Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Mind break (2)
When Master Roman heard her words, he laughed. His laughter was cold and eerie, as it ricocheted in the dark alley Mrs Harlow felt her heartbeat falling into a frenzy.

He turned to one side while hugging his strong waist. His shoulders moved up and down as he laughed loudly and violently.

But then the laughter came to a sudden stop.

“Hah!” Master Roman barked as he clapped his hands and his feet moved to the left. He faced Mrs Harlow and questioned, “And it matters to me because?”

“Marcia, you know what I want is the body of that girl,” said Master Roman, he took a step towards Mrs. Harlow and came to a stop in front of her. “I want her to rely on me without a question, undoubtedly like I am her God and her saviour.”

“Except that I want nothing from her. Neither her heart nor soul. So what’s wrong with destroying the things that I don’t need?”

His lips curled up making his mask look even more grotesque and Master Roman remarked, “I purchased her from you, Marcia, and you sold her to me. As her buyer, don’t you think that I am entitled to make some customization to my purchase?”

‘He treats a human as an object?’ Mrs. Harlow knew that the man was crazy, but she didn’t know that he was this psychotic.

Just because he wanted Ariana to be completely broken, he wanted her to feed Ariana a mind-breaking drug.

It wasn’t like Mrs Harlow hadn’t already taken into consideration that there would be a possibility for this man to be unhinged. But now that she was certain, she was stupefied.

In her attempts to become rich, Mrs Harlow seemed to have courted a grim reaper.

“Don’t think about backing out now, Marcia,” stated Master Harlow with a cold voice as he noticed the little flickering of her eyes. “You are way beyond the path of redemption, where you can turn back on your decisions.”

“Unless you want your daughters to suffer, you will do as I say because if you don’t,” he leaned down and sneered at her face, “Tonight your daughter is accompanying an investor to drinks but if you dare to betray me, then I will make it so that she will be accompanying him to bed.”

All the blood drained from Mrs Harlow’s face. She opened her mouth but closed it a second later. With a stiff nod, she agreed with what the man said, “I understand, Master Roman. I will make sure that she drinks this drug regardless of what.”

‘Do not blame me, Ariana,’ she thought while trying to clear off the guilt in her heart. ‘This is your fate, if not for the fact that you were what this man wanted, would you be in trouble like this? Then you can only blame yourself for having such a rotten destiny.’

“Perfect, darling,” Master Roman caressed Mrs Harlow’s hair like she was a cat. “I will be waiting for the good news then, do not let me down.” He patted Mrs Harlow on the cheeks and then let his hand drop to his side.

With that, he turned on his feet and walked out of the alley, leaving Mrs Harlow slumped on the floor of the alley.

The woman kneeling in the alley stared at the small vial in her hands. She was holding it in her fingers as if it were her life-saving medicine.

Though she was a bit nervous about turning a good woman into a fool when she thought about how the person who would suffer would be Ariel, the hesitation in her heart swiftly vanished.

“I am not doing anything wrong,” muttered Mrs Harlow with a ruthless expression on her face. “I am only trying to survive and take care of my family.”

Master Roman who hadn’t gone far heard her words and his lips curled in a sneer.

Those who were selfish, poor and unskilled would do anything to make themselves look like a victim as if it were the world that owed them. And Mrs Harlow, who had all three qualities, would blame everyone but herself.

A woman like her was the easiest to manipulate.

“Master, is it alright to leave that girl in this city? Isn’t it better to bring her to your side as soon as possible?” The man following Master Roman questioned, as he matched his boss’s pace and stayed behind his boss only by a step.

Master Roman turned to look at the man and stated in a cold voice, “Have you ever seen a wild cat, Jordan?”

“I have seen many,” answered the man with a frown. “But what does that have to do with this situation, boss?”

The man’s question brought a smile to Master Roman’s lips. He turned to look at the sky over their heads before bringing his head down.

“Have you ever tried to bring a wild cat back with you?” Master Roman questioned Jordan who shook his head. “I have. There was a time when I brought a wild cat home, and she bit and scratched me. She was a fucking fighter, left me bloodied before escaping from the house that I had made for her.”

“She would rather live on the streets as she loved her freedom instead of staying with me,” Master Roman turned to look at Jordan and remarked casually, “I have no patience to deal with a wild cat that would leave me battered and bruised, Jordan.”

“I would rather have a stuffed one that would stay where she is supposed to stay,” Master Roman finished his explanation. “And if I bring her to Clover City now, it will set a few things in motion that I don’t want at now. At least not until Ariana is in my bed and my arms.”

Jordan glanced at the man who seemed calm and relaxed. He could not understand the fascination his boss had with that woman when he could have anyone.

Some said that it was because of his dead lover, but Jordan was certain that the matter went deeper than that.

“Tonight is gorgeous isn’t it, Jordan?” Master Roman remarked with a light chuckle as the sound of gunshots echoed in the background.
