But after Nyx went missing, that family–feeling cheated–actually contacted the traffickers to demand a refund. Their chat logs became new evidence.

Nyx was rendered speechless. When a situation was so absurd, all she could do was laugh.

Hearing her chuckle, Archie stole a glance at her. “By the way, I still don’t know your name?”

Nyx snapped back to reality, her expression returning to normal. “Nyx Voss.”
