I Ran Away With My Kidnapper

The private room was buzzing with voices, and the mix of smoke and alcohol hit me straight in the head.I felt sick, so I walked out and went to the restroom.I stood in front of the mirror and felt cold water run down my arm.I was finally aware of the world again. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw that I was no longer the lively person I once was.The thought made me chuckle wryly.Once I felt better, I turned back toward the room. Just as I reached the door, I overheard the conversation inside.“Mr. Stone, congratulations. Ms. Lowell returned safely, but she has gone through a lot. You must have been worried sick.”“Of course. Everyone in Central City knows how much you treasure your girlfriend, Mr. Stone. We’ll definitely be there to offer a toast on the wedding day.”I thought Ethan Stone would smile, agree, and maybe even talk about how much he loved me.But he did not.He let out a mocking laugh and shot a disdainful look at the place where I was seated a

I pushed open the door and walked alone into the endless night.Under the dim moonlight, tears filled my eyes. Everything was blurry, and I could barely see the road ahead.I just kept walking in the darkness.When I finally wiped my eyes, I realized I had walked into a dead end.I forced out a wry smile as I looked at the wrong path in front of me. Just as I was about to turn away, I saw a drunken figure behind me.“Hey, beautiful. Out so late? Something bothering you? Maybe I can keep you company.”Fear gripped me as a man stepped closer. “Stay back, or I will call the police!”The man ignored that and walked toward me.“Don’t worry, little lady. I will make you happy.”As he got closer, I gripped my bag tightly and swung it at him.With a loud smash, my phone hit him on the head. He screamed in pain.“Ahh!!! How dare you?! You’ve done it now!”I tried to run past him as he grunted in pain.He reacted instantly, grabbed me, and knocked me to the ground.“You! How dare

“Jane, are you really this cheap? I was gone for one night, and you ran to another man? Who is he?”If last night left me disappointed, then today shattered every last trace of hope.I shoved Ethan aside, pulled the coat lying next to me, and said coldly, “Who I sleep with is none of your concern. We broke up last night. Remember? “And this is my house. You should leave!”Ethan was about to say something when Lucas emerged. Ethan glared and snapped, “Really? Him? Why is he here? Jane, are you really this desperate?”Before he could finish, I struck him hard across the face.Ethan did not even have time to react. Lucas walked over, pulled me into his arms, and looked at him with a smug smile.“Mr. Stone, what are you doing? Don’t you know that love can’t be forced? Besides, I’m Jane’s boyfriend now.”Seeing Lucas’s smug face seemed to trigger Ethan even more. He tried to grab my wrist and shouted, “Jane! You—”But before he could finish, Lucas kicked him out the door and locke

The moment Ethan saw me, his eyes lit up with surprise. He walked over with Yelena at his side.Before he could say anything, Yelena spoke up.“Ms. Lowell, are you here for Ethan? “That day was a misunderstanding. You like him so much. How could you possibly marry someone else?”Her words made everyone look at me.The moment they saw me, whispers rose in the crowd.“That’s Jane Lowell, isn’t it? I heard on her engagement day that Ethan’s rival kidnapped her. More than one guy…”“I heard the same thing. They say there’s even a video. Scandalous!”“She looks so proper, but in private, she’s wild!”The gossip spread quickly. Yelena’s eyes flashed smugly. Ethan did not look happy, but he let the whispers continue. He looked at me like he was doing me a favor.“Jane, for the sake of what we had, I’ll give you a chance. “If you apologize to me right now, the wedding’s still on for next month. Don’t worry. You’ll still be the bride.”He looked so sure of himself and acted as t
