The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 752

The moment Caspian had dragged me into this eerie, secluded villa, I knew something was horribly wrong and discreetly unlocked my phone.

While buying time by talking to Caspian, I relied on pure muscle memory to open my messages and navigate to my chat with Ferris.

Typing out a message without looking was impossible, so I simply held down the record button.

I knew that if Ferris heard even a fraction of that first recording, he would immediately realize I was in danger and needed a rescue. I trusted him to take action without a second thought.

But tracking my location would require technical support, and getting here would take time.

That was why I had desperately tried to stall, keeping Caspian engaged in a pointless conversation for as long as possible.

But it seemed I hadn't stalled long enough. I never expected the stout man to catch on to my hidden movements so quickly.

"Ah! You bitch!" Dominic snatched the phone from my hand, glanced at the screen, and let out a furious roar.

He hurled the phone violently to the floor, shattering it into pieces. Then, he delivered a savage punch to my face, screaming, "You little slut! You're slippery, aren't you?! Sending secret messages?!"

My vision went black, and my body uncontrollably slumped backward.

First came the punch, and then a vicious kick. The stout man was incredibly strong, raining heavy, agonizing kicks down on my body.

I didn't try to fight back. I just collapsed onto the floor, curling myself into the tightest ball possible, offering my back to his blows while desperately shielding my soft abdomen.

I was carrying a baby in my womb.

It was my baby with Ferris.

I had to protect our child at all costs.
