Chapter 456 - Love Makes People Crazy
The connecting tune could be heard through the phone's speaker, Sasha trembled as she was getting impatient from waiting for her call to connect.
'Jean, pick up the phone... please answer the call!'
It seemed that God heard her prayer, and after three beeps, she heard the phone being picked up.
In this instant, Sasha bursted into tears, she didn't have any extra energy so she could just put her phone on the bed and put her head right next to it.
She faintly heard the conversation on the other side, but she didn't dare delay any longer. Even though her voice was low and hoarse, she muttered, "Jean, help me! Save me... Jean!"
Before her tragic scream was covered by someone's hand, Sasha was already trembling with fear.
Sasha looked up in panic, she could see Anthony smiling at her.
His body was still covered in foam and the man wore only a wet nightgown. He muffled her with one hand then quickly picked up the phone and hung it up with the other.
He hummed softly as he raised the phone high and said, "Honey, why are you so naughty?"
When those words came out, a brutal slap landed right on Sasha's face.
Sasha lost consciousness and turned deaf for a short time, she couldn't hear anything and her vision turned black.
She felt like the light of life she had just found was swallowed by darkness again.
Sasha now knew that she might never be able to escape for the rest of her life.
Then, Anthony took her cellphone and called Jean back.
He returned to being gentle and friendly. After a few greetings, he explained to the man saying, "Young Master Jean, forgive my future wretched wife. I apologize for bothering you with that prank call. Sasha may miss her friends so don't blame her for suddenly calling you."
At this time, Jean had just walked back to his office right after visiting another department. And when he entered the door, he saw Lilia leaning on the sofa and falling asleep.
His cold eyes were radiating with warmth, he then answered Anthony in a low voice, "Alright then."
Hearing this, Anthony's heart felt relieved. He smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "While here, I also want to share the good news. Next week is our wedding. If you have time, we will be honored to welcome you."
From today, Sasha really belonged to Anthony, and she would never escape him.
What's more, no one knew that the man she married was a demon with multiple personalities.
Therefore, under Anthony's eternal confinement torture, Sasha's heart and personality had also undergone significant changes over time.
In less than two years, this arrogant woman developed a symptom known as Stockholm syndrome. This was a psychological condition when a victim of kidnapping or violence would fall in love with the perpetrator.
In short, Sasha lost her true self and fell in love with Anthony during her torture and suffering.
Since then, she hadn't complained and had absolutely no thoughts of running away. She knew that she was no longer Sasha Hiroshi, but Anthony's exclusive wife.
The change might've shook her world so hard that she completely lost herself. After all, she was only 28 years old.
Even though Anthony had a personality disorder, his possessive desire for Sasha also made him want to stay with her all his life.
A few months after their marriage, there were rumors in Surabaya that the young master of the Peter family loved his wife so much. In fact, he continued to smile and boast about his wife. He did not hesitate to put her name on the cosmetic brand developed by the Peter family's pharma company.
Sasha might be sad, but after falling in love with Anthony, she got what she dreamed of.
After 2 years of living together, she and Anthony sat under the setting sun and looked back at the sky, feeling that they complemented each other.
Love was what made people crazy, and after the madness passed, all that was left was love.
...
At eight o'clock that night, the sky was already dark.
Lilia sat cross-legged on the sofa at the Lakeside Villa. She lifted her chin and looked at the man who was playing with the tea maker on the opposite side. He still had 18 boxes of tea leaves beside him.
After thinking about it many times, Lilia still had curiosity. "If Sara's car accident was really Sasha's doing, the Hartanto family shouldn't just ignore it, right?"
She asked this, yet she still had doubts in her heart about the indifferent Hartanto family.
Although there was no definite evidence that Sasha was behind it, Jean received the latest investigative information after lunch.
The result revealed that on the morning of the engagement party, after Sasha withdrew fifteen million in cash, she unexpectedly created a new passbook and deposited the money in it.
Judging from the habits of rich people like her, this small amount of money was not enough to attract people's attention.
However, this was not a large number. And Sasha's action did not arouse people's suspicions.
But the problem arose this afternoon, when her newly opened savings were suddenly withdrawn from a bank in a remote village in the Pasuruan area at two o'clock in the afternoon.
At that time, Sasha was in Surabaya, it was impossible for her to go to a bank in a remote village just to withdraw the cash.
The combination of these two suspicious factors made one wonder who took the money from the savings account with a deposit of fifteen million.
At this time, the man opposite Lilia took the teaspoon, his drooping brows still unable to dampen his good looks and arrogance.
He poured the tea in the teacup then looked at Lilia, as he curled his thin lips and furrowed his brows, his mature and steady voice could be heard. "It's hard to say that if the Hartanto family wanted to investigate this further, because after all, this matter concerned the Hiroshi family. Judging from the current situation of the Hartanto family, there is no point in bothering the Hiroshi family."
Lilia silently listened to the man's explanation. She pulled the corner of her mouth and flicked her fingertips at her face. "That's right, I heard that Sara's presence had little effect at the Hartanto family's house. Even if they want to hold her accountable, it's up to Jefferson and Chris!"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the night outside the window, and inadvertently expressed her emotions. "If Sara knew that she would be where she is today, she might want to stay away from Sasha,"
Her emotions still stirred in her heart when the man had finished pouring a cup of brewed tea into a green porcelain cup.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Lilia. After putting the teacup in front of her, he whispered, "This is a circle of destiny, she is only reaping what she has sown,"
This... This was the point!
Lilia couldn't help smiling, she didn't want to continue this topic. She just held her teacup by the tip of her nose and inhaled the smell. She raised her eyebrows and said in a joking tone, "Turns out my husband can make fragrant tea."
The man gave her a quick glance, but he didn't ignore her sweet tone.. When he was about to take a sip, the doorbell rang.
