Chapter 140 Escape by Pretending to Love Him
"Call me Marlon!" he said strongly.
I took a deep breath and shouted, "Marlon, I am cold. Could you please give me clothes?" Then I
squeezed out a smile.
He took off his suit and covered me with it. It was so disgusting that the suit was what he wore to
engage with Alicia, but I had to bear it.
It was better than nothing, wasn't it?
Rachael, held on! I had experienced so many tragedies, so was there anything which couldn't be
overcome? Moreover, nothing could hurt me now that I didn't love him anymore.
Picking up the bowl, I forced myself to eat though I had no appetite. Because I knew he wouldn't stop
until he reached his goal. As he had placed the meal here, if I didn't enjoy it, it would be a disobedience
to him.
I forced myself to take a few bites and tried to figure out how to say. Marlon was not an idiot, but to the
contrary, he was one of the wisest people in the world.
"You liked watching me when you were eating," said Marlon.
I turned my head and saw him looking straight at me. In his eyes was an endless abyss, which could
not be seen through. I replied, "Yeah!"
My mind was racing. Now that he imprisoned me here and engaged with Alicia in the day, it was proved
that who he loved was Alicia but not me.
However, now he should be greeting the guests and accompanying Alicia, but he came back and
brought me a meal, which could explain he was possessive about me.
To be more precise, it should be called a habit. In the past four years, he had got used to the fact that I
loved him deeply and regarded him as the center, giving him my heart and everything.
When the habit stopped abruptly, he felt uneasy.
Moreover, he had been used to being at the top, so it would be intolerable that someone left him behind
and didn't revolve around him.
I kind of wanted to laugh at that. I was so ridiculous that he fell in love with me in a second. Dreaming
for four years, I never expected such a funny ending.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Marlon.
Getting to my senses, I shook my head and took another bite, because the situation now absolutely not
allowed me to make any mistake and I had to think it over before saying a word. I had to leave here as
soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.
In addition, Davidson was still under the threat of Kieran. In his eyes, there was no such thing as kid.
Once you offended him, you would come to a bad end.
"Have more, Rachael. You have become thinner." Marlon picked a piece of meat into my bowl and said,
"It is bought from your favorite restaurant."
"Great!" I put it into my mouth, thinking that now that he was not accustomed to my hate, why not
pretended to love him so that he could get lax.
To be honest, now it was even harder and more painful to smile at him than to act in front of Kieran.
In the past, once I saw him, I would unconsciously smile. But now, there was only a broken heart
without feelings which had been tortured by misfortune.
But, I had to do so.
I forced myself to eat a little bit more and put down the chopsticks, "It is delicious as before!"
"I am glad you like it."
"I want to take a bath!" I said calmly, "I have sweated a lot. It is so uncomfortable." If the room was the
same as before, there would be a telephone in the bathroom. As a matter of fact, for convenience,
there were many telephones in the villa.
"Go ahead!" replied Marlon.
I was excited but I tried to keep it in my heart. I walked towards the bathroom slowly. When I closed the
door, I was about to cheer, especially when I saw the telephone still there. I could never be happier.
Dramatically, when I picked up the telephone, I found I had forgotten Kieran's number.
Fine, Armand's was also forgotten.
I could only remember the number of the Cornell family.
Frowning, I turned on the shower head and stared at the telephone. I was hesitating. If I called Kieran, I
could prevent him from misunderstanding me and hurting Davidson though he didn't come to save me.
But if I called the Cornell family, nobody would care about me. Not to mention in such a situation, if
Alicia framed me for seducing Marlon, then I would…fuck up!
Oh!
Today was Alicia's engagement with Marlon, so he should be accompanying her instead of here.
And according to her character, she would not let this thing happen. If I called the Cornell family and let Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
her know, she must come here immediately. At that time, Marlon would have no choice but to let me
go.
With that in mind, I called the number and the line was connected at once.
"Alicia, I have something important to tell you!"
"What do you want to tell her?" There came Marlon's cold voice, which scared me to drop the
telephone.
Then there was a shadow on the bathroom door, "Rachael, what do you want to tell Alicia?"
I stepped back with fear until I leaned against the wall. Looking at his shadow, I was more scared than I
had ever been.
In the past, I was also scared, but what I scared was that he would get angry. However, totally different
from before, now he brought me the fear that was holding out my heart, though I was being looked at
through the door.
Moreover, I could feel the fear was increasing and going deeper.
"Nothing! Because I haven't seen her for a long time, I just want to have a talk with her." I forced myself
to calm down, but the lie was just so bad that I didn't even believe it, let alone Marlon.
"The telephones in the house are internal only and it is impossible to call others outside."
I thought he would get angry hearing that, but he didn't seem to get a bit.
"Hurry up! Though it is summer now, it is easy to get cold by doing so."
"Okay!" I looked at the door nervously. Not until he walked away, did I slump on the ground.
It was so frightening that I felt he was insane. Compared with the Marlon I had known, this Marlon was
so strange and terrible.
But what was the problem? I could not figure it out, which made my head explode. Time was limited,
but the telephone was unavailable. Besides, the Marlon now was someone who couldn't be annoyed
because it would lead to worse consequences.
