Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Why Did You Kidnap Me

The sudden splash of icy water shattered the silence, jolting Linsey awake with its chilling shock.

Disoriented, she couldn’t tell how much time had slipped away, but the sharp sting of cold dragged her from the depths of

unconsciousness.

As she shook her head to dispel the grogginess, her blurry vision slowly began to focus.

Only then did she realize the harsh reality of her situation: she was bound to a rickety wooden chair, coarse ropes biting into her skin. The room was dimly lit, the walls decaying and the air heavy with the musty scent of damp rot, making each breath a struggle.

Panic started to claw at her chest, tightening with every shallow breath, but before it could fully take hold, a voice cut through the eerie silence.

“Linsey, you’re finally awake.”

Her heart skipped a beat as she turned her head around, her expression a mix of disbelief and fear. Felix stood there, walking toward her with a devilish smirk. His eyes roamed over her drenched figure with an unsettling intensity, sending shivers down her spine.

“Felix! It’s you!”

Linsey’s voice cracked, her mind racing with confusion and betrayal. How could Felix, of all people, be her kidnapper? Did he not understand the gravity of his actions?

As her bound hands clenched into tight fists behind her, she glared at him, anger searing through her confusion. “Felix, have you lost your mind? Why did you kidnap me?”

Even as she faced him down, Linsey covertly worked the ropes against the chair’s jagged edge, her fingers nimble in their silent quest for freedom.

Earlier that day, before stepping out of the office, she had assured Collin she would be heading straight home. By now, he would surely sense that something was amiss.

Time was of the essence, and her mind raced to devise an escape.

Meanwhile, Felix remained eerily composed. A smug grin spread across his face as he approached, his presence looming. He reached out, his fingers clamping coldly around Linsey’s chin, forcing her gaze to meet his. His touch was harsh, his eyes burning with a perverse delight.

“Why else would I resort to this, Linsey?” His voice was a low growl, dripping with betrayal. “You married Collin Riley. After five years, you just walked away from me. How could you expect me to just stand by and watch the woman I love choose someone else?”

Regaining a sliver of composure, she sighed deeply, her voice steady but laced with urgency. “Felix, you have to let me go! Do you grasp the gravity of what you’re doing? Kidnapping is no trivial offense. If you don’t stop now, there’s no turning back. Do you truly want to throw your life away behind bars?”

Her words seemed to glide off Felix like water off a duck’s back. His chuckle was laced with unwavering confidence as he leaned in, his eyes locking with hers. “Once we have sex, Linsey, you’ll see things my way. You won’t even think about leaving me again.”

His gaze darkened, the corners of his mouth turning up in a sly, unsettling smile. “Feeling a little… warmer now?”
