Chapter 95
At a convenience store by the intersection, Madelyn spent two hundred dollars just to use the lady boss’s identity card to purchase a ticket to Lorville.
It would take 16 hours by bus to get there and was quite the journey, but fortunately, that was the last ticket for the bus tonight and the only downside was the late departure, leaving only at 8:30 in the evening.
Madelyn had to wait another hour to get on the bus to the West Station, and it would be just the right time when she arrived there.
Yet just at that moment, a boom of thunder could be heard in the horizon, followed by flashes
of lightning.
The lady boss looked worriedly. “Girl, it’s going to rain buckets soon. How about you go tomorrow instead? It’s already so late, and I bet the bus to West Station will be delayed as well.
Madelyn bit her lips and said somewhat worriedly, “Ma’am, do you have a way to send me over there? I can pay you some more money.”
No way! It’ll take two hours just to send you there. Also, it’ll be a big downpour soon, and the
roads won’t be safe.”
“How about 1 give you another hundred?”
The lady boss’ eyes lit up but she quickly put on a rueful look. “No, no, a life for a hundred is…”
“Two hundred, if you really can’t do it, then I’ll just look for someone else.”
The lady boss quickly grabbed the two hundred and stuffed it into her pocket. “Just wait, I’ll call my husband to send you over.”
“Thank you,” Madelyn replied.
Soon, the boss came with a borrowed van.
The lady boss carried Madelyn’s bag and said, “Girl, you have to be careful, going somewhere so far. Make sure you don’t get yourself kidnapped. You’re so pretty and those kidnappers are specifically after young, vulnerable girls like you.”
Madelyn saw the lady boss’ gaze and caught something inexplicable in it.
Just as she was about to take her luggage from the lady boss, she saw the boss on the driver seat letting out a smirk.
Madelyn noticed something was not right and through the van’s window, she saw someone. else inside the van.
“Hey, girl, what are you standing there for? Get in the van, stop wasting time.”
Madelyn then said calmly, “Wait, I left something at your shop, I’ll go grab it.”
“Get into the van first. I’ll help you take it.” The lady boss said as she tried to get Madelyn into
the van.
“It’s just on the fridge right there.”
Just as the lady boss turned around to look for the item, Madelyn took the opportunity and fled toward Mr. Massey’s restaurant.
The lady boss took a glance and saw nothing there, and when she turned back around, Madelyn had already run away.
“Shit! That brat got away! After her!” she yelled.
“What?!”
Rogan had originally just wanted to sit and wait for the prey to fall into his lap, but who could have guessed that the girl would be sharp enough to see through the ploy?
Earlier on, Rogan had fainted by the stairwell, and it was Mrs. Paul who found her son
bleeding on the forehead as she screamed for people to send him to the clinic.
The moment he had gotten out of the clinic, Rogan had looked for Madelyn all over town to settle his score with her.
The van quickly turned around and chased after her. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Madelyn desperately ran with every bit of her strength she could muster.
A crack of thunder rang from above and the lightning shone a light on her fearful face.
Rain soon came pouring down in heavy sheets.
Ice-cold raindrops fell on her, seeping through her clothes. The rain came suddenly and under the dim streetlights, the truck’s high beam behind her looked like a ravenous beast chasing
after her.
The rainwater quickly accumulated into puddles on the ground as Madelyn stumbled into an uneven pothole and fell straight onto the pavement.
