Bailey was gagged by several security guards and forced outside the banquet hall]
She struggled fiercely, ready to fight back
Just as she looked up. Alexander appeared before her.[]
He yanked the gag from her mouth
Tears filled her eyes as she tried to speak calmly: “Evan was never sick. Stella”
SLAP!]
A vicious slap landed across her face
Alexander looked at her with unprecedented coldness in his eyes
Where is
Exan? h
he demanded.]]
Bailey could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Tears filled her eyes as her mind went blank: “What… did you say?”
“Stella says you kidnapped Evan.” He grabbed her hair, forcing her to look up at him: “I’ll ask you one more time. Where is Evan?”
Bailey’s heart died completely in that moment
He didn’t believe her words at all. He only cared about his child with Stella
Thinking of this, her voice grew cold: “I didn’t take him.“[
However, to Alexander, her numb expression just looked like a refusal to how down.
“Won’t talk? Fine. Take her to the attic,” he ordered dispassionately, lerring her fall to the ground.]]
The bodyguards immediately grabbed Bailey roughly and dragged her toward the attic
Stella rushed out to the hallway, catching Alexander’s arm and beginning to cry
“Alexander: Did she tell you? Where’s my Evan? What has she done with my baby
Alexander steadied her shoulders, speaking softly: “Don’t panic. Bailey isn’t a cruel person. She won’t harm the child”
Stella’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light. Her voice bruke with heavier subs: “I’m just afraid the shock might cause his condition to return Alexander, Ivan is all 1 have. I can’t lose him.“[
Alexander stared at her in silence before finally frowning: “What do you want to do?”
Stella’s lips curved into a slight smile as she stood on tiptoe, whispering something in his ear.
Sering he was about to object, she clutched his sleeve desperately: “Alexander, I know you still have feelings for her, but nothing is more important than Evan right now “[]
Alexander ulunately couldn’t bring himself to refuse
Bailey was taken to the attic, her hands and feet bound, her mouth gagged
No one cared that she’d undergone a mascarriage procedure just three days earlier. And no one worried that she had just lost her child.]
Bailey struggled, trying to get up from the flour.
The security guards who had restrained her suddenly entered the attic |
“Halu, this chuck is really hot, the burly leader said, running his hand bewdly over her fare
Bailey froze: “What are you doing?!”
“What are we doing? Teaching you a lesson, of course, you bitch!”
With that, several filthy hands roamed over her body as someone tore at her clothes
Downstairs. Stella’s party continued with music and laughter
While upstairs, Exiley was experiencing a living bell
She desperately tried to escape the violating hands.
“Alexander! Alexander!”
screamed his name in desperation
She couldn’t believe Alexander would go this far“]
She was his wife!
How could he push her into such a terrible situation based on another woman’s lie!]]
She cried out in despair: “I never kidnapped Evan!”
Stella is lying to you! I have a recording! Evan was never sick! This was all Stella’s plan!”
Her words were cut short by another slap across her already swollen f
face
Stella burst in, her hair disheveled, looking more pitiful than Bailey herself.]]
“Where have you hadden Evan? Tell me?‘ she wailed. “You hate me, you resent me, fine–come after me! But the child is innocent!”
Stella’s performance was more convincing than any stage actress.
Hadley tried to push her away, but Stella suddenly slipped a small knife into her hand.[]
“Bailey, you forced me to do this,” Stella whispered with malicious satisfaction.
Then, gripping Bailey’s hand, she violently drove the knife into her own body.
*Stella!”
Alexander rushed in from the doorway, kicked Bailey away, and cradled Stella in his arms, his eyes burning with murderous rage.]
“If anything happens to Stella, I’ll make your entire family pay with their lives?
Bailey clutched her aching abdomen where he’d kicked her, the pain eventually giving way to numbness]
After sending Stella to the hospital, Alexander returned, grabbing Bailey by the throat, his eyes showing no mercy: “Still won’t talk? Must I force in our of you?”
Bailey only felt his fingers tightening around her neck
In her ears, the promises he had endlessly whispered during their early marriage echoed mockingly
After a long silence, she looked up at him, tears mingling with her bitter smile: “Want to know? Divorce me, and I’ll tell you.”
