“You don't remember me?” Danrique gazed at her. If she was really Cece, she should remember him. Seven years might have passed, but his face did not change much. Hence, she should be able to recognize him instantly.
She, on the other hand, had transformed from a fourteen-year-old teenager to a twenty-one-year-old woman. Her entire body had gone through major changes, which was why Danrique had a hard time determining if it was her.
“Of course,” Francesca blurted.
“You're the guy who was held hostage by me at a casino in Lightspring.”
“Look at me.” Danrique lifted her chin so she could look at his face. “Look carefully. Apart from that time at Casino Inferno, what else do you remember?”
Francesca’s heart skipped a beat. Did he already figure out who I am? If he knows I'm Francesco, will he think I was playing him?
“Do you remember anything?” When he noticed her gaze that was lost in thought, he thought she had remembered the incidents from seven years ago.
“I—” Francesca looked around in panic. Suddenly, she tiptoed and inched closer to him affectionately.
Seeing that, Danrique lowered his head, wanting to hear her clearly.
Panting slightly, Francesca's red lips moved, and she said softly into his ears, “I remember it now. I think we... We met before somewhere...”
As she spoke, her arms reached slowly for his neck.
“Yes. Seven years ago...” Just as Danrique was about to talk about the matters from seven years ago, Francesca suddenly removed the necklace and fled.
Danrique did not stop her. Instead, he just frowned while watching her in silence.
Alas, before she could run far, Francesca was stopped by a few bodyguards.
Seeing that, she quickly changed her direction and started running to her left. Yet, she was blocked by several bodyguards again.
Similarly, Sean and several bodyguards surrounded her on the right.
She was surrounded by Danrique's men.
There was really no way to escape.
Moreover, she could not summon the creatures to help her at that location.
