Chapter 4

Ketty's Pov

As Jack said last night,he would introduce me to Anne's husband.This morning,I came quickly because I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

I waited for Jack and his friend to arrive.We had promised each other to meet at the cafe near Jordy's office.

I waited five minutes,my gaze was distracted by Jack,who came with a man.He must be Anne's husband.

"Sorry for making you wait so long,Ketty.Let me introduce you to my friend.He's Maxim,Anne's husband,"said Jack,introducing his friend.

“Nice to meet you,Maxim.My name is Ketty."

"Hello,Ketty.I have heard your story from Jack.I have been looking for Anne all this time,it turns out she ran away into the arms of your ex-husband.She has deceived many men.The child is mine and Anne is already two months pregnant."

I was surprised to hear Maxim's words.I thought she was just destroying my family,but it turned out she had taken a lot of victims.I also asked Maxim to tell me more about Anne.

When Maxim told the story,I could only shake my head.Anne had deceived seven men just to take her property and said that she was pregnant.Even though she wasn't pregnant because of that man.Just like Jordy,who fell into Anne's trap.

I already had strong evidence in my hands,I would prove Anne's crime and make Jordy feel guilty.

“Maxim,can you help me?I want you to confess to my ex-husband and explain the truth!”

"Of course.Apart from working here,I plan to take Anne back to America."

"Thank you,Maxim,for wanting to help me.Also,thanks to you,Jack.If it weren't for you,I wouldn't have known this truth."

We chatted while finishing the drinks we ordered earlier.And after that,I don't want to waste any time.The three of us were going to Jordy's office,I was sure Anne would be there.

But before leaving,I asked Jack and Maxim for permission to go to the bathroom for a moment.

I walked alone while imagining how worried and afraid Anne would be if her evil plan was discovered.Especially when Anne saw her husband.

As I walked,I felt goosebumps on my neck.I even heard the sound of someone's footsteps following me.The cafe atmosphere looks quiet,because customers usually come during break times.

All my feelings were mixed.I'm scared,I'm worried,but I'm also curious.I boldly looked to see who was following me.

"No one."I looked around me,it looked very quiet and calm.

Until I felt an object hit my head.Everything I saw was spinning,my head hurts.And as time went by,my vision became blurry.

"You will die in my hands!"

I faintly heard a sound,until finally I couldn't stand it any longer and closed my eyes.

***

My eyes opened slowly while holding my aching head.I looked around me.

This place looks damp and dirty.I even smelled a strong smell.

“Why are my hands and feet tied?”I said surprised.

I had no enemies.So far,I lived peacefully.I never interfere in other people's problems.Then who has evil intentions towards me?

I remembered Jack and Maxim.Those two must be looking for me.With all my strength,I screamed for help.However,in this place it seemed like no one could hear my voice.

"Help...help...."I screamed again while trying to untie the ropes that tied my whole body.

"It's useless for you to shout,Ketty.No one will be able to hear your voice.”

I widened my eyes when I saw Anne's arrival.So the person who kidnapped me was that bitch.

"You crazy woman,let me go quickly!"

"If I let you go,I'm sure you'll take Maxim to Jordy."

I smiled,apparently the reason Anne kidnapped me was because she was afraid I would reveal lies about her.

"You fool if you kidnap me.Your lie will still be exposed.There will still be Jack and your husband."

Hearing my answer,Anne's face looked annoyed.

"No,he won't take it apart because you are here.Before I kill you,I will make you suffer,"she said,taking out a knife.

I was surprised to see a sharp object in his hand.She walked towards me with a crooked smile.Being tied means my body was locked.Even if you scream for help,it feels pointless.

Now I could only surrender when Anne plunges the knife into my body.I screamed in pain while holding back my tears so I wouldn't cry.I didn't want to be weak in front of Anne.

It turned out this woman was not only crazy,she was also a psychopath.

"How about it?Your body has become prettier,right?"she asked while looking at me.

A light dazzled my eyes,Anne apparently took my photo.

I saw blood splattered around me.I looked at my body,which was covered in scratches.

"Hahaha...I don't care about my body,Anne.Even though I'm ugly,my heart isn't as bad as yours.”

"Damn,quickly stop Maxim and Jack from telling Jordy!Or I'll make you regret it!"

At first,I didn't care what she said.Even though She stuck a knife in my arm,I'm still strong.But when she looked at my stomach,it made me speechless and weak.

"Watch out,you dare to hurt my child!"

"I won't hurt him,I just told him to leave before he feels the cruelty of this world,Ketty!Quick,tell them to stop!"she said,pointing the knife at my stomach.

I surrendered to her,she recorded me.In the video,I ordered Jack and Maxim not to reveal Anne's lies.I didn't want my unborn child to be the target of Anne's crimes.

"I'm glad you finally gave up,Ketty.But don't expect me to let you go."

I saw Anne leaving.I'm not a fool,she would definitely do the same thing again later.I couldn't just stay quiet,I had to get out of this place.

Anne's departure was my chance to try to escape.I saw a knife lying below.Shifting my body to get closer to where the knife was.I tried to pick it up and untie my rope.

And finally,I succeeded.

"Damn you,Ketty.Where are you going to run away?"said Anne,who had returned.

I looked at Anne in panic,I had just managed to escape.However,the bitch came back.

"If you dare approach me,then I will kill you,Anne!"I threatened while holding the knife.

The knife I used to open the knot earlier.And now it's my weapon.

"Give me back my knife,Ketty.Don't threaten me,I know you won't dare do that.Unlike me,quickly return the knife or you'll regret it!"

I saw Anne's face,which was frightened by my threat."No,you think I'm that weak.I dare to kill you,after all,it's to protect myself."

Anne walked towards me and I still faithfully pointed the knife at her.I have to stay strong and brave to fight it.Because I don't want my life to end just because of this bitch.

"Back off,Anne,or I'll kill you!"

"Just try it,Ketty!"said Anne with a sharp gaze.
