Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 104 I Cherish My Girl

"Better not move, or I can't promise I won't slip," the guy holding me warned in a low, menacing voice.

I almost screamed but managed to choke it back.

There were a bunch of people at the hospital entrance, but everyone was in such a rush that no one noticed me. Even if they did, who'd actually step in?

A white van screeched to a stop right in front of me.

"Get in," the guy ordered.

The knife tip pressed against my waist, and I could feel its cold blade even through my clothes.

I stepped into the van but froze when I saw a familiar Maybach nearby. I thought about yelling for Ethan, but I got shoved inside.

The door slammed shut, and the van sped off. I anxiously looked out the window.

The car lights were off, and Ethan hadn't gotten out. He must be waiting for me.

The van sped away, and the familiar car got smaller under the neon lights. With a turn, it disappeared from my sight.

A force yanked me back, and I fell into the van.

My hands were tied behind my back, and as the rope tightened around my wrists, a slow, deliberate voice sounded beside me.

"Don't worry. You'll see him soon enough."

I turned my head; it was the guy who had just held me hostage.

Now that I was tied up, he sat to the side, playing with the knife in his hand.

Forcing myself to stay calm, I looked around.

There were six guys in the van, including the driver. Each had various aggressive tattoos on their hands. The guy playing with the knife was different. Compared to the others, he was much more composed, focusing only on the knife's glint. Even though he was still, he exuded a chilling aura.

I didn't scream or shout, knowing it would be useless and only put me in a worse position.

So I looked at them calmly. "Who are you? And what do you want with me?"

The guy stopped spinning the knife, glanced at me, and a slightly frivolous smile appeared on his lips. "What do you think a man wants with a woman?" The guys in the van laughed.

My heart sank.

Another guy said, "If Ethan likes her, she must be something. But she looks pretty ordinary. Did we get the wrong person?"

"Maybe she's good in bed?" someone else chimed in mischievously.

Another round of laughter.
