Luke's tension was understandable. The woman sitting on the bed, her back to us, bore a striking resemblance to me in both figure and complexion.

He couldn't accept the mere thought of his wife being treated so cruelly by another man.

The woman on the bed didn't move or respond.

Instead, Quinlan lit a cigarette nonchalantly and asked, Are you here to redeem this woman?"

Bang!

No one expected it. Luke, who was usually composed, exploded in fury. Without warning, he kicked Quinlan viciously, slamming him into the wall.

Before Quinlan could react, Luke grabbed him by the collar of his floral shirt and punched him in the face.

His eyes were bloodshot, his expression like that of a demon dragged straight from hell.

Who gave you the right to touch her? How dare you lay a finger on her?"

Suddenly, a gunshot echoed in the room, startling everyone.

"Ahh" The woman on the bed screamed in terror.

squarely

My dad rushed in with his men, and that was when they realized the woman, though similar to me, wasn't me at all.

Ignoring the fact that she was still undressed, Luke grabbed her chin and studied her features intently.

Finally, he exhaled in relief. Thank God it's not her."

Quinlan spat out a mouthful of blood and, despite his anger, was calmed by the intermediary my dad had brought along. "What the hell? She's not even your wife Why are you hitting me?" Luke was growing desperate. "Where are the other women?"

"They re all here! There's no one else," Quinlan replied.

Frustrated, Luke pulled out his phone, revealing a photo of me. "Look! Have you seen this woman?"

Quinlan squinted at the picture. "Nope."

My dad handed him a cigarette, speaking calmly. "Please, do us a favor. She's a relative of ours. If you can help us replace her, we'll make it worth your while."

Quinlan's eyes flicked to my dad's Rolex Submariner. My dad understood the gesture and removed the watch immediately.

"Help us out."

Despite the earlier altercation. Quinlan grinned as he pocketed the watch: "Well, you know the rules. Wait here. Just because she's not in this Scam Center doesn't mean she isn't in another one. Send me her picture. Luke had avoided sharing my photo earlier to preveruny leaks and it had led to such a big misunderstanding

But now, he had to give in since there were no leads about my whereabouts.

Quinlan glanced at the picture and chuckled. I get it now. No wonder you hit me-this woman's a real beauty. She's easy to spot. But, well

His tone carried a hidden meaning, though he left the rest unsaid. "We have several Scam Centers here. With your resources and connections, why didn't you act sooner? Any woman who falls into our hands. well Luke's fists clenched tightly. Perhaps he regretted it too

I had gone missing long ago, and none of them cared at the time. Only now did they think to search for me when it was far too late?

Forget about the Scam Center-by now, they might not even replace my body.

"Fine. I'll let the fact you hit me slide since you gave me this watch. Just wait. You'll hear something soon." The place had its network of contacts-a system that extended far beyond a single Scam Center. Multiple centers were interconnected, and even the locals outside were part of this sprawling web.

Finding someone elsewhere might be difficult, but here, it could happen quickly.

Luke paced back and forth restlessly. Every so often, faint screams echoed from somewhere nearby, piercing the tense silence like daggers.

Through the window, I could see the sky beginning to lighten. Someone was dragging a person away, leaving behind a trail of blood on the ground.

At the same time, new victims were being deceived or forcibly brought in

It was like the perpetual cycle of day and night. Life and death played out here every single day.

As sunlight streamed in, I noticed something unsettling. My body was becoming translucent. Was I fading?

Was this a sign that I might finally leave this state?

Part of me felt joy at the possibility, but my heart remained heavy with worry for my family

Anna's hatred wasn't just for me. After what she did to Grandma, I was certain her plans extended to the Sanders

She had worked to drive a wedge between me and my loved ones, orchestrated my death, and harmed Grandma.

I had let go of my lingering feelings for Luke My concern now was solely for my family's safety.

As we each wrestled with our thoughts, Quinlan returned with a faint sheen of sweat on his forehead. "Any news?" Luke asked.

He stomped out his cigarette and said, "I checked. She's not in any Scam Center

"No way!" Luke exclaimed in disbelief. "Did you look carefully? Could you have missed something?"

Quinlan snorted. You underestimate us. Nothing escapes our network. We'd know if such a beauty were here-even if she'were dead."

she'were

Taking a sip of water, he added, "If not for that Rolex, I wouldn't have bothered to dig this deep for you." Luke staggered back. He had prepared himself to replace me here-even if the worst had already happened. But now, not only was I not here, my whereabouts were still a complete mystery.

The thought that I might be dead made Luke's expression darken further.

My dad, though shaken, managed to stay composed.

He licked his dry lips and said, "Hey, I'll be honest with you. She's my daughter. She's been missing for over 20 days now. I know you have your ways. If you can help us replace her, I'll make it worth your while."

Quinlan frowned. "Your daughter? And you're only looking for her now? Let me be frank. It's over when a girl this beautiful has fallen into the wrong hands/There are Scam Centers in a lot of countries-hell, those foreigners are even crueler than us."

His blunt words were like a hammer blow to Luke and my dad. Had they acted sooner, maybe I wouldn't have been reduced to nothing but a memory.

"Well, I'll help you dig deeper, Quinlan said finally. "But here's the deal. Even if you didn't replace your girl, you've got to take someone with you and pay the ransom. Can't have my men working for free, right?"

"Understood. My dad agreed and he remembered something.

"I know who to bring with us."

He returned to the room where the captive women were kept, pointing to a girl in the corner. "I know her. That's Esmee She used to be close to Chloe. She might know where my daughter is."
