淑女的欲望

After Rex\'s group car disappeared from view, Xander led Scarlett to his car.

"Baby, wait here for a moment. I need to talk to James first..." Xander helped her into the car. After ensuring she was correctly seated, he closed the car door and called James.

"James, clean up here! I want no trace of my wife coming to this place and secure all evidence of their bad deeds." Xander\'s sentence sounded cold as ice.

"I understand!!"

Xander massaged his temple momentarily before continuing his sentence, "... burn everything in here to ashes! These lowly gangsters should never be in this place!" He said and immediately walked to his car.

...

When Xander got into the car, he saw Scarlett\'s face looking drowsy. Several times she yawned while rubbing her eyes. It worries him.

"Babe, you can sleep..." Xander said as he made sure her seat belt was fastened. Then, he drove the car at an average speed.

A sleepy Scarlett suddenly remembered the car she had driven to this place — Her bag and Xander\'s cell phone was in the car.

She held Xander\'s arm, looking at him, "Xander, my car!?"

"Where did you park?" He asked while glancing at her.

Scarlett told him the location of the car she had hidden under a shady tree.

Soon they stopped near Scarlett\'s car. Xander didn\'t let her out of the car. He went out to get Scarlett\'s things and his cell phone. He also did not forget to ask someone to take care of the car.

A few minutes later, their car started moving again toward the city to return to the Beachfront Hotel.

During the trip, Scarlett felt her eyes get heavy, but her mind was still busy thinking about what happen tonight. She wanted to talk to Xander, but it seemed like Xander was deliberately ignoring her.

Then, something crossed her mind about what Rex had said to her, "Your enemy was approaching!"

Scarlett suddenly felt her pulse quicken. \'Who\'s after me? That man from underground?\' she wondered.

Knowing how prepared Rex was by bringing his elite team and Nine on this island, there was only one answer; the one who approached her must be someone from underground, right!?

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ She remembered she had used her ability twice since she arrived on this island.

\'Damn! Can they track me down here? No way, right? Their hacker wouldn\'t have tracked me down that fast!\' She felt her head was going to explode.

She secretly took a deep breath. What worries her the most is that if her location is known, she can\'t stay here for long, or she will bring trouble to her family and Xander.

\'NO! I can\'t make them know I\'m in a relationship with Xander!\'

Like an invisible hand squeezing her heart, it felt hurt to imagine her parting ways with Xander.  How could she leave him!?

Scarlett stole glances at Xander, trying to get as much air as needed to relieve her aching chest.

Now Scarlett understood what Rex had meant earlier; Now she is weak. She has a weakness. And her weakness is her husband, Xander Riley!

Scarlett was scared that anyone who wanted to hurt her would hurt Xander instead.

\'Indeed, Rex was right. But I love Xander. How could I run away from him just because my enemy knew my hiding place?\'

...

"Baby? Are you alright?"

Scarlett gasped when she heard Xander\'s words, which seemed to pull her out of her thoughts.

Looking at his blue eyes, she smiled, "Yeah, I\'m fine! I just feel sleepy..." she hurriedly shifted her gaze outside the car. Afraid that Xander will read her current emotions.

"You can sleep! We still have 30 minutes to arrive at the hotel!" said Xander. Looking at the exhausted Scarlett, he felt worried — it was now past 4 in the morning.

"Hmm..." Scarlett muttered as she closed her eyes.

Xander\'s face darkened after seeing Scarlett sleeping. He wasn\'t physically tired, but his mind seemed torn apart as he searched for her tracks a few hours ago.

An hour that feels like hell to him...

After watching the CCTV at the police station, he found out that Scarlett\'s car was following a white sedan. Still, the trail disappeared after the vehicle left the CCTV path.

At that moment, he seemed to have lost half of his life.

He gathers his team to find her trail. He finally found it after asking permission to use a military satellite to search the area around the mountain where Scarlett\'s car disappeared.

Luckily, he saw the movement of several cars entering that area. By luck, he got his men to follow the car\'s trail without him suspecting that the car belonged to Rex and his team.

He had always hated Rex for what he did in the past. But because of tonight, he was starting to consider forgiving him! At least Rex led him to find his wife.

"Are you still sleeping, babe!?" He asked her in a low tone. After a few seconds of no response and her not moving either, a smile appeared on his lips\' corner.

\'Sleep tight, baby! I\'m sorry, making you suffer!\' He muttered to himself while holding the steering wheel tighter; he couldn\'t hold back his anger at the Harris family.

\'I will make sure the Harris family gets their punishment and will never forgive their misdeed for harming you!\'

It wasn\'t long before their car arrived at the hotel.

Ever since he married Scarlett, Xander had never seen her this tired. Even when he carried her from the car to their suite, she didn\'t wake up one bit — she slept like a baby.

He couldn\'t bear to wake her up to bathe when the sun was about to rise. He put her on the soft bed and helped her remove her coat and shoes.

After ensuring she was comfortable, Xander covered her with the blanket and turned off the light. He didn\'t sleep with her, but he went into his office, in the next room.

He calls James to find out about progress on site.
