Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 456

Ariah didn't expect that he would do that to her. Lying on the floor, she was too weak to move and could only allow him to touch her cheek with his cold, disgusting hand. While trembling in fright, she closed her eyes tightly and stayed motionless.

"Are you afraid of me?" The man chuckled, and his insidious laughter echoed in the damp basement.

Pursing her lips, she didn't dare to utter anything.

Fear would definitely arouse his interest.

The best way was thus to ignore him directly.

"Why didn't you reply to me?" The man lowered his head and sniffed at her body. "Weren't you quite good at talking just now? Why are you so quiet now?"

"What do you want me to say?" She responded in a hoarse voice.

"Beg me."

"What for?"

"Beg me not to kill you."

"Why should I do so?" "If you beg me, maybe I'll let you go when I'm in a good mood." "Okay..." Ariah took a deep breath. "Please, don't kill me."

"Hahaha..."

He then laughed hysterically and said, "I just like you beg me like prey on the verge of death. That'd be very exciting."

Turning her face away, she knew that she had been tricked by him. She should have known that he would not let her go so easily, since he had spent so much effort to abduct her from the hotel... Thinking about this, she paused for a moment. "Did you plan for this abduction a long time ago?"

However, he chose not to reply to that question.

Therefore, she tried to provoke him, "I'm in your hands now. There's nothing for you to hide. You definitely won't let go of me, right? Why don't you let me know how I was brought here before I die?" After a long while, he said slowly, "You're right. I did have a plan to bring you here."

"Why? I have never offended you, but why did you do this to me?" Ariah glared at him, "There must be a reason if you want to kill someone."

Obviously, he was annoyed by her questions. "Do I need any reason to kill someone? I can kill you if I want to. There's no reason or whatsoever!" "You're lying!"

"What?!"

Ariah could almost imagine the anger beneath that person's mask. She regretted that she had tested him too much, for there was no need to argue with this kind of person. Just as she licked her dry lips and was about to say something nice, he laughed out loud and said, "Do you really want to know why I brought you here?"

"Yes, of course."

"Because you know Jimmy."

Ariah was stunned on the spot. Her eyes widened in disbelief. What did he say? J-Jimmy?

She had heard him right, hadn't she?

Did he really mention 'Jimmy1?

Could it be that she had been targeted because of Jimmy's enmity with someone else? Jimmy might be invincible, but his wife was easy to deal with. That was why the man had shifted his attention to a vulnerable target, which was her!

Upon knowing that, Ariah cursed Jimmy in her heart.

"Blame Jimmy Hudson if you want to. As his wife, you need to bear the responsibility for his past mistake."

In an instant, Ariah's entire body was tensed up. After hearing the words, she got so furious that she raised her hand and tried to grab him. "Tell me properly. What has Jimmy done? What was so serious that you need to do this to me?"

In response, he flung her hand away and tried to say something more. Suddenly, he heard the iron clanking sound from the corner.

"I almost forgot that there's still a beauty here." Following a lascivious laugh, he walked over to the corner.

Ariah widened her eyes and barked, "What are you trying to do? Don't touch her!"

Her words were, unfortunately, futile as he undid his fly. He then pulled the girl, who was curled up in a corner, into a room.

"No!"

The girl screamed in fear.

As rage welled up in Ariah's chest, she bit her lips hard, which caused pain to spread all over her body. She tried to climb out of bed, but her legs were too weak to stand, so she immediately fell to the ground. Listening to Kierra's yelling, Ariah took a few deep breaths and wiped away her tears. While being gnawed at by despair, she saw an iron rod in the corner. She thus picked up the rod and helped herself up while leaning against the wall.

Although she was too weak to fight against the unruly man, she could not just stand by and watch a girl being bullied in front of her!

As she got used to the darkness, she slowly moved toward the room along the wall. There wasn't even a bed, and Kierra was pressed to the ground by him... How could the scumbag do that?!

Gritting her teeth, Ariah raised the metal rod in her hand and smashed it hard on the back of his head!

"Hehl"

The man suddenly grabbed her rod, which was a shock to her.

As he pulled the rod from her hand, he threw it forcefully onto the ground.

"Run!"

The girl shouted.

Ariah turned around and ran without thinking. Behind her, heavy footsteps were mingled with the man's angry voice, "B*tch, I will never let you go!"

The basement was wet and there were water puddles on the ground. As soon as Ariah ran out of the small room, she suddenly slipped.

Her heart was instantly gripped by helplessness.

She turned around and looked at the person who was approaching her step by step. As fear occupied her heart, she couldn't help but tremble and shout, "Jimmy!" Why couldn't he find her? Why...

"Bang!"

All of a sudden, the wall collapsed following an explosion. The sunlight rushed in like a flood through the open gate. The light was so glaring that she could not open her eyes for a moment. A group of fully armed men then rushed in from outside.

"Don't move!"

"Don't try to run away!"

Ariah turned her head in a daze. Against the setting sun, she saw a man wearing camouflage clothing walking toward her with a gun in his hand.

It was Jimmy.

"Lower your head!"

Jimmy shouted at her.

"W-What?"

Ariah could not hear what he had just said. Just as she was about to ask, she saw him lift the gun and pull the trigger with a cold expression. Then, there was a loud bang.

She could feel warm liquid, which smelled like blood, splashed over her face. As she looked clearly, her hand had been stained with blood.

The man with the clown mask had been shot in the forehead, and he was now lying in a pool of blood.

When Ariah saw that, she roared as if she had gone mad, "Jimmy, you are just a scumbag! There's blood all over my face now!"

It was after she yelled that she passed out.

The scene rendered the police officers speechless.

It seemed that she had not been hurt, or else how could she be so feisty?
