Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2119

“There’s no way she can prove her identity. And Ivana sounds like a Russian name,” the woman reminded the man.

Luca shot a glance at the man and turned to look at the woman, then she said, “You have the face of someone from A City too. Could it be that you’re using a name from A City too?”

“How could that be? We all use titles.” The woman thought Luca was suspicious. Although she got the name correct, there were a few questionable points that aroused her suspicion.

The main problem was that Luca did not have the tattoo of the Island of Despair on her.

"Fine. I shall leave since no one believes in me," said Luca.

There was no way Luca could prove her identity other than showing the message on her phone. She did not even bring the weapon she got from the Island of Despair along with her as she had gone to work earlier.

A knife was held to Luca’s neck in a blink of an eye. “You can’t leave.”

Luca slightly cast her eyes down and saw the blade that was against her neck. Her skin would cut open and her flesh would tear if she took a step forward. Then, her veins would burst.

“What do you want?” Luca remained calm even though someone was holding a knife to her neck.

Luca was good at fighting, but she did not intend to start a fight.

“It’d be great if you’re one of the members of the Island of Despair. Everyone can take it as a misunderstanding. If you’re not, then we’ll be exposed. That’s why you can’t leave,” the man explained as he pulled Luca into the building and locked the door behind her.

“She’s certainly not one of us. Perhaps she has already killed that person. Then, she came here on behalf of her. Her purpose is to go against us,” the woman said with confidence.

“Believe it or not, I’m the only member of the Island of Despair without a tattoo.” Luca glanced sideways to look at that woman.

"How's that possible? The tattoo is our mark, and everyone has it on their body. You’ll have the tattoo if you're someone from the Island of Despair," said the woman resolutely. Then, she said to the man, "This woman isn't as simple as she looks. We can't let her go now. Otherwise, we should…"

The woman made a throat-slitting gesture and said, “Kill her.”

“Why did you ask me to come here?” Luca was not the least bit frightened when she heard that the woman was planning to kill her.

“How can I tell you? You probably have a listening device on you.” The woman scowled. The man who was holding a knife to Luca’s throat never once moved it.

“Then you should be able to tell me who assigned the mission to you, right?” Luca asked.

“I can’t tell you that either.” The woman knew how to keep a secret well.

Luca looked at her helplessly. “Was it Abel or Shanks?”

The woman’s expression changed once Luca mentioned the two names.

No outsiders would know the names of the pivotal figures of the Island of Despair. Luca actually knew them, and she made no secret of the fact that she knew them by calling out their names…

The knife held at Luca’s throat slightly loosened once the man heard what Luca said.

Luca looked around her and saw something like a sack at one of the corners. Then, Luca recalled what Shanks had told her before.

“It’s probably Shanks, right? He’s the one who instructed me to check the herbs, huh?”

The woman snarled at Luca while listening to her. “How much did that betrayer tell you about us?”

“Tsk. Hand me your phone. Let me give Dr. Shanks a call, then you’ll know how much I know about the Island of Despair,” said Luca.

The woman was dubious about the idea. She gave the man a look when she handed her phone to Luca.

If this woman dared to call for help, he would be able to kill her immediately.

Luca entered a string of numbers on the phone in front of them.

The expressions of the man and woman changed at the same time.

The call was answered after Luca tapped on the call icon. "Who is this?"
