I looked at her and smiled. “So, Director Bloom—will you send me away again for the sake of your little pet?”

Her eyes landed on my blood-covered face and paused. “Since Tim wasn’t seriously hurt this time, I won’t send you away,” she said. “But I will make Tim the groom at the wedding — that’s what you owe him.”

“As for us… after the wedding ceremony is over, I’ll register our marriage with you. That will be our way of closing this chapter after so many years. From then on, you’ll stay quietly in the villa I've arranged. I’ll let Tim handle things on the company with me.”

I almost laughed out loud. Stephanie really knew how to enjoy having both men.

The mocking look in my eyes seemed to anger her. Thus, she shouted at the bodyguards, “Take Johnny to the suburban villa immediately. Don’t let him out without my permission. Let him reflect on what he did so he won’t hurt Tim again!”

Four or five guards forced me into a car. But they did not take me to the villa but an dumped me on an abandoned factory instead.

One of them take out a knife from his pocket and sneered, “Mr. White ordered that you don’t see the sun tomorrow. We’re just doing a job for money. Don’t blame us.”
