There was quite a distance from the door to the inain gate. Both sides of the pathway were covered
with plants of different heights. Many of the lamps were blocked, causing the pathway unusually dark
There was no one on the pathway at the moment and the chilly night breeze whirred in the air, making
it extremely eerie to look at or to be on it.
Sylvia tightened her jacket and held her breath as she strode along the eerie pathway.
Just a few steps later, a long arm reached out to her from the dark and grabbed her arm. Sylvia was
shocked but before she could scream, she was dragged into a familiar embrace. The man’s strong and
hurried breathing came from above her head.
Sylvia looked up and saw a handsome but frosty face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man stared at her with a sharp gaze.
Sylvia blinked twice before she tried to break free from the man’s embrace but his long arm constricted
her waist tightly, preventing her from breaking free. She shouted, “Odell, let go of me!” The man
tightened his hug and pressed her against his chest Sylvia was forced to tiptoe. Her entire body was
already leaning on him. She glared at him and shouted, “odell, stop this immediately! We’ve already
divorced!”
“Is that why you go after another man?” His gruff voice sounded terrifying.
Sylvia argued, “I didn’t! I just had a dance with Thomas, that’s it! The spotlight chose us. We can’t just
decline and ruin the game rules, can we? It’s disrespectful to the Springsteen family!” He pinched her
face and bellowed, “Even so, you can’t dance with him!” Sylvia’s gaze shrunk but she regained her
composure and argued, “You danced with Ms. Springsteen as well!” “There’s nothing between us!”
“Well, there’s nothing between me and Thomas as well!”
He frowned as she refused to back away. They confronted each other for a few seconds before he
asked, “Then why are you two together?”
“I came here with President Dendro and the people from the Art Association! Thomas was invited by
Ms. Springsteen and we just happened to run into each other! He and I are working in the Art
Academy! We’re close, but we’re not what you think!” A quick thought later, she further explained,
“Odell, he’s your brother. Even if I longed for a inan’s Touch, I’d sleep with any man but lim!”
He stared at her blushing face and narrowed his eyes. “Is that so!” “I don’t care if you believe me or
not.” Sylvia already explained herself clearly and she refused to further tangle with the man. She
pushed him and shouted, “Let go of me! I want to go home!” He pursed his lips in silence and stared at
her. She furrowed her brows and continued, “Did you hear me? Let go of me!” He continued to stare at

I’ll scream!” They might be quite far away from the hall but as long as she screamed her lungs out,
someone would be able to hear her cry for help. Odell curled his lips as if he did not believe she would
scream for help. Sylvia was frustrated but she decided to approach this matter with patience. She said,
“Odell, I’m not one of your upper social circle people, and I’m not afraid of embarrassing myself. “You,
on the other hand, if others see you harassing a woman in someone else’s front yard, what would they
think of you?” Odell chuckled at her strange confidence. “Do you think I care about what others think of
me?” She was his ex-wife and even if they were already divorced, she was not allowed to see other
men. She must only be his woman and if anyone had anything to say about him harassing her, he
would rip their mouths off their faces.
Sylvia choked and flushed.
She widened her eyes and stared at him for around ten seconds before she took a deep breath and
screamed, “HELP-”
Before she could utter the word “me”, her lips were sealed.
