SWNOVELS Chapter 125
Chapter: 125
He leaned in to kiss her.
Just as their lips were about to touch, he made a groaning sound and pushed her away. He tried to
stand up but he buckled and fell on one knee.
There was a tingling pain surging throughout his body. He looked up with great difficulty to see the
taser in her hand. “You…”
“Do you think I’d come to such a strange appointment without some kind of preparations?” Ariana was
short of breath and the hand holding the taser trembled slightly. But these feelings were quickly swept
away as soon as she succeeded.
The man made a few feeble attempts to stand up but remained bound to the floor.
She took a deep breath and looked at him, her face cold as ice.
“No matter how much I hate Theodore, I will not date a freak who won’t show his face. So what if you’re
the CEO of the BRD Group? Do you think I’m afraid of you? I’d like to see what you look like. You
mysterious freak.” @
With that, she reached out to pull off his mask. @
The man had no strength to dodge her hand. Ariana was about to take off his mask when the screen
suddenly turned off. The whole room quickly fell into darkness, leaving nothing but dead silence
behind.
Unable to see anything, Ariana instinctively squatted down on the floor and grabbed the back of the
chair beside her to feel more secure.
At that moment, the light patter of someone else’s footsteps could be heard beside her.
“Who is it?” Ariana was shocked and flustered, unable to see anything but the pitch-black darkness that
completely enveloped her.
The rustling of footsteps fell on her ears. Realizing something was wrong, Ariana stumbled toward the
area where the masked man had been lying on the floor. However, he was no longer there.
ALL she could feel on the floor was the residual warmth of his body. The man must have been saved
and taken away by his subordinate through the other exit in the room! ©
Ariana grew anxious and angry. This freak was quite cunning and even had a backup plan. But it was
too late to chase after him.
In the darkness, her heart beat faster with each passing second.
She leaned against the chair, breathing heavily, her forehead soaked in sweat. She did her best to calm
herself down, but the surrounding darkness didn’t help.
“Could someone turn on the light?” Ariana asked, her voice trembling. She couldn’t control her body. As
much as she tried to stand up, her legs were too weak.
Not a single sound was heard throughout the room except for her heavy breathing. Apart from that,
nothing but a deathly silence filled the area.
Like a blind person unable to see what was in front of her, Ariana fumbled around before using the
chair before her for support to stand up. But in the process, she knocked over a glass of red wine on
the table. The brisk sound of glass shattering on the floor caused her to tense up further, her throat
nearly as dry as a desert. Unable to utter a sound, all she could do was sob. @
The strong smell of wine permeated the air as her eyes welled up with tears.
She sobbed like a trapped animal as she began to slowly move her feet to find the door, But then, she
tripped over the chair beside her and slammed her forehead against the chair’s firm back.
This was the last straw. She didn’t hold back her tears anymore and let them flow freely. She squatted
on the floor defeated, hugging her knees close, and murmured, “Stop messing around! Whoever you
are, say something. Please don’t do this…”
At that moment, her mind pulled her back to her childhood. Her stepmother had just married into the
family, and her father had been so occupied with work that he was seldom at home. Glenda had always
locked her inside that empty, dark basement, with the excuse that Ariana had made a mistake. Nothing
else but the endless darkness and the deathly silence accompanied her.
