Fear dug deeper into Dawn’s chest and her tears wouldn’t stop. She had let her guard down.
She thought being back in the neighborhood meant she was safe, but she had been wrong. Somehow, they managed to slip through and get their hands on her.
<i>Where’s </i>Ethan?
He’s <i>probably </i><i>losing </i><i>his </i><i>mind </i><i>with </i><i>worry </i><i>after </i><i>I </i><i>left </i><i>him </i><i>on </i><i>read</i><i>. </i>
Dawn forced herself to slow her breathing. She kept telling herself to stay calm. Her eyes swept the room for anything she could use, but it was empty. Nothing.
Then she heard a sound from the door.
Her head shot up and a chill ran down her spine.
The man was tall, maybe six feet, and was dressed all in ck. His jacket’s cor stood up to cover his neck. A mask, sunsses, and cap hid his face. Nothing gave him away.
“Ah, I see you’ve woken up.”
His voice was low and rough, like he had swallowed gravel. <fn4033> For original chapters go to ?ovelFind</fn4033>
Dawn’s chest rose and fell faster. She didn’t blink. She stared.
He seemed <i>to </i>like that. A softugh rolled out. “I like a girl with fight. The way you drove all reckless? It shows how stubborn you are.
“But it doesn’t help. I got you in the end.”
There was a strange regret in his voice.
Dawn’s mind raced. She thought through every connection, every friend, every enemy.
Who could want to hurt her like this? Sydney came to mind.
But Sydney… would she really hire someone to track her down all the way in Northville?
Dawn couldn’t speak. Her eyes tried to ask the question instead. What did he want?
His
eyes moved under the sunsses. He stepped forward slowly. His hand, hard and sharp at the knuckles,nded on her shoulder.

“You’re wondering why I tied you up, aren’t you?”
She made muffled noises.
“Of course, it’s for money.”
Dawn stayed silent.

He looked down at her. His gaze felt heavy, like she was a mouse under a hawk. She had no control over the situation.
After a few seconds, his rough voice cut through the quiet again.
“So… you want me to untie you?”
Dawn’s chest heaved and tears streaked her face. She nodded as fast as she could.
“That is not happening,” the man said.
Dawn didn’t answer.
He let out a long, heavy sigh, like a man beaten down by life. “I’m not afraid of anything. The only thing that scares me is noisy women. Look at you. Everything about you is fine, even cute, but
your
mouth … it’s impossible.”
He spoke slow and calm, like he was chatting with an old friend.
Dawn had never seen anyone act like this.
She swallowed hard and prayed Ethan would realize something was wrong and call the cops.
Finally, he seemed tired of talking.
He paused, then picked up his phone.
He dialed with a steady hand and spoke low and cold, “I have Dawn. Thirty million in cash or she dies.”
Dawn tried to hear who was on the other end, but the distance made it impossible. She couldn’t catch a single word.
She bit her lip and tried to inch the chair just a little.
The man ended the call almost instantly. He looked down at her, calm as ever.

A faint smirk tugged at his lips. “This is why I love rich girls. Thirty million in ransom and they agreed without question. Maybe I should’ve asked for more.”
Dawn’s eyes burned red and sweat rolled down her temples.
“Rx. If you stay put and I get the money, I won’t touch even an inch of your skin. I have rules. I like things clean.”
She wondered silently if she should thank him for his rules and cleanliness.
He said nothing more.
He produced a stool like a magician and sat a short distance from her, ncing her way from time to time.
Minutes crawled by. Dawn felt like her skin was on fire.
She had no idea what time it was.
The man answered two more calls, giving instructions for the ransom. He insisted it be delivered by a runner.
“I don’t trust any of you. Only a runner makes me feel safe. Don’t think about calling the cops. Her skin is … delicious. I’d rather not slip up and cut her pretty face.”
His fingers traced her face like snakes crawling over ss.
There was no escape. No way to dodge.
A shiver ran through Dawn from head to toe. Fear coiled around her like steel chains.
Then, just before she thought she would break, he stepped back a little, deliberately teasing her.
Dawn closed her eyes and forced herself to breathe,
He only wanted the money.
But she still didn’t understand why he had chosen her. Was it random? Or had he nned this
from the start?
