A Touch of Sweetness -
Chapter 333
Never Late, Never Away Chapter 333
Vivian looked away when her cab came and decided not to think of it any further.
The next day, she woke up to Finnick putting on his tie in front of the mirror, already awake andfreshened up.
“You're up early today,” she said with a hint of bewilderment. Usually, Finnick would wake up at thesame time as her and take her to work in his car.
He walked over to the bedside and sat down. “I need to go to the office early today for some urgentmatters. Can you go to work by yourself?”
“Sure. Go ahead,” she said.
Finnick smiled and planted a light kiss on her forehead. “Sweet dreams,” he said before walking outof the door.
Vivian managed to get another hour of shut-eye before she got up to go to work.
Much to her surprise, a cab was already waiting for her outside the gates when she exited theneighborhood.
Cabs were a rare sight in the high-end neighborhood, and she could not help but smile at howlucky she was.
She raised an arm to signal to the driver that she wanted to get on. “Subway station, please.”
After a while of cruising along the road, Vivian began to notice that something was wrong.
“Sir, this isn’t the way to the subway station...” she said, only to receive no reply from the driver.She gasped. I'm in danger!
"Sir! Let me out! Stop the car!” she screamed, but the driver ignored her completely.
She tried to pry open the door, but the driver had locked it before they even set off.
"Hey! Let me out!” she screamed, reaching forward and grabbing the steering wheel in a desperateattempt to escape.
However, the driver simply sighed in exasperation and whacked her head with a stick. A white-hotstreak of pain coursed through her veins just before she passed out.
Vivian woke up after what seemed like ages to her muscles screaming in pain. The wound on herhead seemed to have scabbed over, but it was still immensely painful whenever she moved. Notonly that, her hands and feet were bound tightly, making it impossible for her to stand up.
She looked around frantically, trying to make sense of her situation. The place she was in seemedlike an abandoned building's rooftop, which confused her.
Vivian tried to break of her restraints. I need to escape... something bad might happen to me here ifI don't!
Suddenly, the door to the rooftop opened, and she froze the moment she caught sight of theperson who walked in.
"You again? What do you want?” she snapped at the person.
"What do I want? What do you think I want after you ruined my life? I just want revenge! I want youto suffer, my dear sister!”
The person who came in was none other than Ashley, and she was the one who sent the cab tobring Vivian here.
Ashley had turned into a disheveled mess since their last meeting, and Vivian wondered if she hadeven bothered to shower over the past few days. Her face was a ghastly white, and she had sincelost the elegance she used to have.
Vivian blinked to stay calm as she stared into Ashley's dim eyes. “Let me go. You'll never hear theend of this from Finnick if you don't.”
However, Ashley simply threw her head back and burst into laughter the moment she heard herwords.
After a while, her laughter died down, and she lowered her head to glare at Vivian. “Tell him to comeat me, Vivian! I'm not scared of him! You're the one who ruined my life and took everything awayfrom me! If not for you, Mom would still be safe at home, Dad's company wouldn't have gonebankrupt, and I would still be the renowned young mistress of the Miller family! Fabian would stilllove me!”
“That's irrelevant. I've already broken up with Fabian,” Vivian blurted instinctively.
