Chapter 200
Beyond the Divorce
Abducted on the Way faltered when I realized what had happened. Still, I sighed and left Echelon Towers.
Since I came here in Ryanâs car and didnât want Atticusâs man to take me home, I took a cab. I told Ryan to stay behind because many highâprofile figures from the real estate industry were there.
I knew the event wasnât just a congratulatory gathering. It was also an opportunity for Ryan to network with these people. Furthermore, these people were wellâconnected. As for Lauren, she was excellent at gathering information.
I had sensed something was amiss with Stella tonight. Also, Atlas wasnât just there to celebrate his competitorâs success.
Meanwhile, I became the plot twist in this drama. I overestimated Matthew because he was nowhere near as intelligent as Atlas and Atticus. Matthew was a child compared to them.
I felt a chill in my heart as I entered the cab. My mind seemed distracted, unable to keep up with the mess. As the cab drove into Ember Lane, it suddenly stopped. The driver cursed, âWhat the fuck?!â
Before I knew it, someone yanked my door open and pulled me out. Then, the person pushed me into another car. I tried to open the car door, only to realize they had already locked it. I looked ahead and saw Matthew.
âWhat the hell do you want, Matthew?!â I yelled in anger.
âI want you!â He shouted back, accelerating into traffic. I tried to scratch at him, but he swerved left and right, causing the other cars to honk.
He yelled, âIf you want to die, we can go down together! You were kissing him, werenât you? Iâll make sure to satisfy your needs!â
I clung to the car door in terror. âStop the car, you idiot!â
âWhen did you start seeing him, Chloe?! I didnât expect you to do that!â Matthew cursed as he continued to drive recklessly. However, I noticed he parked at our former house and got out. He pulled me out and dragged me to the entrance while I struggled to break free.
âLet go of me!â
âScream as loud as you want! Letâs see if anyone here still recognizes you. Iâll make them realize who you. are. You may act like a virtuous woman, but youâre a fucking slut! Fine, Iâll let you be your true self,â he sneered.
ew dragged me, and I stumbled along. My legs even hit the stairs as we went up. Soon, we reached the bedroom, Without turning on the lights, he threw me onto the bed.
I noticed this place had been vacant for a while. The room was dusty and smelled damp, causing me to cough. Soon after, Matthew pounced on me and said, âIâll satisfy all your needs tonight. Youâve been wanting it, right?â
He began to undress himself as I fought desperately. However, he slapped me and caused my vision to blur. I lost my strength to fight back and heard him ripping apart my gown. I felt a chill run down my spine as I screamed in horror, âGet off me!â
