Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 706

Half a day had passed since Ariah was locked in the small room. No matter how hard she knocked on the door, no one paid attention to her.

Gradually, a dark cloud of despair engulfed her.

Feeling as though her life was a living hell, she suddenly understood why Nicole was so desperate to escape from Camden's control.

Nicole was forced to live on tenterhooks every day, fearing that she might offend Camden and get punished.

Not to mention Nicole, even she would escape if she had the chance.

After spacing out for a while, Ariah could not take it anymore. She slammed her fist on the door and asked, "Is anyone there?"

However, no one paid any notice to her.

She continued to knock on the door. "I'm dying of thirst. Can you give me some water?"

Still, no one answered her.

Undeterred, she kept knocking on the door as she said, "I'll die if you don't give me water! Do you hear me? If I die, Jimmy will come after all of you! Camden Reeves, didn't you want to trade me for Nicole? If something happens to me, what will you give him in exchange for Nicole?!"

God knew how long she had been knocking on the door. Right when Ariah was about to run out of strength, the door opened.

Ariah raised her hand to shade her eyes from the bright sunlight shining through the door. She could see Camden's tall figure standing at the door through her fingers.

Before she could say anything, she blacked out and collapsed to the ground.

The cold-blooded man did not move an inch when he saw her falling down.

Ariah knew it was going to hurt like hell after she woke up.

As expected, she felt her body ached when she woke up, especially her bottom and back. It was as though she just got beaten up.

Breathing heavily, Ariah rubbed her waist in pain. She turned her head and saw Camden looking at her quietly. Nobody knew how long he had been watching her.

After pausing for a moment, Ariah sat up straight and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Not long. About half an hour."

Looking at the maids standing behind him, she asked, "Can I have some water? If you can bring me some food, it'll be better."

Ariah thought she must have passed out because she was too hungry. Moreover, she was physically and mentally exhausted.

However, the maid ignored her.

Sighing, she had no choice but to look at Camden, the only person who had the final say. "Mr. Reeves, can I have at least a sip of water?"

Camden raised his hand. Without saying a word, the maid behind him left to get some water.

Ariah felt so aggrieved.

After gulping down a cup of water, she felt much better. Then, she licked her lips and said, "Mr. Reeves, please don't lock me up in that small room again. I'm afraid of the dark. Also, I apologize for throwing water at you. It's my fault. I was too impulsive. I'm sorry."

Camden was stunned. He did not expect that she would take the initiative to apologize.

Seeing Camden remaining silent, Ariah thought that he was still mad. Hence, she continued, "I've been punished enough, and I even apologized to you. You're a generous man. I believe you don't want to argue over a small matter with a woman like me. Someone like you, who is capable of doing great things, must be very broad-minded.

Can't you just forgive me this time?"

Ariah was a smart woman. She knew that she would be the one who would suffer as she was in somebody else's territory.

Therefore, she pretended to give in to him, "I promise I'll behave in the next few days. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. I'll definitely comply with your requests, Mr. Reeves."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Camden finally spoke up, "You're very different from her."

"Her? Who?" Ariah was curious. "Are you talking about Nicole?"
