NovelEnglishChapter 168: The air was thick with tension, Kellans hostility practically vibrating off him.
His jaw clenched as he muttered under his breath, Im going to kill every last one of them. But in that moment, revenge wasnt the priority protecting Allison from the worst was. Without hesitation, he resolved to provoke the men, to pull their attention away from her.
Ill distract them Before he could finish, Allison, ever perceptive, interrupted him with a firm shake of her head.
No need, she said, her voice calm yet resolute.
Thats too risky, and you might get hurt.
Besides, Ive got my own way to handle this.
Its not as hopeless as it looks.
Her eyes locked onto his with sharp determination.
You just need to stall Damon.
She moved quickly, her hands working with precision.
Using a small shard of glass she had retrieved earlier, Allison began sawing through the rope binding her wrists.
In mere moments, the rope was on the verge of snapping.

Here, she whispered.
Take it.
The doors locked now, but if anyone comes back, theyll likely be careless and leave it open.
Thats our window.
Be ready.
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a lock turning confirmed her suspicion. The door creaked open, revealing Rugal with a greasy smirk plastered on his face.
Ive had my eye on you for a while, sweetheart.
Play nice, and III make sure you have a good time.
His eyes roved over her, his hand already reaching for her chest.
But Allison didnt flinch.
Instead, she tilted her head slightly, her lips curving into a radiant smile one that only heightened her natural beauty.
Not here, she murmured.
I dont like an audience.
But outside... with the car lights on us, andall helpless now that sounds exciting, dont you think? Rugal froze, his lust-fueled mind easily swayed by the sweet lilt of her voice.
For a brief moment, he was mesmerized.
Allisons seductive smile, combined with her alluring voice, was enough to make any man fall at her feet.
But... He faltered, unsure.
Allison batted her lashes, her voice softening further, innocent yet intoxicating.
Con, theres no but.
My hands are tied, so I cant do anything.
And your men are guarding the place.
Where could I even run to? Trust me, I just want to make this easier on both of us.
Rugal grunted, her words sinking in.
They made sense.
Run? You? In those heels? Against me? What a joke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis laugh was coarse, confident.
With no more doubt clouding his judgment, Rugal pulled out a knife and sliced the rope around her feet. Alright, sweetheart.
You asked for it.
Lets make sure you enjoy this.
Damon, watching from the sidelines, narrowed his eyes.
Something about the situation didnt sit right with him.
Arent you supposed to handle that here? he called out, his brow om furrowing as he watched Rugal drag Allison outside.
Careful with that one... Before he could finish, Kellans violent-coughing interrupted, drawing Damons attention back. If its money you want, Kellan rasped, have your men contact my assistant for the ransom.
Gathering that kind of cash takes time.
Once your boss shows up, you wont get a piece of it.
Damons eyes flickered with greed.
Heh.
You better be worth all this trouble.
Women didnt interest him much; his desires lay elsewhere in money.
With a final glance at the retreating Rugal and Allison, Damgn stroden back into the cabin, ready to pry information from Kellan.
