If she had known that Daniel had become so extreme, she should have been more cautious instead of foolishly going to Daniel’s place alone.
Her current situation is entirely her own fault!
But… she doesn’t want to die!
She still has many things she wants to do. Also, if she really dies, will it not cause pain for Mason?
Even if he no longer loves her, if he knows that she was kidnapped and scared because of him, will he not blame himself? Will he not be sad?
The thought of her death possibly causing some kind of shadow for Mason makes Veronica’s will to survive even stronger.
She can’t die, but what can she do now?
Her upper body was tightly bound to the pillar, unable to move even though her legs were not tied.
Suddenly, Veronica had a flash of inspiration and stared intently at her own feet. She was wearing a pair of ordinary black leather shoes with a heel of only about 4cm, but there were spikes in the heel.
Just two days ago, she felt that the heel was a bit unstable and felt like it was about to come off.
If Daniel hadn’t kidnapped her, she would have gone to the shoemaker in her own community to have the heel of her shoes re-nailed after leaving Daniel’s residence.
If she could pull out the spikes… maybe she could break the rope!
Thinking of this, Veronica became excited and began to take off her shoes and then her socks!
The few simple movements that were usually easy for her had become much more difficult now.
Finally, she managed to take off her socks and then looked at her two shoes. She remembered that the left shoe had a loose heel.
So she picked up the shoe with her toes and slowly bent her leg backwards, trying to get her hand to take off the shoe.
However, the shoe was already heavy, and coupled with being tied up, trying to get her hand to take off the shoe was like a physical challenge.
Repeated failures left Veronica panting and her legs were extremely sore.
But she couldn’t give up, she had to survive. She must survive!
Not just for herself, but also for those who had been good to her, and…
Mason’s face appeared in her mind, causing her to let out a long sigh and continue with her previous actions.
The most important thing now was to save herself, not to risk Mason’s life to save her!
Finally, after who knows how long, Veronica’s fingers finally hooked onto the shoe, and her tense heart finally calmed down a bit.
Next, she had to remove the heel from the sole of the shoe and use the head of the shoe nail to rub against the rope to break it.
Although the heel was already a bit loose, separating it from the shoe still required a lot of effort, especially since this kind of work would normally require tools.
But now, she not only had no tools, but was also in this position, which meant she needed to use even more strength to do this job…
She would succeed, she must succeed, Veronica kept encouraging herself in her heart.
Mason always felt uneasy. One night, he received a text message on his phone, it was from Veronica.
Although he had deleted her phone number from his phone, he still remembered it in his mind and couldn’t forget it.
Therefore, when he saw the number on the text message, he knew it was from Veronica.
The content of the message invited him to go to their old high school tomorrow, because tomorrow was the day when the old high school site would be completely demolished.
Mason looked at the text message on his phone, feeling a bit distracted. High school?
For him, the last memories of high school were not good memories. Ever since Veronica chose to date
Daniel back then, his high school life had been a mess.
And now, what did Veronica mean by sending this text message? Did she really just want to see the old campus being demolished with him? Or was there some other purpose?
For some reason, he felt a sense of unease in his heart, causing him to feel restless and anxious.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a certain line of text in the message, and his eyes changed. He seemed to be pondering something.
After a moment, he replied to the message on his phone, “Okay, let’s meet for the last time tomorrow.”
On the other end of the phone, Daniel looked at the message from Mason with a satisfied smile on his face.
Tomorrow, there would be a good show to watch. He would make sure that Mason and Veronica would both meet their end!
Not only would this relieve his hatred, but he could also leave the country afterwards and start a new life.
He would never let himself be trapped in this muddy life again, struggling to get out.
Finally, the day had dawned. Veronica tightly gripped the shoe heel with the nail in her hand, grinding the rope on her back with the nail.
Even though she couldn’t see behind her, she could feel the rope slowly wearing away. She had been bound like this for a whole night, and her strength was almost depleted. She was relying solely on her willpower now.
She had to make the rope break quickly and escape before the building was demolished!
“Crack!” Suddenly, she gasped for air. While grinding the rope with the nail, she had once again stabbed her hand with the shoe heel.
Her hand had been pricked by the nail countless times during the night while grinding the rope.
When her left hand gets tired, she switches to her right hand to continue grinding the rope. When her right hand gets tired, she switches back to her left hand. As a result, both of her hands have many wounds from the thorns, and some of the deeper wounds are bleeding.
But it is also because of the pain from these wounds that her body is less tired and drowsy, allowing her to stay alert until now.
It’s almost there. She can feel that the rope in her hand is about to break!
Just then, she suddenly heard a voice outside, “Check it out. If there’s no problem, we’ll blow it up and demolish it later!”
Blow it up and demolish it? Veronica was startled, feeling even more pressed for time.
And how long is “later” that the person mentioned?
But if someone checks it, does that mean that if the person sees her like this later, she will be saved?!
Soon, the door of the auditorium was pushed open. Veronica shuddered and looked towards the door with anticipation in her eyes. But when she saw that the person opening the door was Daniel, her whole body froze.
Daniel was wearing a construction uniform and a yellow helmet commonly used on construction sites.
He looked at Veronica with a sinister smile and said, “Let’s see today if Mason will come to save you. If he doesn’t come, you’ll die here alone. Don’t blame me. Blame Mason for not coming!”
Veronica wanted to shout and question Daniel, but her mouth was taped shut. At this moment, she couldn’t make a sound.
At the same time, she was also afraid that Daniel would notice something unusual about her feet. After all, she was barefoot now, and her shoes and socks were scattered around her.
Fortunately, Daniel didn’t notice these things, or perhaps he was very confident in his own plan and didn’t think Veronica had any chance of escape!
After saying this, Daniel closed the door of the auditorium again. Immediately afterwards, Veronica heard Daniel shouting to someone outside, “We’ve checked here. Everything’s normal. No one’s here!”
Veronica increased the speed of grinding the rope in her hand. The most important thing now was to quickly break the rope in her hand.
And Mason…if Mason really came, then…at this moment, she didn’t want him to enter this dangerous situation.
If she really can’t escape, at least she hopes he can live well!
Daniel stood outside with a smug look on his face. In just half an hour, the explosion would be triggered on time!
Mason should be coming soon. Then there will be a good show to watch! He has placed Veronica’s phone in the auditorium and set a timed message to be sent.
When the explosion is triggered, a message will be sent to Mason’s phone. At that time, Mason will know that Veronica is inside.
What will Mason do then? Will he stop the explosion immediately and then rush in, or will he just charge in directly?
If Mason charges in, he is destined to die!
Of course, if Mason doesn’t charge in, even if he doesn’t die, he will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life, if someone like Mason really has a conscience.
In any case, no matter what choice Mason makes, it won’t be easy.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Mason stood outside the safety line, looking at the old school building in front of him.
Soon, this place will be demolished, but the person who invited him hasn’t shown up yet.
His anxiety was becoming stronger and stronger.
Appear, appear in front of him, and tell him that she is safe!
At this moment, his phone rang. After answering the phone for a moment, his face changed, and he spoke a few words to the other end of the phone.
Suddenly, Daniel saw a group of police officers rushing to the construction site in an orderly manner, surrounding the people there.
Then they began to investigate one by one!
Daniel’s heart tightened. What’s going on? Is it related to the phone call with Mason just now?
No, he can’t stay here any longer. If he continues to stay here, something might really happen.
So, Daniel only planned to deal with the police vaguely for a while, and then quietly leave here.
Anyway, he has figured out the environment here these days and knows how to leave to avoid nearby surveillance.
A police officer stood in front of him and asked for his name.
“Norton,” he said, using the name of the person he replaced. The name recorded in the registration book was also that person’s name.
As for his appearance, although he didn’t look like the person, there was no photo in the registration book, and the police would not find anything unusual.
But to his surprise, the police officer shouted his name, “Daniel!” the next moment.
Daniel was suddenly startled, with obvious panic on his face.
“Sure enough, you are Daniel! Tell me, why did you impersonate Norton?!” The police officer scolded him.
“What impersonation? He…he was sick, and I came to work for him for a day. Does the police still care about this?” Daniel found an excuse and glanced at the foreman. He had given money to the foreman before, so he could replace Norton to work.
The foreman also quickly spoke up for Daniel, “Yes, that’s right. He came to replace Norton today!”
“Is that so?” Mason’s voice suddenly sounded, making Daniel’s hair stand on end. “You’re just here to replace someone at work today? What a coincidence?!”
