Come Back, My Ruunaway Bride
Chapter 1 The Young Man In The Basement
The dim, yellow light from the lamp overhead swung around, casting ominous shadows inside the cold basement.
A young man was lying on the ground, covered in blood. If it hadn't been for the subtle rise and fall of his chest, it would have been easy to assume that he was already good as dead.
The crisp sound of high heels clacking on the ground rang in the air. After which, a heavy iron door opened, making a harsh, creaking sound.
A man and a woman came in. The man was wearing a sharp and decent looking suit, his physique tall and rigid. The deep features in his face made him quite handsome. There was, however, a particular cruelty in his eyes. As he looked down on the nearly lifeless body on the ground, he sneered in disgust.
The woman, on the other hand, was wearing a white, strapless dress, paired with silver stilettos. Her clothes hugged her curvy figure nicely. Her delicate face was enhanced by the exquisite makeup she had on. However, the malice in her eyes inevitably reduced her beauty.
From the looks of it, the pair had just came in from a formal banquet.
"Mr. Darren, Miss Ashley," the doorman greeted with the utmost respect, following closely behind them.
"Has he said anything yet?" Darren Gu asked coldly.
The man shook his head. "No, sir. Wouldn't utter a single word."
"Do whatever it takes! There's no way he would be able to endure any more pain," Darren Gu ordered, gritting his teeth in annoyance.
Raising her head to look at Darren Gu, Ashley Rong smiled gently. The malice in her eyes earlier had all vanished.
"Darren, I want to have a few words with my brother," she crooned sweetly. "Can I have a minute alone with him?"
Darren Gu looked down at her and gently stroked her head. There was nothing Ashley Rong asked for that he would refuse.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Be careful."
As soon as Darren Gu walked out of the room, Ashley Rong gave a quick wink to the other man. Immediately, he understood and followed Darren out.
There were only the two of them in the basement.
