Jordan stepped aside, making way for Cassie. "Cassie, you're hungry and tired. I am worried to let you go home by yourself. Will you let me drive you home?"
Jordan asked softly. He didn't want her to think that he was forcing her to do anything against her will.
But Cassie ignored him. Holding her head up, Cassie walked as fast as she could, hoping to get rid of the stalker behind her.
But Cassie could never outrun a car, however hard she tried.
Ten minutes later, Jordan was still driving behind Cassie. If Cassie sped up, so did Jordan. If she slowed down or stopped, he would do the same.
Cassie's mind kept shifting to what she had seen earlier. She was upset about Nick being with another woman. And now, Jordan was following her around and wouldn't leave. She was very annoyed and was about to take it all out on him.
She turned around and yelled at him, "What do you want from me? I don't like you. I hate you. Stay away from me!"
Jordan's face turned gloomy when he heard Cassie, but he maintained his composure.
"Cassie, I know that you are having a hard time. You can take it out on me. I don't mind." Jordan smiled at her.
Her wasn't understanding her and that made Cassie even madder.
She was just about to curse him when she suddenly felt very nauseous. The next second, she turned to the far side of the road and vomited.
Then she collapsed onto the ground.
"Cassie!" Jordan screamed as he hurried out of his car and rushed to Cassie. He pulled her into his arms.
"Cassie, what's wrong? Wake up!" Jordan looked in fear at his beloved woman.
Jordan was being too loud, so Cassie slowly opened her eyes.
"Hungry...I am hungry," she murmured drowsily. That was the only thing Cassie could manage to say as her stomach growled.
Jordan said anxiously, "All right! I will take you to a nice restaurant right away. Please don't fall asleep."
She was too weak to answer him. All she wanted now was to eat something.
About ten minutes later, Jordan brought Cassie to a five-star hotel. He got a room for her and lay her on the bed before he called room service and ordered some food for her.
Soon, a waiter came to the room. Jordan helped Cassie sit up and put a cushion behind her back. He then put the food on a bed table.
"Help yourself, Cassie," Jordan said gently.
Without any hesitation, Cassie grabbed the chopsticks and started eating.
A vicious smile appeared on Jordan's face as he watched Cassie eat the food which he had bought for her.
'Cassie, you're mine. No one can take you away from me!' Jordan thought to himself.
Only when she had finished her meal and put down her chopsticks did Cassie realize that she was in a hotel room. She threw a glance at Jordan, anxious and frightened.
'Have I lost my mind? Why did I come to a hotel room with Jordan? Why did I ever agree to this?'
Cassie shifted on the bed. She tried to get out of bed and put on her slippers. But Jordan stopped her.
"Don't worry, Cassie. I won't touch you. You can stay here tonight. It's late now and it's not safe for you to go home alone. Call me if you need anything. I'm staying in the next room," Jordan said with a warm smile.
