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.
