Although she had been hauled like a sack of potatoes and slapped on the face, Victoria was at least sure she wasn’t hallucinating.

    Although she had been hauled like a sack of potatoes and slapped on the face, Victoria was at least sure she wasn’t hallucinating.Through the tiny window of the room she had been caged in, she could see him. She could tell that the window was facing the back of the hotel, particularly a dark and narrow alleyway.She had spent the last few minutes watching the area, hoping to find something that could help her escape. The window was too small for her to climb through, and the door remained locked. She had tried calling out earlier, but nobody had responded. Whoever had been assigned to guard her was either ignoring her deliberately or had been instructed not to entertain any of her complaints.Victoria had no idea how much time had passed since she had been brought there. Her wrists were sore from the ropes, her ankles still ached, and the side of her face where Serena had slapped her was beginning to hurt more than she wanted to admit.Yet she refused to give up.Ryder would com

    Sam had always been good at his job.For years, he had been the person Ryder Lake could depend on whenever something needed to be handled. He knew the CEO’s schedule better than most people knew their own, understood his preferences, and could anticipate what he needed before he asked for it. Whether it was arranging meetings, handling confidential documents, or dealing with people who wanted access to Ryder, Sam had always made himself useful.It was what a good assistant was supposed to do.At least, that was what Ryder believed.Sam stood beside the reception desk on the hotel’s ground floor, holding a folder against his chest as he waited for one of the employees to finish speaking to a guest. He had been in and out of the building enough times over the years to know its layout, including the entrances most people rarely used. The hotel was one of Tecna’s properties, and Ryder occasionally visited when he needed somewhere private to meet important clients.Sam had accompa

    “He still isn’t picking up?” Julie asked, as she got into the car and fastened her seat belt.The only reason she was getting in alongside him was because of Victoria. Truly, his presence was unbearable.Julius glanced at her from the driver’s seat, his lips curving into a smile. “You could at least pretend you’re happy to see me. I know you missed me.”Julie turned to look at him, her face full of disbelief. “Did you hit your head on your way here?”“Why would you ask me that?” Julius asked, placing one hand on the steering wheel. “Is it because you can’t believe a handsome man like me would be willing to spend his precious time with you?”“It’s because I’m beginning to think you have a serious problem, and you need to see a doctor.”He laughed, clearly enjoying her irritation. “You worry about me so much. That’s sweet of you, Julie.”“I am not worried about you. I’m worried about Victoria, who is probably in danger while you’re busy making a fool of yourself.”Julius’s smile

    Victoria stared at her freed hands for another moment, still finding it difficult to believe she had actually managed to get out of the ropes.For the first time since Serena’s men had dragged her into the room, she felt as though she had a chance of doing something about her situation. Her wrists were sore, and her shoulders ached from the effort of keeping her arms behind her back, but she could finally move them freely.She rubbed her wrists before turning her attention to the ropes around her ankles.Getting them off should be easier now that she could use her hands.Victoria reached down and began working at the knot, pulling at the tight strands until she found the part that had been secured. Her fingers were stiff from being restrained for so long, and she had to pause several times when the rope refused to loosen. She tried a different angle, carefully working her fingers beneath the knot until it finally began to give.A few moments later, she slipped her feet free.Vic

    Ryder was led upstairs to a private lounge. As he walked alongside the men in black, he wondered, ‘How did she get access to this place?’Plus, the place was practically empty, with the exception of the men who were obviously working for Serena.The lounge was spacious, with several leather chairs arranged around a low table and a bar occupying one corner. The curtains had been drawn over the windows, keeping the afternoon sunlight from entering the room. Everything appeared to be in order, but Ryder couldn’t help noticing how unusual it was to find the place so empty.He knew the hotel well enough to understand that the lounge was usually accessible to guests who wanted somewhere private to relax or hold informal meetings. Yet, there wasn’t a single guest in sight, and the only people present seemed to be waiting for him.Serena had clearly made arrangements before his arrival.Ryder followed the men through the lounge until he spotted her sitting on a couch near the far end of

    Victoria remained close to the window, trying to make sense of what she had just seen.There was no doubt about it. She recognized the hotel entrance, the familiar driveway, and even the arrangement of the cars parked outside. She had been there before, and she remembered the place far too well to mistake it for another building.It was the hotel where she had met Ryder for the first time.She could still remember how nervous she had been that day, how she had walked into the building with the intention of pitching her business to Julius Lee, only to find herself standing in front of a man who would eventually become her husband. At the time, she had been desperate for an opportunity to save EVANGELINE, and Ryder had offered her a deal she could hardly believe.Now she was desperate to escape. Victoria looked outside again, hoping to spot something that might help her determine which part of the building she was in. Unfortunately, the narrow window offered only a limited view.
