The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 172

Corinne escaped from the warehouse and wandered in the wild alone without her phone. Her kidnappers must have thrown it away when they took her.

It was pitch-black, and the clouds obstructed any sliver of moonlight from reaching the land, making it difficult to tell the direction. Corinne thus tried to find a place to hide until daylight would come to find a way back.

This place was even worse than an actual jungle. She could have found a cave in one, but this wasteland had nowhere she could go to take shelter. Other than bramble weed, there was not even a tree that she could take cover in!

Raindrops started to fall from the sky. Without a place to take cover, she could only let the rain fall on her.

All of a sudden, she heard footsteps from behind her, as well as a flashlight beam moving at random.

Only the accomplices of the kidnappers were out here in the wild.

Corinne held her breath and crawled into the bush to hide.
