Chapter 14 On the screen , Monica and her kidnapper lover were entangled naked on a bed , the images so vulgar it was hard to watch " Monica , between me and that Matthew Wilson of yours , who's better ? " ] the man asked with a breathless , leering laugh . ] Monica laughed wantonly , her voice both seductive and sharp . " You , of course ... Matthew is completely useless ... " [ " Heh , spending Matthew's money , sleeping with his woman ... I'm making a killing on this deal " ] Their dirty talk grew more explicit . their positions more obscene . ] | The guests erupted . Gasps filled the air , and a sea of phones went up , flashes creating a blinding strobe effect across the hall . " Turn it off ! Turn it off now ! " ] a Monica's face went white as a sheet . She scrambled towards the control booth , screaming . " It's fake ! It's a deepfake ! Stop filming ! " In her panic , she hit the sound system's controls , and the lewd moans suddenly blasted through the hall at full volume . ] " Matthew ! Help me turn it off " ] ] She lunged at Matthew , sobbing , but the moment her fingertips touched his sleeve , a powerful electric current shot through the diamond bracelet on her wrist . ZAP ! collapsed to the floor as if her bones had been removed , convulsing , her hair standing on end . Two security guards immediately rushed forward and pinned her arms behind her back ] " Matthew ! What the hell did you put on me ?! " ] Monica screamed in terror , trying desperately to tear off the bracelet , but it was clamped on tight , constricting with every struggle . Matthew looked down at her , his expression more disgusted than if he were looking at a piece of garbage . ] Monica suddenly scrambled to her knees , clutching his pant leg . " Matthew , believe me ! I only love you ! This has to be that venomous bitch Sophie's doing ! She's jealous of us ! " Matthew sneered and snapped his fingers. Instantly , two guards dragged a man in and threw him to the floor . The man was bruised and battered , naked but bound tightly with ropes - it was her kidnapper lover from the video . The moment she saw him , the last bit of color drained from Monica's face . " How ... but you were supposed to ... " [ ] " Supposed to have run off with my money ? " Matthew lifted his foot and kicked her hard in the chest . ol you can play with ? Even if he ran to the ends of the earth , I'd drag him back ! " ] " Morica , do you take me for a fool you " Matthew , let me explain- " Monica coughed up blood , but a sharp slap cut her words short . ] SMACK " Did you really think I'd throw a gala to legitimize you ? " Matthew gripped her chin , his eyes like chips of ice . ] " These " guests ' are hired actors . All to make you understand your place . You're not even fit to shine my shoes . " [ ] He kicked her again , this time in the stomach . " Want to have another baby with me ? You're not worthy ! Your first one was a bastard " How much money have I wasted on you and that bastard child of yours ? I am nobody's fool . You should have thought about the consequences of deceiving me . " Terrified , Monica clung to his leg , banging her head on the floor . ] ] She knew what Matthew was capable of Last year , a client who crossed him ended up with broken ribs in an alley . Another man who drunkenly harassed Sophie was shipped off to a scam compound in Southeast Asia and never heard from again . ]] " I was wrong ! Matthew , I was so wrong ! " she sobbed breathlessly . " Please , for the seven years Joseph called you ' Daddy , ' spare us ! Ahhh - 1″ Before she could finish . Matthew pressed a remote control for the bracelet . Electricity surged through Monica's body . She convulsed on the floor , her screams heart - wrenching . Matthew watched coldly , then dialed his assistant , Lucas . " Bring Joseph to the West Mountain villa . Let's have a little ' family reunion . " He looked down at Monica writhing on the floor , his voice quiet but bone - chillingly cold . " It's time to settle your debts . Every last one . " [ ] An hour later . Joseph walked into the villa clutching an Ultraman toy and froze at the sight of the two figures kneeling in the living room His mother and the " uncle " had their mouths covered with duct tape , their faces filled with terror . [ ] " Mommy ? What's wrong ? " He ran over , trying to pull off the tape . " Where's Daddy ? " || Monica and her lover shook their heads frantically , making muffled warning sounds . [ ] Confused , Joseph reached for his mother's face . " Are you guys playing the kidnapping game ? I saw you do it before ! I even gave you the rope ... " ]] Перін 11 " Well taught . " Matthew stepped out from behind the curtain , clapping his hands slowly . " Monica , you don't even shield your child from this ? Like mother , like son . I suppose . " [ ] Joseph turned , saw him , and pointed at the bound man " Mommy , you said my two daddies couldn't be here at the same time ! " || The words had barely left his mouth when Matthew's foot slammed into his chest . THUD ! The kick was swift and brutal , sending Joseph flying into the wall before he slumped to the floor . Monica let out a desperate , muffled cry , her eyes wide with horror . [ ] " That one was for my daughter , " Matthew said , walking slowly toward the boy . " Payback for her mother making my daughter gleed , eed . " ] He crouched down , grabbed Joseph's collar , and slapped him hard across the face , twice SMACK ! SMACKI " These two are for shoving a marble down my daughter's throat ! " His eyes were bloodshot , practically murderous . " She was a newborn ! Were you trying to choke her to death ?
