Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 791

A tall and slender figure stood at the door like a ghost, his face hidden in the darkness.

"Who is it?"

The bald man shouted.

Suddenly, the man stepped into the room, dressed in black.

Sensing that something was not right, Allen demanded, "Who the hell are you?"

As the man slowly approached, Allen was finally able to see his face.

A pair of deep dark eyes and thin lips etched on the expressionless face. There was absolutely no emotions at all in his eyes as if he was a lifeless being.

Being stared at by such striking eyes, Allen and the bald man felt fear crawling all over their bodies.

Then, the man turned his gaze at the girl on the bed and finally spoke after seeing the tears in her eyes, "Elaine..."

A shiver coursed through Elaine's entire body as she raised her head in disbelief. "D-Dr. Perkins?"

Hearing her voice, the man smiled and said, "Hey, close your eyes."

She looked at him in confusion. "W-Why..."

Vincent raised his hand, holding a gun.

He aimed the muzzle at the stunned bald man.

Bang!

There was a gunshot.

The bald man collapsed.

Allen was so scared by the scene that he peed his pants, his eyes wide opened in disbelief and his body trembling.

Then, Vincent turned and pointed his gun at him.

Terrified, Allen went down on his knees and pleaded, "P-Please, don't kill me!"

Looking at him with his lifeless eyes, Vincent huffed, "Don't kill you? After what you did, I should've killed you a thousand times."

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Allen was so scared that he started to bow his head.

This man was too terrifying, as if he had just returned from hell.

When Vincent was about to pull the trigger, Ruben rushed in, pushed him aside, and growled frantically, "Don't! You're done if you kill another person! Remember what you promised me before we came to Beachmarsh City? You said that you won't kill another person!"

Vincent turned his head and looked at him.

The stare brought goosebumps on Ruben's arms and he shuddered all over.

His eyes were dark and devoid of any human-like emotions as if he had returned to his past self.

Scared, Ruben wanted to take the gun from him, and Vincent frowned slightly.

Seeing that, Ruben withdrew his hand and glanced elsewhere followed by a surprise shriek, "Miss Jacob!"

Only then did Vincent react. He turned to look at the bed and found that Elaine had fainted.

Letting go of the gun in his hand, Vincent walked towards the bed.

Then, he bent down, picked up the unconscious girl, and turned to leave.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Ruben picked up the gun and was about to get out of the room when Vincent's flat voice echoed, "Take him."

Ruben smiled bitterly. Indeed, although Vincent spared Allen's life, he was not going to let him go so easily.

When Elaine woke up, she found herself soaking in warm water, her body floating cozily.

It was so comfortable that it felt like she was lying in the clouds.

"How are you?" A voice suddenly resonated behind her ear. She was so surprised that she wanted to sit up, only to find that she was trapped in someone's arms.

She had been leaning in his arms all the time!

She tried to struggle her way out.

However, Vincent clutched her waist with his hands and said unhappily, "Don't move."

With that, she froze and didn't dare to breathe heavily.

What happened before she fainted flooded into her mind.

The stench of alcohol from a man's body...

Bright red blood flowing from another man's body as he was hit by a bullet... All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

These scenes kept replaying in her head and were tearing her apart.

This was too much for her to bear that she sat in a daze with a hint of confusion and fright in her eyes like a frightened deer.

Vincent went to her.

Slowly, he carried her out of the tub and straight to the bed without wiping her dry. Laying her on the bed, he looked down at her before bending down and kissing the water drops off her body.

Red in embarrassment, Elaine struggled frantically, "D-Don't..."

Gradually, she struggled with great strength, and her voice became sharp. "No! Let me go!"

The image of her being held down by the two men in that room appeared in her messy mind again.

Her shriek made him stiff. He stopped and pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid. It's me."

She freed herself from his embrace and curled up in a corner.

Vincent wanted to pull her back, but she looked at him with vigilance. "Stop right there!"

Its me...

"Go away!" She didn't let him get close to her.

Vincent frowned, thinking that she was afraid. "You are safe. Everything's fine now."

After comforting her, he thought that she had calmed down, so he leaned towards her again but she was even more alert. "Stop right there!"

"I'm How..."

"No, you're not!" Elaine screamed, interrupting him. "Who the hell are you?"

Upon hearing that, Vincent backed away and squinted at her.

There was no light in the dim bedroom. Vincent was standing silent in the darkness, staring at her with his beast-like eyes.

Frightened, Elaine jumped out of bed and wanted to run.

Suddenly, she heard a sneer in her ear and the strong and powerful arms pulled her back and pressed her down on the bed.

"Let me go!" Elaine struggled violently.

She was naked right now. Although the room was dim, he could feel her wiggling under his body that he warned in a hoarse voice, "Don't move!"

Not knowing what he was thinking, she pushed him away with all her strength, trying to get away from him.

She was genuinely afraid.

Who on earth was this guy?

Why did he look so similar to Howard?

As Elaine tried to process this information with her messy mind, she was trembling in fear.

Staring at her for a long time, he didn't expect that she would doubt his identity.

He lifted her chin and rubbed her skin with his rough fingers. "If I'm not Howard, who am I?"

He asked her back.

In a daze, she looked back at him. His pitch-black eyes were as deep and unfathomable as a deep pool.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Only then did Vincent slowly get up and find her a set of clothes. "Put them on."

It was only then that she realized that she was naked. Ashamed, she quickly covered herself with the blanket, flushing timidly.

Seeing her swift movements, Vincent could not help but smile and turned around to go out.

Biting her lips, she quickly grabbed the clothes and putthem on immediately.

After that, she sat on the bed, slowly recalling what had happened in the past few days.

She suddenly realized that there were a lot of suspicious clues about "Dr. Perkins" in the past few days, but how could she miss all of them so foolishly?

She deserved to be cheated.

Curling herself into a ball, she started to feel uneasy as she finally realized that the man she was facing was not Howard.

No matter who he was or what his motives were, she couldn't stay here.

With this in mind, she got up, opened the window, and looked down.

From the looks of it, she was at the second floor, so she wondered if she would get hurt if she jumped down from here.

As she was thinking, the door of the bedroom was pushed open.
