Chapter 50 CHAPTER 50
The day after that was another exciting day.
Sonia made it to the front page of the entertainment news, making people speculate that she was one of Jim's new favorites.
Lying leisurely on the balcony of the villa by the bay, Daniel put the newspaper he had just finished reading on the marble round table.
With a glass of champagne in his hand, Jim leaned against the handrail and said, "I thought you were playing a game of cat and mouse around the world, but I didn't expect that you would be hiding out here."
"The most dangerous place is also the safest place." A smile spread over Daniel's mouth. He had never been one to play by rules.
"The way you're dealing with things this time isn't your style." Jim squinted his eyes and looked at him. He knew exactly what kind of person Daniel was. They grew up together, so he believed that he knew him best.
Daniel said nothing.
The reflection of the sun on the ocean was distorted by the spinning waves, turning it into shimmering golden spots. Daniel stared at the sea in silence, the golden waves reflecting in his deep black eyes.
Jim smoothed out his chestnut hair which had been tousled by the sea breeze and said, "I want to make a bet with someone. I bet that the little thing in Valery's belly is not yours." He made his tone sound deliberately casual, as if he was just making a joke.
Daniel picked up the glass of champagne on the table and took a sip. "Aren't you afraid of losing?"
A wicked smile appeared on Jim's face, as he slowly approached Daniel from behind. He put his slender fingers on Daniel's shoulder, pressed his chest to his back and said, "You'd feel very uncomfortable if a woman touched you like this. How could you go on to do other things?"
Daniel said nothing.
Of course, Jim knew him very well.
An unusual silence filled the room.

Meanwhile, Sonia was busy cooking in the apartment.
All of a sudden, the entrance guard suddenly rang her and told her to get the parcel that had been delivered for her downstairs.
She thought that the buttons she had ordered online had arrived, so she told Finney, who was lying on the sofa and putting on a face mask, that she was going out for a while, and left the room.
Outside the apartment stood a man in a courier uniform. The night was dark, and he wore his hat low, so his face could not be seen clearly.
He handed over the package to her.
As Sonia was signing the package, someone suddenly stretched his hand out from behind her and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Before she could even struggle to get away from him, she lost her consciousness.
It was a silent and dark room.
A beautiful woman walked in with four bodyguards wearing black behind her.
She was wearing a gorgeous dress that was designed by Chanel, which perfectly covered her slightly swollen belly.
She looked at the unconscious girl on the ground, her eyes sinister and cold. It was as if she wanted to swallow her alive at once.
As soon as she received the anonymous e-mail, she immediately rushed to this City.
She had been looking for him all over the world, but as it turned out, he never even left the country.
What was more surprising to her was that there was a woman beside him now.
He had never looked at another woman aside from Leila. Now, he was even living with one!
'She is such a seductress. I won't let her get out of here alive," Valery thought to herself.
A man in black walked up to them and immediately recognized Sonia after taking a look at her. "Lady Valery, this is the beautiful designer on the show Beauty on Runway. She is very popular nowadays, and is in the headlines every day," he said.
"That bitch! Tie her up!" Valery ordered in a stern voice.
The two other men in black next to them immediately took out the rope and tied Sonia onto the chair.
The woman took a seat on the sofa and raised her hand to touch her swollen belly. "Take some ice water and pour it over her to wake her up," she said.
One of the men took out a bucket of ice water from the freezer, then he poured it over Sonia's head like a waterfall. Her body shivered violently in reflex as her eyes bolted open.
Seeing the cruel and gloomy faces in front of her, Sonia couldn't help but feel extremely frightened. She struggled to stand up, but she immediately found that she had been tied up. "Who are you?"
Did they kidnap her to blackmail her?
She didn't have any money!
Valery slowly got up from the sofa and walked up to her. Then, she raised her hand and slapped Sonia across the face four times. If she hadn't been afraid that she would hurt the baby in her tummy, she would have surely beaten and kicked her to death.
Sonia's face swelled up at once, and blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth to her jaw, and onto the apron she was wearing. She spat on the ground and said, "You wicked woman! You should do good things for the sake of the baby in your belly!"
The corners of Valery's mouth twitched, and a cold look flashed across her eyes. "James, give her a lesson," she ordered. Following her order, the dark-skinned man beside her walked forward, kicked the chair over, and kicked Sonia's stomach hard.
The sharp pain almost made Sonia faint.
Just as James was about to kick her for the second time, the tall and skinny man standing next to them suddenly stopped him. "My lady, she is Mr. Daniel's woman. Just let her off with a warning, or else it will be difficult to explain this to Mr. Daniel," he said to Valery. The mere thought of Daniel made the man shiver.
In Dragon City, the moment people from the government and underworld heard the name "Daniel", they would start trembling with fear.
He was cold, cruel, and ruthless!
And if you did something to offend him, you would regret ever having been born into this world.
Valery simply gave him a stern look and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
The tall and skinny guy just pursed his lips. In his mind, he thought, 'Of course you are not afraid. You have a powerful backing, but what about us?'
Suddenly, Daniel bursted in through the door, almost breaking it down!
Sonia was fortunate that she had carried along the phone he had given to her few months ago, which had a tracker.
He was shocked to see Valery and more surprised to see Sonia tied up.
Without wasting any time at all, he proceeded to untie her and glared at Valery and her guards who didn't dared to stop him.
He hugged Sonia tightly. At the same time, Sonia held on to his clothes and stared at Valery.
'Baron!'
She heard that name clearly just now.
Enemies always found a way to meet again. At last, fate had led her to meet her enemy again.
Like mother, like daughter. This woman was just as vicious and brazen as her mother. She was obviously willing to do just about anything to get into a man's bed.
"Let's go, Dan!" Although Sonia was very weak, she made sure to say his name loudly and very affectionately, as if to declare war on the woman in front of them with the last bit of her strength!
"Okay." He held Sonia in his arms like she was a treasure he had lost and recovered.
Valery was so furious that her eyes almost popped out. "Dan, you are not allowed to leave!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you tell me what to do?" He cast a cold glance at her. Valery trembled with fear and instinctively stepped behind the men in black.
Then, he shot a cold look at the four hit men in front of Valery. "Don't let me see their bodies ever again," Daniel said to his men.
"Yes, boss." The men in black behind him looked murderous.
Valery's four guards were so scared that they could barely stand on their legs.
The tall and thin man quickly knelt down in front of Daniel and begged, "Mr. Daniel, I didn't do anything. I didn't even touch this lady." He pointed at the two men on his left as he continued, "I wasn't involved in the kidnapping. They two were the ones who kidnapped her, and James was the one who kicked her. I tried to stop them, but they didn't listen to me. I was just about to inform you about this when you arrived. If you don't believe me, you can ask..." Before he could finish his words, Daniel kicked James, and he was thrown three meters back. He hit the wall hard and fell on the ground with a heavy thud. He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
Valery hastily covered her belly with her hands as if she was frightened of being kicked as well.
Sonia's eyes fell on her belly.
Was that unborn child really his?
