A few moments later Kathlene was alarmed when the doors opened up again. She wipe her tears and looked at the man who entered.

"Sino ka?" tanong ni Kathlene dito, dahil as far she remembered he was not the one who buy her.

"Please be ready, he will come at your room a few more minutes." instead answering her question, the man said another thing.

"Wait!" pigil ni Kathlene dito ng nakita nitong palabas na ito ng silid.

"Ano? Wala ka ng dapat pang sabihin miss, ihanda mo na ang iyong sarili." sagot nito.

"Please I'm begging you.. help me.." Kathlene tried to beg for their life.

"I'm sorry but I can't do that. May pamilya ding umaasa sa akin." sagot nito kay Kathlene

"And my baby need a family too.. I'll give you anything you want. Please helped me scape this place..."

A few seconds the man was standing their.

"What about I'll give you money? Five hundred million? one billion? Name your price please I'm begging you.. I'm pregnant right now.."

Nang marinig ng lalaki na buntis ito ay bigla itong naawa kay Kathlene, but he can't let her scape dahil kung hindi pamilya niya naman ang mawawala.

"Sorry miss.. but I will give you this." iniabot nito ang isang folded knife kay Kathlene. "Five hundred million will do for the knife. And about to your life, it's your own luck. Gusto kitang tulungan at ang baby mo pero may pamilya din akong dapat bantayan, sana ay maintindihan mo ako." before the man leaves he put a tape to her mouth. "Pay the money later if you succeed, good luck."

As the moment the man leave another man entered the room to checked her. When the other man saw her tied hands and taped lips, he also leave the room.

Her restrained palms were covered in cold sweat. After confirming that the noise outside had faded into the distance, Kathlene carefully twisted the folded knife in her hands.

The truth proved that the five hundred million she had spent was not completely in vain. The man who restrained her had tied her arms well and had indeed kept his word.

She forcefully twisted her wrist, gradually loosening the rope so that there was some space for her hands to move. She then carefully opened the knife. She recalled the instructions she had received and sawed the sharp knife against the rope between her index and middle finger.

Her restrained hands made it difficult to move. She spent a lot of time and strength on these few motions. As her body was covered in a layer of sweat, she could not gather much strength and could only gradually cut the rope.

After more than two minutes, the rope finally broke. She did not dare to relax, carefully undoing the ropes. When it was finally undone, and her hands were free, she quickly tore the tape off of her lips.

Right now, her lips were most likely red from tearing off the tape. She resisted the pain, held in a breath, and bent down to cut the ropes binding her legs.

Finally, she regained her freedom. She then carefully stood up. Her legs were already numb from being restrained. She stumbled to the door with light and slow steps, pressing her ear against the door to listen for any movements outside.

It seemed like these people were certain she would not be able to escape and did not arrange for anyone to keep watch.

Earlier, when she was brought in, she noticed that the path was extremely narrow and dark. They had passed through a corridor at the end to climb down the staircase. They had then approached a door concealed by the audio equipment in the corner.
