She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 1195

Chapter 1195 Torment

Fly away? Lucia found the term laughable, as it was meant for lovers. She and Jacob were not in love!

The two of them were not far apart, and Jacob could clearly see the mockery in Lucia's eyes. His lips, which were originally smiling, immediately stiffened. Lucia always had a way of instantly bringing down his emotions!

Standing up suddenly, Jacob threw the wine glass and walked towards Lucia. Just in front of her, he pinched her chin and forced her to look at him, and said viciously,

"It's been two days and you're still so stubborn? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're wait for him to save you, right? Can you wait?! Only Max knows the location of this small building, and he will never betray me! Even if you can't escape in the future, I will trap you here for the rest of your life, so that Arthur will never have peace!"

Lucia fearlessly stared into Jacob's eyes, the mockery and disdain within them never diminishing. She inwardly laughed at Jacob's ignorance, as he had no idea of Arthur's true strength. She never doubted that he would come to her rescue.

As if seeing Lucia's thoughts, Jacob was angry because she looked down on him? !

Good, very good!

Suddenly releasing his grip, Jacob stood up straight and said to the bodyguards,

"Take her back to the room."

The bodyguards did as they were told and released Lucia, but as soon as they did, they put another pair of handcuffs on her to prevent her from resisting, and then pulled her up the stairs, with Jacob walking behind them.

Arriving at the door, the bodyguards pushed Lucia inside and stood guard by the door, while Jacob strolled in leisurely and closed the door behind him with a flick of his hand.

Lucia gave Jacob a glare and remained silent. She knew that Jacob was trying to play mind games with her, but she also knew that she wouldn't lose.

Ever since the afternoon they arrived at the small building, Jacob locked himself and Lucia in the same room. Of course, Lucia was still restrained, and Jacob thought this would make her compromise. He kept speaking about their past ambiguous encounters, feigning affection, trying to get close to her, but Lucia was utterly indifferent.

Now, people can still see the marks of being bitten on Lucia's lips. The wound was quite significant, and her lower lip had obvious tearing. It wasn't Jacob who bit her; it was herself. Yesterday, for a moment, Jacob had the urge to force her, but Lucia resorted to self-harm to stop him. Blood gushed from her lips, and that determined look made Jacob freeze on the spot.

Though he didn't do anything more to Lucia, Jacob mentally tormented her. They shared the same room, and at night Lucia would sit on the couch while Jacob slept on the bed. He occasionally reminisced about how he used to treat her well, subtly provoking her memories. Last night, Lucia endured it almost gritting her teeth.

The next day, seeing the dark circles under Lucia's eyes, Jacob chuckled. Her stubbornness was inconsequential to him. After all, they had plenty of time to waste. And just now, Lucia provoked him again, so he brought her back to this room, lying lazily on the bed, smiling playfully at her standing in the center of the room.

"When you've come to your senses," Jacob said in a seductive tone, patting the spot beside him, "come over."

Lucia unconsciously clenched her fist, her beautiful eyes burning with unhidden anger.

Jacob laughed again, lazily stretched his body and said indifferently, "Since you're still stubborn, just watch me sleep." After speaking, he exaggeratedly closed his eyes as if he really wanted to take a break.

Lucia cursed in her heart. If her hands weren't bound behind her back, there was no way Jacob would come out of this unscathed once she got to him!
