When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 106

“Kristin!” Bill bolted down the alley, his eyes darting desperately from shadow to shadow.

Where could she be?

“Kristin!”

The alley echoed his calls, a lonely silence that offered no clues. He ran and searched, but Kristin was nowhere to be found.

He didn’t know Kristin had a habit of seeking a corner to hide in when spooked.

Terrified, she curled up beside a dumpster, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Six years ago, she had too many drinks at a party and was led, her mind foggy, Into a room.

Fear gripped her as she struggled internally, screaming silently, her body not responding to her commands.

Desperate to escape, she fought to keep her mind alert, but it was futile.

Pounding on the door, she cried for help, thrashing against her invisible restraints, but nobody came to her rescue.

She might have considered jumping to escape the horror if not for the hotel’s sealed panoramic windows.

She huddled in the corner, slowly losing hope in humanity.

“Slut, shameless.”

“Look at the marks on her body. She’s not even dressed properly.”

“See, there’s blood on the bed. How could this woman be so disgraceful?”

Before she woke up the following morning, Ruby and Vincent burst into the room with reporters

in tow.

Like a fish thrown ashore to die of thirst, she was in her final throes.

Helplessly crying, she begged Vincent to help her, but Vincent’s gaze was cold, malicious, and alien, filled with disgust. Each look cast her deeper into hell.

What was her fault? The fault lay with those who hurt her.

But no one believed her. Everyone wanted to crush her into the mud beyond redemption.

In her fear, even breathing became a struggle.
