"You better think this through. You can only come alone. If I see you bring anyone else, I’ll immediately cut open this woman’s stomach, and then take out what's inside her..."As he spoke, the man suddenly paused and turned to glance at Rosalie meaningfully.Rosalie's heart nearly leaped into her throat. Was this man about to tell Theodore that she was pregnant?The man continued, "As for what happens next, you can imagine it yourself.""I won’t bring anyone with me," Theodore said, trying hard to suppress his rage. "Don’t harm her. I’ll do exactly as you say.""Good. I’ll send you the address now. Make sure you behave."Seeing the man's fierce gaze, Rosalie became very agitated. "Theo, don’t come!"But before she could finish speaking, the man had already ended the call.He walked over to Rosalie, grabbed her chin, and lifted her head. "Even in this state, you still want to protect your ex-husband, huh?""Why didn’t you tell him I’m pregnant?" Rosalie asked. The man had me
"What’s your relationship with Laila?" Rosalie asked.She couldn't even call Laila her aunt now, filled with resentment toward the latter."What relationship could I possibly have with her?""Then why is she here?" Rosalie pressed on."Oh, it's like this," the man said. "She was with the kidnappers at the time. Later, to save her own life, she betrayed you to them. I found a way to get her out, and sent her to the wedding to tell Theodore that you were kidnapped.""Why did you do that?""Are you asking why I had Laila tell Theodore that you were kidnapped?"Rosalie nodded. "What do you want to get from Theodore? Is it just to play some boring game?"The man leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "I like playing games, and unknown games are even more exciting for me."Rosalie felt a chill at his words.She then turned her head and looked at Laila, asking, "What do you plan to do with her?""What do you think?" the man asked. "Maybe I can give her to you. You can do whatever
Laila's words made Rosalie feel increasingly disgusted. She was glad she hadn't given in. Such a person was unworthy of any sympathy."If it weren't for me, would you have been able to live the life of a wealthy lady or to have a good life? You wouldn't even lend me money and just watched me fall into trouble. You've wronged me! What did I ever do to deserve this? You brought this on yourself!"Laila, who was desperate now, glared at Rosalie menacingly. "You're so stingy! Even though you have so much money, you wouldn't lend me any. You were the one who wanted to harm me first!"Rosalie snorted coldly. "Say whatever you like. You won't have a good ending."Rosalie then ignored her.Laila struggled to get up from the ground and move toward Rosalie, but the man blocked her path. His hands on his hips, he looked down at her. "What, do you want to hit her?"He raised his fist, ready to hit her.Laila fell to the ground with a thud. She covered her head, and curled up in the corn
Rosalie didn't care about what Laila said, except the one thing regarding her not being her parents' biological child."Stop it!" Rosalie shouted at the man.The man retracted the foot he had just raised.After putting his foot down, he felt a bit frustrated. He seemed to be a bit confused about his role. He was a kidnapper, so why should he listen to his hostage? It was annoying! He also had to avoid swearing, lest it affect his image.‘Forget it,’ he thought. He would just listen and not be petty with women. He still had to listen to Rosalie.Rosalie immediately said, "Laila, you said I'm not my parents' biological child. Why should I believe you? It sounds like you're just saying that out of desperation. You have no evidence.""What evidence do you need? You're not their biological child!" Laila's voice trembled. "If you don't believe it, you can do a DNA test. If you're truly my brother's biological daughter, then we have a blood relation. If not, the DNA test will show tha
From what she remembered, her parents had loved and protected her, with no signs suggesting she wasn't their biological child.But now, many years after her parents' death, her aunt told her that she wasn't their biological child.This was a huge shock to Rosalie. If her parents weren't her biological parents, who were her real parents? Could they still be alive?Rosalie looked up at the man, and said, "I can't do a DNA test with her, as we're both trapped here.""So, you want to do a DNA test?" the man asked.Rosalie nodded. "Yes, I want to.""So, should I release you so you can do the DNA test?" the man asked.Rosalie sighed, and lowered her head in resignation.A glimmer of light flashed in the man's eyes. "If you beg me, I might agree to it."Rosalie frowned slightly. "You want me to beg you? Are you sure?""I love it when people beg me. Go ahead, beg me," the man said, winking with anticipation. His black mask obscured his expression, but his voice was like a child askin
Silence hung in the air."We were chatting so happily that we forgot what's most important. I need to send the address to your husband. He must be waiting anxiously."The man took out his phone, and began tapping on the screen.Rosalie closed her eyes wearily, knowing that he wouldn't let her go. Pleading with him was useless.After tapping on the phone for a while, the man put it back in his pocket. He then approached Laila, bound her tightly, and dragged her out."Where are you taking me?""Be quiet!" the man snapped.Laila instinctively struggled, but the man, losing patience, struck her hard on the back of her head. Her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.The man grabbed one of her legs, and dragged her out of the building.Rosalie didn't know where he was taking Laila, and didn't hear any more sounds after that.-The sound of screeching brakes echoed in the empty space. As the tires ground to a halt, it kicked up dust from the ground.The car door opened, a
"Are you correcting what I'm saying?" The man was displeased. "I don't like others correcting me, because I'm always right."Sebastian was about to retort when Theodore turned and said, "Stop it. Rose is still in his hands. Can we please stay calm?""You…" Sebastian was unwilling; upon reflection, if he argued with Theodore here, it would only validate Theodore's point.So, he had to swallow his anger for now.He turned to look at the speaker, which had a microphone on top. Speaking into the microphone, he asked, "Where’s Rose?""Unlock the tablet."Theodore immediately unlocked the tablet. On the screen was a play button. He clicked it, and the tablet showed a video of Rosalie tied to a pole. There was a lot of blood on the ground.Seeing this, both men's emotions instantly unraveled."Damn it! What have you done to her?" Sebastian shouted."What can I do? Just what you see," the man replied slowly and unhurriedly, in stark contrast to Sebastian's fury.Sebastian's eyes turn
Rosalie's chin was grasped by a large hand, lifting her head. The man then took out his phone, and held it up in front of Rosalie. "Do you see? Both of those men came to save you."Rosalie panicked upon seeing the men on the screen. "What do you want to do?""Good question. I want to know which one of them is more important to you.""Neither of them is important," Rosalie said."Oh, is that so?" The man laughed. "Then how about I kill them both? I've set up a mechanism. As soon as I press this button, I can immediately shoot through their heads.""Don't!" Rosalie said urgently. "I'm already in your hands. There's no need for this.""So nervous!" the man said. "Didn't you say they're not important to you? If they're not important, why do you care?""I'm begging you. Please tell me what you really want to do.""I've told you. I want to know who is more important to you. One is your ex-husband whom you loved deeply, and the other is your husband. Do you love him?"Rosalie closed
