Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 705

Ariah tossed and turned around the whole night. She had trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar place, not to mention that there were bodyguards outside watching over her.

Finally, dawn arrived, and someone opened the door of the bedroom.

"Miss Myers, are you awake?" The maid came in with a set of clothes in her hands. "This is Miss Hart's clothes. If you don't mind, you may put them on after you wash up." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Wearing a cold expression, Ariah sat on the bed. "Why would I wear someone else's clothes? Take them away. I'm not going to wear them!"

Unfazed, the maid said, "Mr. Reeves said that you can keep wearing your clothes if you refuse to change, but as a reminder, Mr. Reeves is a clean freak. Besides keeping himself clean, he wants people around him to always be clean too. He will feel uncomfortable if you're going to wear the same clothes you wore yesterday."

Ariah laughed angrily, "That's exactly what I want. I want him to feel uncomfortable."

Putting the clothes aside, the maid looked at Ariah with sincere eyes. "Miss Myers, I have been working with Mr. Reeves for years, so I know his temper well. If you insist on wearing yesterday's clothes and Mr. Reeves sees it, he will ask the bodyguards to strip off your clothes."

Ariah could not believe it. How could such a psycho exist?

After saying that, the maid turned around and left.

She sat by the window for quite a while. Left with no choice, she had to give in.

Camden had too many men. She would not be able to defeat them all by herself.

After taking a shower and changing into a new set of clothes, she followed the bodyguards downstairs.

The maids were busy cooking in the kitchen in the living room on the first floor. Donned a set of gray loungewear, Camden was sitting at the dining table next to a French window, holding a coffee cup in one hand and a newspaper in the other. He was reading the newspaper leisurely.

If Ariah did not know Camden's true colors, she would definitely be deceived by his looks.

Sitting there carefreely, he looked like a harmless and modest gentleman.

However, he had an evil heart.

How could Nicole stay with him for so many years? She could not imagine how much Nicole suffered throughout the years.

As a woman, she felt somewhat sorry for her.

"Miss Myers, are you fascinated by my looks?" Ariah only snapped back to her senses when she heard Camden's teasing voice. Rolling her eyes, she walked up to him, "I'm sorry, you're not my cup of tea."

Frowning, Camden asked, "Am I ugly?"

Being a person who was always confident about his own looks, he could not believe that someone would actually criticize him.

Ariah pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him. Unlike being held hostage, she knocked on the table confidently. "Is breakfast not ready yet? I'm about to starve to death."

Camden's men kidnapped her before she could eat anything yesterday, so she was extremely hungry.

He raised his hand and motioned the maid to come over. "Serve the food."

The maids were just like servants in the ancient days. Immediately, they came to the table, each holding one dish.

Soon after, the empty table was filled with all sort of food.

Ariah started munching on her food unreservedly.

Leisurely, Camden drank his coffee and stared at Ariah with a deep gaze. Her mouth was filled to the brim. Feeling uncomfortable, she said, "Why are you staring at me? Eat your food. Don't you know that it's impolite to stare at someone else when they're eating?"

As if hearing a joke, Camden could not help but chuckle. "You're the one who's being rude. How dare you talk to me about courtesy?"

Ariah did not get mad at all. After swallowing her food, she gulped down a mouthful of water before laughing out loud, "If you were the one who was kidnapped, would you still talk to the kidnapper politely as though you're talking to your family?"

She was being polite enough by not throwing water at him.

Casting her a glance, Camden asked, "Miss Myers, do you think you're a kidnap victim now?"

"Is that's not the case, let me go then!"

"I will let you go. As long as Jimmy brings Nicole here, I will let you leave unharmed."

"What if Jimmy doesn't come?!"

Camden smirked. His eyes darted around Ariah as his lips curled up into a smile. "Then I'll exchange one item for another."

Stunned, Ariah asked, "What... what do you mean?"

Tossing the newspaper in his hand, Camden answered, "Jimmy took Nicole away. If he doesn't bring her back to me, you can stay with me. Women's roles are all the same anyway. I don't care who stays by my side."

Ariah was dumbfounded upon hearing that. Feeling a surge of anger, she pointed at him with her fingers trembling. "You... you..."

She was so angry that she could not speak a word.

Leaning back against his chair, Camden looked her up and down. "Miss Myers, this outfit suits you very well. Even Nicole doesn't look as attractive as you in this outfit. Women who have been married are indeed different. You ooze temptation."

Ariah could no longer hold back her anger. Without hesitation, she grabbed her cup and flung it towards Camden!

After venting her anger, she felt relief, but the maids in the room were dumbfounded. Shocked, they did not even dare to breathe too deeply. Some of them even trembled timidly.

Drenched in water, Camden slowly opened his eyes. Instantly, Ariah felt a sudden drop in temperature in the room, and the air turned cold.

Camden's face was expressionless, and his eyes looked inhuman as he spoke. "Seems like you have a death wish."

His voice sounded so soft, yet Ariah felt an intense wave of fear.

After calming down, she regretted what she did. She should not have provoked a kidnapper out of impulse.

If she really pissed him off, he might harm her even more!

Camden, who was sitting on the chair, stood up all of a sudden. His imposing aura filled the room immediately. Subconsciously, Ariah moved back until the back of her leg hit the chair, and she could no longer move. She said, "What... what are you trying to do?"

She was stuttering, obviously terrified of Camden.

Camden stared coldly at her, his gaze sharp like a knife. "I've been going easy on you because you could still be of use. However, you're stupid for not knowing your place!"

Then, he turned around and walked upstairs while saying, "Since Miss Myers wants to do it the hard way, please lock her up as she wishes."

Right away, Ariah turned around and ran, but she could not escape at all. Camden's men were standing right in front of the door. They stopped her, and the maids dragged her back into the house.

Without showing any mercy, they dragged her to another room. The room was even worse than the one she slept in yesterday. It was dark and depressing.

The maid pushed her onto a chair and said, "Miss Myers, I've already told you not to provoke Mr. Reeves, but you didn't believe me. You chose to be stubborn like Miss Hart, and now you're going to suffer."

After saying that, the maid shook her head, turned around and left.

"Hey!"

Ariah tried to open the door, but it was already locked from the outside.

The bedroom turned dark all of a sudden. She stood in the darkness, rubbing her half- filled stomach while she prayed for Jimmy to come faster.

She finally got to know how psychotic Camden was.
