She’d been betrayed by the very ruffians she’d hired!


    The thought terrified Kassidy; she had approached them knowing they’d stoop to any low for money,


    and the reality was now petrifying.


    “Let me go! Do you know who I am? I’m the daughter of the Rivera family and the future daughter-in-


    law of the Cruz family! If you darey a finger on me, the Cruz family will not let you off the hook!”


    But her threats were met with raucousughter. One of them approached her, wiping her tears with a


    sly smile.


    “Once we’re done with you, you won’t be marrying into the Cruz family. They’d never ept a woman


    like you.”


    The fright nearly choked Kassidy. She recoiled in horror, sobbing hysterically, her face streaked with


    tears and snot.

    “Please, don’t touch me. I can pay you… I can give you a lot of money…”


    A sudden thought struck her. She raised her head, pleading, “If it’s a woman you want, go after the one


    I told you to kidnap! Her name is

    Loraine. She’s far more beautiful than me, and much more entertaining!


    Since her divorce, her personal Life has been a mess. She’s a notorious socialite in Vagow! She’ll give


    you what you want, and she can offer more money!”


    Her words fell on deaf ears as one of the men’s hands began to roam her body, his fingers deftly


    untying her cor.


    As her skin was exposed to the cool air, Kassidy broke down, sobbing uncontrobly.


    “Please, don’t touch me. I’m soon to be wed to the Cruz family. I’m heading to Zodiac…”


    With a swift rip, a significant portion of her attire was torn away.


    As desperation seeped into her and she braced for the worst, the blindfold on her face was abruptly


    removed.


    Kassidy’s once pristine makeup was now a smudged mess, her eyes blurred from tears. She sniffled


    and raised her eyes, only to see a slender silhouette.


    She stared in shock and when her gazended on Loraine’s face, she let out a shrill cry, “Loraine? Why


    are you here?”


    With her phone in one hand, Loraine withdrew her other hand from


    Kassidy, the one that had terrified her moments ago.


    Loraine looked at Kassidy impassively, a sneer tugging at her lips.


    “Miss Rivera, are you now aware of the utter helplessness and despair a girl feels when she is


    vited? Did you ever consider how I might react when you plotted against me Like this?”


    Kassidy was too bbergasted to utter a word. The other men involved in the charade removed their


    masks, aligning themselves behind Loraine.


    They were an assembly of suited bodyguards.
