Unexpected Second Chance at Love [3]

CHAPTER 591: You're not worthy

Inside one of the many rooms in the old and rundown Victorian hotel, Ning Mei laid on top of a bed not too far from the window.

"Mm."

She muffles a soft moan as her eyes flutter open. She stares up at the unfamiliar ceiling and she frowns. However, it didn't take long before realization dawn on her and her body trembles.

Before she fainted, she remember the red mask man in the bathroom, then the news that Director Yeun had sold her off.

The scene of the bullet that shot pass her floats in her head. Her eyes widen and he quickly sits up to pat herself down. She didn't care that she was only wearing a bathrobe and continues to search for any wounds other than the small scratch she had on the arm.

She sighs in relief when there were no other injuries. Lifting her head up, she scans the room as best as she could. However, due to the poor lighting in the room, she was unable to make out anything.

"Where is this place?"

The bed she had been placed on was a full-sized bed. She moves her feet to the left as it was the direction the door was at. However, just when she tried to move her right leg, the sound of metals clanking enters her ears.

"..."

Like the cold breeze during a winter night suddenly blew in, Ning Mei felt herself frozen to the bed. Without moving her body, she turns her head in slow motion to look where the sound had come from.

"W-What... is this?"

Her lower lip began to tremble uncontrollably with the rest of her body following after. She stretch her arm to where her right foot is, and the tips of her fingers touches the cold chain that had been cuffed around her ankle.

"Ahh!!"

She shrieks loudly like a ghost had appear in front of her. At first, she thought it might have been her mind messing with her. However, being able to touch the chain cuff, she knew this was all real.

"No..."

Her head slowly shakes from side to side before gradually shaking it faster in denial. Dread and panic rush inside her and she frantically search for something in the room to remove the chain.

However, there was not a single tool for her to use or at least her eyes could not make out.

Seeing the only window that was only 3 feet away from the bed, she crawls down from the bed. She didn't care if her right ankle was still chained, the space between the bed and window was enough for her to get near.

Pulling the curtains apart, broken pieces of shattered glass fell onto her and the floor as the window was already broken. She ignores it and poke her head out to scream as loud as she could.

"Help! Somebody help me!!"

She has no idea where she had been taken to, but she believes that if anyone heard her plead for help, they will help her.

"Please! Help me! I have been kidnap! Someone call the police!"

Streams of tears pour down from her eyes as her sobs turn into wails. She screams every word at the top of her lungs, but it was as if the entire place had been deserted.

"Wuu... Somebody help me... Wuuu..."

After screaming for a while, her voice turned hoarse and she could only wail to herself. No matter how much she screamed, it was all pointless.

She realized that even the lights to the neighboring buildings were off and not a single shadow or car can be seen from the street below.

However, what Ning Mei did not know is that, the building she is in is in the middle of the slums. It is an area that society had long forgot about and even if someone were to hear her, they were not going to help her.
