The man chuckled when he noticed her shaking. "Don't worry, everything's going to be okay." But his words only made Esther feel more anxious. She knew she was completely at their mercy.
She couldn't escape alone, so she hoped her friends, especially Pearl, would find her soon. She also really missed James at that moment.
She also regretted not staying close to Pearl. If Pearl had gone with her to the restroom, she might not have ended up in this situation.
The van kept going and finally entered a small, isolated village after driving for about five or six hours. It was dawn by then. When they arrived, they took Esther into the village as the sun was coming up. Eventually, they stopped at a house.

"Be quiet!" an older woman snapped at her.

"Soon, men will cto choose their brides from among et you. Don't refuse them, or it will be worse for you," she warned S Esther felt even more afraid.
But the two women beside her were even more panicked. One tried to jump out of bed and run, but she couldn't get far because she was tied up. A gruff-looking man by the door kicked her back down.
