It’s a famous saying that your opponent only understands your statement when you use their language. And trust me, this method proved its worth tonight..
Their faces took a haunted look as they gawked at me, my hysterical yelling widened their eyes. The goons stood there frozen, trying to process the shock. They found it challenging to believe my words.
But they still considered my warning and started arguing, ignoring me all along. I took advantage of this golden chance and reached for the wireless device hidden on me: my bracelet. A camera with multiple security features was the marvel of technology, I had it on me to record Leo’s confession to expose him in public.
However, I didn’t know that I would use this device for my protection. Now it came in handy, I barely managed to send the signal to the outside world. This device had the useful feature of sending SOS messages to the emergency contact numbers added. So, I was
hopeful that my brother would come to save me.
Soon enough, the kidnappers agreed with a method to improve the ritual and glanced at me. Their sharp eyes immediately caught my unusual moments. Realizing something was off, they got even angrier, resuming their hitting with more force.
“What are you up to, bitch? You can’t distract us from our mission.”
One of them was a tech geek, he proposed the existence of a spy camera. Tears welled up in my eyes as they began to check my body, I was terrified by the outcome of being discovered. But I was powerless before those goons!

All my fears turned to reality as they found the device in no time. The tech geek was indeed a genius. The rage of my kidnappers shook the room, making me jump as they screamed in
unison.
“The ritual will start now! Nothing can stop us.”
My heart flipped in iny chest as their leader lit a torch, and they all chanted some sort of spell. He pointed out a symbol on the floor before throwing the torch on it, raising fine hair on my nape. A wave of acid welled up from my belly, knotting my stomach, I felt trapped as

the flares of flame slowly ran across the room.
The fear of approaching death froze the blood coursing through my veins, I could no longer see anything but threat. My heart stumbled over its rhythm as I couldn’t even cry due to
fear.
At that moment, my daughter’s face appeared in my mind, making me question my choices. I was blindly following my revenge spree, ignoring the best time to spend with Jane. Had I gone too far?
Shouldn’t I move forward and forget everything of the past?
My chest ached as I thought about her sadness, praying in my heart for a miracle as every passing second was taking me closer to death. Closing my eyes shut, I was calling my brother in my heart when the loud thud of the door opening resounded in my ears, followed by an authoritative voice echoing in the surroundings.
“Stop! The police are on their way!”
That familiar voice reeled me in astonishment, forcing my eyes open. I was dumbstruck to sée that tall figure.
“Leo?”
Behind him was my brother, Henry.
But the gangster was faster than him.
They grabbed my neck tightly to threaten Leo and Henry to stop.
Leo winked at me, and I understood what he meant. I used my elbow to push the kidnapper
hard between the ribs.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Leo tackled him in an instant. This is a common move he often uses when fighting on the ice rink.
Henry was fighting with the second kidnapper. I tried to break free from the restraints on my hands. At this time, the third kidnapper came to me with a baseball bat.
The baseball bat was raised high and then fell hard. I closed my eyes tightly, but the

expected pain did not come.
But I did hear the clear sound of the hit..
I opened my eyes and Leo was in front of me. Blood was running down his cheek. I wanted to say something or do something, but I was almost scared.
Leo was dragged away and beaten and insulted.
“Are you the ice hockey star? Mind your own business.”
The kidnapper kicked him hard. “Damn!” Leo curled up tightly, covering his abdomen, and groaned in silence.
