Chapter 2097

On the other side, Stella found herself abruptly snatched and dragged next to Beck, a blindfold darkening her world.

All she had wanted was to pop downstairs to the supermarket for some groceries. Little did she know, she'd end up kidnapped, clueless about her captor's identity.

Beck, seated mightily in his chair, looked down upon her with a gaze that sent chills down her spine.
