Chapter 1000

And it was Bruce who had saved her.

Just as Millie was preparing to enter the cafe to thank Bruce, he stood and walked into the mall. Millie

followed him.

Bruce made his way into the shopping mall, boarded the elevator, and descended to a lower level.

Millie noted the floor where the elevator stopped and followed in the same direction.

Soon she arrived at an underground mall, a place dimly lit and filled with the sound of music.

Was this an underground bar?

She looked in the direction Bruce had gone and cautiously followed.

But only a few steps later, someone seized her from behind and pulled her into a dark room.

“ARI”

She was thrust against the door, and with no light, she could see nothing.

“Who are you?” she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.

The man holding her was tall, and she could detect a unique fragrance about him.

Millie tried to push him away, but he remained unmoved.

Without a word, he reached out and slowly caressed her face.

His hand explored Millie’s features, causing her legs to tremble involuntarily. Why didn’t he speak?

Just as she was about to kick him, he said coldly, “Don’t move.”

His authoritative voice made Millie recoil.

“Who are you?” she asked again.

“Are you so curious to know who I am?” the man replied, his hand leaving her face to stroke her hair.

“It seems you don’t recognize my voice.” He spoke in a deep tone and then turned away. In the faint

light, she could only make out his tall silhouette.

As soon as he was gone, Millie rushed to the door.

She never should have followed Bruce here.

She turned the doorknob several times, but the door remained shut.

Desperation set in.
