As the door was pulled open, Ariah turned her head and saw Ricco holding a drugstore bag in his hand, which was filled with some gauze and medication to relieve inflammation and stop bleeding.
"You are still here?"
After he closed the door, he looked at her with a faint smile and said, "Why didn't you run away like how you did on the mountain?"
Ignoring the sarcasm in his words, Ariah looked straight at him, "What's going on? Were those people really looking for me?"
"How did you know?"
"When I was held hostage by him, he asked me whether I was called Ariah. He actually knew my name and even said that I was the one he was looking for... He didn't mention you, nor did he directly rush toward you. His goal seemed to be very clear."
Then, Ariah pursed her lips and said, "I don't know those two people. I've never seen them or heard their voices. I haven't gotten into a feud with anyone, so why would I become their target?"
Her mind was in tumult, as she could not figure out the reasons behind those happenings.
"Who the hell are you? What on earth is your identity?" Ariah looked at him in confusion, "I thought you were a bad person and wanted to do something to me, but you didn't really hurt me along the way. Instead, it was you who killed the bad guys."
The more Ariah thought about it, the more she felt Ricco had forcefully brought her out to protect her. "Those bad guys know my name and my identity. They must even know my home address. Did you bring me out first because you didn't want me to come into contact with them? Was it because you wanted to protect me?"
That thought shocked Ariah. Ricco didn't want to hurt her, but to protect her?
This was unbelievable!
But after she finished speaking, she did not get Ricco's response for a long time.
There was no light in the car. She opened her eyes wide, hoping to see his surprised expression, but there was no expression at all on his face.
The uncertainties unsettled her. Did that mean that what she had said was right?
Who was Ricco, actually? Why did he want to protect him?
"Raise your head."
Just then, Ricco took out the medicine he bought from the bag and looked up at her. "What are you thinking?"
Then, he raised her chin and leaned over. "Don't move!"
As Ariah's body tensed up, she remained motionless until he touched her injury, which caused her to take a deep breath.
"Be gentle!"
In spite of the pain, she knew that it was necessary to apply medication on her injury to prevent inflammation. Gritting her teeth, she said, "It hurts!"
"Big trouble!"
Although his words were harsh, his movement had indeed become much gentler.
Because he was applying medication to her, the two of them were very close to each other. Ricco's scent mingled with the odor of cigarettes wafted over her, which made her think of Jimmy.
Jimmy...
If she was not mistaken, he must have found out that she was missing now. However, she didn't bring her mobile phone, so how was he going to look for her?
Although Jimmy was a policeman, how was he going to look for her with no clues available?
Ariah couldn't help but worry.
"What happened to the left of your neck? Why is there a scar?"
Retracting her thoughts, she saw that he was sitting properly. Knowing that the medication had been applied, Ariah touched her neck, which had seemed to be bandaged like a doctor.
"Oh, I used to scratch my neck some time ago. The scar is always there," she said coldly.
Of course, she did not admit that it was caused by herself when she used a knife to threaten Jimmy when they had an argument some time ago.
That rendered Ricco speechless.
Ignoring the way he looked at her as if he was a lunatic, Ariah cleared her throat and said, "You haven't answered my question..."
"Why did you commit suicide?"
Before she finished her question, Ricco interrupted her as if he was very curious about her decision. "You don't look like a person who will do that."
"I didn't commit suicide. I hurt myself accidentally."
"Who hurt you?"
"1-1 hurt myself."
"Then why did you still not admit it? Was that not suicide?"
Instantly, words eluded her.
She really couldn't refute what he had said.
"What had your ex-husband done? What made you so angry that you wanted to commit suicide?" Ricco raised his eyebrows. "If you were angry with him, why didn't you kill him instead?"
Upon hearing that, Ariah was speechless.
After all, the proposition did make sense!
"Answer my question first. Who were those people on the mountain? Who the hell are you? And what do you want to do to me? Do you want to send me home? Or are you going to take me to those desolate places again?"
Rubbing his chin, he stared at her and responded, "How could you speak to me like that when you knew that I wouldn't hurt you? I thought you were a timid lady?"
Ariah rolled her eyes. Well, she was now certain that Ricco really wouldn't hurt her anymore.
Since the fear in her heart was gone, why should she be afraid of him?
"I don't want to play with you anymore. If you don't want to tell me, I'll find it out myself!"
With that, she was ready to open the door and get Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley)
off the car.
However, Ricco quickly locked the car and said glacially, "Stop spouting nonsense. Sit down and fasten your seat belt!"
After he said that, he started the car and left.
Ariah was so furious that she began cursing, "Let go of me!"
Nevertheless, Ricco just ignored her.
As rage spread through her, she cursed all the way until the car finally stopped at a hotel. She was so shocked while staring at the shoddy hotel.
Why did he bring her here? Did he want her to sleep here tonight!
She didn't even dare to think about it. No matter what, she would never stay at such a place!
However...
"Come out now!"
Her resistance was futile as Ricco pulled her out of the car and dragged her into the hotel.
It was silent in the middle of the night, so her voice was especially loud. "I don't want to stay here. I want to go home. Do you hear me? Let go of me. I still have work tomorrow. Ricco, you..."
"Shut up!"
Ricco turned his head and warned her, "I'll go mad if you still make noise!"
D*mn it...
Gritting her teeth, she rolled her eyes and shouted at the receptionist, "I've been kidnapped by this man! Please help me call the police!"
Since she was too weak to break free from Jimmy, she could only rely on the public.
