Love After Seeing Through the Lies

"Hey, sweetheart, how much for your services? Is that what’s in your suitcase, your gear?" he sneered. "Why don’t we grab some late-night snacks together?"

The news of taxi victims being killed in the middle of the night flashed back and forth in my mind. I was just about to pretend to assure my family that I was safe when the car turned a corner and headed for a dead end.

My hands were shaking so much that I could hardly hold the phone. I hurriedly pressed the power button several times to call the emergency contact. But the call was hung up as soon as I made it out. Chris probably thought I was asking him to get back together and was deliberately trying to intimidate me.

As the car drove to the innermost end of the alley, the driver began to brake. I quickly unfastened the safety buckle, opened the door and rushed out.

My body, which had been tired for a day, began to lose strength at this time. As soon as I rushed out of the car, my eyes suddenly went black and my legs went weak and fell to the ground.

The driver got out of the car. He was anxious to chase me, but when he saw me like this, he smiled even more obscenely, "What’s this, playing hard to get? Or do you like it out in the open?"

I didn’t know where a burst of strength came from my body and I picked up a stone from my side and threw it over. The stone hit the driver's lower body hard and he screamed in pain and squatted on the spot, holding his crotch. I got up in a panic and ran.

At this time, the call that had been dialing in the mobile phone was finally connected.

“Maggie, if you are here to make peace...”

I interrupted him while running, “Chris, save me, No. 13, XX Road, quickly! Call the police! Quick!“

“What? Don't panic. You find a place to hide, I will call the police immediately!”

After saying this, the mobile phone was completely turned off.

I quickly crawled into a trash can and hid. The driver walked towards this side with heavy steps.

“Humph, dare to hit me. Wait till I catch you. I’ll make sure you pay, you b***h!"

I trembled in the trash can, praying that Chris and the police would come quickly. The trash cans next to me were opened and closed one by one and my heart almost jumped to my throat. I looked up suddenly and the driver was staring at me viciously.

“Found you! Bitch!” He grabbed my collar and dragged me out.

I was suffocated and tried to pull his hands weakly. I was desperate. My ears started to buzz and my brain started to feel dizzy.

A flashlight came over, “Who's there?”

The driver covered my mouth fiercely and tried to drag me to the car.

I bit him hard and shouted with all my strength, “Help... Help... Ugh”

“Stop!”

The man with the flashlight ran over here.

The driver quickly put me down and ran towards the narrow alley. The road in the alley was winding and the driver soon disappeared from sight.

I squatted there, hugged my knees and cried, my body trembling slightly because of fear. The man came over and put his down jacket on me.

“Do you want to call the police?” he asked, “If you don't want this to be known, I can pretend that I know nothing.”

I shook my head, “I want to call the police. Not to mention that I was not hurt, even if I was... I can't let the bad guys get away with it and look for other girls.”

After the man called the police, the police arrived at the scene quickly. It was only then that I realized that it was only a 5-minute drive from the police station.

Then why didn't the police come after I called Chris for so long?

I was a little confused. However, this confusion did not last long.

After taking the statement, Wiliam, the man who saved me, followed me to the hospital to check the wound and get the injury assessment report.

Just when I was waiting in line, I saw Chris half-holding Sharon and walking towards me.

Seeing me, Chris pointed at my nose and started to curse, “Where have you been? I called you so many times and you didn't answer!”

“Sharon had a high fever in the middle of the night, I thought you could go to the hospital with me to take care of her, but I couldn't contact you no matter what. Why are you so narrow-minded?”

My heart completely fell into an ice cave.

“Chris, why don't you ask me why I'm here? Did you... Did you call the police for me?”

Chris was stunned, “Call the police?”

He slapped his forehead, “Look at me, I forgot! I'm sorry, Sharon had a high fever and couldn't even stand up, I rushed her to the hospital...”

“Do you know, I almost got...” I burst into tears, “Is my life not as good as Sharon's fever?”

Wiliam couldn't help but stand up from the stool, “Heh~ This is the first time I've seen such a shameless scumbag. What? Do you know, if I hadn't found out today, your girlfriend might not be standing here now, but lying here?”

“When she was strangled by someone, you were with other women and now you said you forgot? Your girlfriend's life is not as important as your friend's fever?”

See, strangers know what was more important, but Chris couldn’t see clearly.

I was completely disappointed with Chris, I took a deep breath, “Chris, Sharon, let's be well in the future and don't contact each other again.”

Chris saw my seriousness. This was the first time that Chris was at a loss in front of me. “Maggie, I... I thought you could hide for a while. I thought I would call the police for you after I came to the hospital, but... I'm sorry, I forgot. I won't do that in the future. Let's not break up, okay?”
