The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 474

She watched helplessly as Adrian disappeared into the crumbling structure.

Risking his life, completely alone, for that woman.

Was this really the Adrian she knew?

The man who used to cower in fear at a single stern word from Grandma Lowell.

Now, he was playing the fearless hero.

Hah.

Audrey let out a cold, bitter scoff.

*Jocelyn!*

*I hope you rot.*

In a damp, chilling corner of the concrete floor.

Jocelyn was curled up into a tight ball.

It was the only way she could keep her body from freezing.

Her hands were bound tightly behind her back. She wanted to struggle, but she didn't dare exert too much force, terrified of harming the baby.

Eventually, she stopped fighting the ropes.

After leaving Sarah's apartment, she had been walking to her car.

A man had pressed a blade against her waist, his voice vicious as he warned her.

"Don't move, or I'll kill both mother and child."

He knew she was pregnant.

That meant this was an inside job.

How else could a random stranger know about the baby?

Could it really be Caleb Preston again?

Trying to drag someone down to hell with him on his way out?

Jocelyn felt a surge of deep regret.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have been so stubborn and dismissed Kyle.

Julian had told her it was 'just in case.'

She had failed to guard against that very 'case.'

If Kyle had been there, she never would have been dragged into this nightmare.

The kidnapper suddenly walked in.

Jocelyn braced herself, maintaining her composure.

The man was wearing a surgical mask, hiding most of his features. The only identifying traits were his gender and a jagged scar near his right eye.

She stared at him intently, burning his image into her memory.

If he killed her, she would haunt this bastard for the rest of eternity!

Seeing her unflinching stare, the kidnapper grew uneasy.

"You're not scared at all?"
