Chapter 34 I Won’t Leave You

The head of the gang glared at the three men and said slowly, “Miss Fleming said that we could dowhatever we want with her as long as we don’t kill her. Well, we have to have some fun with such agorgeous woman…”

The men began to laugh lecherously.

Elspeth didn’t expect that Ophelia would order the men to sexually abuse her in order to torment her.She glared at the men coldly and smiled lightly. “Do you know who I am?”

“Of course!” One of the men grinned lewdly. “You’re our little darling. Don’t worry. I’ll be gentle…”

Another man was quite insightful. “You are Callum’s fiancée and a singer… Wow, I wonder if yourmoaning will be pleasing to the ear later…”

“Since you know that I’m Callum’s fiancée,” Elspeth hissed and glared viciously at them. “Aren’t youworried that he will come after you?!”

The men shook their heads and snorted, “To them, you’re nothing but an outsider. He will most likelybreak off the engagement if your reputation is ruined. Come on, let’s have some fun together. Throw allthose nonsense out the win—”

Elspeth interrupted before the man could finish his words, “Do you know why I haven’t married Callumafter so long?” She raised her eyebrows and curled her lips into an ambiguous smile.

The men were intrigued. They knew that she would not be able to escape, so they urged, “Tell us.”

She sighed regretfully. “Because I’m a loose woman living a promiscuous life, although I look docileand reserved and have AIDS. My pre-wedding health screening failed, and I won’t be alive for long, so

of course, the Winthrops will not let their precious son marry me.”

She hung her head low and looked sad as if she really had AIDS and her life had come to an end.

The men had not heard of such news, so they were rightfully skeptical about it. “Are you sure you haveAIDS?” It was very frustrating to know that they couldn’t have sex with her now.

“If you don’t mind, I’m okay with it. After all… It’s nice to have someone with me in hell.” Elspeth smiledmaliciously, and her smile made these lewd men suddenly lose any interest in her. They even began tosecond-guess their decision.

“Boss, if she… Just forget it.”

Alas, the head of the gang clearly had some brains. So, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Elspeth.“Alright, we’ll wait and see. We have all the time in the world anyway.”

They had to report their outcome to their employer, so they must complete the mission. The powerbehind the Fleming Family was so influential that they were no match to them, but Elspeth was just anobody regardless of her various identities. Hence, it was easier to take control of her.

So, she was locked in the dilapidated house, and the men took turns guarding the place. No one daredto untie her without the boss’ permission.

She didn’t bother making a fuss as she preserved her strength, trying to think of an escape plancarefully.

She couldn’t use her phone as it was confiscated. Her hands were tied behind her back, and she hadalready pressed on the ring equipped with a GPS signal. Once she pressed it, Harper wouldimmediately receive the message about her current location. If Harper found that she was in a remotelocation, he would undoubtedly be aware that she was in danger and save her.

Time passed, and Elspeth patiently waited.

In the evening, the man guarding the door handed her a loaf of bread.

She asked with a tight frown, “Can you please untie me? I need to go to the toilet.” She did lookmiserable, as if she had been holding back for a long time.

The man hesitated. “No. What if you run away?”

“What?” She widened her eyes. “I’m just a weak woman, and you’re a strong man. Do you think I canrun away from you?”

Once she saw his hesitation, she added, “I can’t hold back anymore. What if I pee in here? It will be sosmelly. Am I right, handsome?”

The man looked rather simpleminded, and he fit the bill too. So, when she called him handsome, hegrinned bashfully. “Alright, I’ll untie you, but come back quickly and don’t sneak away, or you’ll bepunished severely!”

Elspeth smiled at him, and her smile melted his heart instantly. He went to the door to check thesurroundings, but as soon as she stepped out, a man blocked her way.

He was the leader of the group. When he saw Elspeth being untied, he bellowed angrily, “Who the f*ckuntied her?!”

“M-Me…” The man sheepishly stepped forward.

The boss whacked him brutally. “Moron! How can you believe anything she says?! What if she runsaway?” Then, they tied her up again.

This time, they tightened the knot and even changed the guards around the house.

As she observed the situation, the helpless Elspeth knew that she could not escape. Therefore, shehad no choice but to wait for someone to rescue her.

On the other hand, Callum became agitated as she did not return home after work, and he couldn’tcontact her. He searched around in vain and finally called Harper.

“It’s very late now, but Elspeth hasn’t gone home. Is she with you?” Callum demanded in a cold voice.

Harper sounded a little anxious on the other end of the line. “She sent me her current location. It’s anabandoned hut in Southdale. I think she is kidnapped.”

Callum’s gaze turned frigid when he heard the word ‘kidnap’. “I’ll head over there right now. Call thepolice, and we’ll meet in Southdale.”

“Okay. I’ll send you the exact location right now.”

They went on with their respective missions. Harper called the police while Callum drove towardSouthdale.

When he arrived at the abandoned hut, he found that the place was brightly lit, and two men wereguarding the door, but he couldn’t see the condition inside the house.

He went around to the back and peeked in through the window. He saw that Elspeth was tied to thebed, and no one was around, so he quickly devised a plan. Due to the destitute condition of the hut, hecould pry open the window easily. Thus, he successfully sneaked in and tiptoed to Elspeth.

“Callum?” she whispered in shock. How did he know I was here? And… why is he saving me?

Callum did not have the time to explain. The rope was too tight, so he quickly grabbed a sharp rockfrom the floor and tried to cut the cord off.

A few minutes later, the rope broke. They quickly rushed to the window and jumped out of it when thedoor was suddenly pushed open with a creak.

“She’s getting away! Get her!” The men chased after them. Unfortunately, Elspeth sprained her ankle.She broke out in cold sweat due to the pain and frowned. “Callum, go, or they’ll catch up soon.”

Callum ignored her and carried her. “Don’t talk if it hurts.”

The exclamations behind them became louder. Finally, the anxious Elspeth urged, “Leave! I’ll only slowyou down!”

He lowered his head and looked at her seriously with a touch of tenderness in his eyes. “No, Elspeth. Iwon’t leave you behind.”
