Chapter 43: Chapter 043: She Won’t Run Away Once She Bears a Child

One wrong move in the game of chess led to a total mess, and Sienna Johnson lost miserably.

She closed her eyes, her heart feeling as if it were being sliced by a knife, filled with an indescribable sorrow and despair. No matter what she said, Adrian Desmond would never believe her again. Sienna thought of the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"—the boy who lied about the wolf coming time and time again, until nobody believed him when the wolf actually came.

Xavier Young listened with great pleasure, his face radiant. Standing at the door, he said, "Sixth Master, let me kill this woman so you won’t have to dirty your hands!" Xavier stared at Sienna’s eyes, his own filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

Kiki cried loudly, knelt on the ground, and begged, "Sixth Master, please spare Mai; she didn’t mean to deceive you. She knows she was wrong. Please give her another chance! Sixth Master, I beg you..."

"Shut up! You’re no goodie-two-shoes either! If you don’t want to die, scram!" Xavier cursed.

Kiki, her eyes red, glared at Xavier and retorted, no longer the timid girl she once was, "Who do you think you are? Mai is the Sixth Master’s woman. How she’s dealt with is the Sixth Master’s business. You get lost!"

"You!... Vile woman, do you think I won’t beat you?" Xavier raised his fist.

Kiki fearlessly tilted her chin up and said, "You’re such a loser. All you can do is bully women. What else are you good for?"

"You..." Xavier wasn’t a bad person; he’d never even laid a hand on a woman. Yet, Selena Robertson had just called him useless, saying he only knew how to bully women.

"Sixth Master, please spare Mai! There will be... more children in the future..."

But all pleading was in vain.

Sienna looked at Kiki, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Kiki, get up. There’s no use begging him!"

"No!" Kiki was stubborn. She knew Adrian Desmond controlled Sienna’s fate; only by begging him could Sienna be safe.

Seeing Adrian Desmond unmoved, Kiki, mustering her courage, crawled over on her knees and hugged his leg, only to be kicked away by the cold-hearted man.

Sienna Johnson was shocked to see Kiki kicked away, flying until she hit the wall. Kiki fell heavily and spat out a mouthful of blood. Sienna could no longer maintain her composure. "Kiki!"

"You’re bleeding..." Sienna wiped the blood from the corner of Kiki’s mouth, looking at her pale face. Adrian Desmond’s kick had been brutal; Sienna genuinely worried it had shattered Kiki’s internal organs. If her organs ruptured, it would be critical.

"Where’s Dr. Hyder? Let Dr. Hyder in!" Sienna shouted towards the door.

Without Adrian Desmond’s permission, Dr. Hyder dared not enter. Sienna looked at Adrian Desmond and said, "Adrian, let’s not drag others into our issues. Please let Dr. Hyder in to check on Kiki; she’s vomiting blood..."

Adrian Desmond simply didn’t care about Selena Robertson’s life or death. He walked over, grabbed Sienna’s arm, and dragged her outside.

The boat had reached the shore. Sienna was dragged across the deck by Adrian Desmond, onto the dock. They walked along the long dock and stepped onto the island.

After half a month of twists and turns, she hadn’t escaped. She was back on this island. As soon as she stepped ashore, Sienna was surrounded and scrutinized. Everyone looked at her as though they wanted to skin her alive. Adrian Desmond was tall with long legs, taking big strides. Sienna stumbled after him, falling several times, only to be roughly yanked back up by him, utterly uncaring of her.

She dared not even imagine how this enraged man would punish her.

Entering the Castle, Shaw Charles took a hard drag from his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out forcefully.

"Hmph, this woman deserves a beating. After six months, she still dares to run? If you don’t beat her this time, Sixth Master, I will! Beat her until she never forgets the pain. I doubt she’ll dare run again," Shaw Charles’s tone was harsh, and Sienna shivered all over when she heard him.

Half of the people there nodded in agreement, while Adrian Desmond remained silent, his face stern.

Xavier Young caught up, his voice filled with resentment. "Sixth Master, I think this woman is nothing but trouble. Ever since she arrived, there’s been nothing but problems. Why don’t you just sell her and let us find you some beautiful women to serve you!"

Adrian Desmond was outraged, bellowing, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Walter Klein restrained everyone from speaking further. "Alright, stop arguing. It’s already dawn. Everyone go rest. Sixth Master, let’s discuss things tomorrow."

Everyone who followed Adrian Desmond was a skilled individual, yet over fifteen of them had been entranced by Sienna; this was an embarrassment to these normally proud men. Therefore, they all wanted to see the Sixth Master torture Sienna and, in doing so, vent their own frustration.

Before Shaw Charles left, he said to the Sixth Master, "Sixth Master, you should hurry up and have a child. Once a woman has a child and becomes a mother, she won’t run away."

Everyone else left, but Xavier Young still refused to go. Looking at the disheveled woman kneeling on the ground, he asked the Sixth Master, "Sixth Master, will you do it yourself, or shall I assist you?"

"All of you, get out!"

Adrian Desmond lifted Sienna, threw her into his room, locked the door from the inside, and then slowly walked towards her.

Sienna looked at him in horror, her hands instinctively flying to cover her head. "What are you going to do?"

"What do I want to do? What have *you* done, woman?" Adrian Desmond’s voice grew louder as he grabbed her and shook her violently. "Why did you run? Why did you run? Why did you deceive me? Haven’t I treated you well enough these past six months?"

With no outsiders present, Adrian Desmond finally vented his fury!

Sienna felt dizzy from the shaking and couldn’t help but retort, "Why wouldn’t I run? This isn’t my home. I’m being held captive here by you. You’ve been good to me? How have you been good to me? You’re a rapist!"

Her period had started, her arm was injured, and she had been dragged all the way by him, her knees scraped raw and bleeding. Sienna ached all over, and her lower abdomen throbbed with a dull, anxious pain. He was furious, and she felt utterly wretched too.

"Adrian Desmond, you keep saying you like me? In what way do you like me? If you liked me, you wouldn’t keep me from going home! You wouldn’t force me to do... those things! I ran away, yes, and I deceived you, but you forced me into all of this!"

"Rapist?!"

Adrian Desmond was stung by Sienna’s accusation. He abruptly loosened his grip, and Sienna slumped back to the ground.

"So, that’s the image you have of me?!"

Adrian Desmond stared at her fiercely and said softly, "They’re right. You’re just an ungrateful, untamable wolf."

Adrian Desmond stepped over Sienna, pulled out a metal bar as thick as a child’s arm from under the bed, and raised it as if to strike her. Sienna screamed, covered her head, curled into a ball, and trembled violently.

"So you’re afraid of pain too?"
