67 Ch. 67 Anxiaâs Determination
At exactly two in the morning, Anxia got out of bed slowly so as not to wake her daughter, who was fast asleep. She didnât understand why Richard let Lori sleep with her instead of sleeping in her own room. But at least she could be with her daughter one last time before she left this place.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Anxia entered the changing room, which was only a few steps from her bed. This dressing room door was a sliding entrance, making a faint sound when she slid it.
Luckily her daughter didnât wake up because of small noises, so Anxia didnât have to worry about waking her up when she opened the locker room door.
Anxia walked in and looked at the neatly arranged clothes on each hanger attached to the wall. There were dresses, nightgowns, and casual attire, and the closet also had sexy lingerie and underwear piled on one wall.
Most of the clothes arranged there were the ones she and Richard had bought on their first day as husband and wife. Apparently, Richard brought most of the clothes and shoes to this place, making Anxia sigh softly.
Until now, Anxia couldnât understand why that man was still willing to waste his fortune for a murderer like her.
Judging by the tone of the manâs voice, Richard didnât like her profession as an assassin. But why was the man willing to spoil her with goods?
He didnât even miss the chance to flirt and touch her!
If Richard only wanted her to satisfy his desires, he didnât have to force her to marry him to give Lori a complete family.
.....
He couldâve asked her to be his bedmate.
If he had asked her to sleep with him, perhaps Anxia wouldnât mind either as long as she got something as payment. She secretly admitted she enjoyed the manâs touch and how he adored her body by squeezing her breasts and buttocks.
It seemed that only that man could satisfy her desires in this world because Anxia felt disgusted and had the urge to cut off every manâs hand who tried to harass her sexually.
Ever since she had slept with Richard four years ago, Anxia hated to act as a call girl and couldnât even pretend she liked it when she was on a mission.
However, Richard never talked about sleeping together or having sex. The man didnât force her either and always stole the sneak touch with such trickery.
Why did Richard decide to bring a murderer into his family? Was the man not afraid that he would die at her hands one day?
After yesterdayâs incident where she failed to kill that man, she realized Richard wouldnât die quickly at her hands. Thatâs why Richard dared to bring her into his family.
At first, Anxia had no intention of leaving this family because she was beginning to enjoy her life as the wife of a typhoon. But... she still chose Ling Meng over being Richardâs wife.
If her best friend were in danger and needed her help, Anxia would prioritize her friend over this lucrative position.
Anxia chose a light shirt and a life jacket from the nearby storage area. Luckily she had a chance to look inside the small building that served as a warehouse to the east of the castle.
She found some handy tools, such as this life jacket and a flashlight to give light in the dark. Anxia chose a waterproof flashlight and a waterproof parasite bag. She put a spare shirt in the bag so he could change when she got to the other side of the island.
She also wears diving shoes to make it easier for her to swim without exerting all her strength. She stored the sneakers she would be wearing in her parasite bag.
After the preparations were complete, Anxia came out through the balcony of her room. She didnât know the exact position of the camera and relied solely on her instincts to walk through the cameraâs blind spot.
Each camera must have a blind spot, and Anxia hoped her guess was correct and the camera missed her.
Well, even if she were caught, she wouldnât care. After all, Richard was still sleeping, and this security monitoring program wouldnât wake Richard.
The security of this place was barely activated because no one would sneak in or out of this place. Outsiders couldnât find this island, so they didnât have to worry about robbers trying to steal valuables.
They also didnât have to worry about a servant betraying their master because the culprit couldnât escape from this place.
That was why no human watched CCTV cameras for twenty-four hours and instead relied on security programs designed to set the alarm when danger threatened.
Even if the camera caught Anxia sneaking out of the balcony of her room, the alarm would not sound as Anxia was not a threat.
However, Anxia didnât expect or suspect that Richard was standing on the beach looking at her with an expressionless look, as if he was waiting for her to appear.
How did the man know? Shouldnât the man be sleeping by now?
âI didnât want to believe it at first and purposely brought Lori into your room to change your mind. But it looks like even Lori canât change your decision. Did you have to go this far? Does that woman mean more than your daughter?â
âSince when did you know?â without answering Richardâs question, Anxia asked back.
âI donât know. Iâm just guessing.â
âYou canât stop me,â Anxia exclaimed firmly, then walked with steady steps.
âRight. I canât stop you without forcing you. Unfortunately, violence is not my style, so feel free to go as you please.â
Anxia continued walking, ignoring Richard, towards the ocean when she heard Richardâs following sentence.
âBut keep this in mind, once you throw yourself into the ocean, Iâll take Lori to America and hand her over to my brotherâs family.â
Anxiaâs steps stopped when she heard her husbandâs last sentence.
Richardâs twin brother? Raymond? Does that mean her daughter will meet Michele Wong??
That... How could she let that happen?
