Semua Bab SWEET REVENGE (He Betrayed Me, Now He Must Pay): Bab 81 - Bab 90

CHAPTER 81Lin Woo’s POVI sat in the darkness, my heart pounding so loudly I could hear it in my ears. At first, when I woke up in this place, I told myself I was fine, that I could handle it, that I wasn’t the type to panic, but the longer we stayed in that cold room, the more I realized I wasn’t fine at all. Not even close.I was terrified.Every small sound made my chest tighten, every footstep I imagined outside the door made my stomach twist, and the worst part was that Esteban looked completely calm, like we were just waiting for a late bus instead of being kidnapped by people who were probably planning to kill us.“Is this normal for you?” I asked finally, my voice quieter than I intended.He looked at me for a long moment before answering.“Yes,” he said simply. “I work for a mafia boss. I got used to it. But I am never caught off guard. These are smart.”“Wow,” I muttered, leaning my head back against the wall. “Just great. That makes me feel so much better.”I tried to move

CHAPTER 83Lin Woo's POVEsteban grabbed the man by the hair and slammed his face into the concrete floor.The sound was sickening.A wet crack.Blood splattered across the floor instantly.The man screamed once, but Esteban didn’t stop.He slammed his face down again.And again.And again.Each time, there was a horrible crunching sound, like breaking wood mixed with wet cloth.By the third hit, the man wasn’t really screaming anymore.By the fifth, his face didn’t look like a face anymore.The other men finally snapped out of their shock and rushed at Esteban all at once.What happened next didn’t even look like a fight.It looked like slaughter.One man swung a punch.Esteban caught his arm, twisted it backward until there was a loud snap, then drove his elbow into the man’s throat. The man dropped immediately, choking on blood.Another came from behind with a knife.Esteban turned, grabbed his wrist, and forced the knife into the man’s own stomach, then dragged it upward. The man

CHAPTER 85Lin Woo's POVHis fist connected with the first guy’s face so hard I heard the crack before I even saw the man drop.The second guy barely had time to react before Esteban grabbed him by the collar and slammed him straight into the wall.Hard.The guy’s head hit the concrete with a dull sound, and he went limp instantly.I just stood there for a second, stunned.“Move,” Esteban said sharply.Right.Running.Alive.Important.I forced my legs to move again and ran past them, trying very hard not to look down at the bodies.“This is insane,” I muttered under my breath.“This is normal,” Esteban replied.“That is not comforting!”We kept going.Another turn.Another hallway.My chest was burning now, my lungs screaming, but the adrenaline was the only thing keeping me going.Then more footsteps.In front of us this time.“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me,” I whispered.Three men.Blocking the next turn.They saw us immediately.“There they are!”One of them reached for somethin

CHAPTER 87Spencer’s POVI noticed there was an edge to the way Esteban sat and the way Lin Woo kept fiddling with everything around him, like he couldn’t keep his hands still.Something had definitely happened.I leaned forward, resting my hands on my knees, raising a brow.“What happened there?”Esteban glanced at Lin Woo, and Lin Woo immediately looked away, suddenly very interested in the table..Yeah. Something definitely happened.“Esteban, I’m speaking to you,” I repeated.He looked back at me, held my gaze for a moment, then shook his head slightly.“We got kidnapped, beaten, and escaped. That’s it.”That was a lie.I knew when Esteban lied. He didn’t do it often, but when he did, it was always short, always simple, always meant to end the conversation.That wasn’t all that happened.But I also knew it would be better to ask him in private later, not in front of Lin Woo.“Who do you think did this? Derrick?” I asked.Esteban shrugged slightly. “I don’t know. We have a lot of

CHAPTER 89Spencer’s POVHospitals are slow.I’ve always hated that about them. Too many white walls, too many waiting rooms, too much time to sit and think.Esteban had tried to walk in like nothing was wrong, like his ribs weren’t broken, like he hadn’t fought half a building a few hours ago. But the moment the doctor examined him properly and saw the scans, everything changed.Two broken ribs.One cracked rib.Internal bruising.They took him in immediately.“Family?” the nurse asked me.I paused for a second before answering, “Something like that.”They took him behind the double doors, and I was left sitting in the waiting area alone.Hours passed.Clara called twice. I told her he was fine. Lin Woo texted once. I told him to sleep. He was probably already passed out anyway.So I sat there, leaning back in the uncomfortable hospital chair, thinking.Thinking about the kidnapping.Thinking about the men.Thinking about Esteban’s story.Thinking about who would be stupid enough to
