Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 707

There were no guards in the corridor. Ariah knew which one was Camden's bedroom, so she went straight in.

The moment she managed to push open the door to his bedroom, she was overjoyed. He did not even think of locking his door when he was sleeping. It served him right. That was why she could outwit him.

Quietly, she closed the door and tiptoed towards the huge bed.

Camden looked extremely handsome even in his sleep. Eyes scanning the room, Ariah suddenly came up with an idea. Why not use this chance to stab him to death? She was doing the world a favor by killing him anyway.

However, it was only a brief thought.

She had never killed anyone before, nor did she know how to do it. Moreover, she did not have the courage to do so. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

After pondering for a moment, she sat down by the bed and slowly reached out her hand to wake Camden up. "Camden, can you see my fingers? I'm going to count to three. After I snap my fingers, you must listen to what I say..."

"One, two, three..."

After saying that, she snapped her fingers and kept her gaze fixed on Camden's eyes. Looking at him with charming eyes, she said softly, "Get out of bed now and follow me outside."

Camden, who was lying down, slowly sat up.

Ariah was secretly rejoicing. She did not expect that her method would work.

"You know how to hypnotize someone?"

The next second, the man's cold voice echoed around the bedroom. His voice sounded a bit hoarse as he just woke up.

Ariah looked at him in disbelief, "You... you're not hypnotized?"

Sitting on his bed, Camden said while giving her a meaningful look. "I can't believe you actually know how to hypnotize someone."

From the moment she entered his room, he was already awake. However, he decided to keep his eyes close because he wanted to see what Ariah was up to.

If she planned to kill him, he would have shot her with the gun he hid under the blanket.

Fortunately, she was smart enough not to kill him in his territory.

Looking at the man's sparkling yet dark eyes,

Ariah knew that her plan failed. Without hesitation, she turned around and ran.

"Stop right there."

Staying on the bed, Camden said slowly, "Come back right now, and I'll turn a blind eye to you sneaking into my room in the middle of the night. If you take one step further, I'm going to pull the trigger."

Terrified, Ariah turned around. As expected, she saw him pointing a gun at her.

Suddenly, she felt relief for not stabbing him. Otherwise, she would have been dead by now.

Gulping, Ariah hurried back to him. "Alright, I'm not leaving. Please put your gun away. It might go off."

Looking at the horrified look on her face, Camden smiled and put his gun aside. He stared at her with his black eyes as he said, "So, you know hypnosis?"

Ariah nodded, "Yes."

Since he already found out, she had nothing to hide.

"Why did you want to hypnotize me?"

"What else? I wanted to make you let me go."

Camden laughed as though he just heard a joke. "I already gave you your phone. Why don't you call the police for help?"

Ariah snorted, "I don't even know where this place is. How am I supposed to call the police?"

"Even if you don't know where this place is, you would call the police first if you have a strong will to live, unless..."

Camden paused halfway. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "You don't want to call the police."

Furious, Ariah shouted, "What bullsh*t are you talking about? Of course, I want to call the police!"

Camden did not believe her at all. Word by word, he said, "You are waiting for Jimmy, just like what I'm doing. You're waiting for him to rescue you, and you want to know whether he will do so. So, even after I return the phone to you, you didn't call for help right away."

Lowering her gaze, Ariah pursed her lips and kept silent.

A smile gradually crept across Camden's face. "Are you jealous because Jimmy came here to take Nicole away?"

Although it was a question, he sounded certain.

"Or are you afraid that Jimmy and Nicole will fall for each other and get back together again since they are childhood sweethearts? So you want to take this opportunity to test whether Jimmy loves you or Nicole more?"

Camden saw through Ariah's mind just like that. At first, she felt embarrassed, but she gradually calmed down. Pursing her lips, she admitted, "You're right. I wanted to test Jimmy, but too bad, he's not giving me the chance to do it. He's not even picking up my call."

Having said that, Ariah paused and said, "He must be helping Nicole to settle down right now. I don't know where he went. He might be abroad, so there's no way he can come tomorrow. You know what, Camden? You should just give up on this idea."

"It's not even dawn yet. How do you know that Jimmy won't come tomorrow?"

"He won't. He's been looking for Nicole for years, and he finally got to save her now. It's impossible he would send her back just like that." Ariah sighed. "If you really loved Nicole, why didn't you treat her better? Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to leave you."

The smile in Camden's eyes faded away, but the corners of his mouth were still curled upwards. "Who told you that I like her? I want Jimmy to bring her back because I want to take my anger out on her. I have to let her know that she belongs to me, and she can't simply leave just because she wants to!"

Ariah shook her head. Camden was not being truthful, so she found it hard to communicate with him.

Tired of talking to him, she got up and wanted to leave. However, she saw the gun on the bed, and she asked, "So, can I go back to bed now?"

Camden stared at her for quite some time before waving his hand impatiently. Right when Ariah was about to run away, Camden suddenly said, "Leave your phone behind."

Ariah's body stiffened up, "I won't call the police..."

"I bet you won't previously, but I can't say for sure now." Women are complicated. Now that he saw through her little act, she might really call the police in a fit of pique.

It seemed like she would not be able to leave without leaving her phone behind.

Left with no choice, she tossed her phone aside, gritted her teeth, and left.

Two maids were waiting for her outside the door. They watched her until she went back to the bedroom before locking the door.

Surprisingly, Ariah slept quite well that night. Even she herself was impressed by how chill she was with the whole situation.

In fact, she was not that afraid of Camden anymore as he did not physically harm her. That was why she could sleep particularly well last night.

The next second, she got a real slap in the face.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, she saw Camden waving his hand casually. Then, two bodyguards strode toward her, one on the left and the other on the right, and tied her down onto a chair with a rope.

F**k!

"Camden Reeves, that f*cking son of a b*tch!"

Ariah cursed at him loudly until her mouth went dry. Camden, who was eating gracefully at the dining table, kept a poker face. Only when Ariah stopped cursing that he glanced at her calmly and told her, "Jimmy replied to your message."
