Chapter 21
The car ride lasted an hour.
Nathan brought Suzanne to the entrance of Imperial Heights.
It was a villa area where the most important people of Norvania lived, such as the country’s leaders, generals, officials, scientists, engineers, astronauts, or key people under protection. Nathan stopped the car. Then, he told Suzanne, “Get out of the car first.”
Suzanne was shocked as she looked at the words “Imperial Heights” carved on the entrance. She finally realized that Nathan had brought her to a place where normal people would
never be able to enter.
She started to feel nervous. Then, she unbuckled the seatbelt, got out of the car, and walked over to Nathan’s side.
Two soldiers who were on guard duty approached them. One of them took the ID that Nathan handed them and glanced at it.
Then, they saluted him. “Good day to you, General Morrison.”
Nathan nodded.
The soldiers took out some advanced scanning technology and checked the car.
After the scan, they gestured for Nathan to enter. “You may enter, General Morrison.”
Nathan said, “She will be living here from now on. Please record her information.”
Suzanne was nervous. She waved her hand and refused. “There’s no need for that, I
Before she could finish talking, the soldiers had already brought over a machine.
“We’l
be recording your fingerprint and doing a retinal scan, so it’ll be more convenient when you go in and out of here.”
Suzanne didn’t have the chance to refuse. The soldiers walked her through how to do it and recorded her details in the system.
She felt a little helpless as she got back into the car.
Then, Nathan drove them into the grounds of Imperial Heights. Throughout the entire journey, Suzanne felt uneasy.
The car ride lasted for around ten minutes before they arrived at a two–story detached villa -Sudvilla.
There were soldiers guarding the gates of the villa, too.
Suzanne scanned her surroundings as she entered the living room. The villa didn’t look as luxurious as the Morrison Residence. However, the decor was grand and majestic.
In the place of a television, there were shelves filled with books. There were probably thousands of different books in the living room. It created an atmosphere perfect for reading.
Suzanne liked the design of the villa.
As she was immersed in the comfortable environment, Nathan suddenly said, “My room and Sally’s room are on the second floor. There are several guest rooms on the first floor. Feel free to take your pick.”
He promised they would live like a married couple, but he overestimated his self–control. He almost lost control of himself when he thought about the hug that morning when half of Suzanne’s body was pressed against him.
It was best if they just slept in different rooms.
Nathan’s words seemed to stab Suzanne’s heart. She came back to her senses from the shock.
His room and Sally’s room? So, the two of them had been living here together?
This was Sally’s home. Nathan had brought his wife to his mistress‘ home. It was very humiliating for her.
Suzanne felt insulted. She said bitterly, “I shouldn’t stay here. Sally will be mad if she finds out.”
Nathan also realized that Sally would throw a fit, but that wasn’t important.
“It’s fine. She’s just a very childish person. I’ll handle it.”
Nathan went to sit on the couch.
Sally was childish? Suzanne could sense the love in his tone, and it made her feel uncomfortable.
But she didn’t say anything as she thought about the fact that she could be released from this depressing marriage after one more month.
She went into her room and closed the door.
She was so upset that she felt weak all over. She leaned on the door and took some deep breaths. Her eyes became misty as she looked at the balcony.
The man she loved for three years actually loved another woman.
Her affection probably meant nothing to Nathan. Maybe he even felt disgusted by it.
She felt pain in her chest. So, Suzanne raised her hand and grabbed her chest tightly, so tightly that her shirt creased.
