Could it really be that James had come?
Sophie carefully surveyed her surroundings, only to discover she was locked in a pitch-dark room, with only the
faint moonlight seeping through from outside.
From her vantage point, she could clearly see the entirety of the outside space. This was an abandoned
construction site!
“Mmm! Mmm!”
Sophie tried to scream for help, but her mouth was already gagged with duct tape.
D a m n it! Who would want to kidnap her?
Sophie desperately tried to break free from the ropes, but the nylon ropes were not as forgiving as hemp,
making it impossible to break free.
Calm down, Sophie, you need to calm down.
Taking a deep breath, Sophie carefully observed her surroundings. She felt like she had been hearing a ‘beeping’
sound ever since she was brought here.
Suddenly, alarms went off in her head.
It’s a bomb!
Sophie immediately flattened her body and crawled towards the door of the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce she crawled out of the hollowed room, she was in the corridor of the abandoned building. It seemed, she
was about 15 stories above ground level.
Sophie banged her head against a nearby pillar, hoping James and the others could hear the noise.
Soon, Sophie heard the ‘tap tap’ of footsteps. The sound made Sophie pause. It didn’t sound like the noise of
men’s dress shoes but rather like high heels.
Sophie looked up and saw Nichole walking towards her.
Nichole’s expression was dark. She had just gotten out of the car and entered the abandoned building when she
caught a glimpse of Sophie upstairs.
If Sophie were dead, the position of Mrs. Burke would be vacant.
If Sophie were dead, there would be no obstacles between her and James.
Nichole walked towards Sophie, pretending to push her down the building.
Sophie sensed something was off but couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly.
Nearby, James also made his way up: “Sophie!”
Hearing James’ voice, Nichole immediately crouched down and started removing the tape from Sophie’s mouth.
“Sophie, are you okay? I'll get you free now.”
Sophie observed the worried expression on Nichole’s face, retaining a shadow of doubt in her heart. She hoped
her feelings were mistaken.

“How did you get up here?” James saw Nichole had also cup and frowned. “Didn't | tell you to stay in
the car?”
“I was worried about Sophie, so | thought I'd cup too.”
Nichole sounded slightly aggrieved.
Sophie said, “There's a bomb here, what about Colby and Adler? Tell them to run!”
“Let's go.”
James carried Sophie and shouted to
Colby and Adler, 1 sree m

Hearing James’ voice, Colby and Adler exchanged a look and quickly descended the stairs.
“What about Ryan?” Adler asked.
“Leave him,” said Colby coldly.

“Ah!”
Suddenly, Nichole screamed. James turned back to see that one of her high heels had broken.
“Mr. Burke, I'm sorry, | think | sprained my ankle.”
Seeing this, Sophie simply said, “Putdown, I'm alright.”
“Are you sure?”
