“Who are you guys?” Theresa looked at them in alarm. These people were clearly unkind and she was their target.
Seeing that they grabbed her without saying a word, they knew who she was, which was why they were being so straightforward.
The two men were looking at her and the driver was in the front, all of them ignored her completely.
Theresa began to shout wildly as she struggled, “Let me go!”
The driver seemed to think that she was being too noisy and he shouted at the two men, “Don’t let her scream!”
One of the men immediately covered her mouth and warned, “Behave well!”
Theresa’s brain went blank. Everything was terrifying. She just wanted to leave this scary place quickly, but whatever rational mind she had left told her that she could not escape from here.
All she could do was to calm down for a while and wait for the right opportunity to escape.
Theresa’s heart became even more flustered as the car drove further and further away from the city.
After about an hour, the car had completely driven out of the city and reached the coast of Repulse Bay.
However, in front of the two sturdy men, she had no chance of escaping.
There were a lot of fishing boats parked near the beach in front of a building that was under construction in front of the hill. After the car stopped, the two huge men rudely pulled Theresa out of the car. When she didn’t walk, they just held her by her arms and dragged her with them towards the boat.
Theresa was frightened and anxious, she yelled frantically, “Is anyone here? Help! Is anyone here? Help me… Help…”
*Smack*
One of the men holding her slapped her and warned her viciously, “If you dare to shout again, I will kill you!”
Theresa’s head was turned to one side with the force of the slap, her cheek felt hot and painful. The taste of blood slowly spread in her mouth as she tried to speak, “Do you guys want money? As long as you let me go, I am willing to give you all the money I have right now.”
Theresa had no relatives in this country, let alone enemies, she couldn’t think of anyone who would kidnap her.
The only thing she could think of was that these men kidnapped her for money.
However, the men did not move with the mention of money. They warned her fiercely, “You’d better behave well. Don’t shout and yell. We are all tough guys, if you try to move, we will skin you alive. So, it is best if you behave well!”
Theresa felt despair. All the blood in her body seemed to have frozen instantly. They weren’t doing this for money? Then for what?
Theresa’s face looked ashen. Her tongue felt stiff in her mouth as she stammered for a long time before finally asking, “Can you tell me why are you kidnapping me? Even if it is to kill me, don’t you think I should know the reason?”
One of the men lost his patience and grabbed her by her jaw, “You fucking don’t understand human words or what? Why did we kidnap you? You will know when you fucking get there. Now, stop giving me that fucking bullshit!”
Theresa didn’t dare to ask anymore. She couldn’t dare to let these people hurt her again. She wasn’t alone now. She didn’t care for herself, but she had to take care of the baby in her belly.
Soon, Theresa was taken by them to an old fishing boat. There were fishing nets on the wooden board with dead fish in it. She didn’t know how long had they been rotting there. She was thrown into the small cabin of the boat. Everything there was dirty and smelt strongly of rotting fish.
Theresa was already sensitive to odors and prone to vomiting violently. As the fishy smell reached her nostrils, the acid in her stomach churned. She retched…
“Ew”
She couldn’t stand anymore. She leaned on the small square window and threw up violently.
The two men looked at her disgustingly but otherwise ignored her. There was no other door in the cabin, just that small window through which she could extend out her head but couldn’t get out of it. Even if she got out, she would have fallen into the sea.
Theresa kept her head extended out of the window, breathing the fresh air outside.
With her physical weakness and mental pressure, she could hardly be cool-headed about all this and just felt dizzy.
