When There Is Nothing Left But Love
Chapter 41

Chapter 41

“So what if you’re married to her? You don’t love her. Didn’t you say you love me, Ash? My body is allrecovered now. Let’s have another child, okay?”

“Rebecca…” What came next were the sounds of a man and woman getting intimate with each other. Isqueezed my eyes shut and struggled to tune out those sounds.

The harder I tried not to listen, the more I was tormented by those noises.

As Rebecca’s moans became louder, my body trembled violently. I even felt nausea rise in me andstarted to dry heave.

I had always known that there was something going on between Rebecca and Ashton, so I wasn’tsurprised that they had slept together. However, I never expected to have to listen to them right in theact, nor did I want to know anything about how passionate they were in bed.

It lasted for a long time. By then, I had already thrown up everything in my stomach and my whole bodyfelt drained of energy. I sat limply on the bed, and my heart started to crack, shattering into a millionpieces that were impossible to pick back up.

“Ms. Stovall, how was the show? Entertaining enough?” The door was opened, and the plump manwalked in. I could clearly hear the smile in his voice, making me feel disgusted.

Even though I couldn’t see his face, I looked straight into his eyes and spat, “Is Rebecca behind this?”

Apart from her, I couldn’t think of anyone else who would do something so disgusting.

“Does it matter?” He snickered. “I’m sure you must be in a special mood after listening to such a goodshow, Ms. Stovall!”

“What do you want?” They wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble to kidnap me just to spite me.There was no way things were that simple.

“Clever woman!” The plump man raised his voice and continued, “I heard that you’re in charge of FullerCorporation’s audit this year, Ms. Stovall. I wonder if you’d be interested in making a deal with me?”

I scoffed derisively. “What makes you think that I’d make a deal with you after you’ve used such dirtymeans to bring me here to spite me?”

He pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “The baby in your belly, Ms. Stovall.” I was stunned,instantly breaking out in cold sweat. How did he know?

He seemed to be satisfied with my reaction, smiling lightly as he said, “What do you think? It seems tome like you don’t want Mr. Fuller to know. I’m guessing you have your own plans. If that’s the case, wemight as well work together. What do you say?”

“What exactly do you want?” Whoever got to handle Fuller Corporation’s external audit would make alot of money. Hence, it was normal that someone would fight to get their hands on it, but this methodwas too despicable.

“An open tender for Fuller Corporation’s audit!” he answered.

I was taken aback and my brows knitted together. “That’s it?”

“That’s right. As long as you agree, you have my word that henceforth, you and the child in your bellywill be safe. I will make sure that nothing happens to you,” he said in a very convincing tone.

My frown deepened. “Why should I trust you?”

“Because you don’t have a choice, Ms. Stovall!” His reply grated on my nerves.

Despite my frustration, I had to get myself out of this situation first and figure out the rest later on, so Ilooked at him and nodded. “Fine!”

He grinned in return. “Then it’s a deal!”

After that, he motioned to the thin man to cover my eyes again. “Is this necessary?” I frowned.

His chuckle reached my ears. “Don’t worry, Ms. Stovall. We’ll send you back the same way we broughtyou here!”

Later on, I was pushed into a car. My hearing sharpened due to my lack of sight, but I fell asleep notlong after.

When I came to again, not only was I back in the underground car park, but I was also inside my owncar. Everything around me was the same, as though what happened earlier was nothing but a dream.

I fumbled for my phone to check the time and found that it was twelve midnight already. I could hardlybelieve that in the past two hours, I had experienced a life-and-death situation.

Fear still lingered in my heart, so I didn’t stay in the car park for long, hastily starting the car andheading back to the villa.

My emotions were all over the place.

Back at the villa, when I stepped in and saw the man looking through some documents in the livingroom, the earlier sounds of their lovemaking flooded my mind.

A retching sound escaped my lips. Before I could even change my shoes, I made a run for thebathroom and retched in the sink. I had already vomited quite a lot earlier, so there was nothing left forme to throw up now.

“What did you eat?” His low and icy voice reached my ears.

I was trembling all over and my stomach felt awful. He stepped forward and reached out to stroke myback, but the sounds they made overwhelmed my senses and I felt sick to the core. I snapped my headup and shoved him away.

Ignoring the dark look on his face, I immediately dashed up the stairs.

Once in the bedroom, I locked the door. Knowing what had transpired in here, my stomach turned. Iquickly opened all the windows and changed all the sheets on the bed.

Knock, knock! Two rapid knocks sounded on the door. “Open the door, Scarlett!” The man’s voice hada dangerous undertone.

As my mind was swamped by those revolting sounds they made, not to mention the discomfort in mystomach was unbearable, I automatically tuned out everything that was happening beyond the door.

Desperate to get rid of his scent in the room, I cleaned every inch of the space. When I was done, I feltdisgusted by my own body. After taking off my clothes, I went into the bathroom and turned on theshower to full blast, wanting so badly to wash off every part of me that he had touched.
