The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1566 Ferry The Psycho

In Holley's home, she was in a daze.

She sat, pale-faced and stupefied. Her eyes blankly stared somewhere, totally ignoring Black's words.

"Holley, are you listening to me?" Black asked as he felt her inattention. He tugged on her arm, trying to attract her attention.

"Humm... I'm sorry. What did you just say?" Holley asked after she came back to her senses.

"Do you recall offending anyone recently? Why else would someone try to make trouble for you? There is no way anyone would stalk you without a solid reason," Black asked probingly.

Holley was displeased to be questioned, but she didn't show it on her face. She put on a grieved look immediately.

"Black, I am well aware I have put you in a tough spot. I'm sorry for getting you involved in this mess. I think you should let me handle it! I'll take care of myself!" she sobbed. Her pitiful but gorgeous face tugged at Black's heart.

It was hard for him to resist her charms.

"Holley, what are you talking about? How can I leave you alone in this dangerous situation? No, my intention wasn't to bombard you with questions. I merely wanted to figure out who that person was so that we could stop it from happening again!" Black explained quickly to clear up Holley's misunderstanding.

"I'm just an ordinary girl. How could I have offended anyone so powerful?" Holley complained. Black nodded his head realizing her words actually made sense. He couldn't find it in himself to continue asking. The priority now was to protect Holley.

"Don't worry. I have told my father about your problem. He agreed to send some guards to protect you. I'm pretty sure those bad guys that have followed you won't dare to show up again. Moreover, I have announced that you are my fiancee. Nobody can lay a finger on you," Black reassured her, proud of being able to help her

However, no matter what he said, Holley's mind couldn't find peace.

Ever since Ferry found her, she lived with a feeling of an impending doom.

'What can Black do for me?

The only thing he can do well is brag. While I am trouble, he keeps bragging about his family and power. When compared to Ferry's power, the Hu family is nothing!' Holley thought with fear once again oozing out of her body. She knew Black couldn't do a thing to intimidate Ferry. On the contrary, Ferry would send Black running for his life if they ever came face to face.

Holley's face turned sullen as she was tired of Black's complacent boasts.

Only a while ago, Ferry had assaulted her. 'Where was Black and his powerful family while I went through that stigma?' she thought with fury.

Just the mere thought of Ferry left her trembling. Everything that had happened five hours ago came rushing back to her.

With a sigh, she remembered it all over again.

"Are you planning on hiding from me forever? Do you think that will work?" Ferry asked with a sneer.

His voice was poisonous to Holley. She felt herself paralyzed as soon as she heard it.

She was both afraid and nervous. The only thing she could do was stare at him since her body was unable to move even a bit.

"Are you afraid of me?" All of a sudden Ferry approached her and held her chin intimately. He smiled maliciously and asked, "Do you think that you can get away from me? Or do you think that I know nothing about your crimes?"

Suddenly he leaned back and laughed hysterically like a psychopath.

"What...what do you want from me?" Holley asked in a trembling voice after mustering up the courage.

"Don't act naive. I am sure you know what I want! I want you! I want to fuck you. You are my woman." Ferry spoke with lust written all over his face. The next moment, he threw Holley on the bed, pouncing on her like a wild animal. Quickly, he stripped her off.

Holley was so scared that she couldn't even lift a finger. Her mind had gone blank.

She didn't want to resist Ferry's request because she knew she couldn't escape him. Once she had resisted him, the outcome was horrible. It only made things worse for her. She was treated even more mercilessly. Hence she learnt she had to be obedient if she cared about herself.

After Ferry was finished, he lay in bed, smoking leisurely. However, when he noticed Holley's trembling body and pathetic face, he flared up immediately.

"Are you unhappy?" Ferry asked coldly.

Without sparing any time to think, she shook her head. She didn't dare to displease Ferry because she knew that he would punish her.

"How is Sheryl doing?" he asked. Ferry hated Holley, but he loathed Sheryl with a passion. He wouldn't spare either of them.

"Leila moved back to Dream Garden so Sheryl moved out. It won't be long before Sheryl and Charles decide to part ways completely," she answered carefully. Luckily her plan to make use of Leila went pretty well. This was good news at least.

"Part ways?" Ferry snorted. "Do you think I am an idiot? It is only a matter of days before Charles and Sheryl patch things up! You are an idiot!"

Ferry said and slapped Holley right across her cheek.

This blow was expected hence Holley pressed her cheek with her palm. She didn't dare utter a word. With her head bowed, she tried to avoid eye contact.

"Finish your mission! Otherwise you'll be sorry!" Ferry threatened. Ferry got himself dressed and took his leave. Holley was cast aside by him like a piece of ragged clothes. He didn't feel anything for her. Now in this empty room, she lay alone.

She waited till he was far away from her before she allowed her tears to fall.

"Holley, what's wrong?" Black asked confusedly as he tugged on her arm again.

Holley was pulled back to reality soon.

"Nothing, I was lost in some miserable thoughts. And Black, I really have no idea who these guys are! Are you sure you will be able to protect me?" she asked softly. In the beginning, she had believed that Black could really make an enemy of Ferry. But that was before she knew about Ferry's power. She had been naive then.

Ferry was a demon while Black was merely a jelly fish. She was playing him too.

Even though she wanted to get rid of him, she dared not to break up with Black now. She knew he was still useful for her.

"You can rest assured. As long as I'm with you, nobody will dare to hurt you!" Black gloated proudly. He then looked at Holley, who was lying in his arms, full of love.

"Thank you, Black. Your words are putting my mind at ease." Her voice was sweet, but Black couldn't see her impatient expression.

Then Holley set herself free from Black's embrace and said, "Black, I'm tired and in need of rest. Could you please leave now?"

"You know, I want to take care of you. I am planning on staying here tonight," Black replied immediately. Holley knew what he really wanted. Of course taking care of her was only an excuse.

Only a few hours ago, she had been molested by Ferry. Thanks to her clothes, her bruises were hidden from Black.

Pale-faced, Holley held Black's hand and sighed, "You have already angered your father for my sake. If you don't go home tonight, what will your father think of me? He is going to think of me as a bad woman. If that happens, I am afraid he won't let us get married."

"But I really miss you. We haven't been together for a very long time. Holley, please let me stay here tonight, okay?" Black pleaded as he felt her tender skin and saw her beautiful face. In this moment, he wanted her so badly.

Holley stared at him shyly. But internally, she felt sick at the mere thought of staying with him. If it hadn't been for his family background, she would have dumped him a long time ago.
