Alice trembled all over and struggled to turn around in the bathtub.
As soon as she stepped out of the tub, her neck was grabbed from behind.
"No! Don't..." Alice cried out in fear.
Her body was pressed against the sink and forced to face her terrified reflection in the mirror.
Adam's demonic voice whispered in her ear, "Look at yourself. Don't pretend to resist anymore."
"It's not like that... Adam, let me go, that's enough..." Alice closed her eyes in shame, unable to bear the sight of her tortured body in the mirror.
"You know it's far from enough," Adam's low and cold voice pierced through her fragile eardrums, making Alice's body tremble.
The events of two years ago were still fresh in her memory, and she knew exactly what Adam meant...
Tears fell down her face and onto the ground.
Alice was thrown onto the bed, weak and helpless.Her fingers moved slowly and shakily as she tried to climb up the bed, but before she could reach her goal, the darkness crept closer, enveloping her fragile body in a sticky embrace.
The devil's hand reached out and grabbed her neck, forcing her to sit up.
Alice's back was pressed against the solid chest of the man, and she could feel the defined muscles of his chest and abdomen, full of strength and heat, which only intensified her fear.
"Ugh..." Alice struggled.
She didn't know what it was, but it was definitely not something good!
However, Adam's hand around her neck did not loosen at all. He moved it up to her chin, forcing her to look up with her face deeply tilted back.
At the same time, his long and powerful fingers pushed the pill towards her throat.
"Ugh!"
Alice struggled even more fiercely, kicking her legs wildly.
"Swallow it!" Adam commanded.
Alice had no choice but to swallow it down her esophagus.Only then was she released.
Alice curled up to the side, coughing desperately, tears and saliva flowing together. "Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough..."
The door of the room was pushed open, and a woman in high heels entered silently.
She walked to the bedside, poured the water in the cup out, and poured it on Bella's sleeping face!
"Ah! What the hell!" Bella woke up in shock. Why was there water in the room? Did the roof leak? When she saw Yolanda by the bed, Bella screamed loudly, "Yolanda, I'm going to kill you!"
"Why are you so excited? I'm just waking you up in my own way." Yolanda asked, "Do you know what time it is now?"
"Just get out!" Bella pointed her sharp finger towards the door.
"Why do I have to go out? I'm going to marry into the Davis Family in the future. They only have one son, and you're just a stepmother. How dare you raise your voice at me?" Bella was almost furious with her.
If she really let this kind of woman in, would she still have a good life?"You're so naive. You believe whatever Adam says. If he can marry you, I'll write my name backwards!"
"As long as what I do can make him happy, it doesn't matter whether he wants to marry me or not!"
Isn't this "thing" targeting Bella?
How could Bella not understand?
"Why do you have to rack your brains to marry into a wealthy family? You're harming yourself and Alice. I really sympathize with her. She doesn't even know if she's alive or dead now!" Yolanda said she sympathized, but there was no sympathy on her face.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know? Alice wanted to run away last night, but she was caught by Mu Ge. She was beaten up when she went back. Maybe in a few days, you'll be waiting to collect her body!"
Bella was stunned. Alice wanted to run away? Last night? And she was caught? Why didn't she know anything about it? Alice didn't tell her anything!
She turned over and picked up her phone to call Alice, but no one answered.
Yolanda felt relieved as she watched Bella's worried expression.Bella hadn't even had lunch and hurriedly went to Wonjin Beauty Clinic.
The receptionist said that Alice had taken a leave of absence.
Bella went to Alice's place and found her phone there.
So, Alice was still at Yudian Garden?
Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table rang. Yolanda looked at it and saw that it was labeled "Mom."
Bella was shocked. Whose mom? Where did Alice's mom come from?
She answered the phone but didn't say anything.
"Alice? Where are you now? Can you talk?" The voice on the other end sounded familiar to Bella. If it weren't for the label, she wouldn't have remembered who it was. "Mia?"
Mia on the other end was startled by something and quickly hung up the phone.
"Hello? Mia, is that you? Hello..." Bella stared at the hung-up phone, her sharp fingers pinching the phone as if she wanted to crush it.
It was Mia! Didn't she run away? Why was she contacting Alice? When did they get in touch?
Mia stood there, her hand holding the phone trembling.
Three cute little kids looked at their grandmother and asked, "Grandma, who is that lady?" Isaac asked.
Mia regained her composure after seeing the innocent and clear eyes of the three children. "It was a friend of Mom's who answered the phone. Mom is busy," she explained.
"But Mom said she would take us on a plane," Lily said.
"Is Mom in trouble?" Kevin asked.
"No, no, why would she be in trouble..." Mia was interrupted by her phone ringing.
Seeing that the caller ID was "Alice," she quickly hung up.
She knew that Bella must have suspected something to call her.
Mia decided to turn off her phone completely, as if she was afraid of being haunted by a demon.
She was just grateful that she didn't mention the children earlier.
Alice had made it clear that no one could say anything!
