Stanley\u2019s expression was ice\u2013cold. \u201cPaul\u2019s car has free rein in Hovendale. Blocking the roads won\u2019t work\u2014we won\u2019t make it in time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat should we do, Mr. Hawk?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley pulled out his phone and dialed Paul\u2019s father, Frank\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Hawks and Andrews had a long\u2013standing relationship, and he was acquainted with the old man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The call connected quickly, and Frank\u2019s voice came through \u201cStanley? What a surprise\u2013why are you calling me?\u201d Stanley\u2019s grip on his phone tightened, his voice sharp and commanding. \u201cYour son kidnapped someone under my protection. Think carefully\u2013does he have any private villas in the outskirts?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a private villa on the outskirts, Wendy slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the extravagant design of the room\u2013lavish furnishings and expensive decor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where was she?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She bolted upright in bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy, you\u2019re awake?\u201d A man\u2019s voice rang out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy turned sharply and saw Paul standing nearby. Her dark eyes instantly narrowed. \u201cPaul? What are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had planned to return today as Dr. Ceylan, but instead, Paul had abducted her and brought her here. Paul smirked. \u201cWhat do you think I\u2019m doing? That day, you beat me up so badly\u2013shouldn\u2019t we settle that score?\u201d He had never suffered such humiliation. There was no way he could just let it go!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s fingers subtly moved to her waist, but her face changed when she realized something. She had changed outfits backstage, and she was now wearing a sleeveless white dress. She hadn\u2019t brought her silver needles or medicinal powder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul suddenly sat down on the bed beside her. \u201cWendy, I\u2019ll give you two choices. You can either grovel and apologize to me, or\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His gaze lingered on her delicate, doll\u2013like face. With her makeup on, she looked even more breathtaking- stunning enough to make his heart race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy edged back warily. \u201cOr what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul\u2019s lips curved up. \u201cOr you become my girlfriend. If you agree, then I\u2019ll just chalk what happened that day up to playful flirting between lovers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was trying this again\u2013asking her to be his girlfriend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cThat\u2019s not happening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cWendy, don\u2019t be so stubborn, Do you know how many women would kill for a chance to be with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy had no intention of wasting another second on him. Without another word, she jumped off the bed and bolted for the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alas, she didn\u2019t make it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul grabbed her and shoved her back onto the bed. \u201cWendy, if I can\u2019t have your heart, then I\u2019ll take your body instead!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pinned her down, his hands roughly pulling at her dress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo! Let go of me!\u201d Wendy struggled with all her strength, her nails digging into his neck and leaving a deep scratch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was a wild one indeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul, now even more fired up, slapped her across the face\u2014hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Smack!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The force of the blow sent stars bursting in Wendy\u2019s vision. A metallic taste filled her mouth, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul quickly stripped off his shirt and unbuckled his belt. The sight of the girl beneath him\u2014her fair skin glowing under the light, her delicate arms and slender legs\u2013made his breathing grow heavy. Even with all the women he had been with, he knew this one was different.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pushed her skirt up and forced her legs apart. \u201cWendy, I\u2019m in love with you. Just be mine!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy let out a bloodcurdling scream. \u201cAhhh!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
