While accompanying Lola for an examination, Nancy reflected on how she had learned to lie in order to survive. She clearly hated such hypocrites in the past!However, after thinking about it, she comforted herself by saying that someone had caused Yaacob a setback in the first place, and what they did later was just to correct it. Moreover, she was sure Yaacob would do his absolute best should he win the right to the project, so it was a win-win situation for everyone.'So it's not wrong to sometimes manipulate others in order to protect myself, right? Of course, I'll never do it if it causes someone else harm or if it's illegal…' thought Nancy.Nancy already had someone in mind who was the culprit that caused Yaacob to be trapped in the elevator. After all, she only needed to consider who would benefit the most from Yaacob missing the meeting.The workday was almost over by the time Nancy got back to the company. She knew there would be consequences for skipping work, but she did
That night, Nancy was so bored in the hospital that she decided to play on her phone. First, she logged into her Twitter, but she logged out again two minutes later.She felt that the posts on Twitter were becoming more and more hostile. She would often come across posts with inexplicable malice, making it no longer fun to read.Thus, she played Candy Crush and Angry Birds for a while.Nancy had always been very loyal. She would continue to play a game she liked even if they were no longer popular. She had downloaded those games when she first bought her mobile phone.However, she had to admit that they did get more and more boring over time. Thus, she quit the game and proceeded to text Yvonne on WhatsApp.[Damn, I really didn't realize Julian would actually be a violent maniac. The last time we attended a party, he was still a sponsor. From a distance, I thought he looked like a calm and collected company president. There were many starlets around who tried to hook up with him,
It was apparent, from the phone call the night before, that the only reason Emily came to see Nancy was to threaten her into giving Yaacob up.Emily was expecting some pushback from Nancy, but the latter just nodded and said, "Okay." Her reaction confused Emily. She looked at Nancy suspiciously as if she did not believe what she just heard. 'Shouldn't she at least kick up a fuss?'"I said okay. Can you leave now?" Nancy emphasized again."I don't believe you." Emily crossed her arms and sat there with no intention of moving.It seemed that she had come prepared to fire a few shots at her, and she would leave until she had at least fired a couple."What do you want me to do then?""The easiest way to prove that you have no intention of getting back together with Yaacob is to leave this city. He and I will go to Europe soon. Before that, I don't want you pestering him. Of course, we won't be coming back here after we get married and settle down there. So you can come back here th
Nancy woke up two hours later to find herself in the backseat of a van with her hands tied behind her back.There were two other men in the car with her; one was driving, and the other was sitting in the passenger seat.Nancy did not dare to make a sound; then, she heard the two men talking."How much longer?" asked the man sitting in the passenger seat anxiously."Another thirty minutes and we should be there," said the man driving."Hurry up. The drug may be wearing off soon.""What are you worrying about? Even if she wakes up, she can't take on two grown men by herself. We won't need to be afraid of her man after we're out of Athenapolis. If he finds her missing, then he'll probably look for her near the hospital. By the time he finished searching the entire city, we'd have taken her to a place he'll never be able to find," said the driver in a confident tone. 'Sh*t! They're taking me away from Athenapolis to a place where Yaacob will never find me?' thought Nancy with shock
The truck had been on the road for the entire day with the women inside packed together like cargo. They had no way of knowing whether it was night or day saved for the tiny window measuring less than eight inches on top of the shipping container.When evening came, the truck finally came to a stop. Immediately afterward, the door of the shipping container was opened, and two men came in carrying four bags of food for the women inside.Each woman was only provided with one meal a day. This was so the men could control the women with their hunger. They knew the women would do anything the men told them to once they reached their destination in order not to starve.Nancy would never have believed that in that day and age, there would still be such inhumane human traffickers if she had not seen it with her own eyes.The other women were already starving. When they saw the men coming to deliver food, they all swarmed around them with their hands stretched out. Only Nancy and the woman
Rhea City was an economically developed internationalized metropolis, despite its considerable distance from Athenapolis.In fact, the city never sleeps, as evidenced by the many nightclubs there. Among so many clubs, the most popular one was undoubtedly Venusee.Venusee was famous for its beautiful and classy ladies. On that particular night, it launched a new event. Customers could bid for female stars to drink with them.However, at that moment, a woman wearing a red spaghetti-strap dress was threatening Nancy in Venusee's VIP room."Don't think that I won't do anything to you if you don't cooperate. I run a night club and I'm also a woman, so I have many ways to deal with girls who don't listen to me."Nancy was sitting in a chair with both her hands and feet tied up. She glared at the woman threatening her."Don't look at me like that. It's your own fault for trusting the wrong person," said the woman. She was indeed the same woman who helped Nancy escape from the human traf
Since Rhea City lay in the south, its winter was not as cold as Athenapolis, but it could be humid and rainy for most of the days. The weather was the bane for those without an umbrella and even worse for the homeless.Nancy found a place under the overpass to shelter from the rain, but it did not stop the bone-chilling wind, causing her to shiver from the cold.Nancy was still dressed in the hospital gown she was kidnapped in, but one sleeve was torn off during her struggle with the two gigolos. She also cut her calf open when she jumped off the building.Fortunately, the two gigolos were all bark and no bite. Their bodies had long been drained by all the sexual activities they did all day long. Otherwise, Nancy would not have been able to take them down.Nancy managed to free herself from the rope by secretly using the still-burning cigarette butt to 'cut' the rope. After that, she picked up a vase and hit each of them on the head. She then broke open the glass window and jumped
Nancy was on guard, but she did not expect she would kick her injured foot, which made her lose her balance. She gasped and held on to her leg in pain.Spencer, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at her strangely. He felt her voice was a bit familiar.'That beggar woman has the same body shape as Nancy! If she were to clean herself up and wear something nice, she might be a beauty too,' thought Spencer.The fact that she was wearing a hospital gown made him wonder which hospital she had escaped from and whether she might be mentally ill. After all, why would she allow herself to run through the streets in a hospital gown unless she was?Spencer was particularly proud of his analysis of the beggar woman. Even though he could not get Nancy, he would always have a place for her in his heart.He even treated going to the room which Nancy had stayed in before as a sort of pilgrimage, thinking he would die happy if he could just catch a whiff of her l
