Before Christopher had the chance to speak, he saw a team of men charging toward the building.Christopher’s face turned cold. “Damn that Theodore Spencer!”Theodore couldn’t wait any longer, and led his men in rushing into the building.The door was locked open with a bang as Theodore led dozens of men in searching for their targets, all of them armed. When their gazes landed upon the bloodied corpses heaped on the ground, they were utterly shocked.Theodore’s eyes were bloodshot as he rushed forward, desperately looking for signs of Rosalie.Just then, Sebastian and Christopher rushed in too. They were equally taken aback by the scene that greeted them in the building.“Rose! Rose!” Sebastian started yelling at the top of her voice. “Where are you, Rose?”“Stop yelling.” Theodore walked out from a small room. “Rose isn’t here. She was taken away.”Theodore crouched down to check on the dead bodies. Some of them were in a tragic state, while others died from a single shot. All
Rosalie opened her eyes, and found herself lying in a room.Her body felt sore all over. She carefully sat up on the bed, and looked around her.Where was she?“You’re awake,” said a voice that sounded from inside the room.Rosalie jumped in fright, and looked in the direction of the voice. However, she didn’t see anyone there.The voice spoke again. “Why so scared? I’m not going to eat you up.”There was a hint of playfulness in the voice.Just then, Rosalie noticed a small speaker at the foot of the bed—the voice was coming from it. The fact that he knew she was awake showed that he could see her, and that there must be a surveillance camera in the room.Rosalie asked hoarsely, “Who exactly are you?”“Is it important who I am?”Rosalie was so angry, she chuckled and said, “You killed all the thugs and brought me here. Don’t I deserve to know who you are? At least tell me your objective.”“I don’t have any objective. I’m just bored and enjoy doing strange things.”“Is this
She just didn’t know if this was all that this mysterious man would do to her.She was worried he might suddenly do something horrible to her.She could sense that this man was a pervert who didn’t follow the usual rules of logic in the things he did. In fact, he did things without any goal in mind and simply did whatever he wanted to, with no regard for anything else or any reason. He was a madman, through and through.“You look so scared. Are you worried I would pounce on you and torture you like what those thugs wanted to do?”His leisurely tone sounded teasing, as if he were teasing a child just to see the fear in her eyes. Rosalie said weakly, “I hope you won’t do that.”She knew how helpless and vulnerable she sounded. How could she reason with a villain whom she was at the mercy of? All the more begging for mercy was useless at this point.“Alright, I won’t do that,” the man said agreeably.Rosalie was stunned, a look of disbelief flashing past her face. She turned arou
It was quite tragic, now that she thought about it. Her ex-husband was marrying another woman, while she found herself a victim of kidnappers.After a while, Rosalie needed the toilet. After she walked into the washroom, she looked around her and came back out, shutting the door behind her. She didn’t dare to go to the washroom, out of fear that there might be a surveillance camera in there.The moment she stepped out of the washroom, the speaker sounded once more. “Worried that I have surveillance cameras installed in the washroom?”Rosalie didn’t reply to him, but her silence betrayed what she was thinking.“Hold it in if you don’t want to go.”“Do you have surveillance cameras installed in the washroom or not?” Rosalie said, annoyed.This damn pervert.“I don’t know, either. I forgot. You can choose not to go if you’re not worried.”“You…” Rosalie was slightly peeved. He was clearly trying to torture her.Even if she could hold it in, doing so wasn’t good for her baby. Rosa
"You're so fierce." A pitiful voice came from the other end. "Why don't you speak nicely? Why are you so harsh? You scared me. If you scare me, I might get nervous and my hand might tremble. If my hand trembles and I accidentally harm Rosalie, what then?"Theodore's fury surged. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked."How is Rose now? If she loses even a single hair, I'll…""Are you threatening me?" the man interrupted him. "Mr. Spencer, please get the situation straight. She's in my hands, so I can do whatever I want. The more you don't want me to hurt her, the more I'll want to do it. You see, I'm naturally rebellious—I don't respond well to threats. What should we do about that?"Theodore took a deep breath, trying to contain his anger. "What exactly do you want? You must have a goal. Otherwise, what's the point of doing this? Are you my enemy?"The other side suddenly fell silent.Theodore realized something. "Have we met before? Are there any grudges bet
"I know her life is at stake," Theodore said, "or I wouldn't have called you. Since the kidnapper hasn't contacted you, there's no point in continuing this conversation. I'm hanging up now.""Wait," Sebastian called out to him."What now?" Theodore replied, clearly impatient."If the kidnapper contacts you again, you need to tell me!""You too. If the kidnapper calls you, you have to inform me. For Rose's safety, the more people who work together, the better the chance of protecting her. Let's put aside our past grudges until she's safe.""Alright," Sebastian agreed. "It's a deal. Whoever gets the latest information must inform the other."After hanging up, Sebastian smashed his phone to the ground."Theodore, I don't believe a word you say."…Time passed by.By midnight, Theodore still hadn't slept.Nighttime was the best time for a deal. The kidnapper might just call him at this time.He kept waiting, staying awake through the entire night.By morning, he hadn't receive
"You guessed it right. I think it's fun." The man chuckled, and gripped her chin. He was wearing black gloves. "Close your eyes.""What are you going to do?" The more he demanded she closed her eyes, the more afraid she became. She was scared of what he might do once they were shut.He seemed to read her mind. "If I wanted to do something to you, would keeping your eyes open make any difference? Be a good girl and follow my instructions."He cupped her face with both hands, and squeezed it hard. "Be careful of the little bastard in your belly."His tone was exceptionally gentle, but every word carried an unparalleled cruelty. Rosalie could only comply and closed her eyes.The man released her face.Suddenly, Rosalie felt a cloth being placed over her eyes.After blindfolding her, the man grabbed her arm and led her out of the room.Rosalie had no idea where he was taking her. She only knew she had climbed into a car. She couldn't tell how long they drove. She had lost all sen
Rosalie listened to Laila's screams. Though she felt a bit afraid, Laila deserved this. It was karma.Laila's gambling addiction had led her to incur heavy debts, and to think she even conspired with kidnappers to abduct her own niece! It was utterly unforgivable.The screams continued for several minutes before finally subsiding. Eventually, Laila's pleas for mercy faded away."What a fucking jinx!" the man cursed. He was panting heavily, as if exhausted from the beating.But no sooner had he finished cursing, he kicked Laila again. "Look what you made me do. You made me curse! How can a refined person like me use such foul language? It's all your fault! Damn it! Damn, I cursed again!"He grabbed a bottle nearby, and smashed it over Laila's head."Anyone who makes me curse deserves to die!"The sound of the bottle shattering echoed sharply, like a knife piercing Rosalie's eardrums.Then, footsteps approached her. She trembled in fear. Suddenly, the blindfold was removed fr
