Chapter 39
In Amelia’s despair, she thought. Theo is crazy!”
Sweat dripped from her temples as she frantically pounded on the car window, trying to open the door and jump out However, the windows were locked, leaving her helpless.
The car sped down the road, heading to a place unknown to her.
The driver was a stranger, completely indifferent to everything happening in the back seat, not even turning his head.
Despair and panic overwhelmed her.
She forced herself to calm down and negotiated with Thea, “Stop the car. Someone will call the police soon. There are surveillance cameras on the road, and you can’t escape.
“You want to hurt me again? Haven’t you learned your lesson from last time?”
Of course, he knew the consequences, but he was no longer afraid. He stared at her intently. “Don’t be afraid. You’re my wife; there’s nothing wrong with me taking you away.
She thought, ‘How could he say that? We’ve already filed for divorce. How come he suddenly changed his mind”
Seeing they were headed to a remote area, in a moment of despair, she lunged toward the front seat, trying to distract the driver.
This completely enraged Theo, who roared, “Stop!”
Seeing that she wouldn’t listen, he grabbed her hair, held her down, and smashed her head against the car window, causing a dull sound,
A gash opened on her forehead, blood oozing out. Her heart instantly turned ice–cold, and her entire body stiffened.
She clenched her jaw, feeling a lump in her throat, afraid to even make a sound.
Her frightened and vulnerable expression satisfied Theo greatly
He said, “Good girl, Amelia Hike it when you’re obedient.”
His biggest requirement for women was that they must obey him.
He had been an adopted son since he was a child, and he needed to be observant and live according to his parents standards, thus lacking control over his life
That was why he frantically controlled Amelia.

This time, he was well prepared; he had ropes, to
Amelia closed her eyes in despair. The wound on her forehead ached, and her head became heavier.
She pursed her lipk, wanting to conserve her strength and wait for a chance to escape.
The driver drove the car into an old warehouse, and she was taken into a cold and damp small room.
It was dark and airtight all around, without even a
even a window.
She felt cold and shuddered; wrapping her arms around her body, she curled up in a corner.
She couldn’t figure out what Theo was up to. Did he simply want to torture her, or did he have other plans!
Her phone had been taken away, and she couldn’t contact anyone. Being locked up in this dark room, she could only hope that Vince would soon start looking for her since she stood him up.
Meanwlule, Vince was up to his ears in work.
Two hours ago, he was watching Sierra filming

Chapter 39
The wire had loosened, and she fell to the ground
Everyone was shocked, and once they realized what had happened, they rushed to her.
She had a cus on her eyebrow, and blood was gushing out.
It went without saying how important an artist’s face was.
It was basically the most important thing for a popular young actress.
It was the first day of shooting, and the staff and equipment weren’t fully in place. The sudden incident turned the scene into chaos at once.
“What are you waiting for! Get her to the hospital now,” Vince ordered, his face utterly sullen
No one dared to utter a sound.
He accompanied the staff to take Sierra to the hospital, where she was examined by the best doctor
The incident took him a lot of time, he glanced at his watch and saw it was almost 5 pi
He began to feel uneasy and wanted to contact Amelia at once.
After all, it was their first official date, and being late was not gentlemanly behavior. He wanted to make everything perfect.
Just as he was distracted. Sierra tugged at his clothes. “Vince, will I be disfigured? Will my fans stop liking me?”
“Don’t worry,” the doctor reassured her. The wound isn’t deep. As long as you apply medication on it properly, it won’t leave a scar.”
Vince glanced at Sierra. “Listen to the doctor, Sierra. I’ve got to go. I have an appointment with someone. Cody will stay with you
She refused, “No. Vince. I can’t get stitches without you here. Can’t you stay? I’m scared of needles. They’re terrifying.
“But…” He hesitated.
“Can’t you stay
for
or just a few minutes? Please. Stay with me” Her voice was soft and mournful, her eyes shimmering with tears.
Hearing this, everyone in the room, including the medical staff and Cody, looked at Vince, silently urging him to answer her so the doctor could proceed with the treatment
