In a fit of rage, he struck Sarah across the face.
The unexpected blow took Sarah by surprise, and she tasted the iron tang of her own blood.
âCome on! Call your friend!â Jack yelled, his desperation evident.
He yanked Sarahâs hair, causing her head to collide with the floor.
Through the pain, Sarah remained steadfast, refusing to utter a sound.
Ariana didnât hear Sarahâs voice anymore, but the sound of the impact made her shiver in dread.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she drew a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure.
âWho sent you here? How much did they pay you? I can pay you ten times as much.
â
âTen times?â Mike smirked, âI doubt you have that much.
â
âTam married into the Anderson family.
If you let us go, I can offer more than just money.
â Ariana attempted to negotiate, her voice filled with a glimmer of hope.
Her hope was met with cruel laughter from outside.
âThe Andersons? Theyâre nothing.
You should know, weâre determined to get our job done today.
â
Arianaâs hope faded almost as soon as it appeared.
She realized that regardless of what happened next, these men had no intention of letting them go.
âBoss, itâs getting late.
If the womanâs people start looking for her, it could get tricky.
Sheâs not coming out.
Maybe we should back off,â Jack advised, glancing at his watch.
Clearly frustrated, Mike spat on the floor.
He wasnât ready to leave empty-handed.
âWe canât just waste this trip.
If we canât accomplish our mission, we might as well get a taste of this starlet.
Help me get her up!â
He began to undress, his disgusting smile widening.

Sarah, still bound, trembled in fear.
Memories of her past traumas surfaced, leaving her feeling cold and despairing.
âAs Mike advanced on her, starting to undress her, the closed door abruptly swung open.
Standing in the doorway, one hand hidden behind her back, Arianaâs voice echoed across the room.
âLet her go! Whatever you want to do, do it to me.
â
When Ariana finally found the courage to emerge, a sinister smile tugged at Mikeâs lips as he rose from the floor and approached her.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he noticed her sudden retreat.
A shard of glass gleamed in her hand, pressed against her throat.
âIf you dare to advance another step, I shall kill myself right before your eyes,â she declared.
In order to convince Mike of her resolve, Ariana applied a touch of force, leaving a conspicuous bloodstain on her neck.
