The Woman From Hell

"It’s useless. If he’s bent on looking for someone, then there’s no one in this world he can’t find." I knew Tyler all too well. The only reason we had been safe all these years was that Tyler had promised not to come look for us.

Although he promised that, we had met by chance. It meant that we were still fated in life and he would not let us off the hook anymore.

Initially, I thought that we would not meet again if he did not come and look for us. However, the surprise had caught us unprepared.

"What should we do? What can we do?" Cecilia clutched her head, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

I embraced her tightly, and my heart was in turmoil. I did not know what to do next.

We did everything we could back then to run away from him. I was sure he would not let us go after this encounter.

"Why must he do this? It's been six years and I was so close to forgetting everything about it. Why is he still appearing in our lives..." Cecilia finally broke down and cried her heart out.

This was the first time in six years that she cried. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

I hugged her and shed silent tears. I always thought that we would not see him again. This surprise encounter had made both Cecilia and me flustered. W e were caught completely unprepared.

"Wandy, go and find Theo for help. You’re carrying his child. He won’t let Tyler take you away." After Cecilia was done crying, she grabbed my hand and said anxiously.

"Calm down, Cecilia. It's late now. It'll be even more dangerous to go out at this hour. Let's talk about this tomorrow and get some rest first. I'll go find him tomorrow." Cecilia reminded me that I was now Mrs. Grant, no longer the loner Wanda I once was.

Perhaps Theo might be able to help us for the sake of his child.

It took me a long time to coax Cecilia to bed, but even s o, neither of us slept well that night.

Due to fear, Cecilia kept having nightmares the whole night; as for me, I had insomnia again just as expected.

When it was dawn, Cecilia finally fell into a deep sleep.

I silently got up from the bed and hailed a cab back to the villa, preparing to beg Theo for help. I must not let Cecilia and myself go back to living that kind of life no matter what.

However, I was locked out of the villa when I arrived.

The villa's main door was locked and I could not unlock it no matter what. Someone must have changed the lock. I called Theo's number but my number was still blocked.

This made the fear in my heart rise tremendously. Not knowing what was going on, I stood dazedly in front o f the door for a very long time before going to the company.

As soon as I stepped into the company, I felt countless eyes staring at me. When I approached, everyone looked away and pretended to be busy. When I walked farther away, I could hear whispers behind my back.

This strange and unusual atmosphere made me even more helpless and anxious than I already was. I trotted all the way back to my office and closed the door before breathing a sigh of relief.

What was wrong with everybody? Was Tyler here already? I was afraid the more I thought about it. I checked every corner of the office carefully.

When Heidi came in, I was on the ground checking the floor.

"What are you looking for, Ms. Wanda? Do you need m y help?" Heidi said immediately after seeing what I was doing.

"It's nothing." I got up. My knees were a little sore from kneeling and the pain did not ease up even after I massaged them for a long time.

Heidi helped me to the couch. "Did something happen?" Not only was everybody acting weird today, but even Heidi's gaze was a little odd.

"You don’t know yet?" She looked at me in astonishment, incredulity in her eyes.

I shook my head blankly.

"You and Xander made it to the first spot on the list of trending hashtags last night. The news is still really popular right now. Although the PR team handled it immediately, Xander is too popular so it's hard to suppress the news..." Heidi did not continue and lowered her head with her lips pressed together.

My heart dropped with a thud as I quickly fished out m y phone, only to realize that my phone was off because I forgot to charge it last night.

From the moment I met Tyler, I had been in constant fear and had no time to watch the news.

"Show me your phone," I reached out and said to Heidi.

She handed her phone to me and I tapped into Twitter to take a look. Sure enough, 'Xander Met Up With A Mysterious Rich Madam At Night' had made it to the first spot on the list of trending hashtags.
