Chapter 410
"My students wouldn't risk their life like you do."
I held her close and whispered, "Don't be mad, Ms. Martinez. I know I messed up. After what I just went through, can you cut me some slack this time?"
She sighed, "What did I do to deserve a student like you? Look at the other teachers' students. Which one dares to kiss their teacher?"
"Ms. Martinez, I swear I won't joke around like this again," I said, trying to sound sincere.
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, I give up."
I grinned and buried my face in her neck, taking in her scent. "Ms. Martinez, it's so good to see you again."
She hugged me tightly. "Don't go to Crystal Nation anymore. It's too dangerous."
I laughed.Ella glared at me. "I don't want you in danger. So, no more trips to Crystal Nation."
Her words hit me hard. "Ms. Martinez, do I really matter that much to you?"
Ella pouted, "You're overthinking it. I just don't want anything to happen to my student."
I moved closer again.
"John, I'm the teacher. Without my permission, you can't."
"Ms. Martinez, can I kiss you?"
"No!"
"Can I?"
"No."
"I really want to kiss!"
"Okay."
After a lot of back and forth, Ms. Martinez finally gave in.
Looking at her slightly swollen red lips, I felt pretty satisfied.
My college dream had finally come true.
"Ella, can I leave a mark on you?"
"What mark?"
Under Ella's puzzled gaze, I moved closer and left my unique mark on her.
"John, you jerk! How could you do this to me?"
I grinned. "From now on, Ms. Martinez is my private teacher."
Ella covered her collar. "Next time, don't even think about coming to my house."
I gave a mischievous smile. "My place works too."
But teasing her like that got me kicked out of her house.
Staring at the closed door, I felt helpless. "Ms. Martinez, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Let me in!"
"No, it's too late. You should go. Don't knock anymore, or you'll disturb the neighbors, and it'll be trouble if they call the cops."
I checked the time; it was only 8:30. Where could I go this early?
I pondered, 'To Marry's place? No. Find Ruby? No, it's Saturday, and she's with The Allen Family. Look for Mia? No, she definitely wouldn't let me off easy tonight. Lucy is also inconvenient; she has dance practice until ten, and I really don't want to bother her. How about Kelsey or Mya? Not a good idea either; I wouldn't be in the right state, and I don't want to have casual sex with them. Lauren isn't a good option either; she's too needy, and I'd be sore the next day. It's a pity Rita isn't home, and Aurora is staying at the rental place. It wouldn't be convenient for me to stay with her, even though we're siblings, we still need to avoid suspicion. Right, Amelia!'
I lightly slapped my face, feeling foolish. Amelia was pregnant and alone in Sevan City, and I only thought of her now.
I was such a jerk.
I quickly dialed Amelia's number, and soon, she answered, but her voice was anxious, "John, come save me!"
I felt a surge of fear. "Where are you? I'm coming right now!"
"Hurry, we're at Golden Sunset Estates. Hurry, Ms. Wilson is here too."
Before she could finish, the call was cut off.
I felt extremely tense. I looked up and gritted my teeth, "Steven, if you dare touch either of them, I will kill you!"
I took a cab to Golden Sunset Estates, continuously dialing their numbers. At first, I could get through, but soon, their phones were turned off.
I said to the driver, "Keep the change."
I tossed a few bills at the driver and stared at the tightly closed villa gate. Spotting a brick nearby, I picked it up.
The gate was locked, so I carefully climbed over the iron fence and jumped into the yard. The house looked pitch black from the outside, but a faint light seeping through the curtain gap told me someone was inside.
Calling the cops seemed like the best move, but what would happen after that? Steven still had leverage over Katherine.
I couldn't worry about that now. I knocked on the door. "Mr. Walton, it's me, John. I've returned from Greenvale City. I have something to report to you."
I tried to keep my voice steady, but my nerves were getting the best of me.
After calling out several times with no response, I grew more anxious. What was going on? The Walton Family should have a housekeeper. Why hadn't anyone come to open the door yet?
"Mr. Walton, open the door!"
As I continued to shout, I grew impatient. "Mr. Walton, if you don't open the door, I'm leaving!"
While shouting, I waved the brick in my hand, thinking that if he didn't respond soon, I'd break the nearby glass and get in.
Just then, the door opened, and a wave of fear washed over me.
A voice devoid of any emotion said, "If you don't want to die, don't make a sound!"
It was Steven, and what was pressed against my head was definitely a gun!
Steven actually had a gun!
I didn't dare move. Under the cover of darkness, I quietly slipped the brick into my back pocket and covered it with my shirt. "Okay, I won't make a sound!"
"Raise your hands where I can see them."
I did as he said, and then he added, "Good, now slowly turn around and step back inside. If you try to run, I'll blow your head off!"
His cold words filled me with fear.
The cold barrel of the gun pressed against the back of my head, and I was genuinely afraid he might accidentally pull the trigger and blow my brains out.
"Mr. Walton, what are you doing?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a sharp pain at the back of my head, and everything went black as I lost consciousness.
In a daze, I heard the sound of women crying and calling my name.
I struggled to open my eyes and saw two women tied up, crying and calling my name.
It was Amelia and Katherine.
I immediately snapped awake. "Amelia, Ms. Wilson."
Just then, Steven appeared out of nowhere and punched me so hard I nearly had a heart attack.
The pain made cold sweat break out on my forehead. My mouth was open, but I couldn't make a sound, as if someone had grabbed my throat.
"John, you have some nerve coming here alone."
Steven was wearing pajamas, holding a wine glass filled with crimson liquid in one hand and a whip in the other.
"Mr. Walton, what are you doing? I'm here to report to you."
The whip lashed across my body. At first, I only felt numbness where it hit, but the burning pain spread after a moment.
I felt intense pain, and Amelia and Katherine kept pleading, "Mr. Walton, please stop."
"Mr. Walton, let John go. I'll do anything you want," Amelia cried.
Steven took a sip of his wine. "Really? How about I have sex with you in front of him?"
Amelia's eyes were filled with terror. Before I could speak, Katherine said, "Mr. Walton, don't do anything rash. Illegal detention is a serious crime!"
Steven swung the whip at Katherine, tearing her thin shirt and revealing her pink underwear. A bright red welt stood out starkly on her smooth skin.
"You bitch, how dare you betray me!"
Steven nearly shouted, "You're nothing but a complete bitch!"
I felt a mix of shock and anger. I thought, 'Does Steven know about my relationship with Katherine?'
Katherine, enduring the pain, said, "Enough. What's the point of your promises if you never keep them? Can't I invest my own money?"
