Chapter 1039 You’re Ordering Me Around?

Before this, Ewan only felt lust for Tamara. He liked Tamara’s looks and lusted for her body. However, after exchanging blows with Tamara, he grew interested in the woman. Not only did she have a nice figure, but she also had an interesting personality! A woman like this was hard to come by. His feelings for her were slowly changing. He didn’t just lust for her. He wanted to marry her! A beautiful, brave girl like Tamara needed a strong husband, and Ewan was the best candidate. That was why Ewan changed his mind. He gave Tamara one last confident look before leaving the room. Tamara was dumbfounded. She stared blankly at Ewan’s retreating figure. “What is wrong with him?” she wondered aloud, a mix of confusion and disbelief evident in her voice. “Me? Falling in love with him?” She scoffed, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. “What a joke!” Her heart belonged to Sebastian. She would never fall for anyone else. One thing was for certain—Ewan would not force himself upon her. For the time being, she was safe. But what about Sebastian? How was he faring? Alice also lusted for him. Even more than Ewan’s lust for her, might she add. Tamara’s face fell. She headed straight for the door. She immediately saw two maids standing outside. “How may I help you, miss?” One of the maids stopped her. Tamara pushed past the maids. Some guards nearby immediately rushed forward. “We have orders from sir to keep you in your room.” Tamara’s face darkened. She went back inside her room and sat on the couch. She needed a plan. The castle was heavily guarded. It was impossible for her to get out and meet with Sebastian. What should she do now? Tamara’s frown deepened. … At the same time, in a room upstairs. Sebastian was resting on the couch with his eyes closed when Alice walked in. She had brought with her some cake. “I made this myself. Give it a try.” She placed the cake on the table. A look of admiration appeared on her face. “I have called off the ransom. I don’t need the ten billion dollars. Your family won’t bother us ever again.” Sebastian remained silent on the couch. Alice continued, “My brother likes your wife. I’ll admit, she is a beauty. She’s probably having some fun with my brother by now.” As soon as Sebastian heard Alice’s words, he broke free from his handcuff. He grabbed Alice by her neck and choked her. He had a dark look in his eyes, and he looked like a blood-thirsty beast. “What did you say?” growled Sebastian dangerously. Alice struggled against him. She choked, "I said…my brother likes your wife…they’re probably…in bed…" The hold on her throat tightened. Alice’s eyes rolled back into her skull. Was this how she was going to die? "If you kill me…she…will die too…" Alice struggled to get her words out. The grip on her throat loosened almost immediately. She sagged to the floor, gasping for air. Sebastian’s face was void of any emotions. He stared at Alice blankly. “Take me to her now.” Alice looked up at him. “Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are? You’re ordering me around?”
