Chapter 40: I will definitely come to save you

Without a knife and being restrained by the man, Annie felt powerless. She knelt down on the ground and cried with her face covered, feeling helpless.

"Don't cry," the man coldly comforted her.

Annie couldn't listen to him at all. She cried miserably on the ground, looking very pathetic. The man seemed to sigh helplessly and squatted down to touch Annie's hair. After she resisted and pushed him away, he said in a low voice, "I have been thinking about you for a long time. I couldn't resist it for a while; sorry."

He had been thinking about her for a long time? In other words, this pervert didn't just act impulsively but had planned it out beforehand?

He pretended to be Carl and sent her messages saying that he knew she was Carl's woman. And Carl announced that she was his woman at Pacha Nightclub that night.

Annie thought carefully about it; there were men of this height and build present at that time besides Brandon - Benjamin and many rich kids too. Mr Ross' brothers looked down upon her so they wouldn't do such things.

Therefore, the man in front of her might be one of Carl's brothers who knew him well enough to know when he was in meetings when she called earlier today.

With this thought in mind, Annie became clear-headed again - only those who hung around with Carl would do something like this!

She shuddered with fear at the thought of telling him everything after begging him earlier on to let go of herself because if he told Carl everything then not only would they solve their problem with Carl but also get rid of them!

The man picked up the short knife which made Annie think about killing Carl after tricking him into drinking drugged wine using fake contracts.

"Are you planning to trick Carl into drinking the drugged wine and then kill him with this knife?" he asked.

Annie clenched her fists in anger. This man was quite smart; he saw through her plan at a glance.

He threw away the short knife and warned Annie coldly, "If you encounter danger again, find me instead of risking yourself like this."

"Find you?" Annie sneered. "I don't even know who you are, what your name is or what you look like! How can I find you?!"

The man didn't reply but took her phone and added his number to WhatsApp before returning it to Annie.

"As long as you send me a message, I will definitely come to save you as soon as possible," he said.

Annie looked at the WhatsApp name on her phone - Mr Night. She quickly recalled but couldn't think of anyone surnamed Night. She guessed that it must be a fake name since the man in front of her didn't want to reveal his true identity or any suspicious information about himself.

While she was lost in thought with lowered head, the man suddenly picked her up which made Annie struggle desperately thinking that he wanted to do something bad again. However, all he did was put her back on bed and cover her with blankets while saying softly next to ear: "Sleep well tonight; don't wait for Carl anymore because he won’t come back."

Annie didn’t understand what he meant by “he won’t come back” so she frowned and asked: "What do you mean by 'he won’t come back'?"

The man left without answering directly; it seemed like there were some urgent matters that needed attending too urgently.

Although Annie hated him so much that she wished she could tear him apart right now, she felt exhausted at this moment and just wanted to sleep immediately. But still forcing herself not give up waiting for Carl!

She couldn't believe the words of a rapist! She had to be fully alert and wait for Carl here to solve him!

As for that pervert, he didn't threaten her with Fiona so she could take it easy on him. But neither of them would escape from her wrath!

Annie clenched her fists and made a silent vow in her heart - she wouldn’t let them go easily!
