My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I frowned then bent down to pull Kelsey up but she refused to get up. While sobbing, she said, "Director Reid, only you can help me now. Calvin is a devil. In order for him to stand firm and tall in Alford Audit, I did what I wasn't supposed to do according to what he told me. It was only after that I found out that he's abusive. He'll fly into a rage and act moody from time to time. When that happens, he'll get violent with me. Sometimes, he would even kick me out of the house late at night. I really can't take it anymore. I'm now all alone without friends or family. You're now the only one I know who can help me. So please, please help me."

I didn't know how to react for a moment. Recollecting my thoughts, I said, "If you're not happy with him, you can just divorce him. It's easy for you now that he's being detained. You can find a new job, live a good life. Why do you need my help?"

Kelsey shook her head again. Tears streaming down her face. "It's no use. I called the police the first few times when he got violent with me. He got detained but a few days later, he was bailed out. He'll treat me even worse when he's out. I asked for a divorce but he disagreed. I'm now chained to him, and I have no idea how to break myself free. Please, please help me."

"How can I even help you?" I didn't know what to say. This was her family's affairs and I doubt that I could be of any help. Plus, normally, in this sort of situation, only she can give herself the help she needed. Kelsey looked up with her red and swollen eyes. "Calvin relies on his position as the CEO of Alford Audit and also the power the Hammers possess. If he loses their help, he'll be detained for at least 3 years. By then, our marriage will be dissolute as we've lived separately for 3 years. Oh, Director, Mr. Roberts loves you so much. If you would just tell him, I'm sure he'll do as you say."

I frowned. I was a little speechless. When did Hendrix ever love me?
