When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 1190

“Hey!” I only noticed someone else in the room when I heard another man’s voice. I turned around and noticed Armond on the couch. He had his back facing me.

I yelled hysterically, “Where’s Jackson? What did you do to Emma? They have nothing to do with this!”

“Don’t you think you should mind your own business?” Armond rebutted with an arrogant look. He approached me and narrowed his eyes, remarking sarcastically, “I’m suffering behind bars, yet you’re having the best time of your life with Ashton. You’re giving birth to twins soon, aren’t you?”

My heart skipped a beat when I heard his question. “What the hell do you want?”

The man took a deep breath and tucked his hands into his pockets. Holding his chest high, he announced, “Haven’t I said you belong to me? Do you really think I’ll allow you to give birth to Ashton’s children?”

I held my belly with my hands in an attempt to protect my innocent children, yet I was overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.

I knew Armond meant every single word he had enunciated—he would never consider my innocent children. Since John was aware we had been abducted, it was only a matter of time before he could reach us. Thus, I needed stall for time until his arrival.

I gulped and forced myself to stay calm. When I tried my best to recall the things I had gone through over the past few days, I thought of something.

Looking at him dead in the eyes, I sneered and queried, “Since we’re both Ashton’s foes, why won’t you stop picking on me?”

I’m sure Armond has heard of Ashton’s plan to get his revenge. However, he must be clueless about the sort of feelings Ashton has for me. If I can convince him that Ashton holds a grudge against me, I may get to keep my children safe.

That was the only viable countermeasure at my disposal at that point in time.
