I glanced at Damon with a pitiful face, hoping he would stop, but he didn’t spare me a glance as he increased his pace.
‘What had happened? Why did he increase his pace just after a phone call? These questions swirled in my head, knowing that Damon wouldn’t give me an answer.’
Finally, the race that felt like it had lasted forever came to an end with a sudden stop. My body was pulled forward, and my head crashed against the car part in front of me. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for the impact, but nothing came.
I opened my eyes to see Damon’s hands in front of my head. I looked at him; his face still cold and indifferent. I could feel the temperature of the car suddenly drop, but my stomach was churning.
I felt like throwing up. I quickly closed my mouth while trying to use my other hand to open the car door. “Arghhhh!” I yelled as I spilled out as soon as I left the car.
“Find your way home,” Damon’s cold voice resounded in my ears, accompanied by the sudden speed off of his car. I stood rooted to the ground, feeling utterly lost in the middle of nowhere.
It was almost dawn, and the evening sun was setting as the clouds started to show little stars.
Suddenly, a cold night breeze hit me, sending chills through my body. Tears began to flow down my cheeks uncontrollably as I heard the loud roar of thunder, signaling that rain was coming.
“Can today get any worse?” I couldn't help but squat on the floor as my legs began to feel wobbly.
Just then, a black car that looked exactly like Damon’s parked in front of me. I stood up immediately, thinking it was Damon; he must have come back. But instead, men dressed in black tailored suits with broad, muscular features approached, making me feel oppressed.
They looked like professional bodyguards.
“What! Wh-what do you want?” I stammered as one of the guards lifted me over his shoulder and shoved me into the car, slamming the door hard.
“Let go of me!” I screamed, hoping to be heard and maybe rescued from these kidnappers.
But my mouth was silenced with a white, soft cloth that smelled awful. I felt choked as I tried to pull it off, but my hands were held tightly. I couldn't help inhaling the awful smell in the cloth as I choked, and then everything went blank.

A blast of cold water jolted me from my slumber as I gasped, heaving for air.
“Hahaha, look at that cute face!”
