Edmund carefully showed only hall his face. He kept locking behind Larissa. Once he was certain there was no one else, he unchained the door and opened the door fully.
âGet in,â he said, but Larissa did not move.
âWhereâs Wendy?â she asked. âTell Wendy to come out and I go in.â
âWendyâs not here.â Edmund said.
Larissa immediately backed up to be out of Edmundâs range. âSince you donât keep your promises
She turned around to prepare to
leave, but the doors on the right and left of Edmundâs room opened to let out several men in black suits. They surrounded her.
Larissa only realized that she had fallen into Edmundâs trap. The men caught Larissa and led her up.
They locked her in Edmundâs room.
The small room was messy as hell and there was a slinky smell in it.
Seeing Larissaâs frown, Edmund let out a creepy a ss smile. âRelax, we wonât stay here for long. Just bear with it a little larger.â
He leaned down to pinch Larissaâs chin with two lingers. That face that looked like Kevanâs slowly came nearer,
Larissa jerked free of his fingers and turned away.
âIsk!â Edmund sneered. âLarissa, do you even know what kind of situation youâre in? If I were you, Iâd be a good little girl and try everything I can to keep mysell alive.â
Larissaâs face was stone. It was like she did not hear anything he said. She asked, âWhereâs Wendy?â
This was the only thing she cared about.
âWendyâs line.â Edmund got close to her face again as he used a finger to stroke her cheek obsessively. âI told you. I wonât hurt her.â
Larissa sneered co olly. âDo you think you still have any trust in me here?â
Edmund thought about it for a few seconds before he suddenly pulled away. âFine, I let you see her.â
He took out his phone and made a video cal. The call connected quickly and Edmund showed Larissa the phone screen so that she could clearly see. A Caldorian man appeared on the screen.
âMr. Rogers? Did you need something?â His fluent Cadorian further exposed and confirmed his nationality.
Edmund ordered. âShow us. Wendy.â
âOkay.â The screen changed to show an unconscious woman on a bed..
Larissaâs heart squeezed with fear as she asked sharply, âWhat have you done to Wendy?â
âQuietly, darling.â Edmund made a shushing motion with his finger. He lingered a lock of Lairssaâs hair near her ear as he reminded her.â Wendyâs sleeping. Donât wake her up.â
âHow do I know that sheâs sleeping or if sheâs Larissa stared hard at the unmoving Wendy as she desperately tried to ligure out if her friend was alive or not.
Edmund ended the call though. Tve already let you see her, Larissa. Donât push your luck. His voice was cold and evil.

âHowever-â Edmund put his phone away. âI can promise you, as long as you listen to me, Iâll let Wendy go once we leave here.â
Larissaâs throal tightened. Hall a minute later, she agreed. âOkay.â
As she was in such a bad position now, she could only obey Edmundâs Instructions. As long as she was obedient, she might be able to Save Wendy.
âGood glit, my sweet darling.â Edmund smiled with satisfaction as he wrapped Larissa Into his arms. He lowered his head to take a deep snill of her hair. âHow deliciously nice.â
