Chapter 1484
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âWhyâ¦are you planning on putting me in a luggage case or a bottle?â
She had legs, and she could walk by herself.
Whyâ¦
Why was he squeezing her in such tight spaces?
She was a fully-grown adult. How could she possibly squeeze in those things?
Larry chuckled. He chuckled so heartily and genuinely, anyone who saw him would praise him for being a simple and honest man.
But right now, this simple and honest man was making Ceciliaâs hair stand on end.
Larry scratched his head, as if he didnât care at all that Cecilia had just struck him with a vase.
âI either cut you up into pieces or burn you up. That way, Iâll be able to keep you in a luggage case or a bottle easily.â
Ceciliaâs heart shook in fear.
Her body trembled as she asked, âLarry⦠Are you going to hurt me?â
âIâm not hurting you,â Larry said, âIâm just trying to find a way so that weâll never be apart.â
He reverted to the logic he demonstrated earlier in their conversation.
âDidnât I make myself clear just now? Since youâre willing to be with me, youâll definitely have to go with the arrangements I make.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
What kind of logic was that?! Cecilia was utterly confused by him.
The moment she understood where Larry was going, she yelled furiously, âLarry Webb! I repeat, I never said I want to be together with you! I donât want to lose my life here!â
With that, she picked up a ceramic shard from the broken vase and threatened, âDonât come close! If you take so much as a step toward me, Iâll kill you first!â
The shard wasnât large. Even if she managed to stab Larry with it, she probably wouldnât be able to cause much harm. What she was doing was akin to attempting to stop a moving car by standing right in front of it.
It made Larry think of her as even weaker and more vulnerable.
He easily closed the gap between the two of them.
Cecilia tightened her grip on the shard.
âLarry Webb!â she yelled at the top of her lungs. âDonât come close! Do you hear me?â
âI didnât plan on making a move on you today,â Larry said, sighing.
âBut if you go on like this, others might think that Iâm abusing my wife. I canât let our relationship be smeared by malicious rumors. Cecilia, donât worry. Whether I decapitate you or burn you alive, Iâll be very gentle and very careful. Iâll make sure you wonât feel any pain at all.â
With that, he stepped closer to her.
Before Cecilia had a chance to stab him, the sharp corners of the shard dug into her hand. Blood flowed down her arm, but she couldnât care less about the pain. Determination flashed in her eyes.
She had made up her mind. If Larry dared to come any closer, she would stab him!
She had to get out of this place alive before she had any possibility of talking about the future. If she could get herself back to her family, everything would be fine!
Reality, however, seldom matched expectations.
Larryâs chubby figure wasnât in vain. When Cecilia moved closer to him, he preempted her next move by reaching out and grabbing her arm.
Cecilia felt a sharp pain on her wrist, which soon turned red.
âIâm sorry,â Larry said with feigned kindness. âDid I hurt you? I was trying to control my strength. Cecilia, work with me. If you do, itâll hurt less.â
Cecilia was going mad.
The man before her was turning into the devil himself!
She was a goner.
As his grip over her wrist tightened, she screamed.
Bam!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound at the door.
Larry looked annoyed. He glanced at Cecilia, and covered her mouth with his hand.
âCecilia, these people have come to tear us apart! Donât make a sound! Just lean in my embrace and stay quiet, okay? As long as we stand firm and determined, no one can tear us apart!â
He was insane.
He was a raving lunatic!
