The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 186 - 182

Chapter 186: Chapter 182

I started to feel unwell, but my mind was telling me to bear with it. I believed James had already called the cops. If they could get here in time, I’d have a chance to escape.

But Jones was faster. After hearing his voice, I felt utterly hopeless.

"Eliana!" He roared with anger and anxiety

Suddenly, a knife was put to my throat. Someone threatened Jones, "Drink the bottle of water on the table, or I’ll kill her!"

I tried to open my eyes. My vision was blurry, but I could see Jones in the distance. He walked over to a table and drank from a bottle of water.

I wanted to stop him, but my voice was weak, "Jones..."

Once Jones finished the water, the man next to me bolted, and I heard the sound of the door locking.

Without a second’s hesitation, Jones ran to me and held me in his arms. It was only then that I could see his face clearly. His handsome face was filled with worry and anger.

"Jones, call the cops. The water... it was drugged..."I was burning up and could barely breathe.

"Drugged?" Jones glanced at the empty bottle.

I could smell his scent, like some kind of shower gel, and it felt like I was in a field of flowers

Was this how Damon felt when he was drugged and out of control?

Even though I didn’t have any romantic feelings for Jones, his charm was hard to resist. He was handsome, in good shape, and a real hunk.

I could feel that something was off with him too. He was radiating the same heat as me, and his eyes were getting dull.

"Jones, stay away from me!" I could hardly bear it anymore; my mind was filling with inappropriate images

But Jones didn’t let go of me. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he suddenly kissed me on the cheek

"I’m single!" I kept telling myself this, and then I mustered up the courage to push Jones to the ground and climbed on top of him, hastily pulling at his clothes.

Jones’s chest was heaving; he was trying to control himself just like me.

His usually calm eyes were now filled with madness. Just as I was about to give up resisting, there was a sound from outside the door.

Then came a loud bang!

The door couldn’t withstand the strong kick, and it was easily knocked down. Damon’s figure gradually became clear in the rising dust, and his voice stopped, "Eliana."

Jones and I were in a very awkward position, our clothes were disheveled.

The look on Damon’s face froze as he stared at Jones and me.

His hand slowly clenched into a fist

With Damon were others, including my parents, Luna, Sofia, Clara, Mitch Hebert, and Cooper, even Louis was there.

They all came to save me, but they didn’t expect to see this.

"Eliana!" My mother exclaimed in surprise.

Mitch quickly took off his jacket, and Luna ran over to cover me with it. Her eyes were on Jones, and while looking completely shocked, she asked, "Jones, what were you two doing...?"

Everyone was shocked. Jones seemed to have regained some clarity and moved me off him. I came to my senses a bit and tightly wrapped the jacket around me.

not knowing what to say in front of everyone.

Everyone gathered around. My father’s face was stern, and he didn’t say a word. He just took off his jacket and added another layer on me.

Damon stood at the door, motionless, like a statue. He was icy, looking completely lifeless. His eyes were colder than a blade.

I looked at him through the crowd, and then Jones spoke, "It’s my fault. I take responsibility."

As soon as he said this, Damon rushed over like a madman and punched him in the face. Blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Damon was silent. His eyes were red with fury; he pinned Jones to the ground and landed fist after fist.

Jones didn’t fight back and let Damon hit him.

"Damon, stop it! This is a misunderstanding!" Mitch and Cooper quickly stepped in to stop him.

Damon shook them off and continued to hit Jones.

I stepped in to stop him, "Damon, what are you doing? Are you trying to do?"

"Don’t touch me!" Damon roared at me, his eyes already moist.

"Both of us are single; is there a problem? Like I said, I’ll take responsibility if she’s willing." Jones wiped the blood from his lip, revealing a provocative smile on his face

Damon grabbed his collar, ready to throw another punch.

I immediately threw myself on Jones, ignoring everyone’s stares, "We were drugged; that’s why we acted like that. I’m also to blame, so you might as well kill me too!"

"You!" Damon looked at me in disbelief.

"Jones’s right, we’re both single. Since this happened, we might as well get married." I felt like my voice had changed, and the words came out coldly.

Luna squeezed my hand, "Eliana, don’t speak nonsense! Nothing happened between you two; it was just a hug. Don’t be impulsive!"

Mitch and Cooper also quickly tried to calm Damon down, "Everyone, calm down. Eliana was in danger, and Jones came to save her, so this must be a misunderstanding!"

Damon stared at me as his eyes slightly shook, revealing his emotional state.

He asked me, "Is this a misunderstanding?"

Jones was also looking at me. His face was full of bruises, and the smirk was gone. He was waiting for my answer.

I wanted to use this opportunity to completely cut ties with Damon.

"Today, I was brought here by Lewis and Ariel, and then Jones came to save me. We were indeed drugged, that’s why we behave that way.’’I began to explain, and Damon’s expression eased slightly.

"But this ain’t no misunderstanding." I changed the subject, bending down to help Jones up. "I’ve decided to give it a shot with Jones. Love can be nurtured over time, and from now on, he’s my boyfriend."

As soon as I finished speaking, everyone was taken aback, except for Jones, whose eyes gleamed with joy. He asked me in a low voice. "Really? Are you willing to give me a chance?"

I deliberately ignored Damon, smiling at Jones, "Yes. Look, you were the first one to come to my rescue today. It would be so unfair if I didn’t give you this chance. But whatever your folks are asking of you, you’ve gotta handle that yourself."

Jones couldn’t hide his excitement, and a big smile appeared on his face. "Okay, I’ll definitely sort it out. I won’t be like the others who just bring you harm."

Damon’s face filled with a rage and pain I’d never seen before, but he didn’t have a reason to throw punches anymore. Whether or not I chose to date Jones was entirely up to me.
