My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix was a little angry when he saw that I was quiet. With his eyes unflinching, his gaze was focused on me. "You're willing to wreck yourself for someone who isn't worth it at all. You're really daring, huh." Perhaps he had seen the wounds on my body, as his tone was a little heavy.

I pursed my lips and looked up at him. Feeling a little wronged, I said, "My wounds hurt!"

It really did feel painful. Calvin's force was brutal and he wasn't gentle with me just because I was a woman. I was lucky and fortunate that I did not get strangled to death by him.

He sneered. "Huh! You know what pain is."

Knowing that he was angry, I pursed my lips and said, "I had never expected him to be so ruthless with me. I thought that all of you would be there in just a short while. Who knew that things would turn out in such a way."

He snorted and said, "So are you blaming us for coming late?"

I shook my head and gave him a light smile. "It's good enough that you came."

"Why was Michael in the hotel as well?" Hendrix asked in a serious tone, "I know that you wanted to help Kelsey but why was he there?"

I was also surprised to see Michael in the room. I guessed that Kelsey was the one who lured him there. But he was smart enough to make the right move and attack Calvin at the right time to make people believe that he was actually there to rescue me.
