love by chance

chapter 19

Nadiya's eyes adjusted slowly to the dim light, revealing a grim scene. She was surrounded by several girls, all bound and gagged, their hands and legs secured to the cold floor.

"Help!" one of the girls screamed, struggling against her restraints.

"Shut up!" a menacing voice bellowed from the shadows.

A burly goon emerged, his face twisted in a snarl. "Keep quiet, or I'll shoot you all!"

The girls cowered, tears streaming down their faces.

Nadiya's mind raced. Where was she? Why was she here?

The goon paced around the room, his gun glinting in the faint light. "You're all valuable merchandise now. Don't try anything stupid."

One of the girls, brave despite her fear, spoke up. "What do you want from us?"

The goon sneered. "You'll find out soon enough."

Nadiya's thoughts turned to Irfan. Would he find her? Was he looking?

Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside the room. The goon's expression changed from cruel to cautious.

"The boss is coming," he muttered, exiting the room.

A figure entered, shrouded in shadows. "So, these are the latest additions."

Nadiya's heart sank. What did this person have planned?

The figure approached her. "You're quite famous, Nadiya. Many want you."

Nadiya's eyes flashed defiance. "I won't cooperate."

The figure chuckled. "We'll see about that."

The boss's voice was low and menacing as he addressed his men. "Nadiya's clever. Don't underestimate her."

His men nodded, their faces set in determined lines.

"Keep a close eye on her," the boss continued. "She'll try to manipulate you, but don't fall for it."

One of the men spoke up. "Sir, what's the plan?"

The boss's gaze swept the room. "We'll sell her to the highest bidder. But first, we need to break her spirit."

Nadiya's eyes flashed with defiance, but she remained silent.

The boss turned to leave. "Remember, men, no mercy. She's a valuable commodity now."

As he exited, his men moved to surround Nadiya, their eyes cold and calculating.

Nadiya's breaths grew shallow and rapid. The goons exchanged worried glances.

"Hey, what's wrong?" one of them asked, noticing her distress.

Nadiya gasped, "I...I need...my inhaler. I'm an asthma patient."

One goon sneered, "You're lying! You just want to escape."

But another intervened, "No, we can't risk losing her. She's too valuable to the boss. If anything happens to her, we're done."

The goons hastily untied Nadiya, intending to take her to a hospital.

Just then, the other captives saw their chance. With a collective roar, they pounced on their captors, overpowering and tying them up.

"Quickly, Nadiya! We have to get out of here!" one captive shouted.

FLASH BACK;

Nadiya's eyes locked onto the glass shard on the floor, her mind racing with a daring plan. She pretended to struggle, distracting the goons.
