Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
Chapter 489

Ariah, who had woken up, looked around the room. Upon making sure that she was the only one in the room, she immediately got out of bed and opened the door.

Unfortunately, the door was locked from outside, so she couldn't open it.

She returned to her bed in defeat and sat down, pondering about the identity of the man who had brought her here.

The man said that he was a cab driver, which obviously was just a cover-up. He had probably been following her for quite some time until she was finally alone and thus he was finally able to abduct her. Why did he kidnap her though? For money?

Or... something else?

If it was for the ransom, she might still be able to escape safely. But if it was for another reason, she might not be as lucky as last time...

Just as her mind was carried away, the lights in the room were suddenly turned off.

Ariah's body stiffened. Being surrounded in darkness, she was flooded with fear.

Because she didn't know what kind of danger was awaiting her, thus her fear was magnified thousands of times. If she was weak inside, she could have passed out on the spot.

Fortunately, Ariah was mentally prepared for this, so even though she was frightened now, she could still stay sane.

The lights had blacked out for seemingly a long time. Just as she was suffering mentally, the electricity came back on again.

Relieved, Ariah looked around the room, but she quickly stiffened at the scene opposite the bed.

Was that...

Anna?

The huge oil painting, which was originally hung on the wall, was raised now, showing the glass wall. Behind the wall was a room and Anna was there.

What was even surprising, Anna's room was completely different from hers. Her room was comfortable like a five-star hotel, but Anna's room was like a cell.

It looked dark and damp. Anna was curling up in the corner and there was fear in her eyes as she cried.

The condition of their rooms was so different that it was like heaven and hell.

Coming back to her senses, Ariah quickly went up to the glass wall and knocked, shouting, "Anna!"

Although she loathed Anna very much, she didn't want to see her suffering.

"Anna, can you hear me?"

Ariah called out Anna's name loudly, but Anna just remained still, as if she couldn't hear her at all.

Just when Ariah didn't know what to do, a deep voice suddenly rang out in her room. "Don't waste your time calling her. She can't see you, nor can she hear you..." Startled, Ariah turned her head but saw no one.

"Wh-who are you?"

Her teeth were chattering.

The man chuckled upon hearing her question. "It doesn't matter who I am. Anyway, don't you want to know why you're here?"

Ariah darted a glance around the room and soon realized that there was a flashing red light on the ceiling.

It was a CCTV!

It turned out that she was under watch and the man's voice was transmitted through the radio.

Knowing that, Ariah gradually calmed down.

"Well, why did you take me here? Is it for money? If you want money, you can contact my family. They will give you any amount that you ask for." Ariah was just talking nonsense. If Felix knew that she was kidnapped, he would definitely hide this from her mother.

And, he wouldn't care about her safety.

"Money? You think I brought you here because of money?"

"Don't act so nobly. You're just a kidnapper who has abducted me because you know that my family is rich and powerful!"

"A kidnapper? Don't compare me to such a disgusting being." The man raised his voice, seemingly a little annoyed.

Ariah frowned. It seemed like he was despising kidnappers?

Typically, when one looked down on another, it was either because they were overly confident or that the other party was of lowly status. Obviously, the man belonged to the latter group. Since he was despising kidnappers, he must be an even more dangerous figure.

Kidnappers would only look for money, but psychopathic killers were not!

Thinking about that, Ariah felt that she was in an even more risky situation.

Although she now knew that the man was not a kidnapper, she still hadn't get his identity out of him...

Rolling her eyes, Ariah suddenly laughed and said, "I know who you are!"

The man obviously didn't expect that. After a long pause, he asked with interest, "Oh? You know who I am?"

"You're a paid actor hired by Anna to put on a show merely to scare me, aren't you?"

Ariah then stood up and gazed coldly at the CCTV. "Well, how much did she pay you? Is it ten grand, or twenty grand? Tsk, what a poor choice. You're such a lousy actor and act nothing like a villain. Man, if I were you, I'd be ashamed to continue acting..."

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, the man raised his voice and cut her off in anger. "I'm not some paid actor! You'd better stop pissing me off. Otherwise, I'll give your dead body to Jimmy in advance as a gift!"

Hearing this, Ariah was surprised and blurted out, "You... You're not coming at me and Anna, but... Jimmy?"

She had never expected that the man could be Jimmy's enemy.

At first, she thought that Anna had offended someone and she just happened to get kidnapped because the man thought they were together.

But now, it seemed like her previous speculation was wrong...

Meanwhile, the man realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and snapped angrily, "You b*tch, are you trying to lure me in?"
