Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 208 Go Back To Save Nancy (2)

“That’s impossible,” Puck exclaimed, visibly agitated, as he stared at Nancy in disbelief.

Nancy continued, “But it’s true. Nicholas and I are divorced. Do you think they would leave a small debt like this unresolved? Nicholas’ family is wealthy. That’s why it’s pointless to take me.” Her heart raced. She knew she couldn’t turn back now. If she couldn’t save herself, she would die. She understood that her survival depended on her wit.

Desperately hoping to wear down her captors, she aimed to portray herself as worthless, in the hope that they might release her. She knew the chances of that happening were slim, but she wanted to take a chance.

Just as she finished speaking, she could sense the man wavering. Just when she thought there was hope, he abruptly turned around and glared at her.

“You’re ten years too early to engage in psychological warfare with me, girl. I don’t care if you’re divorced. Either the Sallows pay me, and I let you go, or…” Puck raised his hand and swung it down towards her neck. “I get rid of you and pretend this never happened.”.

Panic surged through her. Her only escape route was blocked, and she thought to herself, Am I really going to die here?

It was a long night. Nancy was tied to a pole, her limbs tightly bound. The ground was icy, and she sat on it, her entire body cold and stiff. The back of her head throbbed in pain. She remembered how it got hit. Hugo shoved her when he tried to snatch her phone away, and she collided with the coffee table.

The bleeding had stopped, but the pain persisted. Every time the pain flared up, her head felt like it would explode. With each wave of pain, she leaned against the pillar and took deep breaths, trying to alleviate the agony.

Once again, the pain surged. She gripped the hay on the ground as tightly as she could. Her fingernails dug into her flesh, but the pain in her body was still more intense. Sweat covered her face and soaked her shirt.

And then, the moon rose into the sky. Nancy stared at it, stunned, and thought, What a beautiful moon. Look, Nicholas. The moon is so big. So beautiful. Can you see it where you are, too?
