Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 79 We Are the Ones Being Tailed?

We were crouched behind an SUV, trying to stay as quiet as possible while those footsteps got closer.

Sounded like a whole crew was coming. Just as I was about to think of a plan, my phone decided to ring at the worst possible moment.

The underground garage was dead silent, so my ringtone was like a freakin' alarm. It was an unknown number. I quickly shut it off, but it was too late; the footsteps were heading straight for us. Sensing trouble, Bella yanked me up, and we were surrounded by a bunch of dudes.

I recognized a few faces; they were Zachary's henchmen.

Soon enough, Walter showed up. No sign of Andrea, probably too chicken to face us.

Walter pushed through his crew, grinning like he owned the place. "Well, well, who would've thought the ones tailing me were two lovely ladies?"

I thought, 'So, we are the ones being tailed?'

Bella and I exchanged looks. She glared at Walter and scoffed. "You need a whole gang to handle two women? Pathetic. How about a one-on-one?" One of the shorter guys mumbled, "Zachary said we can't touch Bella."

Walter didn't give a damn and turned his eyes on me. Just as I got a bad feeling, he said, "Zachary didn't say anything about her friend, right?"

With that, Walter grabbed my arm and yanked me over.

Bella got pissed and pointed at Walter. "Try anything funny, and you'll regret it."

I struggled, but two guys grabbed my arms, making it impossible to break free.

"I know you're good at Taekwondo. If you stay put, we won't do anything. But if you try something, don't blame us for getting rough with your friend," Walter warned.

These guys might not stand a chance against Bella, but she had to think about my safety, so she didn't make a move.

I got dragged into a car. As we drove off, I heard Bella shout, "If you touch her, I'll ruin your dick."

Inside the car, they didn't tie me up or gag me. They just sat on either side, making escape a no-go.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, trying to keep my cool.

Walter, sitting to my left, stroked his chin and smirked. "Scared? If you're scared, don't play detective. This job ain't for the faint-hearted."

Thinking about the evidence on my phone, I gripped it tighter.

He answered, saying Zachary's name, then glanced at me and said,
