Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 498

The attacker snatched the phone from her hand. Emilia used that moment to struggle fiercely, nearly breaking free.

But before she could run, he grabbed her by the waist again, hoisting her up and dragging her away.

"Mmph!"

Emilia fought desperately to make a sound, but with her mouth covered, only muffled noises escaped.

What could she do?

The panic and terror were nearly driving her mad.

She kicked and fought the whole way, but her attacker's grip never loosened.

The huge disparity in strength made it impossible for her to escape.

After a dizzying struggle, Emilia was forcefully thrown into a car.

"Drive."

A familiar voice sounded, and Emilia turned to see Tyler's face.

"Tyler!"

Her emotions exploded, and she raised her hand to strike him.

But he instantly pinned her down. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

"Let go of me!" Emilia snapped, glaring at him furiously.

But Tyler wouldn't release her. Instead, he pressed her down onto the back seat, immobilizing her.

"What the hell are you doing?" Emilia demanded, both furious and frantic. She tried to get up, but just as she lifted her body, he pushed her back down.

"Hel—"

Emilia tried to scream for help, but he covered her mouth before she could get the first word out.

The car had already started moving, heading to an unknown destination. Emilia stared at Tyler.

He looked completely disheveled.

His usually perfectly combed hair was a mess, sticking out in all directions. There were dark circles under his eyes, and stubble shadowed his jaw.

He looked like he hadn't slept in a long time.

His eyes were bloodshot, filled with an emotion she couldn't comprehend, one that he seemed to be suppressing, ready to erupt at any moment.

This version of Tyler frightened her.

What was he planning to do?

Had he lost his mind?

She couldn't rely entirely on the driver and the preschool. Even if they came looking, she still needed to buy time and figure out how to save herself.

But what could she do?

The tie around her wrists was painfully tight.

Tyler's hand was still clamped over her mouth.

His breath was close.

Something was wrong with him.

What had happened?

Whatever it was, when they got out of the elevator, she had to find someone nearby and ask for help.

She also had to find an opportunity in Tyler's strange behavior.

She worked through all this in a matter of seconds.

Ding!

With a soft chime from the elevator, Emilia opened her eyes again as the doors slowly slid open.

And then, Emilia knew exactly where she was.
