Chapter 6 Captives

作者: Citywhisper
He squeezed into the room and shoved everyone away. He pulled me away from the sink and angrily asked, "How did this happen?"

Wendy held my ice-cold hands. She was blaming herself, and she said, "That hit took me out for quite a while, but I told your brother everything. I should've woken up sooner. We could've found you before all this happened."

I smiled, but I knew I must be paler than a ghost. Even so, I consoled them. Slowly, I said, "I'm alright. Hey, I'm not dead yet. It'll be fine. I just need to rest up." Speaking of rest, sleep was starting to claim me. I just wanted to hit the hay.

Annabelle was staring at Gregory, her eyes wide. She didn't understand how Gregory could know me. To her, I was someone with no money or background. Gregory shouldn't be so concerned about me.

She then looked at Zacharias, giving him a look that demanded answers. Quietly, she asked, "What's going on? I thought he was your brother. Why is he worried about Horatio instead? Even if he's trying to

  • Reborn for Revenge, I Went Mad   Chapter 7 Punishment

    "I thought the Leafensteins protected their second-in-line enough that no one would have the gall to impersonate him, so I thought you were telling the truth! You should've said something sooner! Do you have any idea how much I've fucked up thanks to you?"I looked at the captain intently. "Hey, I told you I'm the second-in-line, too. Why didn't you believe me?"In a hurry, the bodyguard clarified, "I mean, the secretary told me you were on the fifth floor, and I ran into this guy when I got there. He was injured, but he adamantly told me he was second-in-line, so I bought his story."He then lowered his voice, "And he wore brand-name goods. He was obviously rich, so I didn't suspect anything, but I didn't even notice any brand name on your clothes. I thought you got them from a thrift store, so I thought you were lying to me."I laughed mirthlessly. Yes, I had to play the act of a pauper to hide who I really was from Annabelle, but my clothes were not cheap. The best clothes were

  • Reborn for Revenge, I Went Mad   Chapter 5 Near Death

    Gregory stopped. "What was that?"The bodyguard behind me pinned me down, while Annabelle stood in front of me and smiled. "It's nothing. I hit the chair. See you, Mr. Leafenstein. Tell me if you need anything. My family will always be there for you."Ah, yes, of course. She was hinting at the marriage. Gregory, however, was colder than she expected. He left without saying a word to her. Annabelle was stunned. Though he was a man of few words, he was at least cordial to her.This time, however, he was icy. She had no idea that Gregory was only cordial because of me. Now that she was no longer the woman I wanted, she meant nothing to him.She was pent up, so she let out her anger at me. "You just had to make that sound! You're nothing! Nothing! Even if you got his attention, he would not have saved you! And now he took Wendy away! If this hurts my marriage with them, I'll kill you!"The kicks did not stop. She was evidently making me her punching bag. I knew she was starting to p

  • Reborn for Revenge, I Went Mad   Chapter 4 Effort

    I was a haggard mess, and blood caked my face. Gregory thought I looked familiar, so he tried to have a closer look, but the bodyguards' captain stopped him. He simpered and smiled unctuously. "What brings you here, Mr. Leafenstein? Are you unwell? I'll get the best specialist they have."Gregory gave him a look but stayed silent. Instead, he pointed at me. "Who is that? I want to have a closer look. Bring him to me."Panic flashed in the bodyguard's eye, but he quickly hid it. "Just my employee, sir. He failed in his job, so I was just teaching him a lesson. You shouldn't check on him. He's filthy."Gregory didn't believe him. He still wanted to have a closer look, but the bodyguard mustered up his courage and got in Gregory's way again.Gregory's face fell. He was going to be upset. I knew how much he disliked employees who did not listen to him. The family had a lot of wealth in this city, and a lot of people were after them.I was never allowed to go out as I pleased, and I wa

  • Reborn for Revenge, I Went Mad   Chapter 3 Suffering

    That did not make the bodyguard waver. He clicked his tongue. "No, you're mad. I've been working for the Leafenstein for ten years, and Mr. Zacharias is the second-in-line I know. How dare you impersonate him!"Zacharias came out from behind and looked at me coldly. I had the feeling he saw me as nothing but meat he could carve up. He turned to Annabelle. "What now, Annabelle? All I wanted was to drink with my friends, but your boyfriend told everyone I'm a fake heir."My family has always lived a low-profile life, so I've been tolerating his behavior. I even called my chauffeur and tried to send him away, but he accused me of hitting him with my car. He's ruining my family's reputation. I must do something about that."He was twisting the truth. It was absurd, but Annabelle went white. She grabbed my collar and pulled me off my wheelchair. Then she kicked my knees and made me kneel. She told someone to push my head down to the ground."I can't believe you'd do that, Horatio! Apolo

  • Reborn for Revenge, I Went Mad   Chapter 2 Ignorant Bodyguard

    Zacharias froze, but then he smiled evilly. He slapped her hard, and Wendy fell to the ground. The bastard started taking out his belt. "And so what? She should thank her lucky stars, I want her. I'm the Leafensteins' second-in-line. Her family only lives thanks to me. I'll tell Annabelle that you're the one who attacked her sister."It's your word against mine. She's going to kill you, and it'll have nothing to do with me."I was panicking, but my legs were broken, and I couldn't move. I spilled the truth. "Enough! I'm the Leafensteins' second-in-line! Wendy is under my protection! Touch her, and my family will make the rest of your life your worst personal hell!"Zacharias guffawed. "Nice acting, but the Leafensteins' heir has confessed that I'm his brother. You don't get to impersonate me."That shocked me. No one told me about that. My parents were deeply in love and had no children outside of their marriage. Gregory told me I was his only brother, so who was this guy?Before
