Chapter 83: Death Of His Embrace
That voice....
Samantha could swear she remembers hearing a voice like that from somewhere, but it wasn’t the type of voice that brought peace to her heart, it was the type of voice that sent the hairs on her skin standing at attention, the type that sent her heart beating with dread, and when she dared to turn her head to confirm her suspicions, her face dramatically paled like she had tumbled on the forbidden, and she stumbled back in shock.
There were four of them that emerged from a corner, the caretaker, whom she remembered to be Officer Regan, and the remaining three who were workers in the slave establishment she was held in. Their gaunt faces, their heavy breathing, and the tiredness in their eyes proved they were on the run, but after sighting her, a look of amusement flashed within their irises.
These men were slave traders.

"You’ve grown so much, little one, your buyer must be treating you well for you to have turned out this beautiful. But what are you doing here by yourself? Ahh... I forgot how ending up in places you shouldn’t be in have turned out to be your number one hubby." His commentary made the rest of his men laugh mockingly, sending countless chills down her spine.
"Where’s.... Where’s my brother? Where did you take him?!!" Ignoring his impish remarks, Samantha demanded despite being frightened to the core. These men, just staring at their ugly revolting faces, brought back memories of how much they made her suffer in the slave establishment. She could see her hands trembling under the tremor of their immoral gaze, but this time around, she wasn’t prompted to flee because she needed to get answers concerning her brother.
Her only family.
"What did you do to my brother?!" She demanded in a desperate tone when they just kept staring. "Where did you take him?!"
