Chapter 196

Chapter 196

I started to feel unwell, but my mind was telling me to bear with it. I believed Bailey had already called the cops. If they could get here in time, I’d have a chance to escape.

But Russel was faster. After hearing his voice, I felt utterly hopeless.

“Trene!” He roared with anger and anxiety

Suddenly, a knife was put to my throat. Someone threatened Russel, “Drink the bottle of water on the table, or I’ll kill her!”

I tried to open my eyes. My vision was blurry, but I could see Russel in the distance. He walked over to a table and drank from a bottle of water.

I wanted to stop him, but my voice was weak, ‘Russel…”

Once Russel finished the water, the man next to me bolted, and I heard the sound of the door locking.

Without a second’s hesitation, Russel ran to me and held me in his arms. It was only then that I could see his face clearly. His handsome face was filled with worry and anger.

“Russel, call the cops. The water… it was drugged…”I was burning up and could barely breathe.

“Drugged?” Russel glanced at the empty bottle.

I could smell his scent, like some kind of shower gel, and it felt like I was in a field of flowers

Was this how Neil felt when he was drugged and out of control?

Even though I didn’t have any romantic feelings for Russel, his charm was hard to resist. He was handsome, in good shape, and a real hunk.

I could feel that something was off with him too. He was radiating the same heat as me, and his eyes were getting dull.
