When I Was Running The Lovers’ Guesthouse のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I held the door shut and let them keep pounding on it from inside.The sound of splashing water, terrified voices, and some suggestive noises filled the room.The person knocking gradually grew weaker.I tossed away my cigarette butt and opened the door.Shannon crashed into my arms. Her eyes welled up with tears as she sobbed and pleaded, “Sir, some guests are pinning my sister down on the pool terrace! Please, you have to save her!”I casually wrapped my arm around Shannon, and my fingers slid across her chest.Her whole body trembled. For a moment, she forgot what she was going to say.However, I did not let my hand move any lower. Instead, I took out a green gemstone necklace and put it on her.Then, I said gently, “Don’t be scared. This necklace looks great on you.”She was at a loss as she stared at the expensive necklace.I gently adjusted the necklace so its pinhole camera could see underneath her clothes.Then, I pulled her along and rushed over to Jadine, who was p

When the door closed automatically, a voice came through the camera.“Jordan Brook, have you lost your mind? How long have you been in this business? Now you pull this nonsense on me? If those two don’t go up to the VIP room tonight, you’re not leaving this place.”I kept quiet. I wanted to fight it, but my body just would not cooperate.That pain came back, like something drilling straight into every bone. I could not think straight. All I could do was curl up and suffer.Contemptuous laughter erupted from the camera. “Jordan, if you want to stay alive, keep doing what I tell you. Send them up like we planned, and don’t pull any more nonsense.”My face was deathly pale, and I was drenched in sweat. My body had already gone numb. “Fine. I’ll do it.”They kept at it for another ten minutes, until I was practically ready to gnaw off my own flesh. When they finally let me go, I bolted into the room, locked the door behind me, and fumbled open the small box for my medication. It

“I don’t have much time left, George. Don’t think for a second I don’t know what you’re up to. “You’ve watched me get more and more successful working under your father all these years, and it’s been eating at you. Now you want to take me down and take everything I’ve got.“You’ve been with every kind of woman out there. There’s no way you’d lose control like some wild animal that easily.”George stopped what he was doing and looked at me like nothing had happened.Then, he poured himself a row of shots and said casually, “Jordan, you’ve made a fortune these past ten years. You’ve completely outshone me. “Even my father’s men say you’re more like his son than I am. Isn’t that right?”I sneered. “Cut the nonsense! My business, all of it, goes to you. I don’t want a single cent!“Remember this, George. I fought my way up on my own! If you don’t let them go, and if you push me too far, I’ll go all out and fight you to the death today!”I patted my pocket as a warning.He did no

By the time I got there, the VIP room was a total wreck. Jadine lay in the middle of it.I was so furious that I screamed at George and everyone else there, “I’ll kill anyone who tries to stop me!”Nobody blocked my way. However, George, who was lurking in the shadows, just laughed. “She’s already dead. Take her if you want.”Panic hit me, and my body started trembling uncontrollably.That was when I finally realized that something was wrong with her. I dropped to my knees and gently patted her face, sobbing. “Jadine! Jadine, it’s Jordan. I’m here. Wake up. Come on, wake up!”No matter how frantically I shouted, her glistening eyes never opened again. When I let go, her arm fell limply. The last bit of warmth in her skin slowly went cold, and the chaotic, flickering lights faded away.Under the harsh lights, I finally saw the full extent of her injuries. Jadine had been tortured beyond recognition. She had been tortured so savagely that no one showed her even a shred of decen

I looked completely unbothered. A slap on the wrist like that could never make up for Jadine’s death or all the years of suffering I had endured.Shannon gently set a small bag down on the stool.Before ending it all, I wanted to ask a few questions. I looked at Edward and asked, “Did you ever regret what happened to my mom?”He shook his head calmly. Then, I looked at George. “You’re the one who killed Jadine. I want you to apologize to her in front of her grave. Loud enough for everyone to hear. Three times. I want you to own up to what you did. Will you do it?”George was furious. “You want me to apologize to a loose woman? Jordan, have you lost your mind?”He lunged at me, aiming to strike, but Edward’s butler, Keith Lance, held him back. Keith barely moved, yet George could not shift even half an inch. I knew full well he was not just any butler.Edward had been guarding against me. I laughed openly and without holding back. “Fine then. Go keep her company in the under
