"Ah!" Noreen screamed.
The pain from her wounds suddenly washed over her like a tidal wave, ten times worse than before. Instead of showing her an ounce of respite, Matthew whipped her without mercy.
"Ah...no!"
Matthew was like an imp of the Devil, if not probably the Devil himself incarnate. "I am not interested in what he has done in his company."
Noreen tried to stay awake but it was too hard, her head spun and the dizziness overcame her. "Matthew Huo, I am the number one star... in the entertainment circle. Do you know what a big mistake you've made by kidnapping me? In less than 24 hours, news of my disappearance will spread all over the Internet, and then..."
Finally, the pain was just too overwhelming and Noreen lost consciousness as she couldn't take it anymore.
'How dare she threaten me at the face of death?' Matthew thought furiously. Every fiber of his being wanted to strangle that woman, even if the whole world found out that he was the one who killed her. Matthew could care less about what the world thought of him.
Thinking of his wife who was still in a coma, Matthew chucked the whip to his bodyguard beside him with a murderous look in his eyes. "Throw her down into the sea."
"Yes! Mr. Huo!"
Plop! At night, the waves were powerful in that violent way of storms and their roar echoed across the sea to the land.
A woman was thrown into sea with her hands tied by a rope. The other end of the rope was fastened to the guard rail of a speed boat. Noreen flipped chaotically across the water as she was dragged on a rope behind a running speedboat.
"Cough, cough, cough." If the pain had rendered Noreen unconscious, the torture she was experiencing now woke her up.
She spat out water, coughing and struggling to catch her breath, but the pain had drained her body of all strength.
Matthew stood on the deck and looked at the woman in the sea, his cold eyes displaying no emotions.
Just as she was about to go under, one of Matthew's bodyguards pulled the rope and brought her back to surface.
Thirty minutes later, when the speed boat had returned to the pier, the woman was almost lifeless, barely holding on to her life.
Just as Matthew was about to confront her again, his phone started ringing. It was Debbie. "Mom?"
"Rika has regained consciousness! Matthew, come to the hospital at once!" Debbie was almost screaming because she was so excited.
The murderous look in that man's eyes suddenly dissip
when Rika was pregnant with four babies, she left me for more than three years. What if she leaves me again if I get her pregnant again?"
In truth, Matthew didn't want Erica to suffer the pain of childbirth again.
Not even if he wanted a daughter.
Sheffield puffed smoke on his face, which angered Matthew at once. He was just about to teach the naughty man a lesson, but Sheffield yielded just in time. "Hey, we're in a hospital. Be a gentleman! To be honest, I don't think Rika is to blame for what happened between you two. You never confessed your feelings to her even though you loved her since such a long time ago. Then one day, Rika suddenly found out that not only did you have feelings for her, you were deeply in love with her. The fact that the goddess of your heart wasn't that bitch from the Su family, must have come as a shock to her. I can totally see why she would feel confused and unable to make the right decision."
Joshua nodded, "Now that she's back in your life, just have a good and happy life with her. Give birth to a niece for me as soon as possible."
In the days when Erica went missing, Matthew had been looking for her everywhere like a madman. To quell the sadness in his heart, he would force Joshua and Sheffield to drink with him, and sometimes, their night-outs would end up in a friendly fight. Since Matthew was trained in martial arts, he would easily beat up Joshua.
Matthew, however, wasn't feeling very chatty today. "Of course, I want to have a happy life with her."
Not only did he want to have a happy life with Erica, Matthew wanted her to have the best possible time of her life with him.
