Her kissing made Daniel crazier, and he pressed her beneath him and kissed her red lips.
'Daniel! I love you! I love you so much!'
'Janet! I love you, too. I love you very much!'
...
It was getting dark, and after they had sex, Daniel took the exhausted Janet in his arms and carried her to the bathroom.
After they came out of the bathroom, Daniel gently put the sleeping woman on the bed.
He put on his bathrobe, lighted cigarette and then sat on the sofa. He called Spark, "Send some medicine here!"
Spark was amazed when he heard what medicine Daniel really wanted.
'Our CEO is so strong...'
Daniel hung up then and walked back to the side of the bed. He looked at the sleeping woman, and thought about something.
He then took her phone, unlocked it with her finger, and found Caspar's number in the phone's contacts.
He went behind the curtains to the balcony, and as he looked outside at the view of Z Country, he called Caspar.
"Janet, where are you?"
"It's me!" replied Daniel in a cold and stern voice, interrupting Caspar's warm greetings.
The two were silent for a while.
"Tell me through what had Janet been through in the past three years?" Daniel was berserk, having the urge to kill... the man who had hurt Janet.
Caspar still said nothing.
Three minutes later, when Daniel put his cigarette out, he finally heard Caspar saying, "Everything was fine most of the time, but when her child was ten months old... she had went missing for half a year, but when she returned... she was like she had become someone else, a different person."
Caspar had investigated where Janet had been and what she had experienced for a long time, but had found nothing useful.
Janet had been unwilling to tell him this things. In the beginning, she had even broke down when he had asked her about what had happened to her.
"Besides, she... has taken drugs." When he heard this, Daniel frowned, confused.
How could have Janet possibly taken drugs?
"Someone has injected her with drugs!" Caspar had taken her to a drug rehabilitation center, and had seen her being tortured for a whole month.
When he spoke of this, Caspar touched the scarred teeth marks on his left arm, done by Janet.
Daniel was furious with Caspar, but he was the reason why Janet had left in the first place, and he couldn't blame Caspar for it.
Daniel's remorse struck a deep wound into his heart.
"What else?" He tried hard to control his overwhelming emotions.
'Daniel is a very powerful and skilled man. Maybe he could coax Janet to say something about what she has been through and who has hurt her.'
Thinking of this, Caspar told Daniel all that he knew. "When she came back, there were many stripes on her body..."
Caspar had spent a lot of time and money on finding an ointment to treat her scars.
"Damn it!" That was the last straw, and Daniel furiously swore.
He gripped the door's handle in anger and then hammered on the marble table with his fist.
He had nearly broken his bones.
Feeling his anger through the phone, Caspar sadly found that Daniel really loved Janet.
