He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 6

Lorelei looked at Damian in disbelief, wondering if she had heard him right.

“What did you say?”

Damian avoided her gaze, repeating hastily.

‘Put on Sabine’s clothes, drive out the back gate, and lead them away.”

A chill shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Lorelei felt her entire body go cold.

He knew exactly what would happen if those men caught her, yet he didn’t hesitate to push her out there.

I’ll die…” Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

If I go out like this, I’ll die…”

Jamian’s eyes darted away, his tone holding a reassurance that even he didn’t seem to believe.

No, you won’t. You’re not Sabine. When they realize they have the wrong person, they’ll demand a ransom at most. They won’t kill you.”

But…”

It hurts, Damian, it hurts so much…”

abine’s timely moan cut off her unspoken words.

utside, the thugs‘ shouts grew closer, and someone started ramming the main gate.

amian hesitated no longer. He quickly took off Sabine’s blood–stained suit jacket and roughly forced it onto Lorelei.

hen, ignoring her struggles, he pushed her directly towards the back door leading to the garage.

Go, now!”

orelei stumbled a few steps from the push. She looked back and met Damian’s resolute gaze, and her heart sank completely.

he gritted her teeth, jumped into the car, started the engine, and slammed her foot on the gas, peeling out.

he headlights cut through the night and, just as planned, immediately drew the attention of all the thugs.

Hey! That car! Sabine is getting away!”

After her! Don’t let her escape!”

mix of chaotic footsteps and roaring engines filled the air.

hrough her rearview mirror, Lorelei saw the horde of menacing men jumping into their cars to give chase, and her heart nearly pounded out of her chest

aintly, she could hear the men, their voices tinged with a Miami Spanish accent, sneering.

Man! They say the Blackwood heir is so devoted to Ms. Montoya, but he’s all talk!”

When push comes to shove, he just throws a woman out to take the heat?”

Devoted? What a joke!”

Chapter 6

The taunts were like daggers, slicing away at Lorelei’s already shattered heart.

Of course he was devoted to Sabine.

The one pushed out to be sacrificed without a second thought had always been her, the old news.

oon, her car was boxed in from the front and back, forced to a stop on a deserted roadside.

Get out of the car, you bitch!”

he men pounded on the car windows, their curses unending.

rembling, Lorelei kept her head down. The moment she opened the car door, she was yanked out by a brute force.

loud slap cracked across her face, making her ears ring and her vision go dark.

Shit! This ain’t Sabine!”

Are you fucking kidding me?”

nother man grabbed her by the hair, forcing her face up.

fter a closer look, he yelled, “It’s Damian’s wife!”

Nrong one! Dammit!”

he leader, a man with a scar on his face, pulled out a gun and pressed it to Lorelei’s temple.

ist as he was about to pull the trigger, someone suggested.

Boss, since we’ve already got her, being Mrs. Blackwood has to be worth a decent ransom, right?”

he scar–faced man sized her up, then spat. “Fine. Make the call!”
