Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Valeria's mind was in disarray as she slowly recollected the events before her coma.

She remembered Kaden asking

o take the elevator on the left, then turning back halfway to retrieve something.

However, she could

find her way back to the banquet hall, and suddenly, everything went pitch black. The next thing she knew, she was lying on a bed, overhearing the sleazy conversation of two men. Valeria sorted through her thought

and came to a conclusion. Was this Kaden's doing?

Did Kaden have the audacity for this? Perhaps it was orchestrated by Elsie? After all, Kaden professed an undying love for Elsie and was willing to do anything for her.

She couldn't tell how much time had passed when the tape over her mouth was suddenly ripped off, and one of the men fed her some food.

Valeria turned her head away and said coldly, "I'll double your pay. Tell me, who ordered you to do this? Was it Elsie?"

The man retracted the food he had offered and replied, "Sorry, but we have our rules in this line of work. We can't betray trust, or no one will hire us in the future. Just stay here for the night, and you'll be free to go tomorrow." "Casimir, let me feed her. We can't let such a beauty starve."

"You're delusional. She's not interested in you. Don't waste your effort." The man looked disdainful as he sat on the side, eating his own meal.

Valeria could sense how repulsive the man approaching her through the darkness was. She roared, "Back off! I warn you, if you dare to touch me, wait and see how I'll deal with you after tomorrow. Elsie won't be able to protect you!" "You're so pretty, yet your temper is awful. No wonder you've gotten yourself into trouble. Eat if you want, I don't care anymore."

The other man watched Valeria struggling on the bed and said, "Don't bother. Even if you break free, the two of us can handle you. Besides, we have no idea who Elsie is. We were hired by a middleman, not her."

Valeria snorted coldly, "Is the kidnapping business this professional now? And there's a middleman involved? I'll offer you ten times your pay, just give me the middleman's contact information."

"Ten times!" The man's henchman was tempted. This was ten times the price, and who wouldn't be tempted by that!

The man exchanged a glance with his little brother and then looked at Valeria. "That'll have to wait until after tomorrow. Once everything's done tomorrow, we'll let you go. If you want to cooperate with us then, we can discuss it." "Sure," Valeria replied without hesitation.

She wanted to see who was behind these people's actions, but her gut feeling still leaned toward Elsie.

Because her disappearance tonight would benefit Elsie the most, and Elsie originally didn't want her to return to the Maddox family.

But this night was quite unbearable for Valeria.

Sharing a room with these two men was as uncomfortable as it could get. She couldn't afford to sleep for even a second, fearing that if she did, these two men might do something to her.

Until midnight, Valeria kept her eyes wide open, staying vigilant even though she couldn't see anything through the black fabric covering her.

She heard one of the men snoring as if he was sleeping on the couch, but she couldn't hear where the other man was.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder. It was the other man's.

"Get your dirty hands off me!" Valeria exclaimed in anger.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The man was taken aback and instinctively pulled his hand back. He hadn't expected Valeria to still be awake, remaining alert at all times.

"You're not asleep yet? I was worried you might be lonely, so I came to keep you company."

His slimy words made Valeria physically uncomfortable, and she felt like gagging.

But she held it in and asked, "Keep me company? How are you planning to do that? Do you like me?"

The man blushed and nodded, "Well, yeah, you're very pretty, my type actually, and you look a lot like the lead actress in the TV show I've been watching latel
