breathing so heavily, her chest heaving up and down - her phone was gripped so hard in her hand.

Brian warned when he saw how angry Molly was,"I'll forgive you for this one but know your place here. And don't even think about doing it again," Then he added, as if an afterthought,"Oh, right. One more

thing. Your mom's sickness is back. Just this afternoon actually. But it's pretty serious this time. Don't you remember our deal? Your mother's medical bill in turn for your job."

Molly couldn't believe what she was hearing. She tried to read Brian's face to see if he was lying or not but his expression was unreadable - cold and unwavering.

"You think I'm lying? You have no right to accuse me of that," Brian added,"And don't ever challenge or threaten me like that or you're not going to like what's going to happen. You know what I'm capable of, Molly."

Molly was gritting her teeth in anger as she stared Brian down. She didn't know what Brian's intention was, why would he be doing this? He'd just agreed to set her free a few days ago but now he forced her to stay. What did Brian want? What was his goal? Why is he really doing this?

Molly decided to be the bigger person and move past her anger and her fear and her questions. She took a deep breath as she typed on her phone,"How's my mom doing?"

"After initial treatments, she's better now." Brian added rather heartlessly,"Of course, she's better now but we can never be sure." "Well, that's on you," he finished.

Molly typed furiously,"Brian, I didn't know you could ever reach a new low."

Brian smirked, leaned against his chair arrogantly, and looked at Molly,"You've known me since day one. You can't be surprised. You know how I am."

Brian wasn't wrong. Not only did Molly know Brian from day one - she knew him very well. And she knew that Brian was a psychopath who would do anything to get what he wanted. Molly might've not been too good at judging other people but she was undoubtedly right about Brian.

Molly was shaking from anger now, unable to type properly,"I'm staying but this is the last time you're lying to me, okay?"

Brian nodded in agreement, smiling.

Molly took a deep breath, kept her phone, and promptly headed to the door. Just as she was about to step out of the door, she threw Brian an angry look - she was angry and bitter and upset and she just had to show him.

Brian kept his face expressionless and just continued to watch her as she shut the door. As soon as Molly was gone, Brian made a face - he was annoyed. His eyes caught the fax he was perusing before Molly came in.
