Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 190

"You don't know? That same Ms. Yeats drugged the CEO of the Shelby Group, Jabez Shelby, seven years ago.

Mr. Shelby is absolutely ruthless. Did you really think he'd just let her get away with that? This is classic payback—giving her exactly what she gave him."

"No wonder Mr. Shelby specifically ordered us to guard the door."

In an instant.

All ambient noise faded away. Yvette's mind went completely blank, her feet glued to the floor.

The only thing echoing in her mind was the conversation between the two waiters.

A crushing, absolute despair surged from the very depths of her soul, extinguishing her instinct to survive.

A sharp cramp rippled through her abdomen.

The pain snapped her back to reality.

She had a child. She couldn't just stand here and give up!

She had to get out!

Her fingers gripped the handle, ready to yank it open again, but the man behind her had somewhat recovered. His massive belly pressed against her lower back.

A meaty, five-fingered hand slammed flat against the door.

*Slam.*

The thin sliver of light from the hallway vanished completely.

Her scalp tightened as he yanked her head back, exposing her throat. The man's hot, putrid breath washed over the nape of her neck.

Tears spilled uncontrollably from Yvette's eyes. She bit down on her lower lip so hard it began to bleed.

Her body felt like a furnace, and her breathing was growing increasingly erratic. The only way she could hold onto her sanity was through the physical pain.

"The more you run, the more excited I get. If you don't want me to hurt you, you better behave. Once I've had enough, you can leave."

Derek released her, and her drug-weakened body gave out, collapsing onto the floor.

"The drugs are really kicking in now. Before this is over, you'll be begging for it like a dog."

With that, his hands fumbled with the buttons of his shirt. He unbuttoned it, tore it off, and threw it aside.

*Click.*

The sound of a belt unbuckling.
