âWho are you people?â Theresa looked at them in alarm. These people were clearly malicious and she was their target.
Seeing them grab her without saying a word, they knew who she was, and that was why they were being so direct.
The two men were staring at her and the driver was in front, everyone was completely ignoring her.
Theresa began to scream uncontrollably as she struggled, âLet me go!â.
The driver seemed to think she was being too loud and yelled at the two men, âDonât let her scream!â.
One of the men immediately covered her mouth and warned her, âBehave yourself!â.
Theresaâs brain went blank. Everything was terrifying. She just wanted to get out of this frightening place quickly, but what rational mind she had left told her that she couldnât escape from here.
All she could do was calm down for a while and wait for the right opportunity to escape.
Theresaâs heart fluttered even more as the car drove farther and farther away from the city.
Within an hour, the car had moved completely away from the city and had reached the shore of Repulse Bay.
However, in front of the two sturdy men, he had no chance of escape.
There were a bunch of fishing boats parked near the beach in front of a building under construction that faced the hill. After the car stopped, the two huge men roughly pulled Theresa out of the car. Since she was not walking, they grabbed her by the arms and dragged her with them toward the boat.
Theresa, frightened and anxious, screamed frantically, âIs anyone here? Help! Is anyone here? Help me⦠Helpâ¦â
Smack One of the men holding her slapped her and warned her viciously, âIf you dare scream again, Iâll kill you!â
Theresaâs head turned to the side with the force of the slap, her cheek felt hot and painful. The taste of blood slowly spread in her mouth as she tried to speak, âYou want money? As long as they let me go, Iâm willing to give them all the money I have now.â
Theresa had no relatives in this country, let alone enemies, she couldnât think of anyone who could kidnap her.
The only thing she could think of was that these men would kidnap her for money.
However, the men would not budge at the mention of money. They warned her fiercely, âYouâd better behave yourself. Donât yell and scream. Weâre tough guys, if you try to move, weâll skin you alive. So you better behave yourself.â
Theresa felt desperate. All the blood in her body seemed to have frozen instantly. They werenât doing it for money? Then why?
Theresaâs face looked ashen. Her tongue felt stiff in her mouth as she stammered for a long time before finally asking, âCan you tell me why you are kidnapping me? Even if itâs to kill me, donât you think I should know why?â.
One of the men lost his patience and grabbed her by the jaw, âDonât you understand human words or what? Why have we kidnapped you? Youâll know when you get there, dammit. Now, stop telling me that goddamn nonsense!â.
Theresa didnât dare ask any more questions. She couldnât dare let these people hurt her again. She wasnât alone now. She wasnât taking care of herself, but she had to take care of the baby she was carrying in her womb.
Soon, Theresa was taken by them to an old fishing boat. On the wooden plank were fishing nets with dead fish. She didnât know how long they had been rotting there. They put her in the small cabin of the boat. Everything was dirty and smelled strongly of rotting fish.
Theresa was already sensitive to odors and had a tendency to vomit violently. When the fishy smell reached her nostrils, the acid in her stomach churned. She retched⦠âEw!â
He couldnât hold it in any longer. She leaned against the small square window and vomited violently.
The two men looked at her with disgust, but ignored her. There was no other door in the cabin, only that small window through which she could stick her head out but couldnât get out of. Even if she had gotten out, she would have fallen into the sea.
Theresa kept her head stretched out the window, breathing in the fresh air outside.
With her physical weakness and mental pressure, she could barely keep a cool head in the face of it all and just felt dizzy.
She didnât know for how long she remained like this. Then, the cabin shuddered, followed by footsteps. Theresaâs nerves tensed. She turned immediately and saw Phoebe standing in the doorway of the cabin. She wanted to say something, but saw Mrs. Leslie being held by people behind her. Theresaâs eyes widened, âWhat do you want to do?â
Phoebe let out a mocking laugh, âCanât you see what I want to do?â.
Now she had nothing. Cody didnât want her now and Armand hated her too.
If this woman no longer existed, she could bring Armand back, it was all this womanâs fault!
He hated Theresa for taking Armand away and he hated Mistress Leslie for not wanting her.
Because Armand cared so much about them, he had them both kidnapped.
He motioned for the men to tie up Theresa and Mistress Leslie.
Theresa struggled, âPhoebe, are you out of your mind?â
Phoebe crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered disdainfully, âCrazy?
Hahaha, Iâm completely sane. I have nothing left, so Iâm not afraid of anything.
If Iâm not happy, no one else should be!â.
He entered the small hut, stepping on the dead husks on the floor from time to time and making a crunching sound. He stopped in front of the bound Theresa and grabbed her by the chin, âYou had planned it, didnât you?â
If she didnât plan it and didnât investigate her, then how did he know her past so clearly?
Theresa was confused, âWhat plan?â
Phoebe pinched her chin, âStop acting!â.
If it wasnât her, who else could have investigated her through every possible avenue and let Armand know?
Who else had reason to do so, except Theresa?
âI really donât know what youâre talking aboutâ¦â Theresaâs stammering voice came out of her throat.
Phoebe didnât believe it at all. She was sure it had been Theresa who had done it.
Because no one but Theresa could benefit from this affair. After this, Armand hated her and naturally went back to Theresa.
Theresa still didnât know what Phoebe was talking about. However, she did know one thing. Phoebeâs hatred of her was mainly due to Armand. Her heart strained bitterly in agony.
This man, not only had he hurt her, he was still hurting her.
âThe person you hate is me, why did you kidnap Mistress Leslie? She is still sick. You and Armand used to be happy after all, have you no pity for your old love?â old love?
Armand threw her out so decisively, what pity did he have?
Phoebe slapped Theresa across the face viciously. Disgusted by her beautiful young face, her strength increased as she wished to disfigure Theresa and destroy her face.
âDonât worry, weâll play an interesting game in a little while.â
After speaking, Phoebe laughed like a mad, evil witch.
Theresa shuddered. She kept thinking that Phoebe had gone mad, otherwise she wouldnât have been so unhinged.
Mistress Leslie still couldnât speak, so she could only stare at her fiercely, wanting to tear a hole in her with her eyes.
Mistress Leslie thought in her heart that this woman was not a good person and had finally revealed her true colors.
Just as Theresa was racking her brains to try to persuade Phoebe, another person walked in.
