“Even if you spill the beans, I don’t have any money now. And if this gets out, you’ll be going to jail too!” Kenneth responded.

As the argument grew more intense, Nyla finally recognized the man who had kidnapped her–Mabel’s father, Kenneth.

She had only met him once. How did he know where she lived? How had he gotten into her home?

This wasn’t something a regular farm worker could come up with. Someone must have been behind it, and that person was obviously Lucia.

Gradually, the argument outside died down, followed by the sound of a car starting.

Soon, everything was silent.

Nyla held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Suddenly, she felt the suitcase being moved and heard the wheels rolling on the ground. She realized she was being dragged somewhere, and her mind raced as she considered how to escape.

Nyla cautiously unzipped the top of the suitcase a little, but the outside was pitch black except for the flashlight held by the person dragging her.

Unable to see her surroundings, Nyla knew she couldn’t make a rash move.

After about ten minutes, the person brought her to an abandoned building and started dragging her upstairs. Each step made her body slam painfully against the stairs, but she bit her lip to keep from making a sound.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the man stopped

Kenneth put down the suitcase and called Lucia. “I’ve got her. What’s next?”

Lucia, who had been waiting nearby, said, “I’ll be there soon.

When Lucia arrived, she opened the suitcase right away and reprimanded Kenneth, “You idiot! Why didn’t you tie her up? What if she escapes?”

“I was in a hurry and forgot…”

“Moron!” Lucia cursed, realizing it was too late to fix it.

Seeing Nyla was still unconscious, she smirked and slapped Nyla hard twice, waking her up.

you want?”

Nyla slowly opened her eyes, pretending to be groggy and terrified. “L–Lucia, what do Seeing the fear on Nyla’s face, Lucia felt a surge of satisfaction. “Nyla, didn’t expect this, did you?” “Are you crazy? Kidnapping is a crimel” Nyla tried to talk while assessing her surroundings. Everything was dark except for the small area lit by the flashlight. To escape, she’d need that flashlight.

Lucia sneered. “Since I’m daring enough to kidnap you, I have a way out.”

With that, she signaled to Kenneth.

A knife was pressed against Nyla’s throat. “Nyla, I’ll give you a chance. Call Clark and ask for help. If he’s willing to pay, I’ll let you go. How about that?”

Nyla frowned, wary of Lucia’s intentions. Something felt off. If Lucia only wanted money, she wouldn’t be showing herself because she knew Nyla would tell Clark everything if she survived.

Lucia had no intention of letting her go alive!

From Kenneth’s earlier conversation with the other man, Nyla deduced that Kenneth was in this for the money. Lucia, however, wanted her dead but didn’t want to be implicated, so she had Kenneth do the dirty work.

Once Nyla was dead, Kenneth would take the fall. Lucia likely didn’t plan to let Kenneth live either, ensuring no loose ends.

Noticing Nyla’s hesitation, Lucia smirked. “If you don’t call, you’ll die now.”

Nyla knew calling Clark was her only chance. If he came with help, she might survive. “Okay, I’ll call him.”

“Give me the number, and I’ll dial it. Think carefully about what to say,” Lucia warned.

Lucia dialed Clark’s number and put it on speaker.

After a few rings, a soft, feminine voice answered instead of Clark.
