Chapter 1218
"Who will be their boss?" Aleigha asked in a low voice.
Adrian frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, "I have too many enemies. Apart from that person, Darien will be the one who can trail us here."
'That person?' Aleigha felt confused but swallowed her question.
She had the patience to wait for Adrian's confession about that person.
Although they managed to get rid of those men, both Adrian and Aleigha didn't feel like continuing the sightseeing anymore. After lunch, they went back to the hotel.
At 1 p.m, Adrian left for business. Before his departure, he bad Aleigha not to open the door for any strangers.
Aleigha responded impatiently and fretfully, thinking that Adrian was making a fuss.
At dusk, Adrian didn't come back yet. Out of hunger, Aleigha intended to go downstairs for food.
Aleigha was stunned by someone at the door before she could figure out what happened.
Waking up, Aleigha found herself in an unknown place.
It seemed to be a private manor of the European style. Aleigha woke up on a bed without handcuffs or shackles.
"Miss Gardner, are you alright?"
Following the sound, Aleigha saw a middle-aged foreigner who spoke Chinese well.
"Where am I?" Aleigha sounded calm, and her eye expressions were cold.
The middle-aged man said with a smile, "This is a manor in Siberian."
"Siberian?"
What on earth had happened to her? How could she wake up in Siberian, while her last memory was connected with the Middle East!
"Master said, it will not be easy for Adrian to find you in this way."
Aleigha sneered, "Your painstaking efforts aim to prevent Adrian from finding me?"
"Interesting! Why is the point of this kidnap? Adrian won't give in for me."
With a smile, the middle-aged man left the room.
Aleigha went up to try the door handle. To her surprise, the door was unlocked.
She went out of the room, and the servants saw her but didn't bar her way.
This encouraged Aleigha. She strolled around the manor, which turned out to be bigger than she had thought.
Looking out of the window, Aleigha found the reason for her freedom in the manor.
Outside the manor was the endless whiteness, and the mountains haunted in the snows.
With snowstorms, Aleigha doubted if one could survive outside for one day.
She could foresee what awaited her escape.
No doubt, it would be death only.
"Miss Gardner, it's cold outside. You'd better stay in the manor."
"By the way, Master keeps more than a dozen of wolfs outside."

This Sir was a freak?
Smiling, Aleigha nodded to the young and beautiful maid, "Thanks for your reminder!"
"I am not interested in being the prey for those wolves. Don't worry."
For Aleigha, this threat worked.
"Is your Master Darien Xiao?"
With a smile, the maid left without a response.
Aleigha learned something from this conversation. She swallowed back all her questions and enjoyed her life in this extravagant prison. Then, one week passed. Coming back, Adrian found no one in the suite, and his eyes darkened.
The phone rang at the same time.
"Where's Aleigha?"
His tone was deep, and he didn't take the trouble to conceal his anger.
"Mr. Xiao, are you losing your coolness for a woman? It is so unlike Mr. Xiao I know!"

"Pay the price? I can afford it! How will you make me pay for it? I wonder."
Adrian sneered, "Don't provoke me with those tricks. Make sure that Aleigha is safe and sound."
"Otherwise, you will regret your deeds one day."
"Mr. Xiao, I am looking forward to it!"
Adrian didn't want to waste any time and hung up the phone. Then, he cooled down.
It was a new experience for Aleigha, as she was putting on weight in a kidnap!
She didn't suffer any torture in this kidnap.
She ate and slept well in the boring prison, and then the fat accumulated on her belly quickly.
She had herself to blame for this.
At dusk, the wind howled outside, and Aleigha huddled up on a bearskin rug.
She was reading a book.
There were light and slow footsteps, and Aleigha turned her head toward the doorway.
Two green diamondlike spots stopped in the dark corridor.
They stared at Aleigha intently.
Aleigha felt dry in the throat, her heart

The green spots moved all of a sudden.
Behind Aleigha was a sofa. There was nothing in the room for Aleigha to hide or defend herself.
All she got was the book in her hand.
She gripped the book began to move slowly with her eyes fixating on the two green spots.
They were getting closer, and Aleigha could hear the hoarse and heavy breathes.
When the white figure exposed under the lights in the room, Aleigha saw her opponent.
It was the wolf they talked about, much bigger than Aleigha had imagined.
Apart from terror, Aleigha felt the dead silence.
The wolf stepped forward, and Aleigha climbed on the sofa, ready to fight with the book in her hand.
"Cutie, stop."
Cutie?
A low male voice came from outside the door.
Frowning, Aleigha flew into a rage.
"Jaidyn, take your wolf away!" One could tell her fury by the howl.
Jaidyn looked at the woman in the room, and a smile flashed across his calm face.
This woman was freaked out.
"Jaidyn, take your wolf away. Can't you hear me?" Aleigha shouted again.
"Come out, Cutie. Don't be naughty."
The giant wolf, Cutie, whimpered. It left with a sad face.
Relaxing, Aleigha collapsed on the sofa.
"Aleigha, wolves scare you?"
Jaidyn could not help smiling as he walked in.
'This man knows how to smile?'
Aleigha didn't care if he smiled or not. She felt dizzy, nauseous, and weak.
"I will hit the wall and kill myself to save your trouble if you let that thing comes in again."
"You keep me as a hostage to threat Adrian and frighten me with that thing."
"Aleigha, I thought you feared nothing in this world."
"Cutie is not scary. It's loyal like a dog. Just now, it wanted to show you its kindness."
"You, take your dog away as soon as
possible, otherwise, I guarantee that I will make you pay the price
