Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1109

"You misunderstood me. I honestly didn't know there was an issue with the whip. I just picked it up at random. If you aren't satisfied, I'll buy a much more expensive one next time, alright?"

Despite the throbbing pain tearing through him, Lucas didn't dare drop his guard. He was terrified of losing this massive opportunity with Bella.

He quickly scrambled up to soothe her.

Bella let out a dark laugh and didn't bother arguing. She turned around, grabbed her designer bag, and headed for the door.

"We'll talk next time."

With that, she walked out without tossing him a single dime or a parting glance.

Ignoring his screaming muscles and skipping the shower, Lucas frantically threw his clothes on and rushed downstairs, chasing the fading sound of Bella's footsteps.

He slid into a car that was already idling in the alleyway. The man in the driver's seat tossed him a cap. "Put this on. Don't get spotted."

Lucas jammed the cap onto his head, wincing as his bruised backside hit the leather seat.

Meanwhile, Bella remained completely oblivious to the vehicle trailing her.

As she drove, she spritzed herself heavily with perfume to mask the lingering scent of the hotel room.

Her car headed straight toward the Mercer family's Halfridge Villas.

Back in the trailing car, the driver cursed. "She's not staying at the hotel anymore? Didn't you say she basically lived there?"

"I have no idea," Lucas muttered. "It took everything I had just to get her to meet me today, and she beat the hell out of me for it. That woman is an absolute psycho..."
