A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Bring Her To Twilight Paradise

Avery wanted Darlene to change her clothes, but he still sat next to her. He

did not get out of the car or look away, but just looked at her as if nothing had happened.

Darlene struggled to get up. Even though she knew that Avery was

deliberately making things difficult for her, she still frowned and said, “Can you go out first?”

“As you said, you should not have any interest in me, right? I am like a dead

fish.”

Avery looked very displeased. He hated it the most when Darlene’s words. were full of sarcasm.

Avery believed a sinner like Darlene should be begging and fawning over him. And he also thought Darlene had no right to order him.

So Avery sneered, “If you don’t want to change in front of me, then go out and get changed. I’m not your assistant. What obligation do I have to please you?”

Even though not many people were around the garage, there were cameras everywhere. No matter how much Darlene despised Avery, she would not really go outside the car to change her clothes.

Darlene felt embarrassed, but she still pretended to be indifferent and opened the bag. “Okay, Mr. Gallard, if you don’t mind, I don’t mind either.”

The black dress just happened to be her size. It was so fit that Darlene looked even sexier and slimmer. After Darlene changed her clothes and opened the door, she got out of the car with a calm expression.

Avery stared at her back as she left. Everything about Darlene made him.

mad. Her low–cut dress revealed her back, her breasts, and her butt.

Darlene had a very tempting body. She got the curves and the face. As she wore no more makeup, her dress happened to make her sexier. Somehow, she looked sexy and innocent at the same time.

When Avery and Darlene had just married, Avery knew best how eye- catching she was in a low–cut dress. So he always told Darlene that such dresses were not suitable for her and never allowed her to wear them when

going out.

The current black dress was deliberately chosen by Avery, but at that moment, Avery only thought that Darlene was a dissolute woman by any

means.

”

She just got changed and was so anxious to get out of the car. Is she so

impatient?

Leaving the garage and entering the elevator, they went upstairs to the private room. Along the way, all the men in the corridor followed them with

their gazes.

Some drunk men even deliberately swayed and leaned toward Darlene,

wanting to rub her shoulder.

Avery put on a long face. He grabbed Darlene’s arm and threw her against

the wall. He said angrily, “Are you really so thirsty for men? If I were not

here, would you immediately throw yourself into their arms?”

Darlene did not say anything. It was the first time she had come to a place like that. She knew clearly what Avery had prepared for her. She pretended to be calm, but it was still impossible for her to not be afraid.

Seeing that she did not reply, Avery took it as a yes. A few men were still

steps.

Then, he pushed open the door to a private room beside him and threw Darlene in without any hesitation. “If that’s what you want, and you’re so impatient, then I will allow you to do so.”

It was still daytime, and many nightclubs in Baltimore were not allowed to

open.

However, Twilight Paradise belonged to the Gallard Group. With Avery’s order, no matter if it was noon or midnight, they had to stay open at any

time.

There was a thick curtain in the private room to prevent the light from

entering. So it was dark inside, and one could even smell sex in the

atmosphere.

Around six men sat inside, and a few young girls with gorgeous makeup were drinking with them.

As soon as Avery entered, the crowd immediately quieted down. Some were flattering and said, “Mr. Gallard is here. Come over here and sit down.”

Others all got up and could not help but secretly glance at Darlene.

Compared with other girls in the private room, Darlene was obviously sexy in a different way. Men who had been messing around naturally liked innocent and beautiful women like Darlene.

Dereon Ellis, the eldest son of the Ellis family, kept eyeing Darlene. The Ellis family was one of the top estate dealers in Baltimore. And that gave Dereon the courage to ask, “This is your woman, right? Mr. Gallard, you are really lucky.”

Avery sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed, and he swirled a glass of wine under the light. Hearing that, Avery sneered, “Not really. She’s unworthy.”

As soon as he said that, the few men in the private room who craved Darlene immediately became bolder.

Since Darlene was not Avery’s woman, they figured that she must be the play toy that Avery brought for fun. Meanwhile, they thought Darlene must

somehow offend Avery.

The big–bellied middle–aged man, Douglas, immediately said, “Such beauty is really rare. Mr. Gallard, you have great taste.”

Avery smiled and looked at Darlene, who was standing blankly. “Ms. Garcia, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Nixon are both praising you. Didn’t you hear them? Don’t you want to go over and toast?”

When the men in the private room heard that, they felt that there was a

chance for them to get close to Darlene. So they all pushed away the girls in

their arms.

Afraid that they would miss such a good opportunity, they all rushed to talk,

“Ms. Garcia, you are indeed beautiful and have a nice body. All the girls in

Twilight Paradise are said to be beautiful, but they are still no match for you,

Ms. Garcia.”

Dereon and Douglas were both overjoyed when they saw Darlene coming

over to toast.

Douglas even took Darlene’s advantage when she toasted him. He secretly touched her hand while his eyes narrowed into a line. His eyes couldn’t be seen, but one could tell that Douglas was overjoyed.

Avery noticed that and clenched his hand while holding the wine glass,

almost crushing it.

The light was dim. Every man’s gaze had already fixed on Darlene, thinking that she was leftover for Avery. Naturally, no one noticed the anger on Avery’s face.

Avery drank up all the wine in his glass. Seeing that the men in the room were all persuading Darlene to drink with them, he sneered.

“Ms. Garcia is not someone an ordinary person can deal with. She likes playing wild with excitement the most. A mere one or two men can’t satisfy

her.”

When Avery finished his words, he deliberately asked in confusion, “Ms. Garcia, are your injuries healed yet?”

Then the men carefully examined Darlene and discovered that there were large wounds on her neck and left shoulder.

The dress was low–cut and had no sleeves. As long as one looked closely, one would be able to see the large burns on Darlene’s body.

But when Avery said that, the wounds on Darlene’s body naturally caused

others to think about bold sex.

When Douglas heard that, his eyes became even brighter, as if he had

obtained a treasure.

In his middle age, Douglas had poor performance in sex, but he always liked to play some disgusting and perverted tricks on women.

Just now, when he noticed Darlene’s soft and tender skin, Douglas was worried that she would not be able to endure those painful tricks. But Avery proved that Darlene was a perfect choice for Douglas, who wished that he could immediately take Darlene away and play with her.

Avery deliberately instigated them. “What? You guys have already seen her. Are you guys being polite because I am here and don’t dare to play?”

Avery spoke and stood up. As the conversation went to that point, Avery decided to leave Darlene alone among these men. He did not believe that she would still be able to remain calm and not beg him.

He walked out directly. “I happen to have something to do, so please take good care of Ms. Garcia.”

In the end, Darlene was a little flustered. Although she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound, Darlene could not help but want to follow Avery.

She raised her foot and was about to walk out the door when her arm was

pulled by Douglas.

Douglas laughed, “Beautiful girl, don’t go. Don’t worry, I like you. Tell me

what you like, and I will definitely have fun with you.”

Darlene was in a hurry to shake off Douglas‘ hand, but Avery had already gone out and closed the door of the private room. He did not even look back.

Meanwhile, Douglas looked at the wounds all over Darlene’s body, and his eyes turned red. His desire to abuse others immediately rose.

Seeing Darlene struggle, Douglas became more and more interested. He got up, grabbed Darlene, and pushed her onto the sofa. As he went on, the cigarette butt that was still burning in his hand just happened to fall on Darlene’s injured shoulder.

Darlene let out a scream and shrank back to avoid it.

Others were all out to play, and they were not willing to admit that they actually didn’t want to play. Moreover, Darlene was sent by Avery. Naturally, no one dared to speak up for her. So they all just laughed.

The cigarette burned a new wound on Darlene’s shoulder. In her despair, Darlene raised her hand and slapped Douglas hard.

Douglas did not expect Darlene to dare to make a move. He was slightly stunned, grabbing Darlene’s hair and throwing her on the ground.

A wine bottle on the table shattered on the ground in the chaos. Darlene fell, and the glass shards directly pierced her shoulders and arms.

Her wounds that had just scabbed were cut open. Half of Darlene’s arm was a bloody mess, and her forehead was covered in sweat. Her face quickly turned

pale.
