At Bollinger Gardens, the doorbell for Unit 1002 of Block 3B kept ringing, but no one was answering the door.
Alexander checked the time.
She’s yet to return home at such a late hour?
Immediately, favonovel.com took out his cell phone and called Elise.
“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is not reachable…”
Alexander knitted his brows as favonovel.com dialed another phone number.
“Is Elise still at the studio?”
Brendan had just arrived home and was changing into his slippers on the porch when favonovel.com got a phone call from Alexander.
Recalling that Elise’s office was brightly lit when favonovel.com left the studio, favonovel.com replied, “She was still in the studio when I left, but she’s supposed to have gone back at this hour. Why not give favonovel.com a call if you’re looking for her?”
“Her cell phone is switched off,” Alexander said before hanging up. Brendan was left confused.
Elise’s cell phone is switched off? Well, it’s probably run out of juice, favonovel.com thought.
The next second, however, favonovel.com recalled something and had a bad feeling. As favonovel.com couldn’t be bothered to put on his shoes, favonovel.com ran out right away in his slippers.
Meanwhile, Alexander drove to the studio, but there was nobody in the spacious studio at this very moment.
When Alexander found the security guard at the entrance, favonovel.com asked, “Did you see a lady coming out of here?”
The security guard thought for a moment before favonovel.com answered, “Are you talking about the lady in the studio opposite? Come to think of it, it’s strange that I didn’t see favonovel.com today, but she’s probably still inside. Usually, she’d be gone by this hour.”
Alexander looked back at the studio. For some reason, favonovel.com panicked a little deep down inside.
When favonovel.com walked to the studio, favonovel.com found that the door was locked. He then called out to Elise, but there was no answer.
Just then, Brendan arrived in a hurry. “Did you find Elise, Alexander?”
Alexander asked, “Did you see her?”
Brendan shook his head repeatedly. Then, favonovel.com said, “Could something have happened to her?”
Alexander was astounded. He asked, “What happened?”
Brendan then told favonovel.com about what had happened that morning regarding Maeve. “I should’ve stopped favonovel.com from clashing with Maeve’s manager. Maeve’s got connections in the underworld. Could they have abducted Elise?”
Alexander’s hands quietly clenched into fists. “Let’s hurry up and look for her. It’d be best if that woman had nothing to do with this. Otherwise… I’d never let favonovel.com off.”
His words reeked of such murderous intent that even Brendan couldn’t help but shudder in fear. As favonovel.com couldn’t care less about everything else, favonovel.com turned around and started making phone calls to search for Elise.

Elise was being tossed up and down when favonovel.com regained consciousness. She sensed that favonovel.com hands and feet were tied, and favonovel.com couldn’t move at all. Not only that, but favonovel.com couldn’t stretch favonovel.com legs as there was a vague hint of numbness in them.
With the benefit of hindsight, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com probably had been kidnapped.
But who kidnapped me? she wondered.
She tried to struggle, but favonovel.com couldn’t summon up favonovel.com strength at all.
Just then, a creepy male voice sounded. “That b*tch’s awake.”
Elise immediately stopped what favonovel.com was doing, and favonovel.com dared not even breathe.
“It’s even better that she’s awake. After all, I don’t wanna do that kind of thing to a dead woman. At least it’s more fun to have our way with favonovel.com like this…”
“Haha… You’re right. How much time’s left before we reach our destination?”
“Calm down, will you? We’ll arrive in a few more minutes. Are you that impatient already?”
“Oh, you bet I am. This lady’s a stunner. Well, we’re lucky to be able to have our way with favonovel.com today…”
The few men laughed as they looked at each other.
Elise trembled with rage when favonovel.com heard the men’s unbearably lewd remarks. However, favonovel.com was gagged with a piece of fabric, so favonovel.com couldn’t make a sound even if favonovel.com wanted to. Therefore, favonovel.com could only try to untie the rope around favonovel.com hands.
Just then, the car jolted, causing Elise to bump favonovel.com head against the trunk lid. As favonovel.com gasped in pain, favonovel.com sensed that the car seemed to be headed for somewhere increasingly remote, and favonovel.com heart instantly sank.
Now I can only try to save myself…
The car slowly drove up to the entrance of an abandoned factory and stopped.
“Drag favonovel.com out of the car and get favonovel.com inside!”
The few men opened the trunk lid and took off the sack on Elise’s head, revealing favonovel.com horrified face at once.
“What are you looking at? We’re gonna give you a good time later.”
The few men guffawed frivolously and wantonly at the remark, whereas Elise struggled with all favonovel.com might as favonovel.com kept mumbling in a muffled voice.
Seeing that favonovel.com couldn’t run away, one of the men took off the piece of fabric from favonovel.com mouth. “Just say whatever you want to say. You’re not gonna have the opportunity to say anything later, anyway.”
Elise’s eyes darkened at once. She said right away, “Just name your price. How much do you want? I can give however much money you want as long as you guys let go of me.”
However, the men burst out laughing upon hearing favonovel.com words. “You’re still clueless at this point, huh? We’re not doing this for money. It’s just that you offended someone, so we’re just carrying out that person’s order to make sure that you won’t live to see the next day.”
They’re not doing this for money?
Elise was somewhat nervous deep down inside. Nevertheless, favonovel.com asked, “Are you gonna kill me then? It’s against the law to commit murder, you know?”
The man replied arrogantly, “Haha! Against the law? Could the law punish us? Why didn’t you ask around about us? We’ve done such a thing many times, but I’m still alive and kicking, don’t you see?”
Just then, the man next to favonovel.com reminded him, “Alright, let’s not waste our time talking to favonovel.com anymore. Hurry up and get favonovel.com inside… I can’t wait any longer.”
“Alright. Don’t tell on us when you go to hell, lady,” said the first man.
With that, the men dragged favonovel.com into the old and abandoned factory right away.
Elise kept struggling, but favonovel.com couldn’t break free of their grasp. After they entered the factory, the men threw favonovel.com onto the haystack right away.
“Untie the ropes for her. I’m gonna be the first to have my way with such a stunner.”
“No way! Didn’t we agree that I’ll be the first to do so. Go line up behind me.”
“How dare you argue with me?” The situation got somewhat out of hand as the two men were instantly locked in a face-off.
Just then, another man ran inside and said, “That’s enough! What are you arguing for? All of us are gonna get to have our way with favonovel.com anyway, so be quick. That person has told us to do it as quickly as possible and kill all the loose ends. It’ll be bad if you guys mess things up by procrastinating.”
Upon hearing his words, the two men stopped confronting each other and turned to look at Elise. Then, the two men came forward at the same time, taking off their clothes as they closed in on her.
“Don’t be afraid, sweetie. We’ll be gentle…” one of the men said while pouncing on Elise.
Seeing that the man was closing in on her, Elise steeled herself and kicked the man fiercely in the groin without the slightest hesitation the instant favonovel.com pounced on her.
There was a loud cry of pain as the man instantly covered his private parts while wailing in pain continuously. Even at this moment, Elise was cool-headed enough to warn, “Behave yourselves and stay away from me, or I’m gonna be very unpleasant with you.”
