Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 743 Human Nature is Selfish

At the hospital, Mia kept having the same nightmare on repeat.

She dreamt of the dude who had pinned her down, sneering at her, his words cutting deep.

"You're from the Montague family, right? I've seen you before. You're really beautiful. Pretty girl, running around here comes with a price." This was a real scene from that time. Mia had just bolted out of the storage room when she ran into this guy.

She hadn't expected him to know she was from the Montague family.

She thought she'd be safe hiding among the hostages, but one of the kidnappers knew who she was.

She turned pale with fear, and in that moment, a dark thought sprouted in her mind.

When faced with life and death, everyone is despicable. She hoped Selena would suddenly appear, kill the guy, and save her.

But the reality was, Selena wasn't there.

The guy's gun was already aimed at her chest, and he was about to pull the trigger without a second thought.

A strong survival instinct kicked in. She remembered how Selena had just seduced another guy, so she dropped to her knees.
