Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1154

Esther looked at the rough mountain roads and started remembering stories she had read in novels.

These stories were about a young woman who was taken away and forced to marry an older man in a remote mountain village. She had a child with him and then was locked in with the pigs. The sad story made Esther feel very scared.

She worried that the same thing might be happening to her.

The man chuckled when he noticed her shaking. "Don't worry, everything's going to be okay."

But his words only made Esther feel more anxious. She knew she was completely at their mercy.

She couldn't escape alone, so she hoped her friends, especially Pearl, would find her soon. She also really missed James at that moment.

She also regretted not staying close to Pearl. If Pearl had gone with her to the restroom, she might not have ended up in this situation.

The van kept going and finally entered a small, isolated village after driving for about five or six hours. It was dawn by then.

When they arrived, they took Esther into the village as the sun was coming up. Eventually, they stopped at a house.

The man picked Esther up with one arm, since her hands and feet were tied, and carried her into a room.

"Ah!"
