It was dead silent in the pavilion, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
Emily stood in the cold wind in thin clothes, shivering, though it was hard to tell whether it was caused by the cold, or because of fear.
Right now, she could hear her teeth chattering.
And she was overwhelmed with fear.
There was a voice in her mind asking which of the two was the real Kobi? Or perhaps both of them were fake!
Finally, someone spoke. It was a hoarse voice. "We can't keep her alive!"
Despite that he looked the same as Kobi, his voice was different.
Shocked, Emily soon realized that he was not Kobi and perhaps the man who was holding her wrist was Kobi.
"Who are you?"
Emily looked at the man who was grabbing her and asked again, "Are you Kobi?"
To be honest, she was afraid that both of them were fake.
Just then, Kevin burst out laughing. "How hilarious. Can't you recognize your own fiance?"
So... the man holding her wrist was really Kobi then?
The man was furrowing his brows while looking fixedly at her.
He didn't look like the gentle Kobi at all, especially the way he stared at her.
After a while, he finally said, "Enough staring?"
Hearing that it was Kobi's voice, Emily heaved a sigh of relief. "Kobi, who's that man behind you? Why does he look exactly like you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Kobi interrupted her. "Why did you come out?"
"Because I haven't seen you in a while and I was worried about you!"
But never in her wildest dreams did she expect to see such a scene.
When she came over, she saw Kobi talking to someone whose back was facing her. Only when the man turned to leave, then did she see his face clearly.
It was a face that looked the same as Kobi's, so she couldn't help but let out a low cry, thus exposing herself.
"You two finished talking?" Kevin was getting impatient and warned Kobi lightly, "She saw me, so you know we can't let her live."
Kobi frowned.
"Think about your plan. If she tells it, then everything will be over."
Kevin then grabbed Emily over. His face was full of ferocity. "If you don't wanna do it yourself, then I'll do it."
What were they going to do?
Instinctively, Emily trembled and screamed, "Help..."
But soon, her mouth was covered.
She struggled and looked at Kobi in horror. She would not believe that Kobi would really harm her.
And there was no way that he would kill her.
However, Kobi just stood there expressionlessly, which was frightening.
Gradually, Emily stopped struggling and gazed at him in disbelief.
She felt extremely heartbroken.
Meanwhile, Kevin took her into the car and said to Kobi, "Lend me your car. I'll take this woman away, and make sure that she wouldn't be a problem to us."
Kobi threw the key to him.
Taking it, Kevin then entered the car.
Emily was stunned, but suddenly, she opened the door and jumped out of the car. With a curse, Kevin pushed open the door and chased after her.
Before she could run away, she was captured and got hit so hard on the face that she saw stars.
"Behave yourself!"
Kevin warned in a low voice before dragging her back into the car.
As her consciousness slowly faded away, she continued to look at Kobi, who stood not far away, with anticipation. However, he just stood by and watched.
Eventually, she passed out, and yet, Kobi still said nothing.
