John really was too good-looking.
She had never seen a man more handsome than him.
Four years ago, when he was badly injured in a car crash, the doctors said he would never walk again.
The Jones family, cold and ruthless, abandoned him. Her parents urged her to stay away too, to avoid being dragged down.
She’d been afraid of being dragged down as well. So she dumped him and left the country without hesitation.
But once she got married abroad, she regretted everything.
Her husband had money, sure-but he was ugly, promiscuous, mentally twisted, and abusive.
If he hadn’t gone bankrupt and died in a car crash, she never would’ve escaped him.
After such a disastrous marriage, she realized just how outstanding John was now that he had made a comeback. There was no way she’d let that bitch Lily steal him away!
As night fell deeper, Elsa didn’t move in his arms, and John assumed she had fallen asleep.
He gently laid her down on the bed and stepped out into the hallway to call Wayne.
The image of Lily’s bloodied forehead and the sorrow and disappointment in her eyes when she looked at him tore at his heart.
He had to ask Wayne to deliver some ointment to her-and her favorite strawberry cake…
He had barely stepped out of the hospital room when Elsa opened her eyes.
The door was ajar. She faintly heard Lily’s name.
Even when he was physically beside her, his heart was still wrapped around Lily. The thought made her grind her teeth in fury.
She had to destroy Lily’s reputation-make John dump her like trash!
She quickly grabbed her phone and texted her mother, Wendy.
“Mom, it’s time to use those men Dad found.”
The reply came almost instantly: “Don’t worry, Elsa. That b*tch Lily dares to steal your man-I’ll make sure she pays!”
Elsa knew better than anyone how ruthless Wendy could be.
But her hatred for Lily was so deep, she still worried it wouldn’t be enough.
She continued typing on the screen. “Mom, do any of the men Dad found actually have HIV? Are you sure that drug you got can make Lily completely lose her mind and let them do whatever they want?”
“That drug cost me three hundred thousand! Just one pill will make her forget what shame even means! Don’t worry. Tonight, I’ll make sure they feed her a few more!”
Satisfied the drug would work, a vicious smile crept across Elsa’s lips.
“Make them give her the whole bottle! And get plenty of photos and videos. I want everyone to see how filthy and shameless she really is! Once John sees her true colors, there’s no way he’ll ever fall for her again!”
Wendy promised again and again that she’d make Lily look like a worthless slut, hated by everyone. Only then did Elsa finally toss her phone aside, feeling satisfied.
Men all cared about their pride.
Especially men like John, who had power and status.
Proud as he was, there’s no way he’d ever want some filthy, cheap slut who’d been used by everyone!
After Lily’s phone screen cracked, it had become harder and harder to use.
At first, she could still type with effort. But eventually, even answering calls became a struggle.
She had sent a lot of voice samples to casting directors. She worried they might call her back, and she wouldn’t be able to answer. After cleaning up her place, she decided to go buy a new phone.
There were no stores downstairs.
She walked several blocks before she finally found a phone shop.
It was in a slightly remote spot, and at this hour, the whole street was eerily quiet.
Once she had the new phone and SIM card, she picked up her pace.
But then, she heard footsteps behind her-and faint, lewd laughter from men.
She figured they were drunk and didn’t want any trouble. She started walking faster, almost jogging.
“Where you running off to, sweetheart?”
She had only gone a few steps when a man with tattooed arms and a muscular build blocked her path.
He wasn’t alone. Four other big, burly men stood with him.
It was a cold winter night, yet they were all in short sleeves, muscles bulging. They looked dangerous.
Lily didn’t hesitate. She quickly sent a text to the police while charging ahead as fast as she could.
Leave Tonig
But those men were faster.
Before she could hit send, the tattooed man was already in front of her, grinning wickedly. He slammed a towel soaked in something over her mouth and nose.
She knew they were up to no good-she couldn’t let them win.
She thrashed and struggled with everything she had, trying to break free from his grip.
But he was too strong. She couldn’t match him.
And the scent from the towel filled her nose. It drained the strength from her limbs like someone had pulled the plug.
She could no longer fight. All she could do… was surrender.
“What do you want from me? Let go! Don’t touch me!”
Lily had no strength to fight back. She could only force herself to stay calm and try to reason with them.
“Who sent you? I have money. If you let me go, I’ll pay you double!”
She scanned her surroundings carefully.
This commercial street, while a bit run-down, still had surveillance cameras.
She had even shopped here at night before-it always felt safe. She never imagined something like this would happen.
She thought about calling out for help, but by sheer bad luck, the street was completely empty tonight. No pedestrians, no one in sight-just her and these men. There was no one to help her.
“You have money?”
As if they’d heard the funniest joke in the world, the men burst into mocking laughter. “You think you’ve got more money than Mr. John?”
“Tonight, Mr. John sent us.”
“You pissed off Mr. John. You deserve whatever we do to you!”
John…
Even wrapped in a thick wool coat, Lily felt herself go cold all over at the mention of that name.
She knew John favored Elsa. But she always believed that after four years of standing by each other, he wouldn’t push her to ruin like this.
In the moment she froze, the men shoved her into the trunk of a beat-up van.
It was pitch black inside. A crushing sense of dread swallowed her whole.
The stench of that drug was overwhelming, leaving her completely powerless.
She took a few deep breaths and kept trying to reason with them. “I can give you ten million. Let me go, and I won’t go to the police. We’ll pretend tonight never happened.”
“You really have ten million?”
Clearly, the offer made the men hesitate.
The man calling himself John had only offered them five million total, including the deposit and the rest of the payout.
“If you really give us ten million, I-“
