Chapter 656 Time to Die
Robin nodded to the black–clad men, signaling them to remove Holmes‘ hood.
She was young–just 23.
As the cloth came off, she squinted against the bright lights, trying to open her eyes.
The light in the room was overwhelming. For a moment, she couldn’t see a thing.

lolmes‘ voice cracked as she yelled, “Who are you? Why are you doing this? I have no money! Please, don’t kill me!”
The room was still.
So still, it was suffocating.
It felt like an eternity before Holmes‘ vision cleared enough for her to focus on the man sitting across from her.
He was young, sharp–featured, with an unsettling calm in his eyes.
“Who are you?” she demanded. “Did you bring me here?”
Then, a thought hit her. “Wait… Have you seen my posts online? Do you know me? Or–maybe–do you like me?”
Robin didn’t reply. He was focused on the sleek phone in his hand, completely uninterested.
Holmes, feeling the weight of the silence, began scanning the room.
Where was she?
Her eyes fell on the coffee table in front of her.
She saw a cigarette holder with the words “Brookhaven Grand Hotel Presidential Suite, Special Use Only engraved on it.
The room around her was like something from a dream. The luxury was unlike anything she’d ever imagined.
Her heart skipped a beat as she turned her gaze back to Robin.
He had to be rich.
Maybe, if he was interested in her, it wouldn’t be so bad to stay for a few nights.
She could make a good deal, couldn’t she?
“Are you
Interested in me?” Holmes asked, her fingers pulling at her collar, adjusting it.
She was about to stand and move toward him when she caught herself.
A sharp, commanding voice shattered the silence.
“Kneell”

Holmes barely had time to react before one of the black–clad men kicked her legs out from under her, sending her crashing to the ground. “If you move again, we’ll kill you!”
The words were strange. They didn’t sound like anything she’d heard before. It was Draconian, maybe. Whatever it was, it filled her with terror.
Who were they?
Why had Robin taken her? What did he want?
Is this your thing?” Holmes stammered, her voice trembling. “You bring me here, but you want me to neel? What’s going on?”
Robin didn’t even look up from the phone in his hand.
The phone belonged to Annie.
It was full of messages from people at the film studio.
“You’re Holmes, right?” Robin’s voice was cold, his gaze chilling as he finally raised his eyes. “You’ve been active online for a long time, haven’t you?”
“You look young, but you’ve been an active troll for almost seven years. Lots of crimes under your belt, I presume?”
Holmes forced a laugh. “You’re funny. She let out a nervous giggle. “Yeah, I’ve been on the internet for a while. You know me?
“Guess you’ve been following me, huh?”
Holmes smirked. “You rich guys are all the same. Kidnap a girl if you like her? I thought I was getting robbed for a second.”
She leaned back, trying to play it cool. “If you like me, just text me. No need for all this drama.”
Robin arched his eyebrow and put the phone down. “Do you know Annie?”
Holmes froze. “What? Who’s Annie?”
Robin’s eyes narrowed. Tell the truth.” His expression was unreadable.
“I’m telling you. I don’t know-
The sting of the slap shocked her into silence. “Answer properly!” the assassin barked.
Holmes held her check, tears instantly filling her eyes. “What is this? I’m telling the truth!”
*If you
you don’t answer, we’ll kill you, the assassin growled, his voice cold as ice.
Robin glanced at her, his tone flat. “We didn’t bring you here to chat. We brought you here to kill you.”
Holmes couldn’t believe it. She let out a laugh, but it didn’t feel real. “You’re joking, right? This is a prank, isn’t it? Tell me it is. You’re scaring me.
The next slap hit her hard, almost knocking her off balance.

“Answer the question!” the assassin growled.

Holmes was losing it. “What do you want from me? I’m nobody! I don’t have money! If this is about sex fine, I won’t resist! But why do you keep hitting me?”
“I wouldn’t touch you,” Robin replied coldly.
“Answer me. Who told you to ruin Annie from Luminous Studio?”
Holmes‘ voice broke. “I don’t know anyone named Annie!”
The slap echoed through the room.
“Keep hitting her until she talks,” Robin ordered, his face impassive as he reclined on the couch.
The assassin kept striking her.
“I’ll talk! Please, just stop!” Holmes cried, her face bruised and swollen from the hits.
“What do you want to know? I have no idea who Annie is. I got a call six months ago. They told me to start a smear campaign against Annie Howell until her reputation is destroyed.”
“I did as I was told.”
Robin leaned forward, his eyes locked on hers. “Who was it? How did you know Annie was connected to someone named Robin?”
