The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 477

The flight from Cabinda touched down without a hitch. Jesse slid on his sunglasses and rolled his suitcase behind him, but the moment he stepped out of the airport, his vision went blurry and his legs felt like jelly.

He figured it was just the exhaustion from flying for over ten hours, so he shrugged it off and pulled out his phone to check in with Elizabeth.

“Yeah, things are fine here,” he said, keeping his voice low. “Don’t worry, Elizabeth. Actually, you shouldn’t try to contact me for the next few days. If Charlotte finds out, it’ll just make things messier.”

Charlotte had changed after coming back from the countryside. She was a whole different person now, and not someone you wanted to cross.

“Okay,” Elizabeth replied quietly. Jesse ended the call, ready to order a ride to his hotel. Just then, a pair of shiny black dress shoes stopped in front of him. He looked up slowly and met the cold, unfamiliar gaze of a stranger.

“Are you the one here to pick me up?” Jesse asked, his confusion obvious.

“Jesse?” The man’s voice was flat and emotionless. Adonis.

“Yeah, you’re with—”

“Take him.”

Without any warning, Adonis gave the order. The men behind him moved fast, yanking a rough sack over Jesse’s head and tossing him into a van.

“Who are you people? What do you want from me?” Jesse struggled and shouted, panic rising in his chest. “If it’s money, I’ve got plenty. I’ll give you whatever you want!”

No one responded. The van sped through traffic, weaving expertly on its way to a private dock.

“Adonis, the helicopter’s ready,” someone in the front passenger seat announced. “The plane to Cabinda is prepped too.”

Cabinda? That’s when it finally hit Jesse just how bad this was. Charlotte’s cold, ruthless face flashed through his mind, and a chill shot up his spine. Sweat broke out across his back.

“Let me go! Do you even know who I am?” Jesse twisted and fought to break free. “My brother-in-law is the CEO of The Main Group, and my sister—”

Before he could finish, a hard kick landed on his head. Everything went black.
