"But before this..."

...

Zephyr called Cordelia non-stop once he got out of the plane, but no one answered. The premonition ate at him like hundreds of thousands of worms.

He rushed home but saw the men Robert had sent downstairs. They were dumbstruck when they saw him.

"Mr. Zephyr, a-aren't you... in the cafe?"

"What?" Zephyr's heart lurched. "What cafe?"

"Two of our guys there said that they saw you enter the cafe with your own eyes! Robert told us before not to disturb you and Ms. Jenner, so they left after seeing you go in!"

"Damn it!"

Zephyr understood it instantly.

The one who had entered the cafe was Marcus Grist, and right now... Cordelia was facing him alone!

"Drive me there right now!"

The bodyguards exchanged a look and got into the car to drive to the cafe the fastest they could.

Cordelia's face was swollen from Marcus' numerous slaps. Her consciousness was slowly leaving her as well. She clung to the last iota of energy to struggle, but Marcus had the dagger against her neck and cut through her skin. Blood was slowly seeping while his other hand tore her clothes abruptly!

"Wait!" Cordelia cried with all her might. "Marcus.... I-I don't want it here..."

"What did you say?"

Cordelia forced back her tears and calmed down the best she could. "I mean, the floor's too cold..."

"Hah, that's a lot to ask!"

"Because I'm going to die..." Cordelia looked at him.

"Marcus, I'm already trapped here. Are you worried that I'll escape? You said that we're husband and wife, after all. Are you really not agreeing to your wife's first and last request to you?" Marcus looked around. "Where do you say we go then?"

"That storeroom is alright." Cordelia pointed. "There's a mattress in there, and it's soundproof. No one can hear us."

Marcus' hand holding the dagger moved, and the blade left Cordelia's neck.

"If you don't believe me, just tie me up and bring me in."

"Tie you up?"

"Yeah." Cordelia's heart thumped. "Don't you have a belt?"

Marcus looked down and suddenly smirked evilly. He did not expect the woman to like it this way when she looked docile and quiet. Blinded by desire, he put down the dagger to take off his belt. Cordelia was on the floor. While Marcus removed his belt, she suddenly sprang up and kicked the dagger far away. She could not fight him, but she would rather both of them not have it! Marcus was caught unaware. Before he could react, he saw Cordelia grabbing an ashtray from the counter and hurling it at him.

"Ah!" Marcus' flesh split from the blow, and blood flowed from his head.

"F*ck, you b*tch!

"Playing tricks with me, aren't you?"

Cordelia grabbed the glass shard from the floor to stab Marcus, but he was prepared this time. He caught her wrist and twisted it.

Cordelia's head tingled from the pain, and she fell with a thud.

Marcus picked up the dagger again. The gleaming blade hurt Cordelia's eyes.

"B*tch! I'll send you off to h*ll right now!"
