“But before this…”
…
Zephyr called Cordelia non-stop once he got out of the plane, but no one answered. The premonition ate at him like hundreds of thousands of worms.
He rushed home but saw the men Robert had sent downstairs. They were dumbstruck when they saw him.
“Mr. Zephyr, a-aren’t you… in the cafe?”
“What?” Zephyr’s heart lurched. “What cafe?”
“Two of our guys there said that they saw you enter the cafe with your own eyes! Robert told us before not to disturb you and Ms. Jenner, so they left after seeing you go in!”
“Damn it!”
Zephyr understood it instantly.
The one who had entered the cafe was Marcus Grist, and right now… Cordelia was facing him alone!
“Drive me there right now!”
The bodyguards exchanged a look and got into the car to drive to the cafe the fastest they could.
…
Cordelia’s face was swollen from Marcus’ numerous slaps. Her consciousness was slowly leaving her as well. She clung to the last iota of energy to struggle, but Marcus had the dagger against her neck and cut through her skin. Blood was slowly seeping while his other hand tore her clothes abruptly!
“Wait!” Cordelia cried with all her might. “Marcus…. I-I don’t want it here…”
“What did you say?”
Cordelia forced back her tears and calmed down the best she could. “I mean, the floor’s too cold…”
“Hah, that’s a lot to ask!”
