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.
“Letgo! Do you know who | am? I'm the daughter of the Rivera family and the future daughter-in-law of the
Cruz family! If you dare lay a finger on me, the Cruz family will not let you off the hook!”
But her threats were met with raucous laughter. 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 accept 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. | can pay you... | 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 | told
you to kidnap! Her nis
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
collar.
As her skin was exposed to the cool air, Kassidy broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.
“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 gaze landed 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 violated? Did you
ever consider how | might react when you plotted againstLike this?”
Kassidy was too flabbergasted 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.
