Chapter 1626 The Brush With Death
“A handsome man?”
“Yeah, he’s staying beside your room! He’s in Room 109!”
Stephen’s expression turned grim when he heard the receptionist’s words. Once he arrived at Room 109, he started rapping the door with all his might.
It took the person inside a while to answer the door. Staring at the topless man with a towel wrapped around his waist and the scratch marks on his body, Stephen instinctively balled his hands into fists.
“Where’s Melanie?”
“Melanie? How are you related to her?” the topless man asked, pretending to be shocked by Stephen’s presence.
“S-She’s my—”
Stephen could not even finish his sentence as the man shot him a dirty look and interrupted, “She’s not really related to you, isn’t she? I’m her friend in college, and she liked me a lot back then. I’m her first love. When she saw me today, she wanted to rekindle the old flame. Well, if there’s nothing else you need, do not interrupt us!”
Her friend in college? Rekindle the old flame?
With a frosty expression on his face, Stephen craned his neck to look into the room.
From that angle, he could only catch a glimpse of the colorful toenails on the edge of the bed. One look was all he needed to ascertain that the woman inside the room was Melanie, as those were her favorite colors.
On the heels of that, he heard a woman calling, “Come back here quick…”
That was Melanie’s impatient voice.
With that, the topless man said, “Excuse me, she’s calling for me now. I won’t invite you in since we’re not exhibitionists who fancy the presence of an outsider during such an intimate session.”
He then slammed the door shut, leaving the confused Stephen alone to process the absurdity of the situation.
Melanie’s sleeping with her first love? What nonsense is this?
Nonetheless, he took a deep breath to gather his thoughts and decided to give Melanie his blessings since she liked that topless man.
He would be a more suitable partner for her than me.
He then returned to his room and shut the door behind him.
Rose, who had been observing everything in the dark, smirked.
There’s nothing Melanie can do to prove her innocence since Stephen had witnessed everything.
Shortly after returning to her room, she recalled the near-death experience she had on the day she went to pay her respects to Chris.
Due to the overwhelming grief and heavy rain, she passed out. After regaining consciousness, she found out a few vicious-looking men had kidnapped her.
Those men looked at her lecherously like predators targeting their defenseless prey. It was evident they were thinking of taking advantage of her.
“W-Who the hell are you?” she asked.
One of the kidnappers replied, “Who are we? We’re the ones sending you to the afterworld.”
“That’s right! Someone paid us a fortune to kill you, so we’re getting the job done!” another chimed in.
Unable to think of anyone who would want her dead, the confused woman asked, “Who? Who is it that wants me dead?”
“That’s none of your concern since you’re about to die!” the third kidnapper replied.
“He’s right! You should consider yourself lucky because the person is merciful enough to grant you a pleasant death!” the fourth kidnapper piped up.
“On top of the fortune paid to kill you, they gave us extra to bed you! They want you to relish the pleasure as a woman before your death!” the second kidnapper voiced.
On top of killing me, that person even wants them to rape me? How ruthless!
The first kidnapper said, “Do not resist! We’re going to take a few photos to prove that we did our job and also that we’re really trying our best to please you for one last time!”
“How much did the person offer to pay you guys? If you set me free, I’ll offer you twice as much as her offer!” Nina yelled.
With a disdainful expression, the third kidnapper remarked, “If you’re an ugly woman, we might have considered the offer. However, there’s no way we’re going to take up the offer because you’re even more tempting than money!”
“Indeed, money is nothing as compared to a night with a gorgeous woman like you!” the first kidnapper concurred.
Sensing her impending doom, Nina balled her fists and started observing her surroundings. There was nothing around her, so it was safe to assume they had taken her to an abandoned building.
However, she could not tell the floor they were on.
The only thing she could see was the lecherous men’s disgusting smiles and terrifying gazes.
What should I do?
