His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 409

"Ahhh!" Yvonne screamed. She felt pain radiating to the rest of her face and completely folded her body on the floor, fearful of being struck again.

The mysterious visitor was breathing heavily. Then, he said, "To be honest, I hate Autumn much more than I hate you." Not only was his face disfigured, Autumn had destroyed his life as well. He swore he would make Autumn pay.

"What do you want me to do for you?" Yvonne whimpered. She peered at him, feeling both pain and fear that this could be her end if she did not agree to his demands.

"I'm sure you are dying to get out of this place, " said he. He hunched down and looked at Yvonne with a sneer. "I could help you get out of here." Yvonne was listening. "But… you have to do everything I tell you."

She thought, 'What do I have to lose?' Yvonne was sick of the dark and dreary hole she was stuck in. If it meant leaving the place, she wouldn't mind doing this stranger's bidding. "Okay, I will do whatever you ask. Just take me away from this dreadful place, " she decided.

The stranger clapped his hands in glee at Yvonne's submission.

Not long after that visit, Yvonne was reported to have escaped prison. Autumn could not believe the news, thinking it was just a hoax. But the police called to warn her about the escaped felon and asked to report Yvonne's whereabouts urgently.

Still Autumn found it incredulous that Yvonne would be able to break out of prison. For certain, she had help because it was not something she could do alone.

Autumn opted to keep this development a secret, even from Charles. But he knew it somehow. He was worried about Yvonne and decided to check on Yvonne's visitors. He came upon an unfamiliar name: Ferry Fang.

Charles asked his wife, "Autumn, do you know anyone named Ferry Fang?" She looked at him blankly. Charles doubted she had any idea about who the man was. He also noted that lately, Autumn's memory was quite erratic, and getting worse.

"I don't recall anyone by that name, " she finally replied. Her efforts to remember the name were futile and this made her a bit impatient. Suddenly, she snapped at Charles, "Don't ask me anything more about it. I am already very confused!"

Charles was taken aback at Autumn's outburst. "What is wrong with you?" he asked worriedly. He already sensed something was not right with his wife, especially her sudden change in moods. He tried reaching out to her.

But Autumn brushed off his hand. "I'm fine, " she snapped. Autumn quickly stood up and announced, "I'm tired and will rest upstairs."

Charles stared at his wife's receding figure, anxious about her seeming abnormal behavior lately.

He didn't notice Nancy, who watched a slightly deranged Autumn head upstairs. Stealthily, she made a call and said, "I've done what you asked. I've been giving Autumn the drug and she's now showing signs of insanity. Will you let me see my son?"

"Ahhh, definitely. You have my word, " the person on the other line said. He continued to speak, "But you have to keep giving it to her until Autumn becomes totally unstable. And then I will allow you to see your son."

Nancy became agitated. "You should have honored our deal. I already gave you money so that I could see my son, " she whispered.

Nancy held on to the receiver tightly, fear gripping her. 'What if my son is harmed while being held in custody all this time, ' she thought.

The stranger on the phone said menacingly, "Nancy, there is no trade-off to speak of here." He laughed eerily. "You either follow my orders to fulfill the task or else…"

"All right! Just be sure my son will return safe and sound, " Nancy agreed. She knew there was no way out and she had to do his bidding. "What else do you want me to do?" Nancy asked.
