Chapter 298: Your Ring
Arabella quickly hid behind a thick trunk that was able to completely cover her shadow. She checked her phone, reading the text from Xander, asking her for her whereabouts, but she wasn’t looking at the street names while she was running.
Then the worst thing that could happen in that situation occurred. Her phone was almost out of battery.
"What? This can’t be happening right now."
She quickly fired back a text at Xander, informing him she was being followed and had no idea where she was. Then, she shared her location with him as soon as she could before her phone’s battery died.
Arabella continued to stay hidden beside the tree trunk as she watched them continue to search for her.
It was already dark, and her only source of light was their flashlight and the soft glow from the moon. They searched around everywhere to find her whereabouts.
"She ran in here, but where did she hide now?" One of the men questioned
"She must be here somewhere, just keep searching," the other encouraged.
Arabella’s heart continued to thump hard against her chest, worried they would be able to hear it if she didn’t calm down. But how was she supposed to calm down? She saw the guns in their hands and her heart sank into her stomach.
The girl finally found the courage to leave her spot else, they would find her.
However, just when she took three steps away from there, a glint of flashlight landed on her, and just then, she lost all hope.
