Xyla Quest pushed Tom Sullivan’s hands away and glared at him coldly. “Sorry, but I can’t help you,” she said.In the past, Xyla would’ve felt sorry for Tom right away and gave in to his request.Now, she didn’t feel anything at all.Without looking at Tom again, she decisively walked into the building.Tom immediately started running after her, but two security guards stopped him by the entrance.“Xyla… Xyla…” Tom shouted without care for his reputation.Xyla continued walking without turning back.Disappointed, Tom took a step back. He had a thoroughly exhausted expression on his face.What else could he do? He really was going mad!***Due to an excessive workload, Xyla could only wrap up her work at around seven o’clock in the evening.After turning her computer off, Xyla realized how badly her shoulders and neck were aching.Having stood up and moved around a little, she felt much better. Only then, she put on her body-hugging black coat and walked out the door.Just
Very soon, a familiar yet gloomy face appeared.Just as Xyla Quest had thought, this woman had brought her here.It was Ada.At this moment, Ada stood before her.She was wearing a body-hugging black dress while a black coat draped over her shoulders. With intricately heavy makeup on, she looked like a female mafia boss in the movies.There was a large group of people behind her, and they were all men dressed in black. Like her, they had blonde hair and blue eyes.Each of their faces showed a murderous expression.When Ada saw Xyla, her face seemed even fiercer.Xyla subconsciously struggled to set herself free, but it didn’t help at all.Due to the large force Xyla exerted, she ended up hurting herself with the rope tightly wrapped around her body.Very soon, Ada arrived in front of Xyla and slapped her hard across the face.Feeling the painful burning sensation on her face, Xyla felt an even more intense level of hatred for Ada.“Ada… If you don’t want Skyview Hotel to be
A man dressed in black, who had short hair, was standing in front of the window while he gently swirled a glass of red wine in his hand.He had his back to Xyla Quest.From behind, Xyla could tell he had a shapely figure, and he looked as tall as Stanley Batton.Xyla guessed that he was probably a very young man, and he must be a local.The men dressed in black around her immediately nodded at him respectfully when they saw him.After that, the man holding onto Xyla forcefully tossed her onto the bed.Since the bed was soft and bouncy, Xyla immediately bounced upward slightly when she landed on it.“Master Lancelot… This is the woman we’ve brought you. Miss Ada hopes that you don’t forget what you have promised her before,” one of the men dressed in black said to the man in Country Z’s national language.As such, Xyla felt certain that the man must be from Country Z.In fact, he probably had an unspeakable deal with Ada.Xyla was the subject of the transaction.Meanwhile, Xy
“Miranda… You really do look like her.” The man was murmuring to himself, and he had a deepening frown on his face.He had seen many people throughout the years, but he had never met one who looked so much like Miranda.Xyla Quest had an uncanny resemblance to Miranda.His words ascertained Xyla’s thoughts.From what Xyla heard, she was beginning to feel more certain about the guess she made. In fact, she was starting to think that Miranda was someone this man loved very much in the past. For some reason, he lost her, and Xyla happened to look a lot like that woman.A sense of hope sparked in Xyla’s heart.Xyla took a deep breath and continued to fight against her sexual urges while she started pleading with the man again. “Can you let me go on the basis that I look a lot like her? I’ll repay you,” Xyla said.“Why do you think I’d let you go just because you look like her?” The man looked at Xyla’s face seriously. After some time, his eyes began to wander.“Because of the look
In that instant, the words ‘young urban professional’ came to Xyla Quest’s mind.After taking a deep puff at his cigarette, the man looked at Xyla again. This time, however, he was no longer showing any emotions. “Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Lancelot.”“I’m Xyla Quest,” Xyla said.He took another puff at his cigarette before slowly picking up a remote control and pressing a button on it while pointing it at a large screen.Very soon, surveillance footage of various locations on the cruise ship appeared on the large screen.He directly clicked on the footage showing the deck and put it on full screen.On the deck, Ada could be seen leisurely sitting on a couch while she sipped on a glass of red wine.After emptying her glass, she seemed to be in an even better mood.A large group of men dressed in black with blonde hair and blue eyes stood around her, making it appear as if she was a high and mighty queen.“Xyla Quest, this little b*tch. Her life
It was impossible.It had only been less than ten minutes. Moreover, Xyla Quest would not be so calm if she was raped. What was going on?Did Master Lancelot not touch Xyla at all? Did he give her the antidote as well?Though it sounded ridiculous, it seemed to be the only possibility she could think of. Perhaps Xyla knew Master Lancelot for a long time?Ada’s eyes widened; they were attentive and brimming with curiosity. “What’s going on here?”As soon as she said that, the man in black behind her gave her buttocks a harsh kick…In the very next second, her body flew out and landed directly at Xyla’s feet.Excruciating pain pulsed through Ada’s body, and her mind went blank momentarily.She looked at Xyla and Master Lancelot in horror as if there was a ghost standing in front of her. “Master Lancelot, I have kindly offered you a beautiful lady. Why are you doing this to me?”“And you, Xyla Quest, what have you done to bewitch Master Lancelot?” Ada asked again.What wer
His men immediately stopped moving.“These guys are so irritating. Drag them all out…” Christopher Lancelot ordered again.Without any delay, his men grabbed the injured henchmen by their limbs and pulled them out of the cabin. After the door clicked shut behind them, the whole world seemed to return to its original, peaceful state. Xyla Quest gazed at Christopher, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Who the hell are you?”The man standing in front of her seemed to be very powerful. However, she had never heard of such an influential guy in Country Z. On top of that, she remembered Ada mentioning something about stocks and business. Could he be a gangster?Were the stocks Ada talked about earlier related to drugs?What about the business? Was it about selling and reselling drugs?“It doesn’t matter what kind of person I am. I’ve avenged you, and that’s all that matters.” Christopher refused to give her a direct answer to her question. “Thank you…”“No worries.”“A few da
Very soon, one of his men came in.“Take the ship back to Atlantis,” he said. The man nodded courteously. “Yes, sir!”Then, he stalked out of the cabin.After the door closed, Christopher Lancelot shifted his gaze to Xyla Quest’s face again. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. His eyes were rimmed with red. Methodically, he blew the smoke into the cool air and turned away from Xyla, trying all his might to hold back his tears. Mixed feelings flooded Xyla’s heart as she looked at his sorrowful back.After calming himself down for a long time, he was finally willing to turn back to face Xyla. His eyes were still red as he stared at her face. “Xyla… Can you light a cigarette for me?”Xyla guessed that Miranda must often lit cigarettes for him, which was also why he had requested her to do so.Though lighting a cigarette was just a simple action in our daily life, it must have meant a lot to the two of them. Xyla nodded and reached for the lighter on the bedside table.
