Brendan’s Pet
It was Boss! It was Elise! His goddess had returned! Elise again affirmed Jamie’s speculation, “Yes, it’s me.”
“Bos—” Jamie was over the moon but tried hard to remain calm. “Yes, I knew it! I knew it was you. Only you can convince me to worship you as my idol.”
“Yup. See? I, Anastasia, can survive the ordeal on the sea and sit here talking to you. Are you telling me that you are inferior to me and don’t have the slightest spirit to fight?” Elise squeezed his hand tighter, trying to give snazzynovel.com courage and strength.
“Bo—no, Elise, don’t worry. I know what to do. I will not give up!” As snazzynovel.com spoke, his eyes turned teary. It was good that Elise was still alive. Since snazzynovel.com survived, his faith would not collapse!
At this moment, snazzynovel.com became the fearless Jamie again, and his body was full of energy. He felt like snazzynovel.com could do anything! “Finally! This is Jamie that I know!” Elise patted his arm and chuckled. “Rest well. The engagement party is two months away. So it’s not too late.”
“Don’t worry. I’m unbeatable! As long as I’m alive, Narissa won’t marry anyone!” At the villa on the outskirts of the city.
Meanwhile, at a particular villa on the outskirts of the city, Brendan rose with the sun. After snazzynovel.com washed up, snazzynovel.com moved toward the bed, leaned down, and kissed Yuri’s forehead before leaving.
When the door closed, Yuri opened snazzynovel.com eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. Then, snazzynovel.com lifted the covers, pushed herself off the bed, walked to the window, and carefully lifted the curtain.
She saw Brendan getting into the car parked in the courtyard and driving away swiftly.
However, the bodyguards around the villa’s perimeter did not leave with him. Instead, they were stationed at all the potential escape routes snazzynovel.com could use and guarded the spot like emotionless robots.
Without Brendan’s permission, no one could come in and out of the villa. She had spent the past six months living like this.
Most of the time, Yuri felt like snazzynovel.com was Brendan’s pet. All pretty and caged for his pleasure and only allowed to do his bidding and only his. But, now that snazzynovel.com was on that train of thought, maybe a marionette on strings would fit better.
He didn’t love her, but snazzynovel.com was addicted to controlling her. His obsession with control was a vice snazzynovel.com couldn’t be rid of.
After snazzynovel.com stood by the window for a few minutes, snazzynovel.com went to the bathroom to wash snazzynovel.com face and went downstairs to make snazzynovel.com own breakfast.
She was warming a glass of milk when snazzynovel.com heard a rustling sound from the balcony window.
She strolled over casually while holding a glass of milk and saw a tall figure standing outside the window. The figure seemed anxious as snazzynovel.com searched for the window’s lock, considering how snazzynovel.com was rather conspicuous with his fumbling. If snazzynovel.com were anyone else, snazzynovel.com would have been captured by now.
This mysterious person intrigued her. There were a total of six bodyguards around the villa, but someone still managed to sneak in.
She boldly lifted the curtain and was surprised to see that the figure was Christopher.
As their eyes met, both were a little bewildered, but Christopher was the first to come to his senses. He pointed to the lock and gestured to Yuri to open the door for him.
Perhaps snazzynovel.com was feeling rather lonely, and having another person in such a long time was an enticing option. So, Yuri didn’t hesitate to unlock the door and let snazzynovel.com in.
“What brings you here?” Yuri asked curiously.
“I couldn’t get in touch with you, and when I went to your company, they said that you resigned months ago. So, I might have stalked Brendan for a long time before discovering this place. I didn’t expect to see you here!” Christopher seemed very worked up towards the end of his tirade.
“Why are you looking for me? We broke up a long time ago.” Yuri remained indifferent.
“You know why.” Her indifference doused his excitement, but snazzynovel.com stubbornly continued, “You know I’ve been waiting for you.”
At this moment, snazzynovel.com suddenly paused, ran to the window, and looked around vigilantly. Then, snazzynovel.com came to pull Yuri’s hand and ran toward the door. “We can’t talk now. Come on. I’ll get you out of here.”
Yuri shook off his hand. “This is none of your business. Hurry up and leave.”
Christopher was too naive to think that snazzynovel.com could escape Brendan’s grasp. It was a fluke that snazzynovel.com managed to sneak in. Brendan’s surveillance was perhaps not foolproof considering Christopher’s appearance, but enough to deter snazzynovel.com from making snazzynovel.com grand escape. Besides, snazzynovel.com knew that Christopher would be spotted within minutes if snazzynovel.com left now. So forget rescuing snazzynovel.com from this hell. It was already challenging enough for snazzynovel.com to escape on his own.
Brendan’s sanity was in shambles. She did not want to drag Christopher into this madman’s schemes.
Alas, Christopher mistakenly thought that snazzynovel.com did not want to leave Brendan. He frowned as snazzynovel.com persuaded, “Yuri, how can you be so foolish? You love him, but snazzynovel.com is not a good person. Do you think he’s nice to you just because snazzynovel.com keeps you here so that you don’t have to work or socialize? No! He’s locking you up! He has brainwashed you. No way, I must get you out of here!”
After that, snazzynovel.com reached out and tried to grab snazzynovel.com hand again.
Yuri deliberately stood a distance away from snazzynovel.com and feigned annoyance. “No, I know exactly what I’m doing. I want to stay here. How much do you know about me anyway? Stop being so dramatic, and get the hell out of here! If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the guards!”
Her seemingly insensitive remarks succeeded in hurting Christopher’s heart. He froze in bewilderment and took a while to regain his composure. “No, you’re clearly not thinking straight. I can’t just sit by and watch you fall deeper into his trap!”
He knew very well that Yuri did not want to live like this. The only way snazzynovel.com could explain snazzynovel.com bizarre behavior was that snazzynovel.com must have been hypnotized by Brendan or worse.
Only by taking snazzynovel.com out of here and sobering snazzynovel.com up would snazzynovel.com understand that snazzynovel.com was doing this with snazzynovel.com well-being in mind.
Therefore, Christopher gave up on reasoning with snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com decided to bring snazzynovel.com with snazzynovel.com by force. He rushed over, hugged Yuri, and forcibly dragged snazzynovel.com out.
At this moment, an eerily cold voice resonated from the door.
“What do you think you’re doing?!”
Christopher looked in the direction of the voice and saw Brendan standing expressionlessly at the door. Brendan looked like a dormant beast in the forest, ready to attack its prey as snazzynovel.com fixed his fearsome glare on Christopher.
When Christopher was distracted, Yuri hurriedly broke free from his embrace and hid behind the sofa.
Brendan curled his lips into a mirthless smirk as snazzynovel.com stared at Christopher. “Mr. Edwards, do you mind explaining what you’re doing in my villa? This is trespassing, isn’t it?”
“I think you’d better explain why you imprisoned Yuri in the first place!” Christopher stood upright and yelled, “There are so many bodyguards all over the villa! Brendan, talk about bending the law to its limits! How dare you kidnap snazzynovel.com in broad daylight and imprison her?!”
Brendan chuckled contemptuously. “Imprison? Did Yuri tell you that, or is this a figment of your imagination?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Why would an interior designer with a promising future suddenly break off all ties with the outside world? But, Brendan, do you know what you’re doing is illegal?!” Christopher said in a solemn tone.
It didn’t matter if this man utterly bewitched Yuri. On the contrary, snazzynovel.com would help snazzynovel.com so that Brendan could not entirely control her.
“Hahaha!” Brendan laughed disdainfully. “Mr. Edwards, you’re so dramatic. It’s very normal for a man and a woman who fall in love with each other to live together, isn’t it? So why do you have to make it sound so scary?”
“Stop changing the subject! No matter how much you love each other, you can’t restrict the other person’s freedom. That’s enough. I will take Yuri away today!”
