Maurice opened the door with excessive force, clearly displeased with the recent development.
The hinges creaked loudly and eerily, which felt like a terrifying scene from a horror movie. Eliana was
so frightened that she closed her eyes immediately.
Maurice snapped, “Look inside.”
“No!” Eliana cried out and shook her head in fear.
“If you don’t open your eyes this instant, I’ll leave you here alone for the rest of your life.”
“Oh my goodness! Please don’t!”
A wise person always knew when it was best to concede. Gulping anxiously, Eliana slowly opened her
eyes.
The view that greeted her was not as gloomy and horrible as she had imagined. Instead, it looked like a
comfortable small room.
Located at the center was a beige bed, surrounded by a small sofa, a TV set, and an elegant cashmere
carpet.
There was everything but a window.
Eliana was stunned. Pointing at the room in confusion, she asked, “Maurice, what is all this for?”
“You really can’t tell? I’m going to lock you up inside.”
A terrified look appeared on Eliana’s face. “But why? What have I done?”
“You have committed terrible mistakes. And you haven’t been completely honest with me as of late.
Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?” Maurice said reproachfully.
“You! How dare you!”
Eliana trembled in anger, gritting her teeth. Her thoughts were so clouded with rage that she couldn’t
speak any further.
Before she could refuse and fight back, Maurice pushed her into the room and slammed the door shut.
As she was trapped inside with no certainty of ever being released, Eliana’s eyes widened in horror.
She frantically twisted the doorknob, but the door wouldn’t budge.
Desperate to get out, she pounded on the door with both fists.
“Maurice, you bastard! Release me!”
Ignoring Eliana’s fits of rage, Maurice calmly turned around and went upstairs.
When he stepped outside of the Moran family mansion, Corbin stood waiting at the gate. Realizing that
Maurice was alone, he became confused.
“What’s going on, boss? Where’s Eliana?”
“She stays here for the time being. This will teach her a lesson.”
Maurice’s face was dark and brooding.
“Boss, did you really lock Eliana up?” Corbin asked in bewilderment.
Was the boss slowly turning evil?
Did he imprison Eliana in a cold and dreary dungeon to be his sex slave?
Maurice glanced at Corbin and knew his subordinate was thinking about something erotic and violent.
He approached Corbin and jabbed a finger at his face. “You idiot! It’s for her own good. All hell has
broken loose outside. It’s up to me to weather the storm. I must first deal with the public opinion and fix
the situation. By keeping Eliana isolated, I could shield her from all the nasty rumors and harassment.
Since she has lost her phone, she won’t be able to see the news online and overthink. It may be cruel
to lock her up, but I will do whatever it takes to protect her.”
After being enlightened by his boss, Corbin breathed a sigh of relief and even felt a little embarrassed.
Maurice glanced at him sideways and ordered, “Send someone to Eliana’s home to conduct an
investigation. I suspect that the little twins are not Nana’s kids at all. It might be difficult to prove my
theory, but I think Eliana is probably the children’s mother.”
“What?” Corbin’s eyes widened in shock. “Eliana is their mother? But that’s impossible!”
“Cut the crap and do as I say.”
“Right away, boss. I’ll call some of our private detectives to carry out this task.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Corbin turned around to leave.
“Hold on. Come back here.” Maurice rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply. “Investigate more
carefully this time. I don’t know what was wrong with your brain that you made this crucial mistake.
How could you mislead me to think that the children’s mother was Nana for such a long time?”
If Corbin hadn’t confidently reassured him that the children were Nana’s, he might have figured out the
truth already. It was such a costly blunder.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Corbin lowered his head and nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, boss. I
won’t make any mistakes this time.”
The moment he knew that Nana was not the children’s mother, a bubble of hope and happiness
swelled in his chest.
So Nana wasn’t Jonathan’s lover? It was merely a coincidence?
The corners of Corbin’s mouth kept rising. But he was afraid that Maurice would question his suddenly
pleasant mood, so he quickly ran away.
Seeing Corbin sprint away as fast as he could made Maurice shake his head. His subordinate fled the
scene faster than a rabbit. The young CEO suddenly regretted giving Corbin a salary raise.
Meanwhile, Eliana was all alone inside the basement room. She was so anxious that she couldn’t keep
still and began pacing around, desperate to break free from captivity.
“Help me! Can anyone hear me? Unlock the door and let me out!”
Eliana shouted with all her might until her voice became hoarse. But there was still no answer. It
seemed that no one was coming to save her.
Damn it! How could Maurice do this to me?
Now that she couldn’t go out and her phone was missing, there was no way she could contact Nana
and the kids to see how they were doing.
This helpless feeling was slowly driving her insane.
Several minutes later, Eliana became tired of shouting and walking. Physically and mentally exhausted,
she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep on the bed.
It was a restless slumber. Tossing and turning in her sleep, she found herself in a dream.
In a daze, Eliana was finally able to return home. She rushed to her two children and hugged them
tightly, crying with joy.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands appeared and forcefully grabbed Aileen and Adrian away from her arms.
When Eliana turned her head to see who had taken her children, she was met with a chilling sight.
Maurice towered over her with a menacing grin, slowly enveloping her in a world of darkness and
misery.
