PAWNED TO MR. MILLER のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Take ActionAfter strolling around and tidying up her room, she sat on her bed considering whether to call Dr. Debbie Scott or not. If James knew, he might be pissed off but if she didn't do anything, his name would never be clear. She has to take action because no one would. She put Dr. Debby's number on the screen and dialed it hesitantly."Debbie Scott," she picked up the call after the third ring.Becky held her phone tightly,"Dr. Scott, it's Rebecca Beckett, I sent you a message on your social media.""Ah, Rebecca Beckett, yeah about James Miller?""Yes, do you mind talking about it right now? I mean, the internet is crazy, they should know the truth..." said Becky desperately.She could hear Debbie Scott breathing out heavily,"Well, I don't mind, what do you want me to do?"Becky almost jumped in excitement, "To tell the media the untold story, the true story of what actually happened back then? Well, people might believe, and some might not but at least we should try!" she in

Becky shook her head,"No, I can't..." she said, half-chocked.James's eyes darkened, "What about one step at a time?" he replied almost in a whisper."That's not included! We could make it last time! You don't need those stuff, we could still have fun!"James breathed out heavily,"What if I said I faked it?""What?" she glared at him in disbelief. "No, you didn't fake it. I could feel it! Just don't make things more complicated, please..." she begged, teary.She could see the disappointment on his face, he didn't say anything and just left her like that. She plopped down on the floor, she thought everything would go back to standard quickly but the words 'one step at a time' seemed not relatable anymore. When she was busy with her thoughts suddenly her cellphone rang, and she got up to pick it up."Nina?""Hey, my aunt said the bracelet is worth one hundred and fifty-three thousand dollars, what do you say?""Well, send one hundred to Dr. Debbie Scott, she was expecting that number

The sunshine peeked through between the curtains making Becky squint, she opened her eyes and felt empty out of a sudden. She remembered that she broke up with James last night, not broken up though because they haven't started anything. But the fact that James gave up on himself was hurting her so badly.She took her cell phone and was surprised to see a message from Dr. Debbie Scott telling her that she has received the money and will do an interview with some of the TV stations tomorrow.She let out a long sigh, at least people would have a different point of view about James Miller and not judge him without proof.She stretched out her hands, she had to move to Nina's room, but she needed her morning coffee. She walked out of the room and didn't expect to meet James because he should be gone to the office already. But she was wrong, he was there, right in the kitchen."You woke up already?" he said, while his hands were busy putting up some waffles on the plates. Beckky fell silen

That Woman"Becky? Say something!" yelled Phoebe with her teary eyes. Becky gulped nervously, she took a deep breath and sat in between Alex and Phoebe."Listen, none of those words are true, he's lying to you..." she said looking at them in turn."All of them? Including about your slavery thing?" asked Alex in disbelief.Becky sighed,"Look, it's a very long story but everything is fine now! Okay?" she nodded her head."No, it's not okay! Just answer us! Do you work as a slave for him? I mean Mr. Miller," Phoebe demanded an answer.Becky turned her gaze to Nina who just shook her head because she didn't know what to say. She could just lie to her siblings but she knew they would find out about that soon or later. She leaned her back, hugging her knees."Our Dad, he used to work as one of Mr. Miller's bodyguards, he betrayed him, and stole something precious from him, and that drove Mr. Miller mad. Dad ran away and Mr. Miller got me, and you know what? It was Dad's idea to pawn me to

Becky breathed in and breathed out heavily, she has to make her decision to stay or to leave. She should live with pride, how could she voluntarily let James Miller hurt her like that? She didn't say anything and just walked away from the library hurriedly.'She has to leave that place, that's all! After that everything will be easier, one step at a time! Yes, Becky, that's what you should be doing right now...'"Stay..." but she could hear that voice from behind her head, she was sure it was James. She didn't know why but she stopped, hesitating to turn around."I don't know myself anymore, yes I've lost my mind but I couldn't lose you, Becky..." said James, his voice so weak and hoarse.Becky closed her eyes, frowning her face. She was so confused, her pride as a human being? Or her love for the 'unhinged' man behind her. But she turned around, at last. Right there before her eyes, she saw James's sad face, a face that he never show to anyone but her. She walked fast to him, and hug
