Pampered by the Demon

“You have to stay with me. But you feel bitter about it, so when you met him who looks like your first love, you looked at him closely.”

Scarlett bit her lip in anger. ‘What the hell are you talking about?’

She was lost for words, but Mike mistook this as a symbol of guilt.

The mounting tension deprived the car of warmth.

He stopped talking. As he stepped on the accelerator, the car swooshed on the road.

“Where are you going to take me?” Scarlett found that the car made a sharp turn.

It led to another place rather than the hotel.

He did not answer and sped up. The car quickly turned into a road trail. The steep road did not slow him down, and instead, he drove faster.

Scarlett looked out of the window, her face pale with fright.

“Can you slow down?”

She felt they would crash and die.

With the car at this speed on the bumpy road, what was in her mind would come true if he made the slightest mistake!

Mike suddenly stepped on the brakes. The wheels scraped against the ground, giving out a screech.

Scarlett was patting her chest in shock.

“Get off,” he said coldly before she could relax.

“Okay.”

She touched the car door but withdrew her hand the next second. It had become Scarlett’s reflex to listen to follow his orders.

“Why do you want me to get off?”

“Shut up!”

Mike felt that part of him was a devil lurking inside and hooting again, and he was going to lose his temper.

‘You like someone else, no matter how hard I try, right?’ he wondered.

Even if they lived together, he couldn’t win her heart.

“Get off right now.” He just wanted to do something to distract his attention.

His sullen look scared her. She didn’t want to fan the flames, so she opened the car door and got off.

Then Scarlett stood alone in the dark, watching his car disappear into the darkness.

There were no street lamps along the trail, and the darkness filled her with fear.

It was freezing up in the mountain, and the wind gave her goosebumps.

Her thin clothes couldn’t keep her warm.

The surroundings were silent, and the dark trail was like a monster with its mouth snarling.

All this reminded Scarlett of the time when she had been locked in a warehouse because Wendy set her up.

It was also a cold and dark winter night.

At that time, she was locked in there for several hours, during which her mood went from fear to numbness.

And now, the man she had just fallen in love with left her behind just because she had mentioned Richard unintentionally.

The wind rustled the leaves on the roadside from time to time.

For the terrified woman, it was like a monster roaring.

Unable to calm her nerves, she took a few steps back and pressed her back against a mountain wall.

She sat down with her legs curled up and hugged her knees tightly, trying to drive away the fear.

Time passed.

Suddenly, a bird flew over her head and let out an unpleasant chirp. Scarlett was so frightened that she screamed.

She was afraid of the dark.

Mike didn’t come back after a long wait. She could only stand up and pick up a tree branch which brought her courage. In the dark, she moved forward slowly against the wall.

Tears rolled down her face.

She decided to stop loving after finding Mike. “Scum!” she cursed.

He was inhumane to leave her alone in this desolate place.

No matter what, he should have done that.

‘It is late at night. Aren’t you worried that something may happen to me?’

Scarlett was totally disappointed with Mike, gritting her teeth and wiping her tears.

She had to find that crazy man because she would not be able to get out of here with her feet.

After walking for a few minutes, she saw car lights!

It was Mike’s car parked by the mountain wall!

What a madman!

Scarlett finally saw the light and felt at ease. Then she was about to dash over.

Suddenly, she noticed the figure standing by the cliff, which surprised her so much that she almost cried out!

It was him!

On a one-meter-tall boulder by the road, Mike was sitting with his back to Scarlett. His long legs were on the verge and dangling in the air.

Beneath his feet was the bottomless cliff!

What terrified Scarlett the most was that half of the boulder was in the air, not that his posture was dangerous.

The angle of the boulder was just right. Scarlett felt that he would fall if he moved a bit!

She forgot about the hatred she had for Mike just now.

The car lights lit up his side face. He looked so lonely.

Just like that, he looked into the distance, his eyes blending in the night.

He was like a lonely king in the darkness, quietly guarding his borders.

This was not the first time Scarlett felt that Mike was lonely.

Mike was a noble genius, possessing a domineering power that no one else could have, yet his solitude, shown inadvertently and frequently, made her sentimental.

Even Scarlett found it unbelievable.

He had abandoned her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He had hurt her.

However, he was more like the victim than Scarlett.

This silent scene touched Scarlett and tears welled from her eyes again.

She used to have the same look as Mike when she was lonely.

That was what she had seen in the mirror in that dark warehouse.

Now she got Mike to some extent.

She made a sound. On hearing it, Mike looked back and saw her but turned to look into the distance again, without a word.

Scarlett had a hunch that if she retreated now, she might not have a second chance to know more about him.

“Can you come down?” Her tongue softened.

“Go away,” he said coldly.

As Scarlett looked down at the bottomless cliff, her legs started trembling.

Gritting her teeth, she overcame the fear of heights, climbed up the boulder, and came closer to him.

The moment she sat down, her waist went numb because she was frightened.

Despite that, she mustered her courage and held onto Mike’s hand.

She felt better, though his hand was cool. She was about to faint just now.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

She did not need to answer, because her hand trembled slightly, indicating her fear.

“Yes. I have no choice but to come up since you stay here.”

She hoped that this stone was strong enough to withstand their weight.

With her voice trembling, Scarlett was cowering against him, which miraculously calmed him down.

“Mike, can you be nice to me? It’s late at night, and we are in the middle of nowhere. What if a bad guy came at me after you left just now?”

She leaned her head on his shoulder and complained.

“I can’t change myself. If you can’t take it, go find Richard. He will not leave you behind.”

Mike tried to hold back his anger.
