Baked yams were usually sold well until late winter, so Bella had traveled almost half of B City and spent nearly two hours before finally finding a store that sold yams.
She excitedly pointed at the yams in the oven and said, “Boss, wrap three large ones for me.”
“Okay.”
Paying the money, Bella walked back with the hot yams. She was about to take a taxi when suddenly a van flashed past her. Before she could react, the two black-clothed men in the car abducted her, and the yams in her hands fell to the ground and rolled very far.
“Who are you?”
She questioned in panic and tried to struggle, but her arms were firmly grabbed by the two men.
“You don’t need to know who we are. You’ll know everything when you get to your destination.”
“Do you know who I am? I’m Kevin’s wife. He won’t let you go if you kidnap me.”
One of the men smiled coldly, “We don’t care who you are. We take the money and do things for them. If we’re afraid, how can we still do this job?”
“How much? How much did they pay you to kidnap me? I’ll pay you to double. Now release me.”
“Well, miss, I’m sorry. Although we love money, we can’t afford to lose our credibility for the sake of money. So you just shut up before you annoy us and we seal your mouth.”
Seeing that they didn’t want her money, Bella began to think calmly. She spoke and act cautiously and hadn’t offended anyone. Who would hate her and kidnap her?
Thinking about it, she suddenly thought of someone.
In fact, her hunch was correct. When two black-clothed men took her to a dilapidated ruined building and, as expected, she saw her only enemy.
“Bella, did you not expect that you would fall into my hands so quickly?”
Colin walked up to her with a sinister face. Then Gillian also appeared. She gritted her teeth and said to Colin, “Mom, don’t talk nonsense with her. She humiliated us last time. Today we’ll return it to her double!”
“Yes. I’ll have to get back at you for my years of shame back today.”
Bella looked at them with a cold and mocking sneer, “Your shame over the years? That’s for me, isn’t it?”
Snap…
Colin slapped her heavily. Bella’s face was instantly imprinted with five thick fingerprints, “Bitch, your last hour has come. You still dare to oppose me. If I don’t let you suffer today, you won’t know how to be humble when you’re trapped in an inferior situation!”
“Mom, let me do it.”
Gillian stepped forward, pressed the knuckles of her fingers, and suddenly slapped Bella with all her strength. Bella was dizzy, and red blood oozed out of the corners of her lips. Her two arms were firmly controlled by the man in black. She couldn’t struggle.
Colin and Gillian began to slap her one after another. Bella bit her lip, because the wound on her heart was always displayed freely, so she could no longer feel the pain.
“Now you know the consequences of messing with me, right? How dare you bring people to smash my house? You’re looking for death.”
After Colin finished, Gillian fiercely kicked Bella’s stomach, and said, “I think you are the bitch who need someone to kick your ass.”
“Gillian, that’s too polite to her. We should do something a little more intense.”
“Mom, what should we do?”
Colin’s chin tipped up, “Go get me the things I brought with me.”
Gillian ran outside to the car and took her mother’s tool out of the trunk. It was a thin whip, “Is this it?”
“Right.”
Colin took over and smiled at Bella darkly, rubbing the whip into her face a few times, “Look at her fine and tender skin. It’s really as delicate as your slutty mother, Selina. Wasn’t your mother just relying on her look to seduce my husband back then? If I fling a few lashes in your face today, I wonder if any more men will be seduced by you in the future.”
Bella’s face was already swollen and bruised, and on her forehead were beads of sweat. She gnashed her teeth as she glared at the vicious woman in front of her and said, “If you dare to try to beat me, Kevin will never let you go!”
Hahaha-.
They let out sickening laughter, Gillian laughing the hardest, “Kevin? You expect him to come to your aid at this point. Bella, aren’t you too innocent? You cheated Kevin so miserably. He must hate you so much. Why would he care about you? Haha, what a joke!…”
“Kevin may even show his gratitude to us when he finds out that we punished you for him.”
“We are so kind, wasting our precious time to do the right thing for God. God will surely bless us with a long life…”
“Alright, let’s get down to business.”
Colin raised the whip in her hand and looked askance at Bella, “Actually, I’m quite unbearable to ruin your good-looking face. How about you kneeling down and kowtow to us three times, and we’ll let you go?”
“Bah!”
Bella spat a mouthful of phlegm in her face, “You should be the ones kneeling. You want me to kneel for you. You’re dreaming!!!”
Colin was infuriated by her and she shouted, “Tie her up!”
Two black-clothed men tied Bella’s hands and feet with rope, and then flashed to the side. Colin raised a whip in the air and whipped her ruthlessly. Bella let out a miserable scream, but Colin turned a deaf ear and whipped again. Bella was badly bruised from flogging. The two men standing on the side felt it cruel, and one man went forward, “Mrs. Burne-Brown, just hit her on the body. Don’t hit her in the face.”
Colin was stunned and indignantly questioned, “What? Could it be that you’re also bewitched by her face?”
“No, it’s so cruel. You should do good for yourself.”
“That’s ridiculous. It’s the first time I’ve heard this. Are kidnappers so kind?”
The man’s face fell, “I ask you don’t hit her face. You just listen to me. Don’t irritate me.”
Gillian saw that he was serious, not joking, and tugged on Colin’s sleeve, quietly whispered, “Mom, we listen to him for the time being, so that we will not suffer.”
Colin coughed, “That’s fine. I’ll pay attention to it.”
She raised her hand once again and whipped down hard to Bella’s back and front continuously. Bella finally lost consciousness and was dripping blood all over her body.
Only then was Colin satisfied. She stopped, and threw the whip to the ground, “Okay, let’s go.”
They had just reached the door, and suddenly Colin stopped again, “Mom, what’s wrong?” Gillian was confused.
“The little bitch is claustrophobic, isn’t she?”
Gillian thought, “Yes.”
“Then we can’t just let her go easily.” Colin instructed the two men behind her, “Lock her up in the dark room on the right. The door must be locked.”
Bella was carried by them to a small dark room on the right side of the ruined building, and after throwing her in there, there was only a click and the door was ruthlessly locked.
Bella was the most afraid of darkness. She woke up after being unconscious for a long time, saw darkness around her, suddenly closed her eyes in panic, and shed tears. She felt hurt physically and even more mentally. She did not dare to open her eyes, and told herself over and over again, “Bella, you can’t just fall down like this. You must live well because those who brought you pain are all still well.”
She shed tears nonstop. Her tears mixed with the blood on her body. She missed her mom so much. If her mom saw her like this now, how heartbroken she should be? Ten years later, they still bullied her. Because of in love with Kevin, she had changed nothing.
Lena searched for Bella for more than three hours but didn’t find her. Kevin only then realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately asked Alvin to bring people to search the whole city, and at dawn, Alvin returned to the hospital.
“How’s it going?”
Kevin asked urgently.
“According to the middle-aged man selling sweet potatoes in the south of the city, Bella was abducted in a car. She had just bought three sweet potatoes, but when she was dragged in the car, the sweet potatoes were left on the ground.”
“What car? Do you get a clue?”
“There’s no clue yet. We’ll have to wait for the law enforcement team to go to work and find the license plate number from the CCTV footage.”
Kevin’s face was a little pale. He violently lifted the blanket and quickly changed out of his sick clothes. Alvin was surprised and asked, “Mr. Jones-Sharp, what are you doing?”
“I’m going to find her.”
“No, you’re not fully recovered yet, and the doctor has instructed you to be sure to rest. So don’t worry about finding your wife, just leave it to me.”
“I’m already fine.”
Kevin insisted on getting out of the hospital. Alvin saw that he already made up his mind, so he didn’t stop him. They drove to the traffic enforcement team, played the CCTV footage of the area around Simon Road in the south of the city that night, and quickly found a white van with the last digits of a number 7738. The smiling Bella was tugged into the car.
