Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 453

"What? You couldn't make any phone calls? That's strange. Try it again," Ricco tried to fake his sympathy over the phone.

F*ck you!

Ariah finally gave in. She was really going to spend the night here tonight, as there was no way she could escape.

"Don't think too much. Just go to sleep peacefully. I've locked the door and you can't open it. Go to bed early and I'll call you tomorrow morning."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Ariah threw the earpiece in anger and paced around the small room. Gritting her teeth, she pushed open the windows and saw that it was a seven-story building. If she was not careful, she would definitely be smashed to pieces if she fell down... Ariah swallowed and retracted her thoughts, after which she closed the windows in frustration.

For the sake of her life, she should never try to escape through the windows.

Lying back on the bed, she stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open without moving at all. She had a slight obsession with cleanliness, which was why she felt quite uncomfortable when she thought about the poor disinfection work in this small hotel.

Had the bedsheets been changed? Did the last man who slept on the sheet have any skin disease? Did any man sleep with his woman here?

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, so she decided to just sit on a chair.

It was definitely not comfortable to sit, but at least it would make her feel better...

Looking at the night view outside the window, she sighed and thought, 'Jimmy, if you can take me away from here tonight, then I won't divorce you!'

When she thought about this in her heart, she smiled bitterly. How could she be so useless and pin all her hope on that man? Wasn't this just a small matter?

Many things flashed across her mind, and her tense nerves also slowly relaxed, which made her feel drowsy.

Before she fell asleep, she didn't notice that the door had been slightly pushed open...

Just then, Ricco was woken up by a loud bang. His experience told him that the door had been forcibly kicked open by someone. Despite his sleepiness, his body had already taken an instinctive action.

He reached for the gun, which he had put under the pillow before he went to sleep.

But it was still too late. As soon as he reached out his hand, his body was pressed by another person. However, Ricco was not easy to deal with. After he managed to grab the gun, he jumped off the bed and shouted, "Don't move!"

Following a scornful sneer, the person kicked off his gun and kicked him in his abdomen. Because of the intense pain, Ricco could only stagger forward. Before he could stand firm, two forces had surrounded him from the side and pressed him down on the ground.

Just then, the lights were turned on, and he saw the faces of his opponents, one of which was Jimmy with a cold look.

Ricco raised his eyebrows in surprise, for he didn't expect Jimmy to be here.

Lifting his chin, Jimmy said, "Let him sit."

Ben thus put Ricco onto the chair on the side.

Without hesitation, Jimmy walked up to him and asked directly, "Where's Ariah?"

"Why did you come to me when your wife has gone missing? Aren't you Officer Hudson? I am just a good citizen." Ricco covered his stomach which had been injured by Jimmy's kick.

In response, Jimmy's gaze suddenly turned glacial. "Ricco, I don't have much time left. I'll ask you again for the last time. Where is Ariah?!"

When he came to Ariah's room, Ricco's expression froze, for the door had been opened. However, before he left, he had locked the door from the outside.

"You opened this door, didn't you?" Ricco turned back and asked Jimmy, who was following him.

"Of course not. The door has already been opened when we reached here," David answered.

"Oh no!" It was only then that Ricco's expression changed. He entered the room and looked around, but did not see Ariah.

She had disappeared right in front of his eyes?

As Ricco's expression became dark, he turned around and came out of the bathroom. As soon as he went out, a fist came to him. Ricco turned his head and grabbed it backhand to block Jimmy's angry attack.

The two men were fighting in the small bathroom.

David and Ben frowned and wondered who Ricco was. The data showed that he was an unemployed vagrant, but this boxing skills were very good. There was no way a vagrant could be this powerful!

"That's enough!" Ricco growled. "If you want to vent your anger on me, you can do it later. Now, all of us have to calm down!"

Upon hearing that, Jimmy stared at him coldly, "Ricco, listen carefully. If anything happens to Ariah, you'll have to pay with your life!"

Nevertheless, Ricco just shook his hand off, as if he didn't care about the threat at all. Calmly, he tidied up his hair and said, "If you want to know who took Ariah away, then let me go out and put on my clothes."

They had barged into his room and shocked him out of his sleep, which meant he had been fighting against Jimmy without a shirt on his body.
