My Domineering CEO Husband

There were only the sounds of the wind and Lottie’s even breathing.

“Click…”

A notification for a low-battery warning was coming from the phone.

Lottie was stunned. She turned off the flashlight and wanted to call Connie with the little battery left on her phone.

But as soon as the number was dialed out, the screen of the mobile phone went black.

The phone was out of power.

The endless darkness came upon her.

Lottie was helpless and frightened.

The surrounding was totally silent and dark. It was like a huge beast that had opened its big mouth and tried to devour her!

She was afraid of the darkness.

Lottie looked at the moonlight outside the window hopelessly and began to cry for help like a crazy person.

“Anybody there?”

“Come here, please!”

“Is anyone here?”

She pounded hard on the locked door, trying to make more noise.

Until her hands hurt, her voice became hoarse, but still, no one came.

In the end, Lottie leaned against the door in despair.

The wound on her shoulder started to hurt again.

Before this, Luke pinched her shoulder with too much strength, she could even feel that her wound had been torn by Luke with his fingers.

She didn’t feel pain just after she woke up, because her fear of the darkness was greater than the pain on her shoulder.

Now she calmed down and she could feel the unbearable pain on her shoulder.

She closed her eyes.

She remembered things that happened five years ago.

…

She was stiff and didn’t dare to move nor breathe. She felt like the past would just come up when she breathed and made her breathless.

Tears began to fall quietly. She grasped her hair tightly with her fingers and was trying to wake herself up with the pain.

But everything was useless…

After some time had passed.

“Bang!” Suddenly, the locked door was kicked open.

As the door opened, everything around her lit up in an instant.

Lottie quickly raised her head.

Ralph stood by the door. He was dressed in an army-green windbreaker.

His figure was tall and he was standing up straight.

The lights in the corridor shone all over him.

She looked at him as he walked step by step towards her. She felt something hitting her heart hard.

At that moment, she felt that he was the only light for her in the darkness.

He was the light that could dispel all the darkness and nightmares hunting her.

“Lottie.”

He came up to her and called her name in a low voice.

She immediately felt like crying.

Almost instinctively, she opened her arms and rushed directly into his arms, “Ralph…”

Her arms held him tightly and he could feel her fear from her shaking body.

Ralph looked down at her, “It’s all okay now.”

His comforting words made Lottie’s tears surge like water damp.

Her tears soaked his windbreaker wet and moistened his chest. “Thank god! You are here…”

“I thought I was going to die!”

“You won’t.”

Ralph carried her into his arms and said, “Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

Lottie nodded obediently. Her small hands grasped his shirt tightly, and her body was shivering non-stop.

Ralph held her and strode out of the room.

Outside of the room, the boss of the Filming Town, the person in charge of the Filming Town, and all the management staff of the Filming Town stood in two rows at the door with respect.

When they saw Ralph come out of the room with a woman in his arms, everyone lowered their heads and held their breath. They didn’t even dare to breathe.

Until Ralph held Lottie and reached the car, the boss of the Filming Town, Brodie Parry, finally gathered up the courage to come up to Ralph, “Mr. Chapman, this is really just an accident.”

“Usually this kind of accident will not happen…”

Ralph raised his head and his eyes looked so indifferent. His voice also sounded faint, “Usually this accident won’t happen, so … a gift for me?”

Ralph’s voice was indifferent and cold, but it also sounded firm and strict, which made Brodie’s heart tremble with fear!

He shook his head. His voice trembled, “It’s an accident. I’ll investigate this matter…”

“One day for you to make it clear.”

After Sean opened the car door, Ralph gently put Lottie who was in his arms on the back seat of the car, “If you can’t find the person who did this, I’ll take it as if you purposely go against me.”

After he said that, he got in the car gracefully. The black Maserati left.

Brodie stood there in a grovel until the car was completely out of sight. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, “Investigate it now! Make it clear by tonight!”

Someone by his side came over cautiously, “Should we check who the woman was just now and what’s the relationship between her and Ralph as well?”

Brodie looked at him coldly and said, “You think you’ve lived long enough, do you? How dare you investigate Mr. Ralph’s woman?”

The man left in dismay.

But…

Brodie grinned slightly. Since Ralph’s lover was in his Filming Town, he surely would be able to prosper with Mr. Ralph’s support, sooner or later!

…

The Maserati was accelerating down the empty street in the middle of the night.

Lottie laid in Ralph’s arms and had already fallen asleep.

Lottie’s fair and small hands held Ralph’s windbreaker so tight that the fabric at the front of the windbreaker became wrinkly.

Even though she was sleeping, her small hands still held his shirt tightly, and would not let go.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Ralph raised his hand and tucked her hair behind her ears.

Her facial features were small and delicate. When she was asleep, her long and curly eyelashes quiver gently on her face like butterflies.

“Don’t touch me!”

“No, please don’t…”

It seemed that she had a terrible nightmare. She grabbed his shirt even tighter. Her face was full of pain.

Ralph frowned and held her arm tightly.

“It should be that she’s afraid of the darkness.”

After undergoing a series of examinations towards Lottie, Edward sighed, “The reason why she’s showing symptoms like trembling, incoherence, and having nightmares should be her subconscious reaction when she’s in the darkness.”

After he finished saying, he glanced at Ralph, “What incident has she experienced before that stimulates her emotion like this?”

Ralph shook his head, “I don’t know.”

Everything about her that he knew was limited to the information provided by the Green family.

Today, when Kayden asked him about the dark past she had, he even didn’t know anything about it.

Now, when Edward asked him what incident could possibly be bad enough to stimulate her emotion like this, he still didn’t know anything.

In the past, he only thought that she was a simple girl just as plain as a piece of paper, but now, he found that he didn’t seem to know her past at all.

This kind of feeling made him a little frustrated, “What kind of stimulation can make her become like this?”

Edward was silent for a moment, “Are you sure you want me to say it?”

Ralph gave him a cold glance, cold enough to kill somebody.

“It’s you who ask me to say it.”

Edward cleared his throat, “Actually, this kind of reaction is not consistent.”

“Your problem with that kind of thing was even affected by the death of that woman. She may also have had something bad happen in the darkness, which made her fear the darkness.”

In the study room, it was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.

Ralph, who was sitting at the master’s seat, was cold, “I repeat once again. I have no problem with that kind of thing.”

“Hmph, liar!”

As soon as Ralph finished his words, the door of the study room was pushed open.

Fabian stood at the door with his hands holding the side of his waist, “If you have no problem, just let Lottie give birth to a sister for me!”

Edward was speechless.

What a brave boy Fabian was!

Ralph took out the phone and called his father, “Your good grandson, Fabian, will accompany you to play chess for the whole day tomorrow.”

Fabian was stunned.

“Daddy, you are despicable!”
