Chapter 406 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

When she woke up in a daze, Leilani realized she was in the presidential suite. Andrew had his back at her. He was on the phone in front of the French window.

“President house?” Andrew hesitated for a second and repeated what he just heard, “are you saying they move from the castle to the president’s house?”

“Yes. Tell Jaxon my thanks.”

Andrew hung up the phone. He looked worried. Leilani leaned against the bed. She seldom saw him like this.

“What’s wrong?” Leilani couldn’t know what he was told. But she could put two and two together.

Andrew didn’t plan to hide it from Leilani.

“Jessica was taken to the president’s house.”

“President house? Why was she taken there?”

“Logan had an adopted son. He bought Jessica in the black market.”

“The presidential house is more guarded. It’ll be more difficult to take Jessica.”

Taking her away was one thing. It was difficult to meet her.

“It’s hard, but not impossible.”

“What’s your plan?”

“Rebecca is going to throw her bachelor party in the president house. I get an invitation.”

Leilani felt her eyelids jumping. She hesitated and said.

“So, do you mean you go to the party?”

“Not I, we,” Andrew said with deep meaning, “I want you to go with me.”

She was willing to go to the party. As long as she could find Jessica, she could get the drug.

But…

“I have to tell you Rebecca is just pretending to be nice to me. She doesn’t really like me. Besides, after everything, I think she hates me. Do you think we can get in?”

Andrew lowered his head and opened the invitation so Leilani could see.

“The bachelor party is a masquerade.”

Leilani froze at the words. But she soon realized what it meant.

A masquerade meant she and Andrew didn’t have to show their faces.

The Masquerade Party

Leilani opened the gift box that Andrew prepared for her. She picked up a court dress and a diamond mask with wings.

The mask was only for covering the upper part of a face. Eyes, nose, and mouth could be seen because it was convenient for usual activities.

Leilani put on the mask and then looked at herself in the mirror.

She was basically satisfied with the look on her. The mask was good for covering. No one could recognize her easily.

Leilani looked down at her belly, finding that her stomach was a little plump. Luckily, the skirt was big, so the plump belly wasn’t conspicuous.

“Andrew is a rigorous man,” Leilani said to herself.

It was not convenient to ensure the identification of every guest in the Masquerade party, but every guest should go through security before entering the presidential palace. Besides, according to the invitation letter, guns and any dangerous goods were prohibited. Therefore, Leilani had kept her minigun in the hotel.

Leilani and Andrew quickly went through security and entered the presidential palace.

At this time, it was gradually dark. The night was coming, and the lanterns started to shine, which made the whole castle into a bright and fancy place.

All the guests arrived in succession. Now the banquet ball was full of people.

Leilani looked around and then exchanged a glance with Andrew. He intended to find Jessica Clifford with her, but Leilani suggested Andrew should go by himself. Because she thought he could still have the right to do something even if she was arrested.

According to the information that Andrew got before, Jessica should be in the east of the presidential palace, but the specific location was unknown.

The single party didn’t begin still. People gathered in twos or threes in the garden. While they were chatting with others comfortably, they were drinking.

A breeze was blowing. Men and women were chatting and laughing.

Leilani was hurriedly walking to the presidential palace. When she was close to the presidential palace, it became quieter.

Suddenly—

Leilani was grabbed by one hand.

“Ah— Who is it?”

Leilani was frightened and couldn’t stop sighing, but someone stopped her. The man took her to a dense tree, and her back hit heavily against the trunk.

Leilani felt an aggressive man walking toward her. The man kept breathing. The hot air always sprayed on her skin. She felt extremely hot.

Leilani was shocked.

The man took her to stand under a dense tree in one swift movement. She now stood between the trunk and the man.

The man covered her mouth in one hand and held her waist on another hand. They were very close to each other.

She was annoyed and wanted to leave the man, but she couldn’t get out of him. She couldn’t even move or shout.

The man had expected that Leilani would struggle to get out of him by way of kicking him with her knees, so he pressed Leilani’s knees tight at first.

The man was much taller than Leilani. He lowered down, touching her neck with his cold lips.

The man continued to go down and kiss her. Suddenly, Leilani felt a shiver of anxiety. It was like a shock went through her body.

Leilani was afraid and presumed that the man was a s.e.xy freak.

But when she heard the voice of the man, she changed her mind.

“Why are you here?” the man asked.

Leilani was shocked all of a sudden. She thought Waylen should be in the banquet ball and never expected that she would meet him here.

Waylen always stayed with her.

Leilani tried to keep silent. On the way, there was no light. Since it was totally dark, Leilani couldn’t see him. She could only feel his breath.

Waylen’s lips were very close to her face.

Since Leilani arrived in Cambola City, she had not stayed with Waylen for a long time. She found he had never comforted or explained to her as if nothing happened. Therefore, she became annoyed at him and bit his arms hard.

“When a stranger kissed you, you didn’t bite him. But when you know it is me, and you start to hurt me?”

“What if It isn’t me, will you obey?” Waylen was unhappy and asked.

“Let…me go!”

Leilani’s voice was unclear, but Waylen knew she tried to resist him. Waylen, however, didn’t let her go.

“You didn’t tell me why you are here.”

Leilani really wanted to rebuke Waylen for what he had done, but she took the risk to come here and tried to be silent for safety.

Therefore, Leilani just answered coldly, “It is none of your business.”

“Did you come here with Mr. Clifford?”

“It doesn’t matter to you,” Leilani said scornfully.

“You shouldn’t come here. You should leave here as soon as possible. Promise me. Otherwise…”

Leilani gave a glance to Waylen. She didn’t know what Waylen wanted. For the sake of Diana Summer, Waylen would get married to another woman, but now he held her tight. Leilani couldn’t understand.

“Otherwise, I will make love with you here.”

“Are you crazy?” Leilani couldn’t stop swearing at him.

“Tell me why you are here first.”

Leilani had to answer, “To find Jessica.”

At that time, a woman was walking toward them and said from a distance, “Waylen? Are you here?”

Hearing the voice, Waylen raised his eyebrows. Leilani was also anxious. She knew it was Rebecca.

Telling from the shadow, Leilani and Waylen saw that Rebecca was walking on a cobblestone road. Waylen still pressed against Leilani. She became more anxious.

Leilani wasn’t afraid that Rebecca would find her, but she was worried that Rebecca would get her out of here. Leilani’s aim was to find Jessica, get the medicine, and get back to the City as soon as possible. She didn’t care about other things.

Leilani tried to lower her voice and said to Waylen, “Waylen Bamford, do you know you will place me in a dilemma?”
