CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Bring Abducted under a Bridge

Lilian didn't have many things. She didn't take anything that Francis bought for her. She simply grabbed a small suitcase and walked out of the villa gate.

Lilian looked back at the villa where she had lived with Francis for three years.

But eventually she left without looking back.

She didn't know where she could go. She walked aimlessly along the road outside the villa in the dark night.

What did he want to prove by giving her half a month?

Did he want to prove that she couldn't live without him?

Lilian was penniless. She really had nowhere to go. Just like Francis said, if she left him, she would be homeless.

She didn't know how long she had been walking. The night grew deeper, and the temperature dropped lower. She hugged herself, shivering from the cold.

Lilian arrived at a bridge tunnel. The tunnel was brightly lit, and there were several people there.

They each occupied their own space, doing their own things.

Lilian hesitated for a moment, then walked to a place far away from them and squatted against the wall, holding her suitcase.

The people seemed to realize something and looked in her direction.

Lilian curled up, not looking at them.

The people who slept in the bridge tunnel were nothing more than a few types - penniless beggars, out-of-towners who came to work in the city and wanted to save some money on habitation, and gangsters.

Among them, there were two gangsters. They were dressed better than the others and had cellphones.

The two gangsters came up to Lilian and whistled at her, saying, "Hey girl, why are you alone here?"

Lilian clenched her fingers around the suitcase, lowered her head, and ignored them.

The two of them crouched down on either side of her, emitting a strong smell of smoke and the stench of sweat like they hadn't taken a shower for a long time. When they spoke, she could even smell their bad breath.

"We're not bad people. Let's just talk, baby."

"That's right. You're dressed nicely. Why do you come to live under this bridge like us?"

The two of them squeezed her in the middle, making Lilian feel short of breath. She quickly stood up to leave, but one gangster pulled her back.
