My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391 Framed

Natalia's head hurt.

It felt like someone had split her skull open with an axe.

She was incredibly tired, too, with a faint, sharp pain coming from the base of her spine.

She grunted painfully under her covers and instinctively laid her hand on the person next to her, eyes closed as she murmured, "Archie..."

After a while, there was no reply.

Finally sensing that something was wrong, Natalia slowly opened her eyes.

The room was dimly lit, with simple architecture and décor of black and white stripes instead of the interior she knew.

Where was this?

Her memories from before she'd lost consciousness slowly returned. As she muddied through them, her gaze fell on a menu logo at the end of the bed, and she trembled, waking up completely in an instant.

This was the Musi Hotel!

Natalia jolted with shock and stood up. But the moment she moved, she found that there was one other person on the bed than her.

Felix Bissel!

Her face shifted!

Felix was waking up slowly too. He frowned, looked at the woman sitting in front of him, blinked, then smiled slowly.

"Even if you wanted to sleep with me, little Seven, you didn't have to go so far. Drugging my drink to get me here? My, my. Such a direct method. I like it, though."

"Shut it!"

Natalia was going insane.

She clutched her head and thought back, then looked sharply to the side. Her bag and phone were still there.

She hurriedly picked up her phone and checked the message that Victoria had sent her.

The message was still there, and the number was definitely hers.

Her face was faintly pale and her fingers trembled over the number before she finally dialed it.

After a while, someone picked up.

"Natalia."

Victoria's voice came from the other end, sounding crisp and pleasing.

Natalia's throat felt a bit dry. She went quiet for a few seconds before she stammered, "Are you okay?"

"Me? Of course I'm okay, why?"

Victoria had a smile in her voice, without a trace of her helpless desperation over the phone earlier.

Hearing Natalia remain silent on the other end, she asked a little curiously, "Did something happen, Natalia? What's wrong?"

Natalia forced a chuckle.

"Nothing's wrong."

"If nothing's wrong, why are you asking me if I'm okay?"

"I..." She pursed her lips, swallowed, and said lightly, "I just had a bad dream. If you're fine, that's great. I've got something else to work on, so I'm hanging up."

Hearing that, Victoria laughed cheerily and said a few words comforting her before she hung up.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Natalia could feel her racing heartbeat as an abyssal panic began to envelop her.

She grasped her phone. A few missed calls were on there, all from Archie.

Up until now, she didn't know what was going on.

But she could predict the end goal.

Someone had set a trap for her and lured her in, trying to ruin her completely!

Victoria's call was fake.

It wasn't anything too smart, either. From Victoria's number to that rather garbled audio, it was possible to synthesize them with software.
