Chapter 556
Yup, that’s her. She’s just like the chick in the photo. Tie her up!*
“But I think she’s pretty hot; isn’t it a waste to just off her like that?”
“You and your dirty mind!”
“Haha, I’m just telling it like it is! Such a beautiful girl might even be a virgin. It would be such a waste to just kill her!”
“Don’t get any ideas; we’ve gotta do this job clean and quick. We have no time for your shenanigans!”
After a sack was thrown over Ellinor’s head, her hands were twisted behind her back by a dude with some serious muscle and tightly bound with sturdy
rope.
Facing this, she didn’t put up much of a fight, just calmly asked. “Hold up, are you sure you got the right person?”
The guy in charge answered her, “Aren’t you Ellinor? We’ve got the right person; we’re looking for you.”
Ellinor was confused, “Why are you after me?”
*Because you pissed somebody off and that someone doesn’t want to see you breathing anymore!”
“Who?”
“You don’t need to know who. Your fate is sealed anyway; knowing it won’t make any difference!”
Another henchman sounded a bit regretful, “Darling, don’t be scared. Because of your pretty face, I’ll make sure you get an easy death.”
With that, the muscular dude dragged her into a deserted alley, where there was a sound of something sharp being unsheathed.
With her hands bound and her vision obscured by the sack, Ellinor was at a clear disadvantage.
She understood these guys weren’t looking to kidnap her; they wanted her dead. They weren’t even giving her a chance to beg, so escaping seemed highly unlikely.
Was she really going to die today at the hands of these strangers?
Hell no!
She still had to find out the truth about her mom, plus she had a baby in her belly to protect.
As Ellinor was frantically thinking of a plan, she was interrupted by the screeching sound of brakes.
Then there were steady and swiftly approaching footsteps.
Their task was interrupted and the guy in charge was clearly pissed, “Who the hell are you? Better stay out of our business if you know what’s good for you!”
There was no reply, just the sound of footsteps growing closer and louder.
The next second, Ellinor heard the sounds of a fierce fight.
Unable to tell if the newcomer was a friend or foe, she took advantage of the chaos and moved to a corner, frantically rubbing the ropes against the wall, trying to free her hands and fight off the bad guys.
The footsteps gradually receded and her surroundings grew quiet. It seemed like one side had been chased off.
Not wanting to be controlled by whoever was left, Ellinor sped up her efforts to untie the ropes.
She felt a powerful presence approaching, but the ropes around her wrists didn’t break.
She was so anxious that she began to sweat.
The sack over her head was suddenly removed.
Luckily, the ropes also broke at that moment.
Without seeing who it was, Ellinor threw a punch
It was caught by a large hand, and a familiar, deep voice said, “Ms. Mendoza, that’s not a very friendly greeting.”
Ellinor regained her composure and saw that it was Theo standing in front of her.
Her heart, which had been racing, settled down instantly, like she’d taken a calming pill, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Blanchet, what are you doing here?”
