Inside the room, James had given the command for Dexter to be beaten up. To put it kindly, he just didn't want Dexter to get out and hurt anybody. To put it more directly, he just wanted to let out his anger on Dexter.
However, it was obvious that he was holding back and didn't dare to actually kill Dexter. After all, the baby in my belly might not be birthed successfully.
I knew that James was just waiting for me to give birth to my baby. Once that happened, he would kill Dexter and completely wipe out the so-called black sheep of the Black family.
"What are you doing here?" James asked in a low voice. "Things are getting violent. You should rest up since you're still pregnant."
He instructed a helper, "Take her downstairs."
Dexter held his head in his hands, but his gaze was full of hatred and murderous intent.
I knew he would never give in. He wouldn't give in even if they beat him to death.
