Dear Sweetheart novel

Selena traced her finger down Rayna’s tummy as she said, “You should worry about yourself, Rayna! Judging by the

size of your tummy, you must be pretty far along, huh? Well, guess what? You’ll get to see your babies soon! Aren’t

you excited?”

Rayna glared daggers at her as she yelled, “You’re crazy!”

“Yes, I am, and it’s all your fault! You’re the one who drove me crazy! It was you who took my baby from me!”

Selena snapped back at her while pressing hard on Rayna’s tummy.

Rayna found herself suffocating from the sudden pressure on her stomach.

She could definitely tell that her babies were suffering as well.

Feeling satisfied with Rayna’s anguished expression, Selena broke into a sadistic smile and pressed down even

harder. She was determined to torture Rayna as much as possible.

Suddenly, one of the men walked up to her and said, “Miss, you have a call from Mr. Nicholson.”

Selena had no choice but to let go of Rayna and answer the phone. “Hey, Dad!” she said in the gentlest voice

possible.

A few seconds later, she continued, “Some thugs tried to bully me while I was eating at the restaurant earlier, so I

got scared and fired my gun. Yeah, I’m fine. I’ll join you and Mom for dinner at home later.”

After ending the call, Selena turned around and waved the phone at Rayna. “Did you hear that? Bringing you here

and torturing you to death is as easy as squashing a bug! Curtis is just a businessman, so there’s not much he can

do here in Norwal City. He wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me even if I kill you right now!” she said with a crazed

smile.

Even the businessman with the largest network in the corporate world would still be powerless against the military

and the government. Curtis may be good at making money, but that’s all he can do!

With that in mind, Selena stared Rayna down as she continued, “You have only yourself to blame for choosing the

wrong person to mess with!”

Rayna was struggling just to breathe, so she didn’t say anything in response.

I don’t know if Curtis will see my GPS signal and show up in time to rescue us, but I don’t have the time to wait and

find out. Selena has clearly lost her mind. I need to find a way to get myself and Carl out of here before she does

anything further!

After waiting around for a bit, Selena asked the man again, “Where’s the doctor? Why is he taking so long?”

The man quickly made a phone call to check on the doctor.

Feeling a little better with the pressure being lifted off her tummy, Rayna slowly moved herself toward Carl and

sneakily untied him.

She then slipped the ring onto his finger and whispered, “If you press the handbag on the ring, it’ll fire a little needle

that can knock someone out in an instant.”

Carl nodded in acknowledgement.

Noticing that they were being very close to each other, one of the men pointed his gun at Carl and ordered, “Move

away from her!”

“I’m not feeling well. I need to use the restroom.” Rayna’s face was already pale, so she didn’t need to put up much

of an act.

The man went up to Selena and said, “Miss, that woman says she needs to use the restroom.”

“Nonsense! Tell her to hold it in!” Selena replied in annoyance.

“I’m not feeling so good, Ms. Young. Please don’t let me use the restroom. I don’t want to cause a mess here…”

Rayna pleaded weakly.

Selena could barely stand being in the abandoned nursing home, which was filthy and stinky due to its state of

neglect.

The mere thought of how Rayna would worsen the place if she defecated later disgusted her to the core. She then

walked up to Rayna, dragged her violently across the corridor, and shoved he into a restroom cubicle.

Due to the restroom being damp throughout the year, there was moss growing everywhere.

Rayna had to be extra careful when walking for fear of slipping and falling down.

After glancing about, her gaze fell upon a container that was filled with water.

The pipe on the wall had cracked, so filthy water kept dripping into the container.

After checking the distance between them and the container, an idea began to form in Rayna’s head.

“I can’t lift my skirt with my hands tied. Could you do it for me?” Rayna asked when they stopped in front of a toilet.

“What a pain!” Selena exclaimed with a gloomy look on her face as she lowered her head.

Right when Selena was about to lift Rayna’s skirt, Rayna slammed her forehead into Selena’s nose as hard as she

could.

As Selena was knocked back by a few steps, she slipped on the moss and fell into the container.

Before Selena even realized what was going on, Rayna had lunged forward and jumped on top of her.

By placing her entire body weight on Selena, Rayna was able to press her head into the filthy water.

Selena flailed her arms frantically as she tried to get up but to no avail. She then grabbed hold of Rayna’s hair and

tugged at it as hard as she could.

Despite having a huge chunk of her hair ripped out, Rayna simply clenched her teeth and continued pressing

Selena’s head down in the water.

She knew full well that she had to do so in order to protect herself and Carl.

Rayna didn’t dare let go of Selena even when the latter’s struggles gradually weakened.

She was about to apply more pressure to Selena’s head when a loud bang echoed throughout the bathroom. The

next thing Rayna knew, a sharp pain was tearing through her leg. It was so intense that she nearly fainted on the

spot.

Someone then grabbed Rayna by the back of her neck and yanked her off Selena. “Ow!” she groaned in pain when

she was thrown to the floor.

“Miss! Miss!” the man shouted while pulling Selena’s head out of the container. He then gave her a few pumps on

the chest, causing her to cough up a huge mouthful of filthy water.

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Selena turned toward Rayna and shouted angrily, “How dare you try to

kill me?”

She then shoved the man off her and demanded, “Give me the gun!”

The man did as told and handed Selena his gun.

Having been shot in the calf, Rayna was in so much pain that her arms felt like jelly, and she couldn’t even sit up

straight.

Fear and panic filled her eyes when she saw Selena point the gun at her and cock the hammer.

However, there was nothing she could do except close her eyes and accept her fate.

Selena burst out laughing maniacally when she saw the look of despair on Rayna’s face.

Suddenly, the guy next to Selena felt a sharp pain in his gut as he was sent flying toward the wall.

A figure then lunged at Selena and twisted her wrist, pointing the gun at the man lying on the ground.

In her state of panic, Selena squeezed the trigger by accident, firing a bullet straight into that man’s chest.

Before she even realized what was happening, she had been pinned to the floor with the tip of the gun pressing

hard against her chest.

Bang!

The figure opened fire on her chest at point-blank range, causing some of her blood to spray onto his gloomy-

looking face.

“Y-You…” Selena’s eyes went wide with disbelief as she stared at the figure, who turned out to be Curtis. What the…

I can’t believe this… Did Curtis just kill me?

Selena had stopped breathing the moment the bullet went through her chest.

Curtis calmly tossed the gun aside and ran over to help Rayna up.

His hands began to tremble when he saw the wound on her calf and tried to treat it.

Had he arrived just a second later, Rayna would probably have been shot.

After bandaging the wound on her leg, Curtis touched her arm and asked, “Are you okay?”

Rayna was in so much shock that she just kept shivering while in a dazed state.

Curtis felt his heart ache when he saw the blank look in her eyes. “I’m sorry I was late, but you’re fine now. Look at

me, Rayna.”

As Rayna slowly came back to her senses, she was finally able to get a clear look at Curtis’ face.

“I… I…” Rayna burst out crying all of a sudden, “What took you so long? I’ve never been this scared my entire life! I

seriously thought I was done for!”

She wasn’t this scared even when an assassin broke into her room when she was in Tyrandas with Curtis.
