Chapter 7

Without sparing a moment for thought, Tina ran.

 

She was afraid that Mr. Wallace would extend his wrath to the caretaker and children of the orphanage, and ran as fast as she could towards the opposite direction.

 

There was no way she could outrun an MPV, however, and was soon intercepted again, with two of Mr. Wallace’s goons keeping her restrained.

 

Tina despaired. Did she go through great lengths to escape the geezer’s clutches, only to die today anyway?

 

“What do we do with her, Mr. Wallace?” one of the goons asked.

 

Mr. Wallace chuckled as he rubbed his hands. “Tie her up, and wait outside the alley. I’ll deal with her!”

 

He had been nursing a terrible itch after Tina had escaped him before. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a spirited and rebellious woman, though that would only add to his thrill.

 

Hence, his goons brutishly tied her up, threw her to the floor and left.

 

Tina’s tears streamed as her thin shoulder slammed on the concrete floor, but she restrained her voice as she leveled a look of anger at Mr. Wallace.

 

That look only served to stimulate the man’s impulse to dominate her, however, and he clicked his tongue. “Little girl, I might just let you live if you play nice and obey me. Otherwise… Hah! I guess you know the tragic fate experienced by those other girls who had fallen within my grasp!”

 

Tina was left shuddering, and she wanted to curse and shout when she suddenly felt a brick and glass shards on the floor.

 

Feigning fear, she cried, “Please, Mr. Wallace, I’ll do anything you ask… but could you please free my hands first?”

 

“No way!” Mr. Wallace promptly refused. “Who knows if you’re going to run away?”

 

Tina merely kept her head down and continued to pretend to be afraid. “How am I going to run? This is an alley, and your men are standing guard. I would need wings to fly out of here…”

 

She continued speaking to Mr. Wallace, buying time as she worked hard to slice through the rope with a glass shard…
