Joey was dragged into the elevator and the elevator door closed slowly.
Just then, Allen appeared in front of the elevator.
However, he stood with his back to the elevator, searching every corner of the crowed club for Joey with his anxious eyes.
“Oh, Allen…”
Joey was thrilled to see Allen, like a drowning man desperately waving at a boat nearby. Allen was just two or three meters away, but her mouth was abruptly covered by Ben Hawk’s hand. Her voice was almost inaudible, especially in such a noisy club.
Allen apparently didn’t hear her. He kept searching for her with his eyes and started to walk toward the lady’s room. His back was turned to her and the elevator the whole time.
“Allen…turn around, please. I’m right behind you, Allen…”
Joey’s eyes were full of dead panic and despair. She waved his hands desperately in the air, but she couldn’t make a sound. She frantically prayed that he would turn around to see her.
Finally in a telepathic moment, Allen suddenly turned around and looked at the elevator behind.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
The elevator door closed ruthlessly.
For a moment, Allen had the impression that he had seen a pair of teary eyes full of panic and despair, but he thought it was too fleeting to be true.
She fought back wildly, but she was no match to him. The harder she struggled, the greater the pain.
When Ben Hawk was certain that Joey could neither utter a sound nor run away, he grabbed her from behind and pressed his body against hers tightly. He rested his chin on her left shoulder and his eyes were beastly cold in the dusk of the night.
He said, “You must have had a great time these days. Your smile was always so happy, bright and beautiful, but I’d never seen you so happy and sweet when we dated. Didn’t you know that it could be very hurtful to me? In the past five years, have you ever truly loved me? I don’t think so. I hate you when you’re so happy with someone else.”
He touched her skin with his hands. His move was tender and his voice was gentle, but she was frozen to the bones. She couldn’t struggle or make a sound. All she could do was shake her head desperately.
“In the past days when you weren’t around, I’ve missed you a lot, day and night. Do you know how much I’ve suffered? But you’ve been so happy. No, I wouldn’t allow it!”
Ben Hawk became more excited. He was practically growling at the end. He suddenly ripped her clothes like crazy and the sound of clothes being torn up was loud and panicking for Joey.
