Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 450

Terrified, Ariah swallowed hard and said, "I was wrong. I won't do it again. Don't be mad..."

The voice devoid of emotions scared her as that was not how he usually treated her.

Ariah didn't dare to provoke him anymore. As a smart woman, she started to beg for mercy, "You seemed to be entranced by something, so I..."

"Hush!"

Before she could finish her words, Ricco had lowered his voice and motioned for her to keep quiet. "Don't make a sound!"

Covering her mouth, she stared at the dark road with eyes wide open.

Behind her was the man's broad chest and the steel- like arms around her waist. As her entire body went stiff, her mind buzzed.

"Listen carefully, what did you hear?"

Ricco's eyes were like a wolf in the dark night, staring at somewhere.

Ariah could only hear her heart thumping because of her fear. It was until she heard some noises that she widened her eyes even more. How could there be footsteps in the jungle?

In response, Ricco snorted coldly. "They have really followed me all the way here!"

"W-What?"

What did he mean? She was confused.

As soon as she finished her words, a figure flashed across the bush. Suddenly, a man in black rushed toward them with a dagger that glimmered with fear in the moonlight.

Ariah was dumbfounded at first, but she soon became anxious, "Let go of me!"

Did he want to use her as a shield? Did he want her to be a scapegoat?

Just as she was about to think of a way to save herself, Ricco said, "Don't move. There's an ambush!"

Even if there was an ambush, it was still better than dying in his hands!

There was no way she would listen to him.

As she struggled to run away, she thanked the man in black in her heart for ruining Ricco's plan!

As she fled, she heard the sound of fighting behind her, which almost scared her to death.

Ricco grabbed the dagger of the man in black with his backhand and thrust it into the man's body. When the dagger was pulled out, it had already been stained with blood.

"Help!"

There was a murder!

How she hoped Jimmy could find her, for her safety was in the hands of this former husband of hers.

Shocked, she ran forward with trembling legs. She didn't dare to stop for even a second and continued to run forward with all her might.

Although she had heard her patients' dangers many times with empathy, she had never faced such horrible things in reality.

This was the first time that she was gripped by horror and hopelessness.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, she was tripped and her vision became blurry.

F*ck!

Ariah was in so much pain that her tears were welling up in her eyes, but she still got up and continued to walk forward.
