Caroline’s POV
The moment I woke up, silence greeted me.
I couldn’t see anything for my eyes were covered with a black cloth, and my mouth was sealed with
tape as well All I could remember was that when I left the hospital, a man wearing a baseball cap
entered the elevator with me Once I reached the underground parking lot, someone behind me covered
my mouth and nose with a cloth.
A pungent odor made me faint
"So I was kidnapped"
I strained almost every nerve in my body when I realized that fact.I tried my best to not panic.
For only when I could stay calm would I be able to think of a way to escape.
Based on what I could feel, it seemed like I was lying on a bed.I could feel a soft quilt on me.I dared not
move.I just listened to the sounds coming from outside in silence.
There were other people in this room with me.I could hear the sound of a chair moving.
Then, someone opened the door. A person walked into the room.
The beating of my heart swayed to the sound of unhurried footsteps approaching Ine.
Soon, I felt someone raise my chin and touch my face.
The smell of a pungent, warm breath sprayed onto my face. I turned my head to avoid it and struggled
violently.
Unfortunately, my whole body was tied up and my mouth was sealed.
No matter how much I struggled, it would all be in vain.
"Oh, you’re awake so soon? Don’t worry, little lady.I’ll untie you later."
The voice was from a man.It sounded familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had heard it from.
Suddenly, the black cloth covering my eyes was removed.
Light appeared before my eyes.
It was dazzling, so I had to close my eyes.I tried to move, causing me to fall off the bed.I accidentally
hit my head on the floor, and the pain made me feel dizzy. The man picked me up and threw me back
to the bed.
He then leaned closer towards me.
When I finally adapted to the light in the room, I saw the man’s face.
"Long time no see, Caroline."
It was Boris, the wretched doctor who gave me a surgery a year ago while I was having a miscarriage.
He tore off the tape that sealed my mouth, "Boris? Why did you kidnap me? What do you intend to do?"
I asked.
"Honey, slow down! You have so many questions that I don’t even know which one to answer first."
Boris’ face was so close to mine.I could only turn my face away from him just to avoid him.
"Then tell me what it is that you want.If you agree to let me go, I’ll do my best to meet your demands." I
tried my best to calm down and negotiate with him.
"Meet my demands?"Boris sneered.
"I want one billion dollars.You think you can give me that?"
He paused for a moment and continued, "A year ago, I lost a lot of money because of gambling, and I
ended up with a mountain of debt.Raina came to me and gave me some money in exchange for
making you miscarry.Though I know you’re just a victim in all of this, I had to agree.If I don’t pay my
creditors back, they’re going to break one of my arms.So, during my time as your attending doctor, I
added something to the medicine that was injected into your system."
‘So… this was the truth of my miscarriage, huh?’
Boris touched my cheek and said in a guilty voice, "Caroline, I’ve been a doctor for over a decade.I’ve
witnessed the birth and recovery of countless children Never have I imagined that I’d kill one.I thought
that as long as I could pay my debt and stayed far away, this whole matter would be over.In my heart, I
still believed that if I could work for a different hospital, I could start anew and become a good doctor
again."
"You’re the devil!" I snarled, wanting to tear him apart.
"This is all Charles’ fault! He had asked his men to investigate my crime. Look at me! I can’t show up
anywhere, let alone work in any hospital.All I can do is hole up somewhere like a fucking mouse!
Charles ruined my God-forsaken life!"
The more Boris spoke, the more riled up he became. Suddenly, he smirked and pinched my chin.
"I wonder how Charles would feel if i fuck the woman he loves the most.Do you think he’ll be in more
pain than I am?"
His perverted eyes fell on my body.
Panicking, I began to struggle yet again.
"If you dare touch me, Charles will make sure you rot in hell!" I growled.
"Oh, don’t worry, honey.You’re going to meet him pretty soon."
Having said that, he took out his phone and made the call. When the call connected, I heard Charles
ask, "Who is this?"
Just as I was about to cry for help, Boris covered my mouth.
"Charles, if you want to see Caroline alive, bring one billion dollars to meet me at eight in the evening.I
will send you the address.Don’t play any tricks, otherwise…"
Boris stopped mid sentence and removed his hand from my mouth
"Charles!" I shouted.
With that, Boris ended the call.He then put his phone aside and stared at me.
Based on the obscene look in his eyes, I could tell what he wanted to do.I shrank bank, and shouted,
"Don’t come any closer!"
Grinning from ear to ear, he came closer to me and tore my clothes apart.
"Hush now.I’m going to satisfy you even more than Charles."
Fear overcame my heart.I kicked down the glass beside the bed, causing it to fall to the ground and
shatter.
"Boris, focus on the money first!"
Samantha suddenly opened the door, interrupting Boris.
It was then that I realized that she was in cahoots with this monster! Samantha walked over, raising her
chin proudly.
In a sarcastic tone, she said, "Caroline, you are so effing beautiful You’re just like a pretty little princess!
You have a rich father, and a handsome husband-oh, wait! Ex-husband.Aside from that, you also have
countless pursuers.You’re infuriated that you got kidnapped by me today, are you?"
I looked into her eyes and said, "Samantha, I thought we were friends!"
"Friends? You really thought I was your friend? You already have everything.If I stay by your side, I’ll
end up being your foil and nothing more.As long as you’re here, Charles will never care about me.It’s
fucking unfair!"
Samantha cursed, and then she slapped me right across the face.
The force of her slap caused me to stumble to the ground.
A shard of glass pierced my body.I secretly picked up a shard of glass and hid it in my sleeve.
"It’s a pity that you’ll disappear from the face of the earth after today.Since I can’t be with Charles,
neither can you."
Samantha squatted down, staring at me with complacence in her eyes.
"Samantha, why do you covet something that doesn’t belong to you? You can pursue your own love!"
While I was speaking to them, my hands were moving behind my back.
I used the shard of glass that I hid to cut the hemp rope tying my wrists little by little. Before Charles
could appear, I had to buy as much time as possible, I was certain that he’d come to save me But
before that, I had to protect myself.
"Samantha, you’re an incredible therapist You’re kind, considerate, and generous.And besides, you’re
really beautiful! But do you know why Charles doesn’t like you?"
I could feel that Samantha’s mood had changed for a moment !
"It’s because…"
I tried my best to pique her interest with my words.
By now, my palms were sweating to the brim.
However, she interrupted me
"Shut the hell up! I don’t wanna know!"
Samantha stood up, smirked, and said to Boris, "Didn’t you want to fuck her for a long time? She’s all
yours."
Her words left me shocked and scared.
My heart began racing. The hemp rope tying my hands together was half-broken, but it was still not
enough for me to remove it.
When Samantha left my side, Boris came to me and towered over me.
Every passing second, I felt more and more nervous.
I tried to break away from the hemp rope, but I failed.
‘What am I supposed to do now? Is there really nothing I can do?’
At this time, Boris began touching me all over my body.
With great interest, Samantha took out her phone and began recording the whole thing.I head-butted
Boris’ stomach to stop him.
"Go the fuck away! Don’t touch me!"
At long last, I had broken the hemp rope.I quickly untied the rope on my feet.
When Boris pounced on me again, I kicked his crotch, got up, and ran towards the door.
However, someone grabbed my hair from behind.
My scalp hurt so much and I was dragged to the ground.
Boris got on top of me, stared down at me, and gritted his teeth.
"Bitch, you still have the nerve to run away? I’ll kill you!"
Meanwhile, Samantha was standing beside when she said, "Hurry the fuck up, Boris.Don’t forget what
we agreed upon."
"Yeah, I won’t.As long as I kill this bitch and get the one billion dollars that I asked for, everything that
happened today has nothing to do with you."
Boris unbuckled his belt and came close to me, wearing a devilish grin.
"No!" I shook my head in desperation, and tears began to blur my vision.
Charles’ POV:
Elena called me and told me that Caroline was missing.She had already left the hospital, but Elena
didn’t see her in the underground parking lot
"Damn! Something must’ve happened to Caroline!’ I thought as I hung up the phone.
I asked Richard to gather all the security footage around the hospital and near Caroline’s villa. While I
was waiting for any report, I felt desperate and anxious.I was worried that something bad might happen
to Caroline.
It frightened me that if I were even a second later, I would lose her forever.
Soon, Richard sent the security footage to me, along with a woman.
It was Doris, Samantha’s assistant.
"Where is Samantha? What are they planning to do with Caroline?"
Like an enraged lion, I grabbed Doris by the collar and interrogated her.
Frightened by me, Doris said in a trembling voice, "Samantha said that she intends to erase Caroline
from existence, and then she drove away alone.That’s all I know!"
She then knelt on the ground and added, "She had been asking me to give money to a doctor named
Boris and to hide him.I’m guessing this has something to do with him.That’s all the information I have,
Mr.Moore.Please… forgive me."
Fueled by rage, I kicked her away.
‘No wonder I can’t find Boris! Samantha was behind this whole farce all along!’
Just when I was about to use all the connections I had to look for Caroline, I received a call from Boris.
He asked me to drop off a billion dollars in cash to a designated location, and threatened me that
Caroline would die if I didn’t give in to his demands.I immediately asked someone to pinpoint the IP
address of Boris’ phone.
"Bring me my helicopter.Everyone, let’s go! We’re going to save Caroline," I commanded.
Caroline, please wait for me.I’m going to bring you home!’
