Five million was nothing to Leila. It was like blowing cash at karaoke on a Friday night. Her family’s safe was always stuffed with bills anyway. She grabbed a suitcase, counted out the money, and headed out.
Before she left, she wrapped herself up from head to toe, careful not to leave a single clue for anyone to recognize her. Then she hopped into her car and followed the location the thug had texted her. The further she drove, the more deserted it got, and a weird sense of unease crept over her.
But then she reminded herself. For something like this, it had to be somewhere out of the way. Where else could they pull this off? The thought of Lydia stuck with those guys, waiting to be humiliated, actually made Leila feel a little thrill. Lydia. You totally brought this on yourself. Leila was determined to make her pay for her arrogance.
As she got closer to the address, she realized she hadn’t seen a single person around. That made her even more nervous. She pulled out her phone and called the guy. “Where are you? I don’t see anyone.”
“Keep walking. There’s an old warehouse up ahead. We’re inside,” he answered.
“How much farther?” she asked, still uneasy.
“Not far, just follow the path for a hundred meters. You’ll see it. No one’s gonna find us out here.”
Leila nodded, even though he couldn’t see her. “Alright.”
She picked up the suitcase with five million and walked another hundred meters down the path. Sure enough, there was an abandoned warehouse just like he said. All the tension in her chest suddenly let go.
She was just about to go in when she heard a familiar voice from inside. “Oh, she’s awake? Hey guys, bring me my knife. I want to carve a little flower into that pretty face of hers!”
“You got it, boss!”
Hearing that, Leila’s heart sped up with excitement. She hurried forward and shoved the door open. “Let me do it!”
But the second she stepped inside, she froze.
There were over a dozen men in black scattered across the floor, some sitting, some lying down, all of them tied up tight, hands and feet bound.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
