Chapter 36 His Possessive Nature In that short minute , countless images flashed through her mind . The times Lewis ignored her , his coldness and indifference toward her , as well as the times he worried about her and smiled at her while patting her head . As someone who didn't love her , his coldness and indifference were expected . But it was exactly for that reason that she steadied her hand . Her hand holding the pen firmly , she put down her signature , penning every stroke that spelled out her name . It was time she let him go and released him to the person he loved . It was also time she set herself free , letting go of her desires and her secret love . She only managed to sign her first name , when her pen suddenly slid off , leaving a long line on the divorce agreement . The next thing she knew , the divorce agreement was in Lewis ' hands . " Time's up , " he said . Josephine was taken aback and watched as he carelessly ripped the agreement in half , before throwing it into the trash can . Lewis looked straight at her . " You're out of chances , Josephine . " Josephine didn't know how to react . She could only look at him stunned , pen still in hand . She was at a loss . Lewis stood up and walked right in front of her . Standing against the light , his shadow enveloped Josephine in darkness . " Don't ever let me see you sign those words again . " Josephine looked at him , and her long lashes trembled . He bent over her and propped himself up with one hand on the sofa , going so close to her that their lips were less than an inch apart . " Did you hear me ? " Lewis repeated . She looked into his deep eyes , opened her mouth , then silently closed them again , not giving him a response . His gaze flickered , and he grabbed her by the neck . He didn't use much force , and it looked inexplicably romantic . " Did you hear me , Josie ? " His voice was gentle , and he called her like he used to . His gentle voice suddenly transported her to a place far away . In his eyes , it was as if she saw that young man smiling at her under the sun . That young man had called her Josie too , his voice bewitching . Josephine nodded unconsciously . " Good girl . " Lewis smirked , then kissed her on the lips while still bent over . Josephine's widened eyes met his . He was staring into her eyes as well , as if waiting for something . Like a game of chess , it seemed like he was waiting for his opponent to admit defeat . He also looked like a king waiting for his enemies to surrender . Josephine looked away . In their battle that seemed like a century , she slowly closed her eyes , admitting defeat . Lewis kissed her with more fervor , and Josephine reacted by putting her arms around his neck . He knew she was on her period and didn't push things too far . However , every sexual thing that could be done , he did . He was not one to inconvenience himself . Just like that , their agreed time frame of two weeks ended swiftly like a joke . Josephine could hear his breath while he hugged her . She suddenly realized , every time she insisted on a divorce , it was just a farce to him . She stroked her belly with her fingers , with Lewis ' hand on hers , holding it tightly close to her stomach , His hand was so warm that she could feel his warmth even through her pajamas , Her heart suddenly beat faster . She turned her head around but was unable to see his face in the pitch - black house . It was his steady breath that told her he must have fallen asleep . However , Josephine was unable to fall asleep that night . It was only when night turned to day that she finally fell asleep groggily . When she woke up , the space beside her was empty . She sat up and saw her phone on the headboard . Looking at her phone , she found the battery fully charged , and it was already noon . She hurriedly got out of bed , changed , and went to the hospital . While she registered at the counter , she wanted to send a text to Avery asking her to lend her some money . Instead , she saw an incoming transfer notification from Lewis and opened it up . It wasn't much , but he was transferring fifty thousand dollars to her . Josephine hesitated . Thinking of how she only had two dollars left and could not even pay for the registration , she grudgingly accepted the transfer . When Lewis heard the notification ring , he glanced at his phone and saw that Josephine had accepted his transfer . He unconsciously smiled at those two words- " Transfer Accepted " . Conrad came in after knocking , bringing a pile of documents with him to Lewis . " President Alvarez , this is from the security footage last night . We have found the two men . " Lewis received the file and took out the pictures , his expression darkening as he looked through them . There were no security cameras near the bridge . Although the pictures were taken from a further place and were blurry , he could figure out what happened . Conrad started grumbling inwardly again . He really thought Lewis wasn't interested in Josephine's safety since he refused to receive his calls last night . He had been working for Lewis for a long time . While he wasn't sure about anything else , he was clear on matters regarding Josephine . Although Lewis seemed unconcerned toward Josephine and liked bullying her , as long as someone who wasn't him had their eyes on her , his possessive nature would jump out . Lewis threw the pictures on the table . " Where are they ? " " We have them locked up . How should we deal with them ? Do we pass them to the police , or … " Lewis stood up from his chair . " I'm going to have a look . " Conrad immediately brought Lewis to where the two thugs were locked up . Lewis was brought to a mansion on a remote hillside . The drive up alone would take more than ten minutes , and this was the only mansion up this huge hillside . If it wasn't for this mansion , the road leading up here would not even be paved . In the backyard of the mansion were a few beasts . Even before entering , one could hear the noise from inside - dogs barking and wolves howling . Going in , snakes could be seen held in a transparent box , as well as crocodiles . This wasn't Conrad's first time here , but he was terrified every time he came . To him , this wasn't a mansion , it was a zoo . Surrounded by cages , two men lay in an empty space in the middle . They were terrified by the noises the dogs and wolves were making toward them .. Both men were shaking when suddenly , the noise quieted down . The beasts sat down as if they sensed something , wagging their tails and sticking out their tongues in excitement . The two men swallowed and followed their line of sight . What they saw was a tall figure walking toward them . The man was wearing a suit with a brown overcoat that accentuated his figure , making his legs noticeably longer . Lewis walked toward the two men , sizing up the both of them without expression . Those emotionless eyes looked at them as if they were mere ants . " Bo … boss , I don't think we've offended you , did we ? " In front of the man's dominating presence , the thug's voice shook while he spoke . Lewis squatted in front of the two men and asked indifferently , " Do you know who I am ? " Both of them shook their heads in unison . " No , we don't . Why did you capture us ? " Lewis smirked and held out his hand . Conrad understood and placed a dagger over his palm . " Why did I capture you ? " Lewis gave them a kind smile . " Let me refresh your memory . His smile filled the both of them with fear . As thugs , it was the first time they really understood what it meant to smile with murderous intent .
