Zoey was priceless to Ferris. If they had her as leverage, they could have demanded millions of dollars, and he would have paid it without blinking.
I tried to raise my voice, hoping to talk them out of this. "You two..."
"Where am I? Who are you? What did you do to me? Let me go!" Another voice shrieked before I could finish my sentence.
The voice was a familiar, clear tone. Even though she was shouting demands, the uncontrollable tremor in her words gave away her sheer terror.
I jerked my head toward the sound in absolute disbelief. Squinting into the darkness, I saw Zoey lying on the ground, her wrists bound tight behind her back just like mine.
They hadn't just kidnapped me?
So which one of us were they referring to as Ferris's wife?
Me, or her?
And the woman that psycho wanted to assault... was it me, or Zoey?
Zoey wasn't particularly brave. Thrown into a kidnapping, her facade of calm lasted mere seconds. When she spoke again, her voice broke into a full-blown sob, shaking violently. "Please don't hurt me! I have nothing to do with Ferris! Let me go! The woman over there... she's the one involved with him! Not me!"
My already erratic heartbeat plummeted, an icy chill washing through my veins. I forced my head up to look at Zoey. In the dim light, her eyes glinted, though I couldn't tell if it was from unshed tears.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride
Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
