I looked over in shock, only to receive another slap.

"What are you looking at! Go over there and call yourself!"

Leonard sat down, panting and staring at me.

I struggled to stand up, but as soon as I stood up, he kicked me far away.

"Did I ask you to get up?"

I was thrown and hit the corner of the table, but luckily, it did not hit my stomach.

But, I felt a warm sensation on my forehead.

I raised my hand and wiped it. It was blood.

I stared at him and questioned, "What on earth do you want? We are so in love and you ...."

"Shut up!"

Leonard shouted and rushed over, then slapped me again.

"Every time I get close to you, I feel extremely disgusted! We are in love? Who do you think you are? You're not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

He put his mobile phone in front of me and instructed. "Call!"

My hands trembled, then I clicked on my parent's family's group chat and made a group video call.

To my surprise, they picked up the call very quickly.

"Mr. Roxburgh, is there something you want to order by calling at this hour?”

I shouted in a trembling voice. "Mom ...."

As soon as she heard me speak, my aunt, Miranda Davis, immediately picked up the phone and said, "Oh, you damn girl, why did you take Mr. Roxburgh's phone? You don't even show your face when you make a video call to your elders? I don't know how your parents taught you."

I cried out. "Mom, save me! Save me! He's going to beat me to death!"

My mother, Georgina Davis, seemingly unwilling to believe, her voice came from her phone. "Yvette, don't be willful. Mr. Roxburgh is so nice, how could he hit you? Look how good Mr. Roxburgh is to us, he even let us go on vacation abroad."

As she spoke, the camera flashed through the surrounding scenery and my aunt and uncle's family were also there.

Thinking of Leonard's words that he would let me go as long as one of them came to save me, I suddenly wanted to catch my savior so badly.

With so many family members, at least one of them would come to my rescue, right?

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself so I could speak more clearly.

Leonard just watched me with interest and without any intention of stopping.

I slowly moved the camera over.

"Mom, I'm not lying to you. He's trying to kill me! He locked me up in the small dark room and didn't let me go out. He even beat me. Look at me!"

But, at the end, I started to choke up.

At this moment, my father, Edward Kiehl, spoke up, "When a man and a woman get married and live together, it is natural for them to have a fight sometimes. I think Leonard is a good guy. If he wants to beat you to death, then you must be misbehaving!"

Then, my uncle, Anthony Hawke, also said, "Yvette, our family relies on Mr. Roxburgh, so you have to serve him well!"

"That's right, I heard that rich people all have some little quirks. As a wife, you should learn and serve your husband well so as not to suffer any loss!"

Now my aunt's voice came and she was chewing something in her mouth.

Since I was a child, I had always known that my relatives were greedy for money. But I never expected, even when I was kidnapped and tortured, not only do they not care about me, but they keep blaming me!

"Mom! Look at me! Look at me! Is it my fault that he beat me like this?"

Until this moment, I saw that everyone in the video started to dodge. It turned out that they all knew that it was not a joke, but they just did not care.

"I didn't do anything. He just kidnapped me and wanted to beat me to death. He said that as long as one of you ... um ...."

Leonard covered my mouth and looked at me fiercely.

His grasp was so strong that it almost suffocated me.

I finally heard my mother's voice at this moment.

"Yvette! Yvette! What's wrong with you? Are you still there?"

I tried desperately to pry Leonard's hands away, but I did not have that much strength and he grasped me even tighter.

The suffocating sensation spread and I felt like I could not hold on any longer, but at this moment, he let go of me.

I did not care about anything else, panting heavily and coughing fiercely.

"Oh, Georgina, they are just a couple having fun, why are you asking so many questions?" said my aunt trying to divert my mother's worries.

"That's right, I can hear it from here that the young couple is having fun. Auntie, we should go out for a walk. We've been waiting for you for a long time," said my cousin in a hurry, then the moment he finishes his words, the video call hung up.

I was just gasping for breath, but then I choked up. I looked over in despair and Leonard smiled sinisterly as his phone hit my head.

The phone fell to the ground and my head started bleeding even more.

When I collapsed on the ground, he sat directly on me.

I panicked and tried to protect my stomach, but he put on a fierce and cruel look.

"A woman like you is such a slut! You're trying to please my parents just to have a child, but you're not even afraid of being beaten by me!"

Even though he said such a cruel and mean words, he did not hit my stomach.

I thought he still had humanity.

But the next second, a slap landed on my head with a crackling sound.

"I told you, you'd get beaten once you failed to get a rescue!"

I laid on the ground begging for mercy, but he became more and more excited as he hit me.

"What you are enduring now is not even one thousandth of what she is enduring. Why can't you bear it? Huh?" he said while grabbing my hair and forcing me to look at him.

I did not know who the "she" he was talking about and I did not know where his hatred for me was from.

"She? Who is she?" I asked out loud, but instead of getting an answer, I got a hard slap in the face.

"You don't deserve to know her name!"

I knew that the only way I could save myself now was to keep myself calm.

So, I tentatively said,

"You just said that you would let me go as long as they agreed to come and rescue me, but you didn't say that I couldn't tell the truth. Did you cover my mouth just now because you wanted to go back on your word? Or are you afraid that my family will have some humanity and come to rescue me?"

Leonard did not expect me to ask this, or perhaps this question touched his nerves and he was thinking about it.

I took this opportunity to think about how I should persuade the people whom I called later to come and save me if he or she did not agree.

But then, another slap came.

"Bitch! Do you think you are someone that everyone loves? Even if I asked you to, do you really think they would come to save you?"

I held back my tears and replied, "Since you don't believe it, let's give it a try."

The man snorted coldly. "Put away your little thoughts, no one can save you today!"

He took the phone which looked broken in several parts and handed it over.

"Go on. I won't interrupt this time."

The playful look in his eyes was like he was certain no one would save me.

I calmed myself down for the moment and called my brother’s group chat.

Like my parents, he answered almost in seconds.

"Oh, Leonard, is there anything I can help you?"

That was my brother's voice. Although I tried to control myself, I still could not help but choke up a little.

"Elli, Leonard has kidnapped me, please, come and save me ...."

"What? What did you say? My signal is bad, I'm hanging up!"

The random beeping sound chilled me to the bone.

"Hahahaaa, did you see that? Did you see that? You're just an abandoned daughter!"

Leonard laughed heartily, as if he had seen something funny.

I begged him on my knees.

"You see, I am just a pawn of my family to seek refuge with your family. If there is a victim then there is a perpetrator. No matter who angers you, go find them, okay?"

Leonard fell silent. I thought what I said had worked, so I begged again.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm out, I'll do whatever you want me to do and I will never cause you any trouble ... ah!"

I thought he was moved, but I did not expect him to just swing his fist this time.

"She begged them the same way at that time, but she received no less beatings."

"So, you, why do you think I will let you go!"

He roared as he punched me.

In the midst of my helplessness, a figure suddenly appeared in my mind!

I remember hearing that Leonard had a girlfriend before we got married and I told my parents that our marriage should be called off.

However, my parents told me not to worry about it and as long as I agreed, everything would be easy.

I did not say anything. After all, my opinion never mattered in that family.

However, I still got someone to check on Leonard.

His girlfriend was the adopted daughter of the Roxburgh Family, a gentle and intellectual girl named Lizbeth Roxburgh.

It was said that she was very knowledgeable from a young age and the only thing that upset the Roxburgh Family was that they felt the girl had hooked up with their son, Leonard!

Later, Lizbeth went abroad to study, while Leonard stayed in the UK for some unknown reason.

But unexpectedly, just as the two families finalized our marriage, Lizbeth was arrested.

A group of human traffickers even threatened to live streaming.

Someone with a thorny mind exposed it and it became a video broadcast all over the Internet.

"This woman is pregnant and worthless. So, does anyone like embryos? Hahahahaha."

The man in the live streaming was smiling, but his face was extremely terrifying.

I did not dare to continue watching, I just begged her to be safe.

And the "she" Leonard mentioned just now, was that Lizbeth?

Thinking of this, I wanted to open my mouth to speak up, but I felt like my mouth was no longer my own.

Leonard watched with a playful expression from the side, just like the pervert in the live streaming at that time.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that he was imitating that pervert.

He wanted to shift the blame for what happened to Lizbeth onto me.

I was so scared that my whole body trembled.

Although I did not finish watching the live streaming, I heard about her ending.

The human traffickers' live streaming was for money. As long as her relatives could pay to buy her organs one by one, they could save her.

But at the beginning, perhaps to deter them, they livestreamed a severe beating.

Lizbeth was beaten all over and then was pushed to stand in front of the camera.

As a result, Lizbeth was beaten to the point of miscarriage and the white cloth on the ground was stained red with blood, but she still did not wait for her family to come and rescue her.

Then, when those people lost their patience and were about to kill her, they saw a comment from "ElliElliot": [It's such a pity to kill her. Leaving her with hope of survival but no one saving her is what everyone wants to see!]

The pain that could have ended with a single blow was dragged on for two hours because of such a sentence.

Lizbeth seemed to whisper something, but in the end, could not make a sound.

"You want to avenge Lizbeth, right?"

I finally shouted out loud and as expected, Leonard's hand stopped.

My guess was true.

Because the next second another fist came.
