Her body, too, had deteriorated due to neglect.
For Tessa, life had lost its meaning and purpose.
Today, she was prepared to gamble with her life.
A win meant escape and riches, while a loss would mean dragging Raegan and Mitchel down with her.
Raegan watched Tessa with alarm.
The latterâs behavior was erratic and far removed from sanity.
At this moment, Raegan tried to appeal to Tessaâs remaining reason and advised, âTessa, donât make things worse for yourself.
Let me go now, and you might still have a chance.
But if you cross the line, there will be no turning back.
â
âLet you go? Keep dreaming!â Tessa laughed terrifyingly, bringing shiver down Raeganâs spine.
âOh, Iâll release you.
But straight to hell.
You and Mitchel can be together there.
â
Fear gripped Raeganâs heart.
She realized that Tessa was beyond reasoning.
Without another word, Tessa gagged Raegan with a cloth and took out a strange, custom-made phone.
Then, she started a video call.
âNow, letâs see where Mr.
Dixon is.
â
A moment later, the video connected.
Mitchel appeared on the screen.
His clothes were untouched, but his hair was slightly disheveled.
Raegan, on the other hand, could not be seen in the video.
Mitchel kicked the bag beside him and said in a cold, business-Like tone, âTessa, Iâm almost at the location you gave me.
Iâve brought the money with me.
â
âPrompt as ever, Mitchel,â Tessa remarked.
âI deliver the money, you deliver the person.
Thatâs the deal.

âItâs been a while since I last saw you.
Iâve missed you, Mitchel, butâ¦â Tessa laughed maliciously and added, âYouâre too formidable, Mitchel.
You scare me.
â
Mitchel gritted his teeth in frustration.
âWhat do you want?â
âFirst, stab yourself twice.
Then, Iâll give you the exact Location.
And remember, you go in alone.
â
In a defiant gesture, Mitchel drew a woman over and showed her to the screen.
âDo you think the life of your mother and this money are enough leverage, Tessa?â
The screen then revealed Kenia.
Her mouth was bleeding and swollen, clearly a victim of abuse.
