Chapter 136

Madeline was so petrified that her face had turned pale. She wanted to run, but she was trapped.

Jeremy pinched her cheek and forced her to look at him.

She kept shaking her head as she struggled. “No! Jeremy, don’t touch me! Let go!”

“You were so happy when Daniel kissed you, but now you’re so reluctant when I touch you?”

Looking at Madeline’s conflicting and resisting gaze, Jeremy’s face was grim while his eyes were extremely icy.

“Madeline, look closely. I’m your husband.” His deep and seductive voice sounded next to Madeline’s ear. In the next second, she felt him biting her shoulder.

“I don’t want this, Jeremy!”

She knew what he was going to do to her, and it made her so scared that even her bones were shaking.

However, it was as if the man was possessed. He ripped her clothes garment by garment before devouring her viciously.

Madeline fell asleep groggily. She had a dream that she had gone back to the happiest time of her life.

However, when she woke up, the reality was like a nightmare that suffocated her.

She saw that she was still being trapped and the man was lying beside her. Madeline looked at the moon outside the window with a blank look on her face.

‘The only thing I did was fall in love with you, but why do I have to pay such a heavy price?

‘Why are you torturing me even if you don’t love me anymore?

‘Jeremy, what do you want me to do?’

Madeline did not know how she fell asleep. However, when she woke up, Jeremy was not there anymore. His residual warmth had also dissipated.

She lifted her battered and bruised body before going into the bathroom to take a shower. However, no matter how she washed, she could not get rid of the smell and warmth he had left on her body.

She put on some clothes hastily and went out the door with a pale look on her face. She wandered around the streets aimlessly as if she had been possessed.

She did not know what she was doing. She just wanted to get rid of the memories of him toying with her last night.

However, she could not get rid of those memories no matter what. Then, she decided to go home.

When she was about to open the door, she realized that her door had been pried open.

Madeline thought she had been burgled. However, when she pushed open the door, she saw Meredith sitting on the sofa like a high and mighty princess. There were also two burly men next to her.

The house that Madeline had cleaned and tidied was now in a mess. It was obvious that they were looking for something.

“Why are you here?”

“Why am I here? You should know.” Meredith snorted. “If you don’t want to suffer, give it to me.”

Madeline knew what Meredith was talking about. She had already found out about the earring!

‘Jeremy, you covered this up so nicely.’

Madeline chuckled lowly. “You’re too late. I’ve already handed it to the police.”

“What did you say?” Meredith’s expression changed.

The two bodyguards went up to grab Madeline’s arms. Then, Meredith approached her and slapped her in the face. “Madeline, I think you’re done with life! Take her away!”

Meredith commanded and the two bodyguards lifted Madeline.

“Let me go! Meredith, you evil witch!” After Madeline yelled at her, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck before she lost consciousness.

Madeline was woken up by a pail of cold water thrown over her head. The coldness invaded her entire body, starting from the top of her head.
