Chapter 122 - Wont Kill You Yet (1/2)
Karen walked towards the door to her boutique with the dangling keys in her hand. The metal sounds of keys shoving the other as she walked, annoyed her greatly. She could feel her perspiration dewing her skin from her forehead to any parts of skin that was showing. The cold sweat from her body soaked through her shirt, making her shiver even more than the breezy night.
As her fingers tightened around the knob and rotated it, she noticed something abnormal. Just a gentle push on the door and already, an acrid smell worked up her nostrils; almost making her vomit on the spot. She slowly stepped backwards and minimized her movements. Perhaps, she still had enough time to make a run for it, or so she thought she did.
When the door creaked slightly opened and nobody entered the following seconds, one of the guards already climbed out of the window and blocked off the entrance. There was only one entrance and exit, so if she were to escape, she would be caught.
Sweat dripped down her ghastly pale skin. Her eyes widened as she took deep breaths slowly. On the count to three in her mind, she turned away and ran for the steps. Unfortunately, the guard inside the room would never let her get out of the building.
Using an umbrella's hook handle, the guard stepped out of the boutique and tripped her ankle with just the right amount of strength. She rolled down the stairs and bumped her head against the stone wall with great force. ”Sss...,” she touched the back of her head and noticed the tall figure approaching her.
His face was masked and clearly, his intentions were bad. Quickly, she crawled as she failed to balance herself to run again. She could only blame herself for slacking off in exercising normally. Her palms slipped on the first step of the stairs and her body slid down again.
”fucck..,” she cursed. Tired of chasing after her, the guard prevented her from crawling any further. The moment she moved again, the umbrella hook handle was already around her neck. If she moved even an extra step, her neck would be snapped.
”Move and you die instantly.” Since she was taken hostage by her own umbrella handle, she could only surrender for the time being. While waiting for further instructions from Zi Yan, Karen randomly spurted out words to bribe him. From giving him a huge ransom to trying to seduce him, she had failed miserably.
He tied her up using cable wires and shoved her to the cold floor. With the lights and heat off, Karen could only risk saving herself by screaming. Of course, she had been warned beforehand by the guards that if she makes any more attempts on escaping or hinting other people about her situation, then she will be meeting her end much sooner.
With her IQ and EQ being a negative, she decided to scream, ”help!!!!! ****!!!! Kidnap!!!” Immediately upon her shout, a cold sharp tip slashed across her face. One slash wasn't enough that Kitty took the sharp object in her left arm and slashed the other side of Karen's cheeks deeply.
The crimson liquid flowed down on both sides of her cheeks. It wasn't until the stench reached her nose and liquid had flowed to her neck did she realize that she was disfigured. Her eyes rolled upwards to meet a pair of fearless eyes.
”K..Kitty...?? You set me up??!!” Karen struggled to break free from the cables, but the specially tied knot could only be untied by the guard.
”Set you up? You're making yourself sound like a victim. You f.u.c.k.i.e.d up my life and flipped it upside down. You're only asking for Karma to get to you sooner. I'm playing fair. What they did to me, I'm only returning it twice the folds to you. It's okay if I only have one arm to break your two arms.”
