Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 494

Jimmy stood where he was while his gaze swept over Ariah and then fell on Anna.

Looking at Anna's dazed expression, he frowned. "What's wrong with her?"

"Well, she's scared out of her wits." Kevin came to Anna's back. "I merely used a little trick and she's become like this."

Jimmy shot him a glance. "Back then, you kidnapped her and forced her to watch her family die in front of her. So of course, she's terrified of you. Even now, when your name was mentioned, she would be frightened out of her wits."

This was also why Anna had fallen ill when she saw someone who looked like Kevin two years ago.

With a chuckle, Kevin continued, "She deserves it. Because she was the one who provoked me first."

Jimmy didn't bother to listen to his nonsense anymore. He squinted at him and asked, "Did you get cosmetic surgery?"

Kevin's appearance was completely different from eight years ago. Only his voice still sounded familiar.

"Yes, and skin grafting. Don't forget that it was you who had burnt me." Gradually, Kevin's smile faded away and turned into a gloomy look.

Seeing that, Jimmy curled his lips. "Oh, then you're quite lucky. After being shot in the fire, you still managed to survive!"

Abruptly, Kevin gave Anna a hard slap in the face.

But Anna didn't react in the slightest bit.

"Well, keep mocking, and I'll give your darling another good slap!" Kevin glanced coldly at Jimmy. "I remember back then, you were gonna marry Anna. I don't believe that you've never loved her!" Jimmy stared at him expressionlessly.

"Oh, wait. Am I wrong? She's not the woman you love now?" Kevin suddenly grinned and walked up to Ariah, saying in a creepy tone, "Ariah's the one you love now, isn't she?"

Saying that, he slapped Ariah so hard that she could almost see stars in her eyes.

Damn, this maniac! But Ariah could only curse silently.

At the same time, Jimmy couldn't bear it anymore. "If you're still a f*cking human, then stop hitting them!" "Tut-tut, it seems that you're really worried about this woman." Kevin stood behind Ariah. All of his interests were on her now. "I thought that you're a devoted man, but it turns out that you're not."

Ariah held back the pain and interrupted, "Bah! I don't love him anymore! This scumbag doesn't deserve my love. Kevin, are you blind to think that he loves me? If he does, he wouldn't have slept with Anna! Disgusting!"

Hearing that, Kevin gave Jimmy a meaningful glance. "Jimmy, not bad, huh?"

Jimmy merely said coldly, "Cut the crap and let them go."

"Well, originally, I did intend to let them go, but now I've changed my mind."

"Kevin, they have nothing to do with our business. Don't drag them into this!"

Instantly, Kevin's face darkened. "Jimmy, have you forgotten what I said back then?"

Stunned, Jimmy then recalled that Kevin had once said that if he managed to live, he would take his favorite person's life and gifted it to him...

Jimmy hadn't forgotten what he said and he believed that Kevin would do what he said.

"Fine, what do you want?" Jimmy asked deeply.

"Very good. Finally, you're asking me something interesting." Kevin chuckled and nodded his chin to his waist, ordering, "Take off the gun on your waist."

With a sneer, Jimmy unarmed himself, to which Kevin then demanded, "And point it to your head."

Astounded, Ariah widened her eyes and was about to scream, but was stopped by Jimmy's cold gaze. Pausing, she then looked away, though her body still trembled. Then, Jimmy raised his gun and aimed it at his temple.

Kevin looked at him doubtfully. "Huh, when have you become so obedient? Aren't you afraid that I'll ask you to shoot yourself?"

"You won't," replied Jimmy coolly.

"Oh, how can you be so sure?"

"You won't kill me unless you grow tired of me. As for now, you will want to vent your anger in the past few years bit by bit. After that, only then will you consider killing me."

"That's right. I'm not gonna kill you right away." Kevin nodded and glanced at him casually. "But now, I want you to shoot at your thigh. I know you're very cunning and you must have a backup plan. However, when your leg is hurt, you wouldn't be able to escape anymore!"

Jimmy went silent. This was undoubtedly asking him to burn his own bridges.

"What? You don't have the guts to shoot?" Saying so, Kevin walked to Ariah's front and took out a dagger, wanting to slash it straight at her face.

Ariah screamed in fear.

"Don't touch her!"

Without hesitation, Jimmy shot himself on the thigh and blood came out instantly. Seeing that, Ariah bit down on her lips, preventing herself from making a sound. However, tears fell from her eyes. Kevin squinted at him. "What a spoony man."

Nevertheless, Jimmy's expression didn't change a little. "Let them go!"

"Give me the gun. Now!"

Jimmy had no choice but to follow suit.

Kevin walked over and picked up the gun, unloading the bullets. Then, he threw it aside and said, "You want me to let them go? Sure."

Hearing that, Jimmy frowned. How could Kevin be so kind?

"But, it will be up to you to decide which one could go with you." Kevin slowly walked to the two and stood between them, pointing at Anna and then at Ariah.

Ariah gritted her teeth. She couldn't wait to bite down a piece of meat from this psycho!

Meanwhile, Kevin laughed wildly and continued, "As for the person who stays, she will belong to me. It will then be up to me to kill, or to torture her."

Enraged, Jimmy could feel the veins bulging under his neck. "What if I tell you to let both of them go?"

"If you don't wanna pick one, I can do it for you."

"You..."

"Jimmy, don't try to annoy me. Hurry up and choose! Otherwise, both of them will die!"

Jimmy closed his eyes and picked reluctantly. "I'll take Anna away..."

"Oh, are you sure?" Kevin paused for a moment before laughing out loud. Then, he looked at Ariah and said, "Did you hear that? Your husband didn't pick you. What does it feel now?"
