Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1318

Elliot hissed through clenched teeth, "You better watch your words. I've already delivered what you wanted. Return her to me immediately!"

His eyes were fixed on that fragile figure as if afraid she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Sure thing," Reuben said with a seemingly agreeable expression. "I can give her to you, but since we're here today, let's have some fun."

Elliot did not hesitate. "Fine."

"You're agreeing just like that?" Reuben's excitement surged instantly.

He tossed a dagger to Elliot's feet with his right hand.

"Rumors say you're skilled and untouchable, that no one could hurt you. However, I believe you can do it yourself," Reuben said with a twisted smile.

"What's this? You can't bear to hurt yourself? For every drop of your blood that hits the ground, I'll let her take a step toward you…"

Elliot bent and slowly picked up the dagger, and the blade gleamed while it was being unsheathed.

"Do it! Are you perhaps scared? They say you love your wife dearly, but I guess it's not true. Is her life less valuable than your own?"

Reuben looked disdainful, convinced that Elliot would not dare to harm himself.

Elliot scanned the sharp blade, his expression determined as he pondered where to make the cut.

Then, he aimed at his own arm and made a slash.

Droplets of blood fell onto the dry leaves on the ground.

Sheena gasped, staring at him inexplicably.

What was he doing?

Why did he harm himself even though he knew it was just an act?

Was he insane?

Contrasting Sheena's shock and distress, Reuben was delighted.

"Yes, that's it. Keep going."

Even though his arm was bleeding, Elliot seemed unfazed by the pain, and his expression blank.

Taking advantage of Reuben's momentary distraction, Elliot flung the dagger at Reuben.

Reuben screamed in agony, his grip on Sheena's wrist loosening as blood poured from his arm.

Sheena anxiously approached Elliot, checking his wounds.

Her heart ached, and tears soon welled up in her eyes.

"Why did you listen to him?"

Sheena could not understand why Elliot hurt himself.

Elliot shrugged it off, his gaze tender as he replied, "It's just a scratch. I'll explain later, okay?"

Seeing Sheena covered in dirt made him distressed.

For the past few days, they could not meet each other, and he had spent sleepless nights worrying about her suffering in the basement.

He had to do something.

At least if he suffered a little, it would compensate for some of Sheena's pain, allowing him to find some peace of mind.

Sheena probably guessed what he was thinking, and she pinched his handsome face irritably.

"If you're looking for trouble that badly, I'll give you a good beating when we get home, one that you'll never forget…"
