Riches in Disguise

"William, as long as you let me out, I promise I'll be a slave to you for the rest of our lives. No matter what you make me do, I'll do it. I'll even wash the toilet for you!"

I chuckled.noveldrama

"Roxanne, it looks like you haven't fully grasped who I am and what I'm capable of. If I wanted them to, I could get hordes of girls who are prettier and of higher social standing than you to clean my toilet. Why did you think I'd fancy you?"

"I..."

"Stay here and learn from your mistakes. If you do recall anything that has to do with Felicia, call me. If you can't, stop annoying me. If you do get on my nerves, I'l increase your sentence."

I waved my hand and said, "Take her away."

Roxanne turned to glance at me multiple times. However, I showed no sign of forgiveness. She could only leave, feeling utterly devastated.

After a while, Dylan was brought in. He didn't request to see me. I did so, because he was the last person to have seen Felicia, as well as the man who caused her accident and brush with death. My hatred for him couldn't be expressed with words alone.

His hair had been shorn off as well. His trendy hairstyle was replaced by a buzzcut.

He walked over in handcuffs, his eyes trained on the ground. I placed my hands on the table and glared at him.

After a few moments of silence, I said slowly, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"

"What do you want to hear? My confession? Or would you like me to sob and beg for you to let me go? Before I decided to lay hands on Felicia, I knew what kind of man you were. However, I thought that you thought of her as a mere plaything. I wasn't expecting you to commit to such a degree."

He smiled as he spoke. However, his smile was helpless and regretful. I knew that he wasn't regretting his wrongdoings. He only regretted messing with a man like me, who was more powerful than him.

When he would eventually be released, he would still be the horrible man who harmed others by doing whatever he felt like. He was even worse than Roxanne.

"Felicia isn't a plaything of mine. She's my girlfriend, whom I intend to marry." "Stop with that nonsense," he said.

"With that status of yours, did you think your family would accept a girl like her as their daughter-of-law? Your feelings for her might be genuine. However, there's no way that you'll be able to marry her. No way. Don't pretend like you're so in love with her. You can do anything to me. I admit defeat."

He seemed like he no longer gave a damn about earthly matters. It pissed me off. I wanted to exact revenge against him.

"Do you? Do you admit defeat? Would you still think that way in ten years when you're released from prison to a bankrupt father and a sister who suffered the same fate as Felicia?"

When he heard this, Dylan's head jerked up. "William, what are you trying to do?" He was scared. When one exposed their vulnerability, they were basically ruined.

I leaned back in my chair and smiled. "Haven't you already guessed my plan? If not, why would you get so worked up?"

"William, this was my plan. I'm warning you, don't get innocent people involved in this, especially my family. They knew nothing about this!"

I replied stoically, "That's up to how I'm feeling."

"You! Alright. You want me to beg you for mercy and apologise with tears running down my cheeks? I'll satisfy you!"

He knelt before me immediately.
