His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1137 Let Down His Guard

Mark headed into the Beauty Mountain Villa to search for the hostages, while Warren drove Vivi to the

foot of the mountain where the villa was.

"What should I do, Sir?" Vivi asked uneasily, fixing her big eyes on the policeman. She was fidgeting

inside the car, not knowing what exactly she was supposed to do.

When she had been with Duncan, he was a manager in Tarsan Corporation. But now, he was a

kidnapper who would do anything for money.

He was a heartless, dangerous criminal. She was terrified at the thought of going to meet him.

She even regretted hooking up with him now.

"Easy, young lady. Just be yourself and pretend like nothing has happened. Don't panic. Most

importantly, don't mention the kids," Warren instructed patiently as he stopped the car at the foot of the

mountain.

"Are you not gonna arrest him now?" Vivi asked hesitantly.

She hated to risk her life helping the police catch Duncan.

'I haven't even reached the goal I have fought for so long yet.

I don't want to die at the hands of a criminal, ' she thought.

"I will, but not now. You need to get out of the car and distract him first. I will follow you discreetly and

make my move when his guard is off. If we get out of the car at the same time, he will get suspicious,"

Warren warned.

"Will I be in trouble, sir? I am scared," Vivi said, with trepidation written all over her face. After hearing NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Warren's words, she was even more terrified than before.

'What if he fails to get him on time and Duncan takes me as the hostage?

I have a pretty face. What if he decides to take revenge on me and disfigures my face?

And if that happens, how am I gonna marry into a wealthy family?' Terrible thoughts raced in her mind

and she panicked.

"You are going to be in grave danger if you don't get out right now," Warren growled threateningly.

He was sure that he wouldn't have any trouble bringing a measly criminal down. He understood that

Vivi was afraid, but he knew that she would be fine. Duncan trusted her and he could easily cuff him

while the criminal was being distracted by the girl. He assumed that the kidnapper wouldn't get any

chance to hurt her.

"All right, fine. I am getting out," Vivi said, noticing the displeasure on Warren's face. 'I haven't proved to

the police that I am not Duncan's accomplice yet. It's not a good idea to bargain with the officer now, '

she mused.

Duncan stood at a distance observing the taxi through his binoculars.

Vivi got out of the car and walked to the trunk. She opened it and tried to drag the suitcase out. She

grunted as she tried to lift the case, but it was too heavy for her. After several vain attempts, she

eventually made it.

Duncan hadn't taken his eyes off Vivi ever since she had gotten out of the car. Even though he was

watching her struggle with the suitcase, he didn't move from his place. He stayed far away and

observed her.

Warren read Duncan's mind. 'He is afraid that it might be a trap. He can't afford to take any risks, ' he

analyzed.

But when Vivi had finally managed to get the luggage, he couldn't wait anymore.

He left his concerns behind and walked towards her.

"What took you so long, Vivi?" Duncan asked.

Vivi saw him approaching, and didn't bother to close the trunk. Instead, she pretended to be angry and

said in a sullen tone, "Come here, Duncan. I need your help. It's too heavy. This stuff is killing me!"

Vivi pursed her pink lips and oozed a bewitching charm. It was always a temptation that Duncan

couldn't resist. Besides, there was a huge sum of money inside that heavy suitcase and it was all his!

He dropped all his defenses and gave in to his greed.

"Leave it to me. I did say that we should go to my apartment, but you insisted on coming over here."

Duncan feigned a whine, his mouth twisting in a perceptible smile.

"I didn't want to wait inside your apartment. I wanted to know what you were doing at a place like this.

What if you were doing something behind my back? I wanted to check on you," Vivi shot back with a

pout, throwing him a suspicious glance. She looked like an upset married woman whose husband

hadn't come home the previous night.

"What did you imagine, that I was sneaking around with another woman in this place? Don't forget that

you are my mistress. I am not seeing anyone except you," Duncan quipped. He stressed the word

"mistress" on purpose.

Vivi wasn't stupid. She knew the implied message behind Duncan's words. 'He is scoffing at me,

reminding me that I am just a woman whom he is having an affair with and that I'm not in a position to

accuse him of seeing other women.

After all, even his wife never blames him, ' she thought, basking in anger.

"Mr. Qiu, you are right. I am just your mistress. Now that you've made yourself clear, I am leaving. I will

look shameless if I continue to be with you." She pretended to hiss at him as she tried to walk back to

the taxi. She was secretly trying to get him closer to the officer.

Taking note of the displeased look on her face, Duncan raced forward and grabbed her hand to stop

her from leaving. "Come on, Vivi, it was just a joke. I came here because I had something to do. I was

worried that you might think I was seeing another woman. That's why I agreed to let you come here. I

hate to be misunderstood by you," he coaxed unconsciously.

Since Duncan and Vivi had first met, she had always acted this way. But he never got sick of her. He

loved how she never hid her true emotions.

She was charming, sensible, and kept him on his toes. He had considered spoiling her his whole life.

"Let's go in there. What do you say?" Vivi proposed, as she pointed to the villa. She wanted to divert

Duncan's attention, while creating a chance for Warren to catch him.

"All right, let's go. I'd never keep anything from you, I promise." Duncan agreed to take her inside

without any hesitation. With the heavy suitcase in one hand, he took his lover's hand in the other.

He felt like the happiest man in the world. He had both, the woman he loved and the money he needed

to make her happy.

Although she had left him for a while, he could tell by her behavior that she still cared whether he was

seeing someone else.

"You're so nice to me, Duncan," Vivi confessed with fake sincerity, meeting his eyes. She hoped that

her fake confession would divert his attention away from the money and lower his guard.

"You dumped me, Vivi. But if you really want to get back with me, I will accept you and treat you as

good as before," he said tenderly, as he fixed his eyes on the meek Vivi. Looking at her sincere

expression, he thought that he had finally gotten his pride back as a man.

"Duncan, I know I made a wrong decision. I have been thinking about you all these days. You were so

good to me. As for that man, he doesn't love me at all. I know you love me with all your heart. If it

weren't for that man, I would never have known that you are the only one who truly loves me. I've

realized my mistake. From this moment on, I will always be yours and I will never leave you again," she

said affectionately.
