Typical of the self-centered girl that Holley was, she had only learned to take advantage of others. She would never even have bothered if someone was dying right in front of her eyes. However, much to her own surprise, she now found herself behaving so drastically opposite, and that for a man! So much so that she was even ready to give up her life for him!
Ferry marked the weakness of her mind by reading her facial expression.
Indeed, it seemed that Black held a special place in her life. This was evident from the bitter expression on her face. She was a woman of dignity and pride. She would never beg anyone for anything. But now, she went down to her knees and begged Ferry to pardon Black. Wasn't that enough to confirm Ferry's assumption?
After giving it a moment's thought, Ferry's eyes lit up as an idea came to his mind. Yes! This was the opportunity that he had been waiting for. The memories of pain, humiliation, and suffering that he had undergone were still alive in his heart like it just happened the day before. Now, it was time to make Holley have a taste of his suffering. 'Maybe it's time to destroy her!' he thought as an evil grin crept to his lips.
Ferry cleared his mind before he rested his fingers on Holley's cheeks. He ran them across her face and then pinched her chin at last. He asked with a snort, "How do you feel? Hurt?"
"Please, let him go!" Holley pleaded with an imploring look. She didn't resist his rude grip on her even though she felt uncomfortable; instead, she just furrowed her eyebrows as she looked into Ferry's eyes.
Ferry did not utter a single word. His eyes were full of arrogance. To gain more pleasure out of the situation, he tried to make Holley moan in distress. So he pinched her chin harder. Yet, she did not cry out. She just wrinkled her brows more.
"Good! It's not easy for you to beg. Today, since you swallowed your pride to beg in front of me, I should be less tough with you!" Ferry's mood livened up after enjoying the torture he had inflicted on Holley.
"Really?" Holley was surprised to hear this.
Ferry's attitude had changed so abruptly, that she could not help wondering at how this man's brain worked. 'Did he really mean what he had said? So easy?' Holley hadn't expected that Ferry would agree to her so soon.
"Want me to be tough? Well, I am regretting…" Ferry's face suddenly changed again, and a trace of irritation crossed his eyes.
"No, please! I beg you to let go of Black! Truly I do!" Holley apologized at once.
"Well, but I have one condition! You have to book a room near your house for us. If you can serve me well tonight, I will do as you asked!" Ferry smirked before he turned and left.
Holley stared back with a confused look until Ferry's figure disappeared from her sight. She started to regret having made a strange alliance with Ferry. He was so cunning and unreliable. She felt that she had now lost her self-restraint and been placed completely under his control. Still, she didn't dare to disobey such a despot. She quickly stood up and rushed out to do what Ferry had asked.
After booking a room, Holley immediately sent the information to Ferry without any further delay.
As the dark shadow of the night chased the dusk, the sun withdrew the last trace of its warmth from the air. Everything outside began to quiet down. In silence, Holley stayed alone in the hotel room, waiting for Ferry's arrival. In her head, she hoped that the night could be as short as possible.
In Ferry's villa
Ferry started to check his messages. Knowing that Holley had done exactly what he had told her, Ferry let out a malicious smirk. Then he waved his hand and gestured for a bodyguard to come over. He ordered, "Find a strong man, and then send him over to this place!"
Having finished speaking, Ferry handed his phone to the guy and let him read the address closely.
With a knowing nod, the man flashed back a wretched smile and then asked, "Boss, are you…"
"A man and a woman staying in the same room at night. What do you think will happen? You know what I am planning for!" Ferry smiled, took back his phone and then crept up the stairs.
The bodyguard quickly fished his phone out from his pocket and dialed a number. It didn't take him too long to get everything arranged. Then he walked away to carry on with his duty.
Entering his room, Ferry felt elated. Holley had fallen into his trap, and there was only one step to conclude for him to carry out his plan. Wasting no time, he sent a message to Black, which revealed Holley's location.
Black was alone in his house, lazing around and drinking leisurely in the dining hall.
He had always had faith in his relationship with Holley. Even though Holley had become a little indifferent and tried to avoid him since she had agreed to his marriage proposal, Black had never questioned her loyalty towards him.
Black loved Holley so much that everything about her seemed to be just fine. He felt Holley had deliberately avoided meeting him on several occasions. Yet he kept telling himself to believe in her. He kept convincing himself that she must have some reason behind her apparent aloofness. Sometimes he got tired and angry with her lies, but he never lost his temper with her. Every time Holley's behavior pushed his tolerance to its limits, he just put up with it through the night.
