My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 1986



02 had long been annoyed by the smug look at Tremaine's face. He strode forward and cut off a piece of flesh from Tremaine's shoulder.

Ten minutes later, Tremaine's shoulder was still bleeding.

The wolf was ever so hungry as it continued staring at Tremaine with hungry eyes.

In just ten minutes, the torture had escalated to a horrible, bloody, and miserable stage.

No words in the world could describe such terror and despair.

Even Lessie turned her head away, not wanting to see such a scene.

Tremaine didn't say a word from beginning to end.

However, he clenched his fists tightly until the veins on his hands popped.

"Stop it!"

Lessie abruptly stopped 02 from cutting off more of Tremaine's flesh.

She was not doing this for Tremaine's own good.

She knew that everyone had a limit, and that

Tremaine would not give in even if he had been cut to the bone.

However, once that limit is crossed, he would not be able to hold it in.

She stopped 02 because she wanted Tremaine to give up faster.

02 understood Lessie's intentions and immediately lowered down the knife in his hand.

He led the wolf away.

The wolf was unwilling to leave and looked at Tremaine with predatory eyes.

Lessie said to Tremaine, "Your Excellency, you are really a warrior amongst men. You're able to bear the sight of your own flesh being cut and fed to a wolf. I'm afraid there is no man in this world who can match your courage and perseverance."

Lessie paused for a moment before speaking up again, "But, are you sure it is worth watching yourself die slowly for Nashaland? Don't you have your loved ones waiting for you? Will they be able to accept your death?"

Tremaine remained silent.

Blood gushed out from his shoulder. It looked rather terrifying.

Lessie continued, "Your Excellency, I'll give you one more night. Think about it carefully. If you still refuse to submit tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't be able take in a breath of air anymore. You'll have to die in the belly of a wolf."

Tremaine still said nothing.

Lessie smiled and casually said, "By the way, you were holding a wedding ceremony when we kidnapped you. Your dear wife must have been very anxious when she saw that you disappear, right? When you're dead, well kidnap her and torture her with the same way, okay?"

"How dare you!" Tremaine finally spoke. Even though he had suffered such a heavy injury on his shoulder, his voice was still sharp.

Lessie put on a false smile. "You can watch from hell and see if we're brave enough to do it to your wife."

Tremaine stared at Lessie and punctuated his words, "I will never let anyone hurt my woman."

Lessie said mildly, "Will you still be able to protect your woman when you're dead?"

Lessie tried to coax Tremaine, "The best way is to promise us that you'll let the town at the border get their independence from Nashaland. Once you give out that statement, we'll stop and you'll no longer be affected. You're still Nashaland's President. What's the point of throwing your life away for a piece of land?"

"The town at the border has always been an inseparable territory of Nashaland." Tremaine growled, "Stop daydreaming!"

Seeing that Tremaine had remained unmoved, Lessie also started to become a little impatient.

She said, "I won't say much to you anymore. Think about it carefully. This is the last chance I am giving you. If you still don't agree, then you'll just have to see your own flesh fed to the wolf."

It was only that day when Matthew learned that the wedding between Yesseca and Tremaine had been interrupted.

He went to Nashaland to visit Yesseca.

Originally, he had wanted to wait after Selina was done resting and come over with her, but Selina disagreed as she was worried about Yesseca and insisted that Matthew head over.

Selina even said to Matthew, "Don't tell Yesseca you're going. Give her a surprise."

Matthew didn't reply.

He was confused.

"Why?" Matthew asked.

Selina said meaningfully, "Think

about it. Yesseca has always been closed off and only tell us good news by not the bad. What if Tremaine treats her badly after their wedding? You need to go there as a surprise to find out how things really afe."

Matthew was speechless.

He didn't know what to say.

He said, "Don't worry, Tremaine is definitely not the kind of man who would treat his wife badly after he gets married. He'll treat Yesseea the way he used to, perhaps with even more love."

"That's not for sure," Selina muttered.

She pushed Matthew with her hand. "Anyway, just go. Stop talking nonsense."

Matthew couldn't help but laugh. He said, "I'll go, I'll be on my way now."

"Remember to make your arrival a surprise." Selina emphasized, "Don't tell Yesseca in advance."

Matthew promised, "Okay, okay. I will do as you say. Just relax."

That day, Matthew took a helicopter to Nashaland.

The helicopter couldn't land directly in front of Quartley Palace, and Matthew asked the pilot to stop at a landing deck. Then, he asked the driver to drop him off at the Quartley Palace.

He didn't expect to see a figure on the way to Quartley Palace.

And the figure was somewhat similar to Yesseca's.

Matthew asked the driver to pull over and realized that it was indeed Yesseca.

Matthew was about to stop Yesseca when he felt like something was amiss.

Tremaine had just married Yesseca. Logically speaking, as the wife of the President, Yesseca should not be traveling alone on the streets when she had many matters to attend to.

And looking at Yesseca's back, he somehow felt loneliness surrounding her.

Plus, there was a bag of groceries in her hand.

Yesseca grew up as a regular

citizen, and becoming theProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

president's wife wouldn't stop her

from being diligent. However, it was

weird of her to be shopping for groceries alone right after getting married.

Matthew put his guard up.

S

Instead of stopping Yesseca, he asked the driver to quietly follow Yesseca. Then, he saw Yesseca enter a shabby apartment building.

Yesseca carried her bags of grocery into an apartment building.

Matthew's brows furrowed tightly.

Yesseca used her key to open the door.

Ruth had gone to work and she had to cook alone.

Yesseca was about to store away her groceries in the kitchen when a sudden wave of fatigue hit her, and she ended up sprawled out on the couch.

The bag of groceries fell to her feet.

She stared at the groceries as some flashbacks started coming.

They were all of the days she had spent with Tremaine...
