Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 444

Caroline's POV:

I woke up the next morning and asked Elena to go to the groundbreaking ceremony first to supervise things.

I put on makeup, looked at the dress, and remembered what had happened the previous day.

I patted myself in the back of my head, regretting impulsively mentioning that I would try and give Simon a chance.

It was pretty obvious that he took it seriously.

Just when I was wondering how to clear up the misunderstanding, my phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Simon. My heart was shaking, and it took me a few seconds to compose myself and answer it.

"Caroline, are you ready? I'm coming to pick you up, okay?" Simon's expectant voice came through the phone.

"Well..." Biting my lip, I suggested, "How about we meet at the venue?"

The thought of riding in the same car with him made me uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll see you later, then."

Simon's voice sounded muffled.

I heaved a sigh of relief after I hung up.

I then quickly got changed and drove to the groundbreaking ceremony.

But the moment I set out, I heard my phone ring again.

Looking at the unknown number, I frowned and put on my Bluetooth earphone before I answered it.

"Hello?"

A woman's mechanical voice came from the other end. "Caroline, I want to see you at the warehouse beside the toll road in half an hour."

Shocked, I said in a cold voice, "You have the wrong number."

Just when I was about to end the call, I heard some kids' voices, calling "Mommy" on the other end.

I could instantly recognize that it was the twins.

I slammed the breaks and tightened my grip on the steering wheel. "Who are you?"

"If you're late, then you will be facing serious consequences."

Saying that, the woman hung up.

Images of James' kidnapping from a few years ago flashed through my mind.

And I instantly felt a lump in my throat and suffocated.

I would never put my kids at risk again.

The moment I stepped on the gas, I called Alice.

However, she did not pick up.

Flustered, I called Charles, but his phone was off.

Time passed, and I could not dare to delay for even a moment.

Taking a deep breath, I sped up.

Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the location sent by the woman.

It was a very rusty-looking warehouse, and the moment I pushed open the door, I saw that it was almost pitch black inside with only a dim light from a lamp.

As soon as I entered, I felt someone tying up my hands from behind.

"Let go of me!" I screamed and struggled, but they pushed me to the floor ruthlessly.

Groaning in pain, I looked up and saw several burly-looking men in front of me.

"Wow! What a beauty! She's going to be worth it!" One of the men reached out and pinched my cheek, making me tremble.

Another man stepped forward and looked at me lewdly. "Don't talk nonsense. Let's just get it over with. Who is going first?"

"You go first," the first man suggested.

"Do you know who I am? Who hired you? And where are my kids?" I asked, pretending to be calm as I cautiously moved back.

"I don't care who you are. I am just going to fuck you, so everything else doesn't matter to me."

Saying that, the man began to tear off my clothes.
