Aggressive Wife

Chapter 125

Noah was at Maple Forest Villa.

All he wanted to do was give Madeline a scare. Noah could get over it once Madeline admitted to her mistake and informed him of Colt’s whereabouts.

To his dismay, there was feebleness in Madeline’s tone, and her voice faded out in the end.

Noah panicked.

Thomas was snacking on junk food upstairs and fooling with the hacker game his dad installed for him. Out of the blue, he was picked up and stuffed into a car. The car zipped away.

Oh, exciting times.

“Daddy, where are we going now?”

“We’re going to your mother!”

…

Awakened by the chilling wind, Madeline slowly regained consciousness.

She could feel a pinch on her arm, prompting her to turn her head over. She found a man in black clothes and a black cap injecting something into her body.

The realization was enough for Madeline to snap out of her drowsy state. She tried to push him away, but it was then she noticed she was tied to a chair.

“Who are you? What are you doing?”

“Oh, you’re awake.” The man in black leisurely pushed the syringe to the end before getting up to look at Madeline. There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

“Are you the person who came after me on the mountain pass the other day?” Her mind flashed back to the scene at the hair-pinned road on that fateful day.

The person behind the wheel of a black sedan wore the same outfit.

“My, oh, my. You have a good memory.”

The answer made Madeline’s heart sink.

It never occurred to her that the man would escape unscathed from the car wreck. Not only that, but he also managed to locate her so soon.

Madeline took a look around to try and ascertain her location.

She was exposed to the harsh elements, and there was no structural building in sight. She could not see any hills or trees nearby. Madeline quickly concluded that she was probably on the roof of a building.

“What do you want? What did you inject into me?” The man’s motives were unclear to Madeline. He could have finished her off while she was out of it if it was her life that he was after.

Unless she was only a pawn. The man could have other plans for her.

“Don’t worry. I don’t want to kill you, at least not now. Although I don’t want to admit it, I just saved you.”

The man in black replied as he put away the syringe in his backpack. He then pulled a chair over and sat down next to Madeline.

“Save me? Don’t flatter yourself. Way to sugarcoat a kidnapping. Are you trying to appear cultured?” Madeline jumped down his throat.

“You’re ungrateful, aren’t you? I bet you have been falling ill a lot lately.”

Madeline was taken aback.

“Alright. Look at the camera. Let’s take a video.”

Grabbing his phone, the man tapped on the camera app and pulled Madeline into the camera view.

With Madeline looking shocked in the shot, the man tapped on pause.

“Don’t pull that long face. You won’t look pretty.”

Displeased with the video, the man in black deleted the video and wanted to redo the shot.

“How did you know I’ve been feeling ill a lot lately? Who are you?

“I have a different face now. How did you recognize me?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Madeline got over the shock and asked.

“There’s nothing in the world I don’t know about. As for your face… Ha. That little stunt doesn’t fool me.” The man let out a confident smile before turning away to try and get a good camera angle.

Madeline looked at the man with questions running through her head.

She felt a lot more relaxed after the man injected the drug into her. The compression on her chest was slowly dissipating.

It did not seem like poison, but why did the man know much about her?

While Madeline fell deep into thought, the terror began to seep in.

“Are you one of Lone Wolf’s men?”

“I guess you can say that.” The man in black was straight with his answer. It appeared he had no plans of hiding his identity.

“Come on, pretty lady. We should get the show on the road and finish the video. That way, I can threaten Noah with your life.”

“Are you trying to use me in exchange for Lone Fox?” Madeline probingly asked.

She could not think of another reason why Lone Wolf’s men had not killed her yet despite being in their hands.

Madeline was high on Lone Wolf’s hit list after all.

“Hahaha! You got that right! I have to say, you got brains. No wonder you have Noah’s heart.”

Laughing rather insanely, the man in black swiftly circled Madeline like a shark. His quick reflexes drew horror in Madeline.

Madeline had her suspicions that the man might not be a normal human.

Maybe Lone Wolf had found a way to unlock human potential and push the body to the limit.

With a burst of chilling laughter echoing in the dark of the night, Madeline stayed on high alert as the man was light on his feet. Her heartbeat raced.

“Alright now. The video is done. Do you want to watch it? I can make a new video if you’re not happy with it.”

The abrupt end of the chuckle did not ease Madeline one bit.

The man in black stuck the phone up her face. His pale finger tapped on the “play” button.

The phone played a scene where Madeline was tied to a chair. She was looking around every now and then with horror in her eyes.

A dark silhouette hung around her surroundings. It was not easy to make out that it was a person, let alone get a good look at the face.

The man managed to make a horror film out of the thirty-second video.

Nevertheless, Madeline was no longer nervous after the whole stunt.

The way she saw it, the man in black was a psychotic nut with a love for art.

Psychos never played by the rules. For all she knew, he could throw her off the roof.

Madeline needed to find her way out of this!

“Yeah, not bad, but maybe you should quit videography,” Madeline heartlessly blurted. The man was not happy with the remark.

“Why? Isn’t it good? Did I make you look ugly in there? In that case, why don’t you smile? I’ll make another version.”

The man in black watched the video and glanced at Madeline before coming up with a verdict.

“Hey, you’re a strange man. How am I supposed to smile when you have me tied up?” Madeline peevishly commented on purpose.

She then hung back against the chair without a care for her appearance.

“You have a point. I’ll untie you, but you better not run. Otherwise, I’ll be angry when I catch you.”

“Relax. I won’t run away, but you better make me look pretty, or I’ll be mad.”

It was only a casual suggestion to get a feeler of the guy’s craziness. She could not believe that he obliged rather quickly.

“No problem!” The man in black readily agreed.

He then loosened the rope around Madeline and gave her “freedom”.

It felt surreal to Madeline. She ran her fingers along the inner layer of her clothes to make sure her devices were still intact before changing positions to find a good angle for the man. She walked to the edge of the roof.

“Alright. I’ll start the video now. Keep that smile going…”

The man in black held his phone up at Madeline and gave her pointers to start the shoot.

Madeline seized the chance to turn around and make a run for it. She leaped and jumped off the roof.
