A Cue for Love Chapter 182 The Insatiable Ingrate Not a single ray of light permeated the darkness of the pitch-black room. Although the icy cold water was only up till Mandyâs waist, what truly sent shivers up her spine was the unknown slimy objects that she sensed swimming about her feet.
âAh! Whatâs in the water? How can it be swimming about like this? Let me out of here at once!â
screamed Mandy in fear as she thrashed about in the water in a vain attempt to reach for safety.
Billy shot Mandy a cold glare as he snarled, âSo now youâre afraid? Youâve hurt someone that Mr.
Bowers cares deeply about! This is just the beginning of what awaits you!â
With that, Billy barked out a few curt instructions to the men watching over Mandy before he turned and took his leave.
Still trapped in this flooded room, Mandy found herself spinning about haphazardly to evade the unidentified creature swimming about and bothering her. In her despair, she wailed, âDonât leave!
Please donât leave me here all by myself! You canât treat me like this! Iâm from the Watsons family after all!â
Even though Mandy screamed frantically until she had gone hoarse, no one paid her any heed.
After taking his leave earlier, Billy headed back to the Bowers residence and updated Samuel on the current situation.
âSir, everything has been done as youâve requested,â stated Billy.
âExcellent! Letâs let this woman stew in the water for some time with those water snakes before we hand her over to the police,â replied Samuel as his lips curled into a faint smile.
âUnderstood.â
âYou may go now,â stated Samuel dismissively.
Just as Billy was about to take his leave, Natalie strolled into the study.
âHello, Ms. Nichols,â greeted Billy with a formal bow.
Startled by Billyâs sudden gesture, Natalie was about to return the bow when she suddenly felt Samuel hug her tightly from behind. He had such a tight grip that her spine was pressed firmly against his muscular chest with nary a gap between.
Theyâre too intimate!
In his embarrassment, Billy couldnât bear to witness the scene unfold any further and hastily took his leave, making sure to close the door firmly shut behind him.
âSamuel! You-â began Natalie before she abruptly cut herself off. She had wanted to chide Samuel for his behavior, but she knew that her efforts would only be in vain. Furthermore, there was also a good chance that her words would have enraged Samuel further, and she would have to go to great lengths to cajole him just to calm him down.
After a brief silence, Natalie finally spoke, âNow that youâve pretty much recovered from your illness, Iâll be moving back home to stay starting tomorrow.â
âSure,â replied Samuel.
Somethingâs wrong. He agreed to that way too easilyâ¦
âYouâre okay with that?â asked Natalie in surprise.
At this, Samuelâs lips mischievously wandered about her ear before it finally settled on her earlobe.
Natalie couldnât help but let out a soft gasp. Deep down, she hated herself for being so sensitive to Samuelâs touch. From where she stood, that she reacted this strongly in response to his flirtatious advances was nothing more than her bodyâs betrayal.
As his heavy breathing tickled her ear, Samuel whispered, âOf course, your request comes with a condition you have to fulfill on your end before I agree. You have to take Franklin and Sophia home.â
Natalie was again taken by surprise at this recent development. As she struggled to conceal her glee, she asked, âYouâre asking me to take Franklin back? Are you messing around with me, Samuel?â
âIâll be rather busy dealing with some important matters during this period of time. Iâll also be away on a business trip. No idea when Iâll be back. Since Franklin and Sophia like you, it only makes sense for me to leave them with you. Sophia especially, since her aphasia has gotten much better ever since she stayed with you,â explained Samuel as he continued with his flirtatious motions.
As Natalie was extremely fond of Franklin and Sophia, she was thrilled at the very thought of being able to take them home with her and to live with them. She couldnât help but fantasize about how beautiful her life would be living with them and Xavian.
âAll right then, that settles it! Iâll take Franklin and Sophia back with me tomorrow,â declared Natalie.
Samuelâs body stiffened, and he gripped Natalieâs chin with his rough fingers. As he turned Natalieâs head to face his, Samuel asked tersely, âAre you glad that Iâll be away on my business trip?â His face had suddenly tensed, and his eyes darkened with an unfathomable emotion.
Startled by the sudden change in atmosphere, Natalie carefully probed, âShould I⦠Should I be very upset or something?â
At this, Samuel gradually tightened his grip on Natalieâs chin and whispered, âOh, you insatiable ingrateâ¦â
The next second, Samuelâs lips planted themselves firmly and aggressively against Natalieâs bare skin.
Nobody could tell if he was punishing her or simply taking out his frustrations while making his move on her.
