Chapter 541: Transaction

Ellie chuckled and quickly drank her coffee. She pulled him into the kitchen and said, “Of course we’ll
do it together!”

Soon, the house was filled with the aroma of the curry. Ellie took a deep breath and said, “Hubby, your
culinary skills are fantastic. It’s better than mine.”

“Of course. I lived alone for so long and picked up some survival skills.” Kayden had to be humble and
not outshine her too much. After all, Ellie could even cut her finger when cutting a potato.

“You’re much better than me,” Ellie said as a matter of fact.

“Flattery will get you nowhere. Get out of the kitchen, leave these to me.” Kayden chased her out of the
kitchen. Her presence was a distraction as he was constantly aroused by her.

Ellie sat on the sofa and enjoyed looking at Kayden as he continued to prepare the dishes. She sipped
on the aromatic coffee and enjoyed the clattering of the kitchen wares. She took in the delicious
fragrance of the different dishes cooked by him and started to grin. How blissful her life was when
being pampered by someone.

Her cellphone started to ring and she quickly took it out of her handbag. It was Nico.

“Ellie, where are you?” Nico asked.

“I’m at Kayden’s house,” Ellie replied.

“Quickly get online for a look. Something happened. Those photos had emerged again.” Nico said
anxiously.

“What?!” Ellie was shocked and asked, “Can’t be. Weren’t they deleted the last time?”



“Someone released it again. And this time they spread quicker than the past.” Nico said.

Ellie panicked and ended the call. She quickly ran to Kayden’s room to turn on the laptop. She got onto
the major social media websites and saw the headlines, “Girl next door or the porn star? Exposure of
young celebrity’s porno shoots.”

The number of reposts was rising and hit 80 in a short matter of hours. Some people even attached
other pictures. There were pictures of her kissing her ex-boyfriend and having sex. Although the private
areas were masked, it was obvious that the woman in the pictures was her.

“Honey, authentic spaghetti is served.” Kayden bought a plate over. Ellie turned to look at him and her
tears started to flow.

Kayden was shocked and quickly placed down the plate and asked her what had happened. Ellie
pointed at the screen and cried sorrowfully.

Kayden looked and his expression turned gloomy.

‘Damn you Saniyah, how dare you hurt my woman.’ He fumed and thought to himself.

“Honey, it’s alright, I’m here. I’ll help you resolve this.” Kayden wiped Ellie’s tears and took out his
cellphone. He called Kerr, “Kerr, gather the boys and meet at the hall in 15 minutes. Find me that
hacker. Ellie’s photos are being released again.” Kerr immediately made the arrangements.

Kayden hung up the call and Ellie rushed over to him and said anxiously, “Hubby, previously were you
the one who helped me delete the photos?”

Kayden nodded, “Kerr informed me that something had happened to you. I knew that you wanted to be
a celebrity. If the photos continued to spread, then your dreams of stardom would crash. That’s why I
found someone to resolve it.” It did not matter to him if she could become a celebrity. He was able to



take good care of her. He could not accept other men looking at nude pictures of his woman. He would
be overcome with rage whenever he thought about other men looking at her beautiful body.

Ellie was so touched that she cried even more. They quarrelled at that time and she thought that he did
not want her anymore.

“So, rest assured that I’ll resolve this for you. I’ll go out now and you just be good and eat what I
cooked. Thereafter have a beauty nap. Everything will be resolved when you wake up.” Kayden
assured her and brought her to the piping hot spaghetti. He picked up his jacket and left in a hurry.

Saniyah’s hands and legs were tied up. Her blindfold was removed and she started to mumble as her
mouth was gagged.

“Release her.” Kayden sat at a dimly lit corner of the room as he continued to smoke a cigarette.

Saniyah’s eyes adjusted to the light and then looked in fear at the men, “Who are you, what do you
want?”

Kerr scoffed, “Saniyah, how dare you repeatedly harass our boss’s woman?”

“I didn’t, I didn’t do anything!” Saniyah was terrified.

“Oh really? Are you saying that those photos were not released by you?” Kerr shoved a laptop in her
face and showed her the social media headlines.

Saniyah took a deep breath and trembled as she denied, “No! It wasn’t me!”

“Ha! Who else could it be?” Kerr slapped her forcefully.

Saniyah was dazed from the slap and her lips started to bleed. She shook her head and explained, “It’s
not me! I’m innocent. You’ve caught the wrong person. Don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me!”



“Kill you? Are you worthy of us killing you?” Kerr scoffed and ordered his men, “Bring her to the
dungeon.”

Two of his men dragged Saniyah as she tried to struggle. They slapped her a couple of times before
she quietened down and did what she was told.

Saniyah was forced to walk down a narrow corridor that had barred cells at the end. When Saniyah
walked past the first cell, she saw a woman with long hair inside it. She was slender and stared right at
her.

…

Saniyah was creeped out by her stare and gasped when she looked down. She did not have any feet!
That woman had no feet! There were two steel ingots joined to her ankles and fastened to the ground.

“Do you know how she became this way?” Kerr said frostily, “The two steel shoes were heated till they
were red hot, and then her feet were placed inside and the steel shoes hammered shut. Then she’ll be
kept standing in place until she dies. All this woman did was to topple my boss’s teacup.” Kerr
emphasized when he saw Saniyah tremble. He then brought her to the second cell. Inside this cell, a
person was lying on a bed. The person was bald and she could not tell if the person was a male or
female.

Saniyah was terrified when she saw this person. This person was curled up and facing outwards. Many
insects crawled around and into the nose. This person was still alive and made snarling noises.

Kerr exclaimed, “This person’s offence was greater. She ruined my boss’s shirt when she ironed it…”

That was her fate for ruining a shirt? How severe would be her punishment? Saniyah almost fainted.

Kerr saw that he had achieved the desired effect and brought her back to the room.



At this point, Saniyah’s knees were wobbly and her face was pale from fright. She knelt in front of
Kayden to beg for mercy, “Sir, I was wrong to offend Ms. Jones. Please forgive me. The photos were
previously released by me but I only did it once and it was quickly deleted by someone. I did not
release any more thereafter. Today’s photos were not posted by me. I will die a terrible death if I am
lying.”

This man was terrifying. To think that she had wanted to capture the heart of this man. How foolish was
she?

Kerr kicked her and said, “Who could it be if not you? How dare you lie? Are you forcing me to send
you down to the dungeon to accompany those people?”

“No, please no!” Saniyah begged and sobbed, “It’s really not me. I swear that I only did it once. Today’s
photos were not posted by me.”

Kerr could not bring himself to mistreat her any further. He always had a soft spot for women. Those
people in the dungeon had put on special make-up and disguise to frighten her. These people were not
so sadistic.

Kerr said softly to Kayden, “Boss, I think it's enough. She didn’t need to lie.”

“Who else has these photos other than you?” Kayden looked coldly at Saniyah.

“The publicist company! I gave them the photos and they have a set of them!” Saniyah suddenly
remembered.

“Check who had gone to this company,” Kayden ordered and immediately one of the men went out as
ordered.

About ten minutes later, the man came back and said softly to Kayden, “Boss, I found out, it’s…”



Kayden’s expression suddenly turned dark and he clenched his fists tightly.

Kayden stood up and wanted to leave. Kerr quickly asked, “Boss, what should we do with her?”

Kayden glanced, “Let her disappear with that publicist company.”

Kerr nodded and knew that Kayden was really furious.

Saniyah passed as soon as she heard the word ‘disappear’.

…

Ellie thought that Kayden would swiftly settle the incident before the major news outlets picked up the
scandal. Unexpectedly, just half an hour after Kayden left, Ellie received a call.

“How did you get my number?” Ellie remembered that she did not give Jordan her contact number.

“Don’t forget that I’m a journalist.” He replied immediately.

How were journalists able to get the contact numbers of private citizens? They were not the police!

She asked in return, “What’s the matter?”

“I want to ask you if you know about the nude photos that were released.” He asked directly.

“I have no idea what you are referring to.” Ellie tried to cover it up.

“How could you not know?” He was very direct and continued to pester, “You and your ex-boyfriend
were photogenic in those erotic 30 photos. I have seen all of them. I didn’t expect you to have such a
hot body and so wild in bed!”

“What the hell do you want?” Ellie started to become agitated.



Jordan noticed that she was nervous and changed his tactic and said softly, “I’m sorry if I had
frightened you. I didn’t mean to. I just want to discuss a transaction with you.”

“Transaction? What transaction?” Ellie asked.
