Take My Breath Away

Chapter 706 Where Are You

"I want to be alone with you. Dismiss your men, or we're done here," Patty said. There were two cops behind Wesley.

Thinking that Patty wouldn't be able to cause any problems he couldn't handle, he conceded.

When it was just the two of them in the cell, Patty said, "You know what I want. Sleep with me, and I'll give you all the dirt on my grandpa."

Wesley looked at her and said nothing. Another woman tried to pull this on him. Back then, he was happy about it. Not until now did he understand why. He fell for Blair a long time ago.

Only, he didn't know it then.

But hearing what Patty said, he was disgusted. His fingers tapping on the table, he replied coldly, "Don't want to talk? No problem. I have a lot of ways to make you talk. Some of them can be quite...persuasive."

Patty smiled bitterly. The room was silent for a bit. She still refused to confess. "Give up smoking?" she asked after a while.

"Yeah, I quit. I'm planning on having a baby," he said patiently. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to end her little game. Wesley didn't seem eager to leave, either.

"With her?"

"Yeah, she's my wife."

That hurt Patty deeply. "What do you see in her, anyway? She's just another pretty face. What does she have that I don't?"

'What do I see in Blair?' Wesley started thinking.

He had fallen for her in so many ways from their first meeting.

She was beautiful. But the point was, she was lovely, inside and out.

He still remembered how she introduced herself all those years ago. She had just moved into the apartment across from his. She didn't seem overly vain. Her face might get dirty, and she wouldn't even know.

When she did realize it, she looked into the wall of the elevator and tried to get the smear off her face, but she only made it worse.

There were times when she was afraid, but she stubbornly pretended to be strong and fearless

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

e was going to meet Patty, ' she thought.

"Blair, I'm at the police station. In a cell. Just ignore her, she's trolling you," Wesley explained.

His eyes were red in fury. His arm shot out, and he fastened his hand around her neck. His grip tightened.

Patty was in agony, yet she didn't stop. She forced the words hoarsely past Wesley's deadly grasp. "Wesley... didn't you tell me...you broke...broke up with her?" Then, she was quiet.

Blair couldn't see Wesley choking her. The only thing she knew was that Patty sounded in a lot of pain. Blair herself was like that when Wesley was too much for her in bed and she begged him to stop.

"Don't listen to—" Wesley said. But Blair hung up on him without a word.

She started whimpering. Her heart was falling apart. Should she believe Wesley? But how? It was so hard. Did he have any proof?

Rage overwhelmed Wesley the minute she hung up. Patty was struggling, miserably gasping for air.

"She committed suicide because she thought I was dead. She is still not over it yet. If anything happens to her, I'll put a bullet in your head!" Wesley said through gritted teeth.

Two policemen barged into the room and tried to pull him away. "Senior Colonel Li, get off her!"

"You're killing her!"
