Crises in Love novel Chapter 261

When I came to, I was enveloped in darkness. My arms were twisted behind me, aching as if they were on the verge of snapping. I instinctively tried to pull them free but found myself immobilized.

It was then that I realized my hands and feet were bound tightly together, rendering me incapable of movement. My mouth was covered with duct tape, allowing only muffled sounds to escape.

The splitting headache made me feel like I was on death's door. The terrifying reality soon dawned on me – I was kidnapped.

The thought sent a wave of panic washing over me. I whimpered, feeling an overwhelming sense of despair that I had never experienced before.

How did this happen? Who could have done this?

The audacity of these people was bewildering. The city officials were still at a cocktail party in the building, and yet they dared to lay a hand on me. It was a brazen act!

I was standing near the entrance of the building, not far from the security patrol. Despite the close proximity, they had the nerve to strike. Their audacity was mind-boggling – they had abducted me right under everyone's noses!

The speed of it all was astonishing. I had no idea what had just happened. I didn't even get a good look at the man who choked me – all I saw was his shiny bald head.

The car looked a lot like the one Hannah drives, a sleek black sedan. That's probably why I walked towards it, thinking I could quickly get into the car. But I distinctly remembered that the car didn't have a license plate.

Everything was obviously premeditated. What I couldn't understand was, how did they know it was me who would come out? Clearly, they were after me.

How did they know Hannah would go get the car? Had it been arranged beforehand? Or did they know where Hannah had parked? That's the only way they could have been so audacious.

I was filled with regret, wishing I had listened to Hannah and stayed inside the building.
