Chapter 1174 - 1114: After Becoming a Hostage

Comfort Residential Complex, an Old Neighborhood that has been around for thirty years.

Most of the people living here are elderly, with very few young people. On good weather days, you can often see old men and women sunbathing downstairs and playing mah-jongg, living life at such a slow pace you’d barely notice the passage of time.

"Victoria, that handsome young man you brought home last time, is he your boyfriend?" An old lady asked enthusiastically.

Victoria Logan felt a bitterness she couldn’t express, she awkwardly smiled and explained, "He is not my boyfriend, he’s my cousin, just staying at my place for a few days."

Victoria Logan’s cousin was none other than Night Owl. Victoria helped Night Owl recover from an illness, and thought he would be grateful enough to let her go, but who knew he would stay and not leave.

She had thought of calling the police to have those people arrested, but he directly placed two strands of hair in front of her, along with a pair of old wedding rings, which belonged to her parents.

She called her parents, they thought the wedding rings had been accidentally lost, and were anxious and upset.

Victoria Logan didn’t know what methods Night Owl and his people used to inconspicuously obtain the rings that her parents never parted with, but she dared not act rashly, fearing they would harm her parents.

Now, Victoria Logan only hoped they would leave soon and spare her.

"You’re back?" Night Owl greeted warmly as he saw the woman returning from grocery shopping.

Victoria Logan saw Night Owl bare-chested with bandages around his abdomen and hurriedly lowered her head.

At 26, she’d been busy with her studies and then her work, she hadn’t even had a boyfriend yet.

"I feel like having beef curry today, can you make it?" Night Owl asked.

"I can. But there’s no beef at home, only pork and chicken," Victoria Logan said softly.

"Then let’s have chicken curry rice."

"Okay."

This man wouldn’t let her go to work, casually gave her a suitcase of money, Victoria estimated at least 150 thousand dollars.

She became more curious about this man’s background, yet sensibly chose not to ask anything.

In the current situation, the less she knew, the better.

As for why Victoria Logan, an alumna of Sileria Medical University, hadn’t seen Sienna Johnson’s announcement, it was because Victoria Logan was introverted, didn’t join alumni groups, and rarely interacted with friends.

Victoria Logan busied herself in the kitchen, the small kitchen with open windows still allowed her to hear the old ladies chatting downstairs.

Outside, people communicated in the Amwan Language she didn’t understand, making Victoria Logan uneasy.

"Isn’t it done yet?" Night Owl suddenly came into the kitchen, startling Victoria Logan.

Victoria Logan was making curry, the thick curry emitting an enticing aroma, "Almost."

Night Owl suddenly leaned in, smelling her hair, "What perfume did you wear today, it smells nice."

Victoria Logan looked at Night Owl, his smiling gaze was deep, making her heart skip a beat.

She had to admit, the man in front of her was truly handsome, like a TV star, but far too dangerous.

"I don’t use perfume."

"Women should wear a bit of perfume..." Night Owl leaned in again, smelling her, his warm breath brushed her cheek, making Victoria Logan stiffen, this man had been deliberately teasing her these past few days.

"The perfume that suits you is..."

Night Owl mentioned a perfume brand she had never heard of, Victoria didn’t respond, and Night Owl continued, "I’ll give you a bottle when we get back to Abyanabad."

"No, no need, thank you," Victoria Logan said flustered and unsure.

The curry was ready, she turned off the heat, just about to pour it over the cooked rice, when Night Owl suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Yes."

Night Owl laughed, "What are you afraid of me for? As long as you behave, I won’t hurt you."

The kitchen was very small, their bodies touched, an indescribable ambiguity, Victoria Logan had no experience with men, and had never been so close to a man, she was very nervous.

"The curry is ready, I’ll take it to the dining table," Victoria Logan changed the topic.

Night Owl turned and left, Victoria Logan breathed a long sigh of relief.

When would this man finally leave?

...

After dinner, Victoria Logan took a shower, wrapping herself tightly, and quickly walked to her bedroom.

Returning to her bedroom, she immediately locked the door, turned around, and saw the man sitting on the bed, she was shocked,

"Why, why are you here?"

"Come here!" Night Owl ordered.

Victoria Logan didn’t move, saying, "It’s late, please go back to your own room."

"Come here!" Night Owl’s tone grew impatient.

Victoria Logan walked over slowly, and as she neared the bed, Night Owl grabbed her arm, pulling her onto the bed.

She had just showered, smelled nice.

Night Owl pinned her down, Victoria Logan was extremely tense, "What are you planning to do?"

"You need to help me with a physiological need." Nothing emotional, just a release, an animal instinct.

Men are different from women, men can separate body and heart, unlike women, who link love with sex.

Victoria Logan’s clothes were removed piece by piece, her body turning incredibly rigid.

"Please, let me go."

Night Owl cast a frightening gaze, said nothing, and Victoria Logan succumbed.

She didn’t want to die!

Closing her eyes, Victoria thought, at this age, still being a virgin was incredible. In a society where sex is so prevalent, losing one’s virginity was no big deal.

"Is it your first time?" Night Owl asked.

"Yes."

"I’ll be gentle."

Night Owl felt more amiable towards the woman who had saved his life, not treating her as roughly as others, his actions were somewhat gentler.

Victoria Logan experienced the thrill close to death for the first time, feeling delighted, "Stop moving, I can’t take it."

Night Owl laughed, "This is just the beginning."

"Keep it down, the building’s soundproofing isn’t good."

Night Owl didn’t care if others heard, only about his own pleasure.
