When Love Comes Late
Chapter 551

She needed to escape desperately.

Stella glanced around; there had to be something she could use to cut the ropes.

She spotted something shiny under the table.

A blade!

A glint of hope flashed through her eyes as she tried her best to move closer to the table.

Stella finally shifted to the side of the blade, which seemed to be a remnant of the previously disassembled machine.

Grasping the blade cautiously, Stella looked to the door.

After ensuring that the group had not returned, she felt a momentary sense of relief.

Without delay, Stella used the blade to saw at the rope binding her hands.

Her body was shaking uncontrollably.

The rope was both thick and securely fastened, making it challenging to free her hands.

Despite her utmost effort, progress was painfully slow.

The rope appeared unscathed.

Anxiety swelled within Stella, causing tears to fill her eyes.

She was desperate to avoid a grim fate at the hands of these men, yet she couldn’t even manage to untie the rope.

Stella’s palms were sweating.

Gritting her teeth, she redoubled her efforts to sever the rope.

Suddenly, the door swung open with a loud creak, causing Stella to freeze.

Her eyes shot up, and she saw the men who had just left now returning.

Filled with dread and fear, Stella involuntarily retreated, stammering, “You… don’t come any closer.

”

Her voice was raspy.

The blond man advanced towards her, step by step.

“Awake already?”

He licked his lips and wiped them with his thumb, flashing a malevolent grin.

“Still thinking of running away? Do you really think you can?”

His laughter was manic.

Stella felt as if she had plunged into a bottomless abyss of despair.

She concealed the blade in her hand, ready to resist him the moment he made his next move.
