Chapter 228
He was curious about this man named Zac. What kind of magic had made her hold onto him for so many years? What if this man was not good? Would it make her give up, stop thinking about divorcing him altogether?
Nina had a nightmare, where she found herself bound hand and foot, locked in a cage, completely becoming a bird in captivity. There was no one around, and no one cared about her. She struggled in the darkness but could not break free from the chains.
Waking up from the nightmare, she was panting slightly, her face covered in cold sweat. Sitting up, she touched her face, calmed down for a while, then looked around. She found herself in a strange place. The room was heated, she was covered in a thin down comforter, and she was wearing a camisole dress, exactly like the one in her dream. This made Nina panic, wondering if she was really locked up. She hurriedly got out of bed and ran to the door. Opening it, everything here was unfamiliar, she had never been here before. How could she wake up here after falling asleep?
She had been with Nash yesterday, which made her shiver involuntarily. The Nash from yesterday made her feel oppressed, and she did not like it.
“Why are you coming out barefoot?” A low, serious voice came.
Hearing the voice, Nina stiffened instantly, subconsciously tightening her arms, then turned to look back, only to see Nash standing not far away. At that moment, she really felt a sense of confinement. Just like in that nightmare.
She was trapped in a cage, unable to go anywhere. Subconsciously, she leaned against the wall, retreating, her eyes staring fearfully at Nash’s serious face.
Nash also noticed her abnormal behavior, seeing him seemed like seeing a ghost. She was not like this before. He walked slowly over, furrowing his brows, and staring at her feet, which were frozen red. “Remember to wear shoes when you come out,” he said.
Nina watched him approach, her breath becoming somewhat stagnant. Once again, she was embraced by him. She stiffened, not knowing what he intended to do, her eyes watching him vigilantly. However, Nash carried her back into the room and handed her a pair of shoes to put on.
Nina then understood his intention. She looked at the door again and asked, “Where is this?”
“My villa. You haven’t been here before, but you have now,” Nash replied. Adding, “Since you don’t like going back to the York residence, then don’t go back.”
Nina wondered why he brought her here. Was it to have better control over her?
She did not like being at the York residence, so if he knew that, why did not he consider this before?
She was worried that he had ulterior motives. Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, she said, “I have to go home. My parents will worry about me.”
Since her parents knew about her divorce from Nash, they preferred her to stay at home and not have too much involvement with him. If she did not return home this late, they would definitely worry. “I’ve called them, so you don’t have to worry,” Nash said.
Nina felt uneasy and asked again, “What exactly do you want by bringing me here?” This place made her feel even more insecure than the York residence. At least she had been there for three years. Here, it was unfamiliar, reminding her of that nightmare, making her feel even more insecure.
Nash looked at her. “You fell asleep just now. Is it uncomfortable to sleep here?”
Nina pursed her lips. “Then why don’t you let me go home? Are you trying to imprison me now? Since I could not be your wife, you want me to be your pet!”
