Chapter 106: Negotiate
Evelyn had been running away now, and she was out of breath. She wondered what was happening back there. Was Luca safe?
He did say there was a little bit of time before Valerio would be back. Did he manage to erase the CCTV cameras?
By her calculation, it should be almost an hour by now and Valerio should only be arriving home. And if he had, she was sure that she’d run far enough. So by the time he found out she was missing and sent men to find her, they wouldn’t be able to find her.
The thing though was that this place was isolated. She’d been running for a while now and she hadn’t seen a single soul. She was even on a bridge which was clearly meant for cars, yet no one was driving by or even walking by.
What was going on and where in the world was she?
Who was she supposed to find in this deserted place that might even have a phone?
Walking over to the railings, she looked down, pausing at the sea beneath.
"What the...?" Where in the world was this place? She hasn’t even seen a single sign that might just give her a clue about where she was.
Evelyn wanted to scream for help. But she knew better than to do that. If Valerio had possibly already sent someone after her, screaming was basically the same as asking them to come find her right where she was. So she kept silent.
Dragging her fingers through her hair in frustration, she looked out furiously, searching for anyone, anyone at all that might be able to—
"Hello? Are you lost?"
The male voice made her freeze, fear rushing through her body.
