Chapter 18 Is it Elijah’s Plan again?
After hanging up the phone, Elijah threw his mobile onto the table with a loud thud.
Freya Stone was startled, standing quietly on the side, not daring to make a sound. Even for an ordinary person, dealing with the complications of an ex-boyfriend was intolerable, let alone someone as arrogant as Elijah Silverton.
“Um…” she spoke softly, attempting to say something.
Elijah was furious at the moment. Even looking at Freya Stone was irritating.
Unable to calm down, he paced back and forth, clenching his teeth so hard that they made a grinding sound. His eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger. He knew deep down that his intense rage was because he believed the woman he desired had an undesirable side. It shattered all the beautiful fantasies he had about that night.
It seemed that, in this place, he would recall those unpleasant scenes earlier.
He stepped out of the private room.
Freya subconsciously followed, “Mr Silverton…”
Elijah, still ablaze with anger, snapped, “Get lost!”
She halted her steps. Even if Elijah intended to give her a chance, would he be lenient given the circumstances today?
Freya tactfully didn’t follow further. She had come here today hoping that Elijah Silverton would show mercy, allowing her to continue working as a doctor. But now, it seemed unlikely. So, she raised her foot to leave. But then she saw a man about to enter the venue.
Ronan Vega came for some entertainment. At the entrance, he encountered Elijah and greeted him with a smile, “Mr Silverton…”
Elijah gave him a glance, ignored him, and walked out directly, heading to his car.
Ronan Vega didn’t mind. Elijah was known for his bad temper. He continued to smile.
Freya Stone, standing far away, didn’t hear what they said, but she saw Ronan Vega and Elijah Silverton exchanging words. And Elijah left without much response.
Her heart tightened instantly.
Last time, Elijah wanted this man to harm her.
This time, did Elijah intentionally bring her here to repeat the same?
For a moment, she wanted to end it all with Elijah!
This man was too wicked.
No, he was downright a beast.
Even if he hated her, was there a need to mistreat her repeatedly?
She turned around to walk back, intending to find a place to hide. However, Ronan Vega noticed her.
“Freya Stone!” Ronan Vega recognized her silhouette, jogged over, and grabbed her arm.
Freya turned in shock.
“This time, let’s see where you can run!” Ronan Vega had been looking for her everywhere and unexpectedly found her here. It was like finding something effortlessly.
Freya steadied her mind and smiled, “I didn’t run away last time. I had an urgent matter to attend to.”
Ronan Vega squinted his peach blossom shaped eyes. “Do you think I’m stupid? That easy to fool? My injuries haven’t healed yet. I haven’t forgotten; you looked fierce with that knife!”
Freya Stone’s heart trembled. Last time, she had been prepared, barely escaping from his clutches. This time, caught off guard, escaping as easily as before was nearly impossible.
All she could do was keep a calm façade.
Smiling apologetically, she said, “It was an accident. I didn’t mean to…”
“Is that so?”
Whether it was an accident or not, Ronan Vega saw through her. Without arguing, he smiled wickedly. “Since last time was an accident, it means you’re willing, right? Now, let’s continue what we didn’t finish last time?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Freya felt a wave of panic. “Um…”
“Don’t want to?” Ronan Vega sneered. “Didn’t you say it was an accident?”
His expression turned sinister. “Let me tell you, in this world, no one has dared to harm me. You’re the first. If I let you off easily, I wouldn’t be Ronan Vega!”
He forcibly held her wrist. “Come with me!”
Freya struggled. She knew if she obediently went with him, it would be over for her!
“How did you know I was here? Did Elijah tell you?” She still held a glimmer of hope. Maybe this man wasn’t as deranged as she feared.
Ronan Vega impatiently responded, “Yeah.”
Well, this woman was initially given to him by Elijah Silverton.
Freya Stone felt a chill in her heart.
Sure enough, it was Elijah Silverton!
“I have a private room here. Let’s go there and have some fun. It’s strange; someone as exceptional as you, and Elijah hasn’t enjoyed you himself. Does he not like women?” Ronan Vega laughed as he looked at Freya Stone.
Elijah never had a girlfriend. People who knew him claimed he only had male friends and no female companions. Many speculated he was impotent, or maybe he was homosexual. In any case, it was abnormal.
Freya Stone sneered. He didn’t dislike women? He just disliked her!
Look at how angry he was because of Liora Valentine’s entanglement with her ex-boyfriend. If he was indifferent, why would he be so enraged?
“I should really thank Elijah,” Ronan Vega laughed. “Without him, how could I have met you?”
Even though he got injured that day, the cold and composed manner in which she threatened him with a knife left a lasting impression.
Most women, even if unwilling, would scream and shout. But not her!
Freya Stone’s eyes were filled with coldness. She bit her lip hard, hating Elijah to the core!
“I should thank him as well!”
Ronan Vega’s eyes lit up, “What, are you willing to follow me?”
“Um, I’m willing to…”
Suddenly, Freya lowered her head and bit the arm he was holding on to her. Ronan Vega was in pain, and Freya took the opportunity to bump into his face again.
Ronan Vega’s nose immediately started to bleed.
“Ugh!” he cried out in pain and covered his face.
Freya took the opportunity to run away. She was panicked, but she didn’t spare any effort. She knew that if she was caught, it would be miserable.
She had to succeed. She ran so fast that it felt like wind was blowing under her feet. As she ran, she looked back to see if Ronan Vega had caught up. Even if she didn’t see anyone, she never relaxed and ran to a crowded place before taking her time. Her hair was soaked with sweat, and she stopped and sat on the roadside because she had no strength left. She was breathing heavily, looking at the various people on the road, and suddenly covered her face and cried.
Freya bit her lip hard, hating Elijah Silverton in her heart!
He kept harming her time and again. She couldn’t live with that guy. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would end up killing her. She must get rid of Elijah Silverton. However, for the time being, she couldn’t think of a good plan. Feeling helpless, she cowered on the side of the road, like an abandoned puppy, pitiful and lonely. She didn’t dare go back to the mansion; she was afraid of Elijah. But she had nowhere else to go.
Without money, there was no reliance. Now that she had the only means for survival, she decided to make a visit to the Stone family.
She stood up, determined to go back, and hailed a taxi. Sitting in the taxi, looking out the window, her mood calmed down a bit.
When she arrived, she paid the fare and got off, walking inside.
