Spoil My Lovely Wife

Chapter 75: Thomas’s Trap

When Jessica followed Louis into a bar which was known as a wine cellar, she didn’t expect that there

were lots of people from different countries chatting and laughing.

She could smell the fragrance of various kinds of wine.

“Hi, Vincent. It’s has been a long time!” The man with red hair greeted Louis in not very good English.

He was the owner of the bar.

Louis was a regular visitor and he pursed his lips slightly and nodded. He then talked with the man in

Spanish.

And the owner of the bar was laughing happily.

Louis turned around and said to Jessica, “wait for me here, I’ll be back soon.”

Then he followed the man with red hair into a room.

Though Jessica didn’t understand Spanish, people here would speak English.

The man just called Louis “Vincent”, which might be his nickname. Jessica touched the pedant

subconsciously and realized that “V” was for “Vincent”.

But she was confused that why he carved his name on the pedant?

Her heart seemed like being hit by something and it was pounding so fast.

She didn’t dare to think about it.

Jessica walked to the bar and asked the bartender for a glass of wine in English.

She was drinking with curiosity about the people here who were from all around the world while waiting

for Louis as well.

“Hi, beauty. I’m Thomas. I haven’t seen you before. Are you new to here?”

A young man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked over to Jessica holding a glass of wine and Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

speaking English fluently.

Jessica glanced at him and nodded politely. She had seen too many handsome guys but Thomas

wasn’t her cup of tea.

“Well, I come here almost every day. Is the man who was standing next to you your husband?” Thomas

was enthusiastic even though Jessica showed no interest in him, he kept smiling at her. Then he took a

seat next to her.

Jessica shook her head and told him not.

“Fantastic! So, I’ve got a chance!” His eyes suddenly brightened.

They had a talk and Jessica knew that Thomas was an illegitimate child. His mom was Spanish and his

dad was British. He lived with his mom when he was a kid. But his dad would only go back to Spain

and pay a visit to them a few times a year.

Thomas shared with her his stories. These twenty years, he didn’t give up but tried harder even though

he had been through so many hardships.

Thomas’s experience reminded her of her life in the past.

They had the same misfortune sympathize with each other so that Jessica showed some interest in

him.

“You pedant is so shiny…”

Thomas was shocked when he found her pendant was so shiny and then asked, “can I have a look at

it?”

Jessica raised her eyebrows and said, “Sure.”

Then he was holding the pedant and had a careful look at it and he was a bit surprised. “It’s a high

quality steel made by VQ. How did you get it?”

“High quality steel?” Jessica didn’t understand and asked, “What is that?”

Thomas gave a shocked look at her and chimed, “don’t you know that? High quality steel is a kind of

building material. Though it is normal and doesn’t worth much, yours is VQ high quality steel, it can be

more expensive than any diamonds!”

Jessica’s finger couldn’t help trembling and wide-eyed finding that was so unbelievable. She

murmured, “Is that worth that much?”

“Of course! Though I am not working in construction industry, in Barcelona, construction is our soul. So,

even though we don’t work in this field, we have to know about it. VQ was a talented constructor in

Barcelona. Ten years ago, he created a myth in European architecture but then he suddenly

disappeared.”

He was so excited when he mentioned VQ.

Ten years ago, VQ had been a hit in European architecture. Nearly everyone admired that talented

constructor but suddenly he disappeared. No one knew where he was. Some people said that he was

back to his hometown; some people said that he went to America and others even said that he

committed suicide… Everyone had their own guessing and that was a mystery in the construction

industry.

Jessica was in great shock.

If the one who Thomas mentioned was Louis, she had underestimated him.

“Are you sure that VQ high quality steel is worth a lot?” Jessica asked carefully and she was excited.

Thomas’s eyes brightened and he grinned, “I should have a careful look at it again.”

Then he got closer to her and raised his hand and said, “If your pedant is genuine, it will be invaluable!”

When he finished his words, Jessica was so excited and delighted that she though Louis was so

generous to give her such a priceless pendant as a gift.

However, she didn’t expect that when she was immersed in the joy, she smelled a strange but strong

fragrance suddenly…

Then she drew a blank…

After a second, she stared at Thomas who she found his face became more and more blurred. Then

she lost consciousness.

......

They got in a Wine Cellar. “Vincent, we both love wines. As long as I’ve got something good, I will of

course share with you.” The boss of the bar, that man with red hair moved a few boxes of wine from the

wine garage and laughed, “I prepared it for you last year but you were too busy. But I knew you for so

many years; I haven’t seen you take any girls here. She is beautiful. Did you guys married?”

Louis raised his lips slightly and answered, “Not yet.”

Then he took out a bottle of wine from the box and had a look at it.

“You need to keep an eye on her since such a beautiful and pure girl can be so easy to be hooked up

by others.”

Louis was holding the bottle tighter and peeked at the man with red hair, “beautiful and pure girl?”

“Of course. Vincent, don’t tell me you don’t agree with me. Her eyes are so pure and clean. Lots of men

would so eager to get a woman like that…”

A lot of men would be eager to get her?

Louis’s heart was pounding faster suddenly.

When they came out from the wine cellar, the man with red hair laughing and talking with Louis, “I will

ask someone to move those wines to your car. Remember to invite me to your wedding party if you get

married with that beauty…”

Louis didn’t say anything but pursed his lips.

Getting married meant a lot to him and it was like a heavy burden.

He glanced around the bar but he was so worried that when he didn’t see her.

She was missing.

......

The slum in Barcelona was a dirty basement.

“Hurry up! Help them get dressed! We are running out of time. The show will start soon!”

There was a disgusting smell of decomposing in the wet, dirty and dark basement.

Jessica woke up feeling dizzy.

She opened her drowsy eyes and she felt a bit dizzy.

Then she saw that there were five unconscious ladies with good body shape and different complexions

lying on the ground.

There were couples of strong and muscular Spanish men standing in the middle of those ladies who

had lost their consciousness. They were roaring in Spanish.

A few Spanish women with a stooping figure nodded their heads feeling frightened.

Then they squatted down and helped those ladies who were in a coma get dressed.

One of the women went over to Jessica.

Jessica was so scared.

Even though she began to recover consciousness, she was still too weak to rebel.

All she could do was to watch her dress being torn by that woman and dressed her in some strange

clothing rudely.

After a while, the door of the basement was opened.

There was a tall and handsome young man with blonde hair and blue eyes walking in.

Jessica was in astonishment when she found he was Thomas!

She felt so hard to make a sound with her husky voice.

The woman who was dressing Jessica was scared when she found Jessica was awake and she

shouted, “Oh no! Boss, she is awake…”

Thomas raised his eyebrows and walked closer to Jessica.

He lifted his foot and kicked her on the ground gently.

And then he spoke in English, “You awake, but that’s useless.”

He looked different from what he was in the bar. Now, he looked terribly evil.

Jessica was gnashing her teeth and it had never occurred to her that she would be trapped by him.

She was in a rage when she found that the necklace was gone.

Then she roared at him furiously, “Thomas! You are such an asshole! Give my necklace to me right

now!”

“Keep cursing me! No one can help you out anyway!” Then he laughed out loud and took out the

necklace from his pocket and shook it in front of her. “The necklace is a fake! I’ve checked it. VQ hasn’t

made such kind of necklace ever. So it is just nothing but a useless necklace!”

He tossed it to Jessica when he finished his words.

When the necklace with a pendant in a strip shape hit her chest, she felt a bit painful…

She took a long breath and tried so hard to move her body and then raised her head to catch the

necklace with her mouth.

Even though it was not worth a cent, she remembered clearly that Louis had told her that never took off

the necklace without his permission.

It was late at night.

All nature was hushed in Barcelona.

However, the underground plaza on the Fitro block was still bustling with noise and excitement.

Around the square, there was full of men from all over the world.

In the center of the square, there were five giant fire pillars in which there was flare coming out from the

top. That was not the real fire.

Those men around were so excited that they couldn’t control themselves, because there would be an

exciting and breath-taking bullfighting show tonight.

“Yoho!’

There was thunderous applause and people there were screaming and whistling. All of a sudden, the

underground square became bustling.

Bullfight day had been a day of celebration in Spain.

However, there was growing opposition towards killing animals; therefore, the tradition of Bullfight had

been canceled.

But it was a heavy blow to those warriors who love bullfighting.

Therefore, there were still lots of people like Thomas still loving bullfighting.

There would be a secret Bullfight tonight.
