The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 603

Sierra.

"It's her." Even though the girl had dyed her hair, gotten a lip ring, and was wearing heavy makeup, I recognized her face instantly.

That was the face that had tricked me, plunging me into a nightmare that lasted over a dozen hours. I had drowned in pure terror for so long that her features were permanently branded into my brain. There was no way I could ever forget.

"Good. What about the one in here?" Officer West nodded and led me to the adjacent interrogation room.

When I saw the person inside, my brows knit together in pure shock. "Why... why is she here?"

The person sitting in the second room wasn't Zelda, as I had expected. It was...

"Sierra confessed that she held a deep grudge against Ferris over her father's death. She believed a surgical error on his part caused it. A week before the incident, someone reached out, offered her a way to get revenge, and fed her your location," Officer West explained, her tone strictly professional. "We immediately traced the contact info she provided, and the private messaging handle was registered under Zoey Zeller's name."

Sure enough, the person sitting in the interrogation room was Zoey.

I had assumed she was brought to the precinct for questioning as a victim. I never imagined she'd be the one sitting in the hot seat, let alone that she was the absolute mastermind behind the entire kidnapping. This was a twist I never saw coming.

"So, Zoey is the one who manipulated Sierra into kidnapping me?" I asked, turning back to Officer West in disbelief.
