A Danger To Be Safe In

CHAPTER 28

"LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER"

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

I became conscious when i heard loud cracking sounds that echoed in the room, i went to move my body when i realized that I couldn't. Only then did i felt that all of my limbs were restrained very tightly that I couldn't even struggle in whatever was keeping me still, damn I couldn't even open my eyes to see what was going on. What did they do to me? I feel so tired, my eyes were so heavy, my entire body felt heavy like i was having a fever, my head felt a little dizzy like my surroundings were turning a little but not enough for me to puke, and from what i feel like right now, i was sitting on a chair. From the feel of it, my legs were tied to the chair's legs itself and my arms were tied behind the back of it, even my chest was also tied back to it.

I really couldn't move.

My back still hurts making me wince in pain.

What was going on?

My memory quickly went to when i was still awake before who knows how long it's been. I began taking a mental check list of what I remembered of what happened.

Okay Jennie. Think, what happened earlier?

First, i discovered that Lisa is the one who's responsible for my parent's deaths. She used a bomb to get rid of my pre-killed parents who were shot, when she got out she was bleeding all over so I'm guessing that my parents had their last rodeo and fought her off for a little before Lisa finally did her deed.

Next, she comes in just as i was balling my eyes out because one, i finally discovered the true cause of death of my parents, and then two, i care deeply about the person who murdered them. Do i forgive Lisa, without a heavy doubt i probably do. Maybe I'm in denial and i want to hurt Lisa for doing it, but...considering her circumstances back then, she couldn't do anything herself. We were both preys of our own predator in the food chain.

After that, we were attacked by a hoard of men who came out of nowhere. That was the first time i ever saw Lisa in action, the way she didn't show any weakness or any signs of unfocusing as she used her bare hands to get around the enemies and leading them into a trap of her own. While she fought hard and brutally, i ran for the door in hopes of getting to Pierro only to see him tied up and we were surrounded by men in black that prevented us from escaping our very own home from danger.

By the time we were surrounded, i finally encountered him.

Yang Hyun-suk, the man behind it all. The man who has a 50/50 chance of going to jail and a chance to walk free with his crimes swept under the rug.

I went out of my trance when i heard the cracking sound echo loudly in the room again, i wanted to see what was going on but i was hella sleepy making it hard for me to even open my eyes narrowly. Though i felt really heavy and exhausted, i blinked my eyes continuously just to opwn them clearly like i always do when i push myself to wake up early every morning.

Feeling sick to my stomach when the nervousness of the situation was slowly kicking in. What did they do to me? Did they drug me? What are they gonna do to me soon?

When i finally got to open my eyes after blinking for a couple of times, my vision was a little blurry so i narrowed my eyes until it finally focused like a camera lens. I felt my heart sank when i saw Lisa kneeling on the floor, her hands chained up high by the chains that hung up to each side of the circular room with a sun roof at the very top, letting the moon's light illuminate the lightless room.
