That was the only thought in mind. I can’t let them have their way!
My brain raced, and I soon came up with a crazy idea. Without hesitation, I declared, “You’re wrong! I was the one who set you up, not Anthony! The men had found me back then, but I directed them to you instead. I hated you for taking Anthony away from me and wanted you to lose your virginity! Fool, you don’t even know who to take revenge! Who else would I set up if not for you?”
Hearing my words, Rylee marched over angrily and snagged my hair. “What was that? You’re a liar! You made up nonsense to try to save Anthony, right? There’s no way you’re that smart. You’re a fool!”
I endured the pain and shot her a scornful look. “Why? Did you forget how you put up an act to gain Anthony’s sympathy? I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine so you’d know your place. I didn’t know you’d stick to Anthony like glue after the incident. That was unexpected. Luckily, you’re finally losing to your stupidity!”
Anger heated Rylee’s blood as she grabbed my collar. She then gave me a tight slap. “B*tch!”
Turning at her shoulder, she commanded, “Two of you, come over here. You can play with her until she’s no longer breathing!”
The men hesitated. “We agreed upon one man. That way, we won’t get too much time in jail. If you insist on adding another woman, that isn’t possible…”
Rylee shut her eyes to regain her composure. She was shaking with fury as she managed between gritted teeth, “I’ll triple your initial pay.”
They promptly perked up at her words and came for me in delight.
Once they left, Anthony got the chance to grapple with the remaining few men.
Alas, I wasn’t that lucky. Although they couldn’t subdue Anthony, it would be easy for them to restrain me, a harmless woman.
Shortly after, their unfamiliar breaths were all over my neck and ears.
I clenched my jaw so I wouldn’t make any embarrassing sounds. Please, God, let me win this gamble.
This crazy scene shocked Rylee’s boyfriend senseless, who immediately scurried toward the bathroom to grab his clothes. He was putting on his clothes as he ran for the door. “Damn it. I only wanted to get more jobs by keeping you company. I had no idea you’re a psycho! This has nothing to do with me. I’m innocent! Don’t drag me into the mess!”
The young man stumbled toward the door and turned the doorknob. The moment the door opened, someone kicked him back into the house.
As he fell to the ground, the men who were touching and kissing me stopped abruptly. The next second, Nathaniel appeared before Rylee’s boyfriend, clad in a black trench coat.
I instantly relaxed at the sight of him. Thank God he arrived in time. I knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to me.
Rylee was so determined to get her revenge that she no longer feared Nathaniel. She demanded, “Why are you here? Can’t you see I’m busy?”
Nathaniel had never been treated this way before. He gave her a creepy look before whipping out his mini pistol that scared the life out of Freja earlier. He fired two shots that hit the beefy men who were around me.
Pointing his pistol at Rylee, he tilted his head and asked, “You want to try it out too, right?”
Obviously, Rylee didn’t have a death wish. She shut up at once and retreated to a corner obediently.
The other muscular men heard the commotion and stopped disturbing Anthony. When they saw their colleagues on the ground after being shot, they thought Nathaniel was here to save Anthony. As he was armed, they immediately halted in their tracks.
Anthony took the chance to knock them all out. Drained of energy, he collapsed onto the sofa and blinked weakly at Nathaniel. Though he had already lost his ability to fight, the hostility in his gaze was evident.
Nathaniel spared him a sinister look before pocketing his pistol. He came over to me and untied the ropes bounding me. I felt the world spin as he picked me up and marched out of the house. He was careful enough to avoid the pool of blood on the floor.
Behind me, I heard Rylee yelling like a madwoman. I could hear her voice commanding the unhurt beefy men to continue their sodomy act on Anthony.
However, it wasn’t important anymore. When Nathaniel’s car drove out of the neighborhood, I saw Rylee’s boyfriend talking to someone on the street, and there was a police car behind them flashing its lights.
Nathaniel didn’t send me back to the Featherstone residence, nor the villa where Nora and I resided earlier. Instead, he brought me to a house in the suburbs.
It was located on top of a hill, so it took some time to drive up the hill. Besides the basic structure, there were no other houses nearby. It fitted his usual disdainful behavior.
After alighting from the car, Nathaniel’s gentlemanly side disappeared. He dragged me into the house and chucked me onto the sofa unceremoniously.
“Ouch!” I hissed in pain. On the way here, I had regained my senses and was extra sensitive to pain now. Frowning, I held my arm that was tingling in pain from the harsh drop.
Seeing my reaction, Nathaniel furrowed his brows. It seemed like he was on the verge of exploding in anger.
I sat up and returned his glare so he’d know I was still the prickly hedgehog who wouldn’t cower in fear even if he treated me rudely.
After a brief stalemate, Nathaniel suddenly picked up a stack of magazines nearby and hurled them in my direction.
The sheets fluttered in the wind and landed all around me in a harmless manner.
I looked down and saw the cover page instantly. The photo displayed the scene of me breaking into Rylee’s house, where the four of us exchanged awkward looks. It was an extremely embarrassing photo.
The paparazzi gave it an eye-catching headline—A foursome in the upper-class society – how would you fare?
I smirked at the sight of that. The paparazzi sure were efficient enough to publish the article in such a short time.
“I can’t believe that you can still smile,” came Nathaniel’s icy sneer.
I gathered my thoughts before picking up a magazine. Gazing at the clearest photo available, I joked, “I look nice here.”
“The article sure is interesting,” Nathaniel added.
Though he was being sarcastic, I didn’t get upset. Calmly, I flipped the magazine open and read it aloud. “The millionaire and his current lover were enjoying a threesome. His ex caught them in the act. To get him back, she joined them willingly. I’m impressed…”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud upon imagining the newscaster reporting this in a ridiculous accent. It was beyond me why Nathaniel got upset. I cleared my throat as my smile faded away. Putting on a serious front, I said, “Indeed, if I were the owner, I’d increase the pay of the ones who took the photos and wrote the article…”
Before I could finish, Nathaniel gripped my chin and lifted me into the air.
“Do I look like I’m joking?” He arched a brow frostily. “You’re going all out for Anthony, huh?”
Oh, so that was why he got upset. Everyone thinks I’ve l discarded my dignity because of Anthony, and he’s upset because of that.
I took his hand that was gripping my chin so I could at least breathe. “You know me well. I can even disown John, so I don’t give a f*ck,” I argued.
Nathaniel’s lips curled upwards, but his eyes remained arctic and vicious, just like the day where he shot Tom continuously. “I had no idea you were a b*tch. Do you know that whenever you are with Anthony, your gaze and your actions resemble a dog begging for a pat on the back?”
“So what if I’m a dog?!” I shut my eyes and cried. With that said, my eyes snapped open as I glared at him savagely. Grinding my teeth, I declared, “Even if I’m a b*tch, that has nothing to do with you! You have no right to question me, for we are not related at all!”
Nathaniel froze as his grip went slack for a few seconds. Fury contorted his expression as he exerted force on my chin once more. “Sienna, don’t be ungrateful!”
“The same goes for you.” I swallowed a mouthful of blood so my parched throat would get some relief. “You’re no better than me.”
“Don’t compare the both of us,” came Nathaniel’s reply as his expression turned frosty. However, the glint in his gaze remained.
“What is the difference? I won’t give up on Anthony, and you’re attracted to me. Yes, I’m a b*tch for becoming his plaything, but at least I am honest. You, on the other hand, don’t even dare to admit your feelings. You hide in a corner like a disgusting rat and spy on my life, just like how you spied on Anthony back then!” I sneered, my fear for him long forgotten.
No hunter would allow himself to tremble in fear before his prey.
The first to fall in love had no choice but to surrender his heart and all.
Suddenly, Nathaniel threw me back onto the sofa. He seemed chagrined as he turned and refused to look at me. I felt pressured by his lurking presence. However, he said nothing, and I did not know what was going on in his mind.
There was no reason to discipline someone else. However, when there was an exception, that relationship was destined to be different.
