A Cue for Love novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 The Insatiable Ingrate

Not a single ray of light permeated the darkness of the pitch-black room. Although the icy cold water was only up till Mandy’s waist, what truly sent shivers up her spine was the unknown slimy objects that she sensed swimming about her feet.

“Ah! What’s in the water? How can it be swimming about like this? Let me out of here at once!” screamed Mandy in fear as she thrashed about in the water in a vain attempt to reach for safety.

Billy shot Mandy a cold glare as he snarled, “So now you’re afraid? You’ve hurt someone that Mr. Bowers cares deeply about! This is just the beginning of what awaits you!”

With that, Billy barked out a few curt instructions to the men watching over Mandy before he turned and took his leave.

Still trapped in this flooded room, Mandy found herself spinning about haphazardly to evade the unidentified creature swimming about and bothering her. In her despair, she wailed, “Don’t leave! Please don’t leave me here all by myself! You can’t treat me like this! I’m from the Watsons family after all!”

Even though Mandy screamed frantically until she had gone hoarse, no one paid her any heed.

After taking his leave earlier, Billy headed back to the Bowers residence and updated Samuel on the current situation.

“Sir, everything has been done as you’ve requested,” stated Billy.

“Excellent! Let’s let this woman stew in the water for some time with those water snakes before we hand her over to the police,” replied Samuel as his lips curled into a faint smile.

“Understood.”

“You may go now,” stated Samuel dismissively.

Just as Billy was about to take his leave, Natalie strolled into the study.

“Hello, Ms. Nichols,” greeted Billy with a formal bow.

Startled by Billy’s sudden gesture, Natalie was about to return the bow when she suddenly felt Samuel hug her tightly from behind. He had such a tight grip that her spine was pressed firmly against his muscular chest with nary a gap between.

They’re too intimate!

“I’ll be rather busy dealing with some important matters during this period of time. I’ll also be away on a business trip. No idea when I’ll be back. Since Franklin and Sophia like you, it only makes sense for me to leave them with you. Sophia especially, since her aphasia has gotten much better ever since she stayed with you,” explained Samuel as he continued with his flirtatious motions.

As Natalie was extremely fond of Franklin and Sophia, she was thrilled at the very thought of being able to take them home with her and to live with them. She couldn’t help but fantasize about how beautiful her life would be living with them and Xavian.

“All right then, that settles it! I’ll take Franklin and Sophia back with me tomorrow,” declared Natalie.

Samuel’s body stiffened, and he gripped Natalie’s chin with his rough fingers. As he turned Natalie’s head to face his, Samuel asked tersely, “Are you glad that I’ll be away on my business trip?” His face had suddenly tensed, and his eyes darkened with an unfathomable emotion.

Startled by the sudden change in atmosphere, Natalie carefully probed, “Should I… Should I be very upset or something?”

At this, Samuel gradually tightened his grip on Natalie’s chin and whispered, “Oh, you insatiable ingrate…”

The next second, Samuel’s lips planted themselves firmly and aggressively against Natalie’s bare skin. Nobody could tell if he was punishing her or simply taking out his frustrations while making his move on her.
