Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 616

It was dead silent in the pavilion, and even the air seemed to be frozen.

Emily stood in the cold wind in thin clothes, shivering, though it was hard to tell whether it was caused by the cold, or because of fear.

Right now, she could hear her teeth chattering.

And she was overwhelmed with fear.

There was a voice in her mind asking which of the two was the real Kobi? Or perhaps both of them were fake!

Finally, someone spoke. It was a hoarse voice. "We can't keep her alive!"

Despite that he looked the same as Kobi, his voice was different.

Shocked, Emily soon realized that he was not Kobi and perhaps the man who was holding her wrist was Kobi.

"Who are you?"

Emily looked at the man who was grabbing her and asked again, "Are you Kobi?"

To be honest, she was afraid that both of them were fake.

Just then, Kevin burst out laughing. "How hilarious. Can't you recognize your own fiance?"

So... the man holding her wrist was really Kobi then?

The man was furrowing his brows while looking fixedly at her.

He didn't look like the gentle Kobi at all, especially the way he stared at her.

After a while, he finally said, "Enough staring?"

Hearing that it was Kobi's voice, Emily heaved a sigh of relief. "Kobi, who's that man behind you? Why does he look exactly like you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Kobi interrupted her. "Why did you come out?"

"Because I haven't seen you in a while and I was worried about you!"

But never in her wildest dreams did she expect to see such a scene.

When she came over, she saw Kobi talking to someone whose back was facing her. Only when the man turned to leave, then did she see his face clearly.

It was a face that looked the same as Kobi's, so she couldn't help but let out a low cry, thus exposing herself.

"You two finished talking?" Kevin was getting impatient and warned Kobi lightly, "She saw me, so you know we can't let her live."

Kobi frowned.

"Think about your plan. If she tells it, then everything will be over."

Kevin then grabbed Emily over. His face was full of ferocity. "If you don't wanna do it yourself, then I'll do it."

What were they going to do? Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Instinctively, Emily trembled and screamed, "Help..."

But soon, her mouth was covered.

She struggled and looked at Kobi in horror. She would not believe that Kobi would really harm her.

And there was no way that he would kill her.

However, Kobi just stood there expressionlessly, which was frightening.

Gradually, Emily stopped struggling and gazed at him in disbelief.

She felt extremely heartbroken.

Meanwhile, Kevin took her into the car and said to Kobi, "Lend me your car. I'll take this woman away, and make sure that she wouldn't be a problem to us."

Kobi threw the key to him.

Taking it, Kevin then entered the car.

Emily was stunned, but suddenly, she opened the door and jumped out of the car. With a curse, Kevin pushed open the door and chased after her.

Before she could run away, she was captured and got hit so hard on the face that she saw stars.

"Behave yourself!"

Kevin warned in a low voice before dragging her back into the car.

As her consciousness slowly faded away, she continued to look at Kobi, who stood not far away, with anticipation. However, he just stood by and watched.

Eventually, she passed out, and yet, Kobi still said nothing.

She felt her heart break into pieces.

"Are you alright?"

Ariah glanced at Jimmy, who was washing his face, and said worriedly, "You look kinda weird since you came back just now."

Hearing that, Jimmy looked up at himself in the mirror and said with a frown, "You're right. There's something wrong with me."

"What happened?" She was really anxious. "Did Kobi say something?" "No, he didn't say anything." He shook his head.

"Then..."

Suddenly, Jimmy asked her, "Why did you like Kobi before?"

"Uh... what do you mean?"

Ariah felt a little uncomfortable. Back then, she was young and naive, thinking that she should take the initiative to pursue someone if she liked them. However, in the end, everything turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Now thinking about it, she just found herself funny.

On the other hand, Jimmy seemed to be thinking about something as he leaned against the wall. Then, he rubbed his temples and asked, "Do you know if Kobi could hypnotize people?"

Ariah was stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kobi probably knows how to hypnotize too," Jimmy muttered to himself. His face was hidden in the dark.

Ariah was not stupid. Thinking about his words and his strange look earlier, she instantly understood.

"Did he hypnotize you?" she widened her eyes and asked.

Hearing that, he shot her a quick glance and pursed his lips. "That's just my guess."

Ariah's expression changed and she pulled him aside. "Sit down!"

Puzzled, Jimmy raised his eyebrows at her. "What's wrong?"

"Sit down first!" Ariah was anxious. "Hurry up!"

Jimmy didn't know what she wanted to do, but seeing her worried look, he just did as she said.

Then, Ariah lifted his head and pulled up his eyelids to examine him carefully. Seeing that he was fine, she let out a sigh of relief.

"What did you do?"

"I was checking if you're hypnotized." Ariah explained, "Those who have been hypnotized will look different. Others might not be able to tell, but I can."

So that was why she got so worried just now.

Jimmy smiled and took her hand. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

If he was really hypnotized, he would not have sensed the strangeness earlier.

Since he knew that there was something wrong with him, then he must be fine.

"Yeah, I've checked that." Ariah nodded her head and a trace of suspicion flashed across her face. "Anyway, why would Kobi hypnotize you?"

With some hesitation, Jimmy said, "Is it possible

that I've made a mistake?"

Perhaps Kobi didn't hypnotize him and he was just being sensitive.

Ariah couldn't say for sure either. After all, she wasn't there to see it.

They fell into silence. A while later, Jimmy stood up and patted his clothes. "Let's go. It's time to head back now."

"Oh, okay."

Ariah followed him down.

Going downstairs, they ran into Mack. "Are you guys leaving?"

"Yeah, it's getting late," replied Jimmy.

"Well, why don't you two stay here overnight, and I'll let Maya prepare your bedroom..."

"Nah, there's no need." With his arms wrapped around Ariah's shoulder, he added, "We still have some business to attend to when we get back."

Those words sounded quite ambiguous.

Not only Ariah, but even Mack's face had turned red. Quickly, Mack waved his hand and said, "Alright, go. Drive safe."

With a smile, Jimmy took Ariah's hand and left. Nevertheless, Ariah's ears had turned red, and she pinched his hand heavily.

"What a shrew," he remarked.
