Stanley’s expression was ice–cold. “Paul’s car has free rein in Hovendale. Blocking the roads won’t work—we won’t make it in time.”
“What should we do, Mr. Hawk?”
Stanley pulled out his phone and dialed Paul’s father, Frank
The Hawks and Andrews had a long–standing relationship, and he was acquainted with the old man.
The call connected quickly, and Frank’s voice came through “Stanley? What a surprise–why are you calling me?” Stanley’s grip on his phone tightened, his voice sharp and commanding. “Your son kidnapped someone under my protection. Think carefully–does he have any private villas in the outskirts?”
In a private villa on the outskirts, Wendy slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the extravagant design of the room–lavish furnishings and expensive decor.
Where was she?
She bolted upright in bed.
“Wendy, you’re awake?” A man’s voice rang out.
Wendy turned sharply and saw Paul standing nearby. Her dark eyes instantly narrowed. “Paul? What are you doing?”
She had planned to return today as Dr. Ceylan, but instead, Paul had abducted her and brought her here. Paul smirked. “What do you think I’m doing? That day, you beat me up so badly–shouldn’t we settle that score?” He had never suffered such humiliation. There was no way he could just let it go!
Wendy’s fingers subtly moved to her waist, but her face changed when she realized something. She had changed outfits backstage, and she was now wearing a sleeveless white dress. She hadn’t brought her silver needles or medicinal powder.
Paul suddenly sat down on the bed beside her. “Wendy, I’ll give you two choices. You can either grovel and apologize to me, or…”
His gaze lingered on her delicate, doll–like face. With her makeup on, she looked even more breathtaking- stunning enough to make his heart race.
Wendy edged back warily. “Or what?”
Paul’s lips curved up. “Or you become my girlfriend. If you agree, then I’ll just chalk what happened that day up to playful flirting between lovers.”
He was trying this again–asking her to be his girlfriend.
Wendy didn’t hesitate. “That’s not happening.”
Paul’s expression darkened. “Wendy, don’t be so stubborn, Do you know how many women would kill for a chance to be with me?”
Wendy had no intention of wasting another second on him. Without another word, she jumped off the bed and bolted for the door.

Alas, she didn’t make it.
Paul grabbed her and shoved her back onto the bed. “Wendy, if I can’t have your heart, then I’ll take your body instead!”
He pinned her down, his hands roughly pulling at her dress.
“No! Let go of me!” Wendy struggled with all her strength, her nails digging into his neck and leaving a deep scratch.
She was a wild one indeed.
Paul, now even more fired up, slapped her across the face—hard.
Smack!
The force of the blow sent stars bursting in Wendy’s vision. A metallic taste filled her mouth, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
Paul quickly stripped off his shirt and unbuckled his belt. The sight of the girl beneath him—her fair skin glowing under the light, her delicate arms and slender legs–made his breathing grow heavy. Even with all the women he had been with, he knew this one was different.
He pushed her skirt up and forced her legs apart. “Wendy, I’m in love with you. Just be mine!”
Wendy let out a bloodcurdling scream. “Ahhh!”
