Chapter 289
Chapter 289
Natasha drove the car with a frosty expression.
There was an uncontrollable fury hidden beneath her eyes that looked as calm as a pool of water.
Thea sat in the backseat with her limbs tied together. She was the perfect example of what a kidnap victim would look like. No matter how much she struggled, she could not move an inch.
However, Natasha did not seal Thea's mouth.
Hence, Thea could be heard panicking throughout the journey. “Natasha, where are you taking me? Speak up! Where are you taking me? Do you know this is called kidnapping? Let me go, Natasha!
What the hell do you want?”
Thea was on the verge of breaking down.
“Tell you what, Natasha. You brought me out of the bar. You won't be able to get out of this if something happens to me. Do you hear what I'm saying? Natasha! Ah!” Thea yelled.
No matter what Thea said in the backseat, Natasha drove in a deadpan manner like a robot.
Finally, Thea lost control over her emotions and shouted, “Natasha, you're mad! You're mental! You know what? I'll definitely get the police to arrest you!”
Her words finally caught Natasha's attention, and she looked at Thea through the rearview mirror.
Noticing Natasha's reaction, Thea thought her words were working and continued, “If you let me go now, I can consider not looking into this matter and pretend as if it never happened.”
Thea named her condition confidently, wanting to negotiate with Natasha.
Yet, Natasha merely curled her lips into a smirk and drove faster.
Thea frowned when Natasha did not respond. “Natasha, what's the meaning of this? Can't you say something? Are you mute? Oh, for goodness' sake, say something, Natasha!”
Thea was so annoyed that she cursed, but Natasha continued driving calmly, completely unbothered by her words.
Seeing the process of Thea slowly having a mental breakdown was the very reason Natasha kept her mouth shut.
She wanted to see Thea lose her mind.
After all, the idea of facing the unknown was the scariest and most torturous feeling for a human.
Just then, Natasha's phone rang.
She hesitated to answer it when she realized it was from Kenneth.
However, the phone kept ringing until Natasha finally answered it. She put it on speaker mode.
As soon as the call was connected, Kenneth asked without beating around the bush, “Nat, where are you?
“In the car.”
“Of course, I know you're in the car. Where are you taking her?”
Natasha did not answer.
Kenneth sounded slightly anxious. “Nat, tell me your current location. I'll go there right now. No matter what happens, let me face it with you.”
“No. I can handle this myself.”
“Nat!”
“Kenneth...” Natasha suddenly spoke, but she fell silent after hesitating for several seconds.
“What's wrong?”
“Forget it. It's nothing,” replied Natasha.
“Nat, where on earth are you taking her?”
“Tell Denise to wait for me to return!”
The moment Natasha was about to hang up after saying that, Thea yelled toward the phone, “Kenneth, help me! Natasha's gone crazy! I don't know what she's going to do to me! Kenneth, please help me!”
Instead of hanging up, Natasha gave Thea a few seconds to call out for help upon hearing her speak.
“Kenneth, if something happens to me, it's Natasha who did it!”
“Are you done?” Natasha asked.
Thea glared at Natasha and continued yelling, “This woman is wicked! I'm sure she's going to do something to me. Kenneth, you have to see her true colors even if it means sacrificing my life!”
Kenneth heard every word Thea said loud and clear.
“Where is your current location?” Kenneth asked.
Hearing a reply, Thea looked out the window. “I-I'm not sure where we are. I think it's—”
Before she could finish, Natasha ended the call.
Thea froze as if her last glimmer of hope had been crushed. She glared at Natasha and scolded, “Natasha Watson! What the hell are you trying to do? I'm warning you. You won't get away with it if I die. I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you!”
Natasha raised her head and stared at the woman, who was on the verge of losing her mind. “You want to become a ghost?” “Huh?” Thea was stunned, for that was
the first sentence Natasha had said to her ever since they entered the car. “What do you mean?”
To her dismay, Natasha sealed her lips again.
Frustrated, Thea spat out a string of curses.
Soon, the car pulled up beside the river.
Staring at the infinite blue sky, Natasha pushed the door open and got out of the car. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
When Thea saw Natasha getting out of the car, she immediately asked, “Where are you going?”
Natasha glanced at her but said nothing.
After getting out of the car, Natasha walked to the side of the river, looked at the scenery, and found a spot to sit down. Her eyes glinted when she spotted a speedboat sailing on the river not too far away.
She then walked to another spot, while Thea, who was in the car, watched Natasha's every move.
Thea was still clueless about Natasha's plan.
As Thea continued watching Natasha, Natasha slowly disappeared into her blind spot.
Thea began to panic when she lost sight of Natasha. I have to find a way to get out of here.
Hence, she started to struggle, wanting to break free from the ropes. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the ropes did not loosen.
She struggled so hard that the ropes left red marks on her body.
Just as she was about to lose her mind, she suddenly spotted Natasha's phone in the car. That was when Thea knew the phone was her only chance of getting out of there.
With that thought in her mind, Thea slowly made her way toward the phone. No matter how hard it was for her to move with her limbs tied up, there was still hope as long as she could move little by little.
When she was close to the phone, she flipped herself around and used her arms that were tied behind her back to reach for the device.
I'm almost there. Almost there!
Right before she was about to touch it, the door suddenly opened.
Thea was caught by surprise that she accidentally knocked the phone to the ground.
Only the heavens knew how hopeless Thea felt at that moment.
Natasha eyed Thea calmly. “Stop wasting your energy. You won't be able to use the phone even if you get it.”
Thea furrowed her brows. “What do you mean?
Ignoring her question, Natasha stretched out her hand and pulled Thea out of the car.
“What are you doing? Let go of me! Natasha, what are you trying to do?” Thea shrieked as she was being pulled out of the car.
