Emily had just jumped out of one fire-hole, and now she had fallen into another. Her eyes are fixed on the man in front of her, wearing sunglasses, who turns out to be her fiance.
By Jove, he's going to give her to Nancy, the bad woman, knowing who she is.
Now Emily had but one thought in her mind, and that was to escape.
Out of the corner of her eye she was looking in the direction of the door, and already she was planning in her mind. This time she must escape against all odds. She would find a place to hide so they could not find her, and then she would try to sneak into the hotel's underground parking lot, where she would casually slip into the trunk of a car and follow it out of the hotel.
Perhaps she would go to some strange place, but it would be better than this. Yes, that was what she was thinking.
She would not let the schemes of her father and stepmother succeed, and she would never be a prey to politics.
Emily took advantage of Klaus's lack of attention, and at once rushed as fast as she could to the spot where the door stood, touched the cold metal knob with her hand, and then, twisting it, pushed it open.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
Klaus's hand was firmly on her waist from behind, but she was still a step slower. He was able to lift her whole body with one hand, and then he locked the door with the other.
She struggled, her hands waving wildly, and the next second she heard him growl as her hands nearly knocked the sunglasses off his face.
Klaus picked Emily up and slammed her down on the couch, his hands pressed against the edge, his broad body blocking Emily's path.
"Listen, I'm not a gentle person, and my patience is limited." Klaus's voice was low and full of anger, "If you try to run away again, I can't guarantee that I'll do anything out of the ordinary to you, and you don't want to do that, do you?" "
Emily was startled by the alpha aura that emanated from him, and she could feel that he was genuinely angry.
"Do you understand what I just said?" Klaus asked.
Seeing Emily nod timidly, Klaus released her hand. He turned to face Marx, "Tell me what you've found." "
"I looked up Nancy's name on the hotel's check-in list, and this Nancy is Alpha Robert's butler, and this time she is in charge of the bride's marriage to the north." Marx told Klaus the results of his investigation, "I called up the hotel's surveillance and found that it was two Southern Alpha Warriors who pushed the wheelchair bride into Nancy's room."
"Wait, you just said wheelchairs?" Klaus questioned, "Is the bride in a wheelchair?" "
"Yes." "When I went to the airport with the royal representatives to pick up the bride, Nancy said the bride was sick and she couldn't walk, so she needed a wheelchair."
"You didn't notice anything was wrong." Klaus asked.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Go on."
"The hotel security guard told me that they heard the sound of windows breaking, and when they went up to investigate, Nancy only told them that there was only a minor accident. Evidently she did not want anyone to know that the bride was missing. Marx frowned, "The whole thing is very strange. The bride's original name was Gina Fox, but it has now been changed to Emily Fox. Nancy said that it was because Miss Gina was engaged, so her sister came to the north to marry."
"The bride has been replaced." Klaus figured out what was going on, and he looked at Emily, "So, you didn't marry voluntarily but were forced, right?" "
Emily nodded desperately, took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper: They kidnapped me and poisoned me so that I could not speak.
"Who are they?" There was anger in Klaus's voice.
My father and my stepmother. Emily wrote.
"It seems that they have really put a lot of effort into marrying the north." Klaus sneered, "Now that I know what happened, it's time to think about how to solve this problem." "
"Marx, you go out first, and let me talk to Miss Emily privately."
When Marx had gone, and Emily and Klaus were alone in the room, Emily's body unconsciously shrank back, wondering what the man would do to her next.
"So, Miss Emily." Klaus sat in the chair across from Emily, "Tell me the truth, did you run away because you didn't want to marry me?" "
Emily nodded truthfully, and then she peeped cautiously at Klaus, whose face was hidden behind his sunglasses and was expressionless.
Would he be angry with her for running away from the marriage?
"How about we make a deal?"
Emily writes on a piece of paper: What's the deal?
"Marry me."
Emily shook her head in disagreement, and Klaus continued, "You should know that our marriage represents an alliance between the North and the South, and while I don't know why your father asked you to marry in place of your sister, it doesn't matter to me who the bride is. It is important that this marriage goes smoothly."
Emily's hand on the pen trembled a little, and she knew that he would not let her go easily.
"If you promise to marry me, I promise you won't let anyone hurt you, and you'll get all the treatment that Luna has." Klaus offered his terms, "This marriage only needs to last one year, and after a year I will file for divorce from you, and you will be free."
That's not a bad sound. Emily thought to herself, but how could she be sure that he was telling the truth?
How can I trust you? Emily wrote.
"I'm a man who keeps his promises." "And who else can you trust?" Klaus said. If you do not agree to my terms, I can always give you the woman called Nancy. Do you want me to do that?"
Why should he marry me? Emily pondered.
"You have ten seconds to think about it." Klaus held out his fingers and began to count down.
"5,4,3..."
Emily nodded in agreement before Klaus could count to zero.
"Good." Klaus is satisfied, "It seems that you have made the wisest choice."
"Let's talk about the details."
Emily was surprised. She did not expect to get details.
