Reborn Before The Divorce

“Nydia, when you were feeling sorry for those who were hurt, did you ever feel sorry for me?” Fernand was smiling, but his smile looked sad.

“It’s okay if you didn’t feel sorry for me, I wasn’t worth feeling sorry for in the first place, so did you feel sorry for yourself when they were screaming to send you to me?”

Nydia was dumbfounded by the two sentences, only feeling a sourness in her chest, not knowing how to describe it in such a way.

He was clearly evil, but now he was acting like an aggrieved child.

His irrationality, his capriciousness all seemed to be just drawing attention to him, trying to make others feel sorry for him.

And since no one was going to feel sorry for him, he was going to wreak havoc.

Fernand picks up his glass and drains it of red wine.

Nydia didn’t know what to say, originally she was carrying a grudge and had a belly full of anger, but now she couldn’t say anything but stay silent.

“I remember you can draw comics, why don’t you draw my story as well, I can’t draw a long story, just draw a shorter comic.”

“Good.” For these simple requests, Nydia had no reason to refuse.

After dinner, Fernand didn’t waste any time and directly let Nydia start drawing.

“You draw my version of the comic first, I’ll see if I’m satisfied.”

“What kind do you want? That is, what do you want yourself to add or subtract from your comic book character?”

Fernand thought for a moment, “Add a pair of gold rimmed glasses, draw that svelte scum feeling.”

Nydia froze for a moment, thinking, that’s a pretty clear position on herself.

She began to draw as he wanted, starting with a brief sketch that Fernand found okay.

“I don’t have the tools for coloring, or a drawing pad.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“That’s okay, I have them all for you.”

Fernand led Nydia to a room that was instantly recognizable as a drawing room, complete with tools.

“It’s specially prepared for you, so you can familiarize yourself with it.”

Nydia froze and gave Fernand a somewhat surprised look, specially prepared for her?

This meant that he had been planning this since he lived in this villa? In his mind, he would definitely capture her, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

Despite feeling terrible, she could only suppress these emotions and familiarize herself with this drawing room first.

The things were all big names, looked great and felt good to use.

She perfected the sketch she had just made, colored it, and adjusted the whole thing to show Fernand.

“I like it, let’s do it today, tomorrow I’ll tell you the plot and you draw it.”

“In that case, you can just get someone else to draw it, why do you need me to draw it?”

“I like your drawing style, and I think you’re the one who can draw the feeling I want.” Fernand said with a smile.

Nydia didn’t say anything else.

“You’re sleeping with me tonight.”

“I don’t want to!” She refused immediately.

Fernand looked at her steadily and didn’t say anything, only his eyes became a little bit cooler.

The smile on his face also disappeared.

“If you were given a choice, die now or sleep with me, what would you choose?”

Nydia also cooled down her face, “You know very well what I would choose.”

“Don’t you think it’s not cost effective? Is chastity that important?” Fernand snorted.

“It’s not about that, it’s about compromise, I’ll compromise with you once and then I’ll do it again, this time it’s a choice between life and true chastity, what about the next time? There are only zero and countless times for some things, aren’t there?”

The smile returned to Fernand’s face.

“You’re right.”

“What I meant when I asked you to sleep with me was to sleep in the same room as me, and as for whether you want to sleep on the couch or on the floor is up to you, the bed is definitely mine anyway.”

“…”

Despite being speechless, Nydia was thankful or she might not have survived the night.

She entered the room with Fernand, who had another trick up his sleeve and locked chains around both her and his wrists, the chains were about three meters apart, meaning she could move around the room, but it would be difficult to get out.

“If you want to go to the bathroom wake me up and I’ll unchain you.”

“Thank you for being so understanding!” Nydia practically gritted her teeth as she uttered those words.

“You’re welcome!”

With the lights off, Nydia lay on the couch and Fernand on the bed.

Her cell phone was not confiscated, so she and Jesse debriefed the place.

“Why didn’t you confiscate my cell phone?” Nydia asked.

“There’s no point.”

“Huh?”

“I hope I get a good night’s sleep tonight and you stop talking, good night.”

Fernand then stopped talking and Nydia didn’t dare to speak or play with her cell phone, after all, Fernand was a temperamental man.

Without realizing it, Nydia fell asleep too.

She was woken up by the morning sunlight and opened her eyes to see Fernand standing by the window with the curtains drawn.

Wondering why the sound of the chains hadn’t woken her up, she looked closer and realized that Fernand no longer had the chains on his wrists, so it was no wonder they hadn’t made a sound.

She drove the sound of the chains as she got up and Fernand looked back.

“Good morning, I slept well last night.”

“You really are my sleeping pill.”

“Such a clichéd saying doesn’t quite suit you, does it?” Nydia thought it was outrageous, it was understandable that she was Jesse’s sleeping pill, how could she still be Fernand’s sleeping pill, when people were walking aphrodisiacs and she was a sleeping pill?

It always sounded a little strange.

“I’m just being honest, you should understand how I was in the beginning.”

“You should go find your own real sleeping pill.” Instead of looking for her, wasn’t that a cocoon?

“Is it that easy?” Fernand asked rhetorically.

Nydia didn’t say another word.

Fernand told her to go wash up and then go to breakfast together.

The few days she was here with Fernand, her life was very simple, basically spending time with Fernand, eating with him, drawing comics for him, and living a more laid back life, a situation Jesse was aware of as well.

But the more this goes on, the more worried everyone gets, because it leaves everyone scratching their heads, wondering what Fernand is up to, maybe he’s got something bigger in the works, and now he’s just stalling for time.

And now all they can do is to find out the big list, with the list now they can go to the people, and catch those people out there in order to really save Nydia and catch Fernand, otherwise Fernand can always use the people as a bargaining chip to threaten.

“I’ve gotten a list before, but it’s not very complete and needs a little more work.” Jesse said.

He already knew that there were several entrepreneurs and executives who were part of Alex’s team at the beginning, nowadays these people didn’t want to listen to Fernand, and naturally they were willing to hand over the list when Jesse offered a good enough deal, except that the list was all broken and it would take several people to come together to make up the list.

Fernand’s actions have caused a lot of discontent, and in the opinion of some successful people, there is no need to do this, when Alex was trying to create a business empire of their own, and now Fernand is a complete saboteur.
