"Except for Ivan, no one would help you here. I donāt like Stuart to be a heartless man, so I stopped him doing anything to you. I told him not to hurt you physically, But donāt cross the line. Otherwise, I would make you regret it. It wonāt feel good to be hurt by the man you love."
Edie trembled. She canāt believe that this woman would be this bold to tell her those kinds of words. Sheās just a mistress but dares to bully her.
The rose thorn inserted into her fingers.
She wiped the blood. Her gaze fell quickly to Hicks.
"Hicks, I think I need to make it clear here. Stuartās still my legal husband now. You are just his mistress here. It is not allowed by the law. Besides, youād better not threaten me. I have the pictures of your fair and Stuartās naked. If you push me so hard, I might expose all these pictures. What do you think would happen then? Would you still gain societyās respect? Think about it before you make any move,"
"Naked?" Hicks caught the most important term immediately. She cried out, "what do you mean."
"Stuart liked taking all clothes off while sleeping, donāt you know about this?" Edie raised her small face and smiled.
"...."
These words shocked Hicks greatly.
Sheās been dating Stuart for a long time, but she never slept with him. Therefore, she didnāt know whether Edieās words were true or not.
"Give me the phone, delete those photos," Hicks growled.
Edie showed an ironic smile, "Stupid girl. I have back up of it even if you force me to delete it. Besides, I donāt have to listen to you."
"What do you want? I am the one that should have got married to him. You stole my husband. You should stop this. Bitch." Hicks shouted angrily.
"If he chose you before he lost memory, I would leave immediately. But he chose me. So I wonāt leave."
Edie said with determination.
Sheās always determined.
Looking at her beautiful shining face, Hicks wished she could tear that face apart at the moment.
Hicks squinted, "Donāt do this. Youāll regret it."
"So do you," Edie said coldly.
They stared at each other coldly.
The garden house fell into cold silence.
"Edie, I need you to know I am the hostess of this house," Hicks lost her mind.
"Destroy all flowers here. All!"
"No," Edie said coldly.
But no one cared about what Edieās said,
The maid looked at her, "Sorry, Mrs. Mr. Yates said we need only to serve Miss Day in this house."
Only serve Miss Day...
Edieās heart suddenly ached. All words were held back painfully.
She felt dizzy.
Stuart, why? Why were you keep torturing me brutally?"
"Edie, whatās up?"
A man asked behind. Heās smiled. But his voice sounded incredibly terrified.
"Aaron, what are you doing here?"
Edie turned around. She didnāt expect he appeared here at this moment.
Aaron smiled at her and looked at those maids picking those flowers.
His eyes turned cold immediately.
"Are they bothering you? Donāt worry. I would make them disappear right now."
Edie wanted to smile. Aaron always acted like a pirate.
"No, you donāt have to do this. What can I help you?"
"Donāt be rash. They are pissing you off. I want revenge for you."
Aaron held Edieās arm and held her into his arms.
Edie was shocked. She wanted to step back.
"Donāt move. Or Iāll...."
"Stop..." Edie bit her teeth and stared at him angrily. But she didnāt move.
Aaron didnāt do anything more. He just placed his hands on the waist. But it still looked ambiguous.
When seeing Aaron, Hicks couldnāt help herself trembling. Sheās already restored her memory. She knew this man kidnapped and tortured her.
He was dangerous. Hicks was frightened.
"Hicks Day?" Aaron spelled her name out. Then he suddenly realized something and corrected, "Or, Marina Daisy. I heard youāve restored memory. Congratulations, dear. So, you also remember our.....our crazy wild sex. Right? Seven days and nights. You are under my body...."
He started using dirty words.
"Shut your mouth up," Hicks trembled. Her face turned mad, "Aaron, donāt you dare to mention that. Otherwise, I would kill you one day."
But Aaron never cared about her threat.
"Kill me? How? Fuck me to death?" He laughed out.
Hicks blushed immediately. But Edie didnāt know whether she was frightened or shy.
Aaron...was the cause of Hicksās nightmare.
She was worried that Stuart would disgust her if he knew what happened between her and Aaron. She kept persuading herself to be easy. She didnāt expect Aaron would appear at this point when she finally persuaded herself.
Aaron came here to tear her scar apart.
"Stop. Leave now, please. Youāre not welcomed here," Hicks held her head tightly. It seemed she was suffering from a terrifying nightmare.
"Aaron, letās go."
Though Edie didnāt like Hicks, she didnāt want to torture her.
After all, Marina experienced that for Stuart.
Aaron lowered his eyes, seeing Edieās eyes. He knew she wanted him to stop. Aaron pressed lips and held all those brutal mean words back.
He stopped torturing Hicks because of Edie.
"Several words. Then I would take you away."
Then, Aaron looked towards Hicks, "I could kidnap you again, baby. Donāt force me to do that. And donāt you dare to hurt Edie. "
Then, he held Edieās hand and left.
Right after they walked out of the flower house, Edie shook off Aaronās hand. She didnāt want to go with him.
"Are you here to help me or see how pitiful I am?"
Edieās face was calm, and she didnāt show any sign of weakness as he had imagined.
Before he came, he thought she would be crying hard, and her eyes would be swollen like walnuts. But before he even walked into the flower house, he heard Edieās cold and unyielding voice. He knew that Edie would not be easily bullied.
This is why he likes her!
He raised his eyebrow, and jokingly said, "Youāre not worried that Iām here to look for trouble?"
