Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 238 I Wish You Would Tell Me Yourself

Micah remained silent..

He seemed lost in thought, turning to gaze out the window, the phone in his hand spinning hypnotically on his palm.

The dazzling city lights outside the car illuminated his face in alternating patterns of shadow and brightness, his mood elusive.

Andrew waited at the sidelines, not daring to interrupt.

After a time, Micah finally spoke, "Let's wait for her to tell us."

"Yes," Andrew nodded in agreement.

Sadie couldn't believe Micah would keep her locked away indefinitely. In her heart, she felt he was just trying to scare her and that he would come to get her soon. After all, just last night, they had been wrapped up in passionate entanglement...

The night passed with no sign of life outside the door. Sadie drifted in and out of a restless sleep, not knowing how long she slumbered, only to awaken to the same haunting silence. Anxiety crept in as time ticked by, morphing from calm composure to unsettling restlessness...

Leah was spiraling out of control, one moment weeping bitterly over Ronan Potter's heartless departure, the next accusing Sadie of shamelessness. She lunged at Sadie multiple times, intent on causing harm, but each time Kathleen and Felipe held her back.

Amidst the tumultuous and stifling chaos, Sadie spent twenty-four hellish hours tortured by both mental and physical anguish. Worried for the children's safety, she pounded on the metal door, calling out for Micah, but her cries fell on deaf ears.

She waved desperately at the security camera in the corner, calling for attention, but received no response.

Another day passed in a blur of torment and uncertainty.

Leah collapsed from exhaustion. Kathleen and Felipe were frantic, shoving Sadie, desperate for her to come up with a solution.

Sadie's shoulder, already bearing a wound that hadn't been treated, now bled profusely from the scuffle...

Dehydration, lack of food, and sleepless nights took their toll, compounded by Leah's relentless torment. Sadie's head spun, cold sweat drenched her body, and she slumped onto the couch... Finally, after half an hour, the iron door swung open.

...

Sadie dreamed of a lion watching her, sniffing her skin, and licking her wounds as if ready to devour her at any moment.

In her dream, she trembled uncontrollably, consumed with terror...

This fear haunted her until she awoke with a start, drenched in sweat, shaking all over.

In the dim light, a pair of eyes watched her, reminiscent of the lion from her dream.

Instinctively, she turned her head and gasped, scrambling out of bed.

"Awake?" Micah sat casually on the couch, chin in his hand, his gaze dark and intense.

Clutching her pillow, Sadie leaned against the bed, breathing erratically as she regained her senses.

Finally, she confronted him, voice charged with emotion, "You bastard, why are you doing this to me?"

"Not enough time locked up?" Micah raised an eyebrow.

Sadie stiffened, afraid to speak out of turn.

Micah stood and slowly approached her...

In panic, Sadie scrambled back, but Micah effortlessly grabbed her ankle, pulled her forward, and she slid beneath him...

Just like in her nightmare, she was under the shadow of a beast, facing a deadly stare.

As if he could devour her at any moment!

"Does it hurt?"

Micah touched her bandaged wound, his voice soft as moonlight, creating an inexplicable sense of dread. An overwhelming sense of unexplained dread engulfed her.

Sadie stayed silent, her large, clear eyes watching him with a complex expression.

She couldn't understand why he was so fickle, so prone to sudden shifts of mood and temper...

One moment he was passionately tender, and the next, he would turn cold and distant without warning...

Was he the passionate tender one moment or the cold and distant the next?

"Be a good girl..." Micah's sensual lips brushed lightly against her cheek as he whispered in her ear, "You know, just one command from me and in ten minutes, I can uncover all your secrets." Then, he took her chin between his fingers, his thumb gently caressing the edge of her lips...

"But I'd rather you tell me yourself."
