My eyelids were heavy. I wanted to open them, but I could not. I could only hear voices from the side from time to time.
As my consciousness cleared, so did my hearing. My eyes also did not feel heavy as before.
"Wake up, wake up."
There were noises, and the moment I opened my eyes, a group of strange faces came into view.
I was instantly shocked. I stood up and shrank back, looking at them vigilantly.
This group of individuals looked simple and honest, but I knew that they would not be the same the moment they started with their threats.
Gulping, I watched them warily.
"This person Mrs. Worsht brought us this time is really nice. Look at how good-looking she is. Your family is coming into luck."
"Ain't that right? This girl is really beautiful. If your family doesn't want her, why don't you give her to our boy, Greg?"
"No way. I gave Mrs. Worsht a large sum of money to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law. Don't rob me."
It turned out that the woman in the van that they were talking about was Mrs. Worsht. Sedatives were probably added to the bottle she made me drink in the van. It made me dizzy before I eventually passed out.
Unexpectedly, we arrived directly at the destination while I was out cold.
I looked around at the earth-colored walls. I was lying on a small bed. I could see mountains outside the window. Which countryside village was this?
"What's your name? You'll be a bride of our old Yarl family from now on, do you know that?"
