“So what are you going to do to me?”
“Hmph. Don’t worry, you are my sister after all. I won’t cut your face down to make wine.”
Celine suddenly stood up straight and took a step back before she pointed at the men behind her.
“Do you see this? I’ve prepared it only for you. I want to know how Gideon Leith is as a man and whether he is truly loyal to you.
“I won’t kill you, but I will ruin you and then throw you back to him. I want to see whether he will continue to love you and feed you.”
Celine then fished out a syringe from her pocket in which was used to extract some blue liquid from a glass bottle. The liquid was then injected into Nell.
Nell struggled for a bit but it was useless.
Anxious, she asked, “What are you doing?!”
Celine chuckled, “Don’t worry, it’s not lethal. It will make you feel better later. After all, I want them to rape you, not kill you. It’s not fun when you are dead, am I right?”
She tapped Nell’s face with a sinister grin before she left Nell with the four men.
Nell was terrified. She might not know what Celine had injected into her but it would certainly be nothing good.
After Celine had left, the men walked up to her.
Nell glared at them as she shook her head strongly.
“Don’t! Don’t come near me!” She sounded weak and so it aroused the men who then looked at her with a sinister and vicious grin.
“Baby, don’t be scared, I promise I’ll go easy on you.”
“Come on baby!”
…
10 minutes later, the underground room was dead silent.
Nell was lying down on the floor. She could no longer feel the pain on her wrist that was caused by all the struggling and her remaining consciousness was slowly fading from her mind.
Her back felt cold, it was as if her body was soaked in a puddle of icy cold water, even her bones felt the chills.
She knew it was a sign of life leaving her body.
No, she could not just die like this! Her strong desire to survive made her bite her tongue and the pain evoked some of her fading consciousness.
It was then she heard a painful grunt further away — someone was struggling to get up.
Nell clenched her teeth and got up before the man. Mustering her remaining strength, she then stomped on the man’s ‘weak spot’ and with that, the man fell limp and lost all signs of motion.
She sighed a breath of relief and her last bit of strength faded with that powerful stomp.
She held herself against the wall and tried her best to make it to the door, but the more she moved, the blurrier she got.
Her strong will told her to move her body forward but her legs were so heavy like they were infused with lead.
She shook her head, trying to shake off the dizziness.
Nell originally thought Celine had injected some aphrodisiac into her earlier but now it seemed like it was not it.
No matter what it was, the liquid rendered her weak and helpless.
She could not stay in the basement for any longer because if Celine came back, she would not be able to escape anymore.
With that in mind, she clenched her teeth and dragged herself outside the door.
After a long while, she finally saw a dash of light in front of her.
The caller ID displayed an encrypted number; it was from Nancy.
His eyelid twitched, and he finally realized what had caused the bad feeling in his heart. He quickly went to the table and grabbed the smartwatch that he had taken off before bed.
On the smartwatch’s screen, that tiny red dot, which should always be on display, was gone. He widened his eyes in shock.
“What happened?!” he shouted fiercely the moment he answered the phone.
Nancy felt guilty even through the phone, in which Gideon too noticed that her voice was soft and weak.
She could not help but be terrified at Gideon. Though no matter how scared she was, she could not afford to delay the report. She must tell Gideon what happened.
“President, madam… is gone!”
“What?”
“It’s my fault. Madam and I actually planned this out, but something went wrong…”
Nancy quickly briefed Gideon on what had happened, including what Nell told her.
A while later, Nancy’s voice grew softer due to the anxiety in her heart. She said, “I’m sorry, president. I know it is my duty and I will not escape my responsibility but can we do this later? The priority now is to locate madam.”
Gideon took a deep breath and said, “Where are you now?”
“Leith Manor.”
“Bring up every single surveillance camera in the city, I’m on my way back!”
Fortunately, Gideon had flown to South East Asia first to deal with some matters before flying to the states. So he quickly called a private jet and flew back right away as it was only a three-hour journey.
Three hours later, Gideon was back at Leith Manor.
