Isn’t it the sound of an elevator? Where exactly is this? Based on my previous traumatic experience, shouldn’t I be taken to a warehouse or something? Why is there an elevator?
With incomprehension, Vivian was finally lowered to the floor. To her surprise, those people just left after that.
“Anyone there?” Vivian asked with her trembling voice, but there was no answer.
Squirming her body vigorously, Vivian tried to sense the surrounding with her hands. It felt like a room. Why did they take me into a room?
Recalling that Evelyn hired someone to humiliate herself before, cold sweat started dripping on Vivian’s forehead.
Is it Evelyn again? Could it be that she would repeat the same act? Anyway, I’ll never let her succeed! I have to find a way to escape now.
Fumbling around with her hands, Vivian searched for something to help her cut the rope. But her effort was in vain.
Unable to obtain anything, she tried to loosen the rope via friction but only to realize that her wrists were being tied tightly. But the peculiar thing was that she did not feel any pain around her wrist. The rope that tied her did not seem to be an ordinary hemp rope, and it felt rather flimsy to the touch.
That person… won’t be some sort of pervert, would it? At the thought of this, Vivian’s heart thumped wildly again, and she struggled even harder to set herself free, but with no success.
Just when Vivian was overwhelmed with desperation, she heard the door opened. Then there were sounds of footsteps – calm and assertive. She knew right away it was a man.
Still unable to break free, Vivian was so anxious that her tears were about to fall. Who exactly is it? Is he going to do something to me?
As the footsteps gradually approached, Vivian’s heart leaped to her throat.
“Stop! Don’t come near! Who are you?” She summoned the courage to shout, but her shivering body exposed the panic in her heart.
It was complete darkness in front of her, with only a slight glare piercing her eyes from below. Vivian tried to identify the person standing in front of her, but she soon realized that it was impossible.
However, the words she yelled just now obviously had some effect. She sensed the footsteps had stopped and were no longer approaching her.
Holding back her nerves, Vivian’s lips quivered as she opened her mouth again. “You… who are you? Why did you kidnap me?”
Without responding to her question, the man in front of her stared at her with a complicated expression. After observing her for a long time, he lifted his feet and started going towards her again.
Detecting the resuming footsteps, Vivian instantly moved back with vast effort. “Don’t come here! What do you want? Ah!”
Vivian clearly sensed the man leaning down towards her. In fact, she could even slightly feel his breath at her neck. All of a sudden, she was picked up abruptly and placed on the sofa beside her.
Is he going to do something bad to me? Despair emerged in Vivian’s heart that instant.
With that, Vivian shrank to the corner of the sofa in fear. Her tied hands were waving wildly in front of her. However, the man in front of her did not make any further movements.
She could feel him standing in front of her. For some reason, she felt even more frightened when he was not moving.
At this moment, she felt like a rabbit locked up in a cage. No matter how hard she struggled, she could only wait to be slaughtered.
Under the hysteria of fear, Vivian ceased talking. She bit her lip firmly and froze as she waited quietly with the man.
But after a while, she felt a warm hand caressing her cheek. He was touching her face!
His hand gently stroked her cheek while his thumb and index finger subconsciously squeezed her thin chin. Those dark eyes of his were staring intensely at those delicate lips.
The fear when facing the unknown was innate. At that moment, Vivian wanted so badly to burrow into the sofa to get away from that man, but it was no use. She had nowhere to run.
