The Wrong Woman

Chapter 12

It was dark and quiet that night.

After taking a bath, Suzanne went out to her balcony and sat in one of the rattan chairs while scrolling through the messages on her phone.

Ken, the guy who had held her hostage, had been killed on the spot. The hostages in Technive had all been rescued safely. Nathan’s team had also caught the rest of the perpetrators and handed them over to the police.

Suzanne’s bag and phone had been found. But she discovered that her own brother had transferred all the money she had saved for the past three years. *

As of now, Suzanne didn’t have a single penny to her name. The only thing she had left was her phone.

Nathan’s firm footsteps eventually grew louder. Each step he took felt like a throb in Suzanne’s heart. She found it harder and harder to breathe.
