Love Until Death Do Us Part ( Athena Dempsey )
Chapter 47

Chapter 47 

On the road, Kent filled Newman in on the call from Yolanda, “Ms. Abbott said your phone ended up with a woman, and she’s freaking out cuz she can’t reach you. 

Kent figured the woman with Newman’s phone was probably Athena, but in front of Newman, he didn’t dare to say or ask anything. 

Newman just asked, “Is Payne asleep?” 

“He is in the study, diving into that project Professor Rhine left him.” 

Newman reached out, his tone indifferent, “Hand over the Scorpion.” The medicine to treat Payne’s chill was something Kent always carried, just in case. 

Kent’s lips quivered slightly, and he couldn’t help but caution him, “Mr. Bradshaw, your body temperature’s a bit too high today. If you take Scorpion now, your body won’t be able to handle it. Plus, you inhaled that potion today. Until it’s fully out of your system, your blood won’t be suitable to act as a catalyst for his medicine.” 

Newman’s tone was cool, “Got it, I’ll detox the potion later.” 

Kent glanced back toward Sunny Haven and silently suggested, “Maybe hit up Ms. Dempsey for a detox?” 

Kent obviously knew about Athena ordering birth control pills with Newman’s read his look and scoffed with disdain. 

one. Newman 

Kent immediately pulled his head in, not daring to even make eye contact with Newman again. When Newman got back to Cozy Retreat, he took a shower, the cool water cascading down his toned muscles, following the contours of his body. 

The sound of running water filled the bathroom as he rid his body of the lingering toxins. Images of that woman’s graceful figure started to pop up in his mind, her delicate touch seemingly still lingering on his fingertips. 

When Newman snapped back to reality, he cursed under his breath, annoyed. After drying his hair, the man, dressed in a black bathrobe, stepped out of the bathroom. 

Kent took his blood, confirmed that the drug was fully metabolized, and then handed him Scorpion. 

Newman swallowed it, and his body temperature began to rise again. Kent collected his heart blood and had a servant take it to the kitchen. 

Kent applied some hemostatic ointment on Newman’s chest and bandaged his wounds. Newman instructed, looking at the bandages that had been removed. “Send the bandages I just took off to the medical facility to analyze what’s in the hemostatic medicine.” 

Kent acknowledged, “Got it.”

The man rose and entered the master bedroom, his body burning up so quickly that sweat soon soaked his bathrobe through. 

He stripped off the robe, clutching the amethyst bracelet, reciting some prayers, but all he could feel and think about was the cold touch of that woman. 

The next morning, at the crack of dawn, the sky was heavy with clouds, the rising sun hidden by the mist. At that moment, a line of black luxury cars arrived at the entrance of Golden Haven 

Inn. 

As the doormen moved to greet them, the car doors opened and out stepped suited professional bodyguards, their presence making the doormen freeze in place. 

Kent stepped out and showed their identification to the doormen. Recognizing the arrival of someone from the Bradshaw family in Everglade City, the doormen quickly bowed their heads in respect. 

Then Newman stepped out of the car, the dim morning light spilling over his striking features, his sharp eyes holding a chilling edge. 

A dozen bodyguards followed Newman through the hotel lobby towards the elevator. With a beep, the luxury suite door was opened from the outside. 

The lights turned on, and the person still in a slumber was startled by the synchronized footsteps, thinking it was all a dream. 

The Bradshaw family’s bodyguards burst into the bedroom, pulled off the covers, and hoisted a bare Zoey from the bed. 

At the time, Anna, who had been in bed with Zoey, opened her eyes to see a dozen burly men standing in the room. She immediately went pale with fright, her screams almost lifting the ceiling off. 

“Ah ah ah ah!! Who are you? Help! I can give you money! Just don’t come any closer!!” 

Anna’s screams were piercing. Kent stood at the bedroom door and said, “Ms. Dempsey, you have thirty seconds to get dressed, or we’ll have to get rough!” 

Anna, still in shock, recognized Kent, the mustachioed, squinty–eyed butler.from Newman’s side. Then she saw Zoey being restrained in a chair, and after the Bradshaw family’s bodyguards wrapped him in a bathrobe, they tied him and the chair together with a rope. 

“Let me go! Kent! Do you have any idea what you’re doing?!” Zoey looked ghastly as he lashed out at Kent. 

Kent responded firmly, “I’m carrying out Newman’s orders!” 

Zoey was clearly taken aback. Seeing Anna dressed, Kent stepped out and respectfully reported to Newman sitting in the living room, “Mr. Bradshaw, everyone inside is decent now.” 

Newman got up, he approached the bedroom door but didn’t enter, casting a cold glance at Anna before instructing Kent, “Go ahead.”

“Understood!” Kent gestured sharply, and two of the Bradshaw family’s bodyguards rushed forward, pinning Anna’s arms. 

“Anna!!” Zoey’s shout was futile; he couldn’t stop them. 

Kent pulled out a bottle of medicine from the inside pocket of his suit. He grabbed Anna’s chin, forcing her mouth open, and poured the medicine down her throat! 

“Mmm!” 

Anna tried to struggle, but her jaw was dislocated, leaving her in excruciating pain and unable to resist. 

Kent didn’t leave a single drop of the medicine as he forced it down Anna’s throat, then he snapped her dislocated jaw back into place with brute force. 

“Ahhh!” Anna cried, tears streaming down her face, the potion taking its forced journey down her throat as she gasped for air. 

Zoey was freaked out, eyes wide as saucers, totally clueless about the crazy stuff going down. right in front of him, he stammered, “Newman, what did you just make Anna swallow?” 

Newman’s voice was ice–cold, “She knows exactly what I’d feed her.” 

Anna’s face was ashen, her whole body shaking like a leaf. 

Was that the same potion Newman force–fed her? She just gave Newman a whiff of the stuff and now he poured a whole bottle down her throat?! 

“Mr. Bradshaw! I swear it wasn’t on purpose! My heart belongs to Zoey: I’m Zoey’s girl! I’m begging you! Please, cut me some slack!” 

If it weren’t for the two bodyguards gripping Anna’s arms, she’d be on her knees begging Newman for mercy. 

After slipping Newman the potion, Anna, scared of payback, had jumped into bed with Zoey pronto. But what was the point? She might as well not have bothered climbing into Zoey’s bed at all! 

Newman busted in with his crew, clearly not giving a rat’s ass about Zoey! His cold, merciless gaze landed on Zoey.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

His fingers, defined and long, toyed with a bracelet, his mind chanting prayers, his voice chilly as he laid it out for Zoey, “You can play the field all you like, but Athena, she’s the one you’ve got to put a ring on.”
