The CEO's Wife Has A Secret

When Xi Ana opened her eyes, the unfamiliarity of the room immediately kicked in. She glanced around and saw that it was spacious and elegant while doing so, she didn't notice the man who entered the room.

"You're awake. You sure slept like a baby."

She get up and leaned on the backrest because of the slight dizziness that she feels, "With a drug as strong as that anyone would have slept for a few hours."

"Exactly. That drug was powerful enough to put someone to sleep for at least eight hours but you only slept for like four hours!" he pulled a chair and sat on it while continuously shrugging his head as if something unbelievable just happened.

Xi Ana chose to ignore him and raised her hand, "What was this cuffs for?"

Both her hands has a metal band encircling her wrist, she tried to remove it a while ago but she's too weak and can't seem to summon her energy.

The two cuffs weren't connected with a chain so it's not the type that policemen use but they look like a key is needed to for them to be removed and there is a blinking red light beside the small keyholes.

If this is what she think it is then she sure is in a tight spot.

"Oh, that's a little bit more dangerous than your usual handcuffs, once you forcefully removed it without using its designated key it will explode likewise if you tried to escape this place, we will detonate the bomb inside it."

"The way you explain it its as if you're only teaching me how to use a vacuum cleaner."

The man chuckled. This woman is surprisingly humorous that she can even think of vacuum cleaner at a time like this."This is easier to understand though, don't you think? And you can move around without being restricted."

Xi Ana wanted to roll her eyes on that, if this is not being restricted then what the hell is this?

"Well, you're right. It is indeed easier to understand."

Surely, with the cuffs size the bomb will also be small in size but then since it is attached closely to her, once its detonated her hands will no longer be attached to her body then.

Seing Xi Ana's calm demeanor the man can't help but say something about it. "You look awfully calm that you're starting to scare me."

"What's the point in being scared anyway? Will it help me escape this predicament?"

"Where's your confidence coming? Is it because you know you'll be saved or because you know you will not be killed?"

"What's you name? I find it very rude of me to be talking to you for quite some time now and I still don't know your name." This is not her inquiring ny information it was really just becaue she felt uncomfortable.

"Alex."

"Okay."

She looked straight into his eyes and spoke her mind, "It's not that I'm confident that I'll be saved nor am I sure that you will not kill me. It's just that I'm not afraid of dying."

It's true, it's not arrogance t is her genuine thought on her situation. She'd seen worse and experienced worst. Isn't being afraid really late by now? If she dies now, there is only one regret that she could think of.

"You're connected to him right?" Xi Ana asked rather vaguely.

"By 'him', who do you mean."

"Although I myself do not know, I know you do."

"You can tell."

"Of course."

The realization came instantly, that's why she went without too much resistance, not only because of her attitude but because of the chance of meeting 'him'. Alex laughed, she really is courageous.

"Unfortunately babe, you're not seeing him today because there is someone else who wanted to talk to you today and might happily use you as a bargaining chip, a naive move I might say."

Base from his words it is evident that the person who had her kidnapped now is not the person who'd been torturing her but an entirely different person and this Alex is someone working for 'him'.

If so then why would he help someone else when they can take her out completely? Do they need a perfect excuse for her death? Or do they have another purpose for bringing her here?

"Why would I be used as a bargaining chip?"

"You are a friend of Fang Wenna and Li Jingli, the moment they came back six years ago they took over City M completely after all they are both from this country's Nine Noble Families who would dare offend them?"

Six years ago all of them came back to this country after wandering for eight years. Being in same city, Li Jingli and Fang Wenna obviously came in contact with each other. This is not well known to all people but some of them knows a thing a two behind the curtains.

Fang Wenna left three years ago for the second time and who knows what she had done, even them weren't able to locate her but during the year that she left something big happened that shook the whole city.

"Back then, Fang Wenna's personal subordinates followed no one's order but Li Jingli's. She holds more people than her own family. But then, a few months ago Fang Wenna organized a charity event in City A, and what's more she is seated on the same table with Li Jingli, Xi Ana, and Lim Yi Sheng."

"And that is why it's a naive move."

"That's right, if it wasn't me who kidnapped you today I don't think they can even get you nor touch even a single strand of your hair."

"Then what's your deal with helping them?"

"We were paid handsomely, isn't that reason good enough?"

"From the looks of it it doesn't seem like you're short on money. Tell me, what other reasons do you have for doing this?"

"You're really sharp. Actually the best reason why I wanted this job was to know you better."

"To know me better? Why?"

"Because from the moment I can remember he's always been watching you, I want to know what's so special about you that all these years he can't seem to let you go."

"If that's what you wanted to know then I'm also in the dark, I myself wanted to know why he's doing this to me. If he wanted to kill me, he should have done it before. Why does he need to torture me like this?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/pictures_50023482838281133">#&apos;s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/pictures_50023482838281133</a> for visiting.

Alex knew everything, because he'd seen how he made her suffer but in his heart he was full of jealousy towards her, because Xi Ana could receive all his attention without knowing anything, torturing? For him, as long he didn't kill her he felt that this woman's existence is far more important than his. Twisted? Maybe he really is.

"Sometimes I wished I was you, at least then my father would spare me some time and watch me grow."

Father?

He threw an envelope towards her and answered the question that has not yet even raised.
