But soon, the bodyguard who got off the car first blocked my way and restrained me.

At that moment, my heart sank completely.

Winston got out of the car and walked slowly towards me, with a smile in his eyes, but no longer the gentle and considerate person I used to know. But it was full of malice and disdain.

My heart tightened fiercely.

I stared at him tensely and asked, “Winston, what are you going to do? Where are we?”

From the moment he got on the car, I had a vague feeling that something was off about this man. It was already too late at that time, so I comforted myself by deceiving myself that I had just been thinking too much.

Winston and I had no hatred between us; he would never harm me. Perhaps I was naive, underestimated human nature, and overestimated the affection I had with him in the past.

Actually, thinking about it now, if he wanted to retaliate against Reynaldo, he would indeed come after me. Although everyone knew that Reynaldo didn’t like me, everyone also knew that I was Reynaldo’s woman.

He couldn’t get close to Kimberly, so he had to redirect his attention towards me. After thinking through everything, I looked back at the man in front of me and felt that human hearts are truly unpredictable.

I told him, “You caught me, but you can’t do anything to Reynaldo.”

“That’s not necessarily the case.” He smiled confidently at me. “Ralda, shall we make a bet?”

His tone was still as gentle as before, but the disdain and fierceness in his eyes and eyebrows were no longer the same Winston as before.

I said, “What are we betting on?”

“I bet he… will come alone to save you.”

Winston played with the lighter in his hand, lit a cigarette the next second, took a puff, blew smoke rings, and said to me, “I bet… he will definitely come, what do you think?”

“You might be about to lose the bet.” I said calmly, “Not to mention that he is now sticking to Kimberly’s side, even without Kimberly, he wouldn’t come to rescue me; he hates me.”

“Hate you?” Winston smirked at me meaningfully. He blew smoke rings and sarcastically laughed, “Actually, I think he’s quite pitiful. Even though he’s been very successful in his career, in terms of relationships, well, he’s also ended up in a complete mess.”

I frowned at him and asked, “What do you mean?”

“What does it mean?” He sneered and had the bodyguard escort me into the abandoned warehouse.

He followed behind me, smiling faintly, and said, “If you are so eager to know, then I will tell you in detail.”

The power went out in the warehouse, and in the light of their flashlights, there was dust everywhere, along with spider webs. The cold wind blew in through the large and small holes, making a whistling sound, and it was very cold.

The bodyguard tied me to a chair, and I struggled desperately, ignoring the dust and the rats scurrying around. But it was of no use.

Winston walked up to me, pulled over a worn-out wooden crate, and sat on top of it. And the two bodyguards were standing guard outside the door.

I pulled at my bound hands again and said to him, “You release me first; I won’t run.”

Winston chuckled lightly, “That won’t do. Who can guarantee that you won’t run away while everyone is asleep? If you run away, this game won’t be fun anymore.”
