The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

hapter 13 Mr John Gave Lily to Another Man!

“What do you want from me? Let go! Don’t touch me!”

Lily had no strength to fight back. She could only force herself to stay calm and try to reason with them.

“Who sent you? I have money. If you let me go, I’ll pay you double!”

She scanned her surroundings carefully.

This commercial street, while a bit run–down, still had surveillance cameras.

She had even shopped here at night before–it always felt safe. She never imagined something like this would happen.

She thought about calling out for help, but by sheer bad luck, the street was completely empty tonight. No pedestrians, no one in sight–just her and these men. There was no one to help her.

“You have money?”

As if they’d heard the funniest joke in the world, the men burst into mocking laughter. “You think you’ve got more money than Mr. John?”

“Tonight, Mr. John sent us.”

“You pissed off Mr. John. You deserve whatever we do to you!”

John…

Even wrapped in a thick wool coat, Lily felt herself go cold all over at the mention of that name.

She knew John favored Elsa. But she always believed that after four years of standing by each other, he wouldn’t push her to ruin like this.

In the moment she froze, the men shoved her into the trunk of a beat–up van.

It was pitch black inside. A crushing sense of dread swallowed her whole.

The stench of that drug was overwhelming, leaving her completely powerless.

She took a few deep breaths and kept trying to reason with them. “I can give you ten million. Let me go, and I won’t go to the police. We’ll pretend tonight never happened.”

“You really have ten million?”

Clearly, the offer made the men hesitate.

The man calling himself John had only offered them five million total, including the deposit and the rest of the payout.

“If you really give us ten million, I—”
