Outdoors, Rachel Wood had trouble seeing anything as it wasn’t as bright as being in big cities.She wasn’t familiar with the area, and she had no idea where to go. She continued to run forward in the darkness, completely disregarding her surroundings.Behind her, she could vaguely hear the men chasing after her, but she ignored them. She continued running despite her dizziness and feeling weak in the knees. She knew it might be her only chance of escaping after the only opportunity for her to break free presented itself.Moreover, Rachel wouldn’t want to spend the rest of her life in this mountainous village sleeping with those men.She wanted to return to Atlantis to live a normal life and grow old with Sebastian Brenand.When she thought of Sebastian, she felt the adrenaline energizing her once again.“Everybody! Quickly, get up! The b*tch ran away from our house. Come out and help us chase her down!”Rachel heard the man in his thirties shouting before the sound of doors s

If only time would go by faster, and the villagers would tire, returning home to sleep sooner. The more Rachel Wood hoped for those things to happen, the slower time seemed to pass.Every minute felt like a century until dawn finally arrived.Sounds of roosters crowing around the mountainous village were like beacons of light in the darkness that gave her hope.The entire village had grown quiet. The loud footsteps had also ceased.Rachel knew that those people had probably grown weary, with most of them already returned home.However, she was weak, cold, and hungry after lacking food and water for a long time.Her tongue felt dry, and she felt as if there were needles in her stomach.She reached for a handful of straw and began to eat to avoid collapsing from exhaustion and hindering her escape.The straw was tasteless and difficult to chew, which made it hard to swallow.Rachel didn’t care, however.With strong willpower, she believed that she could overcome any obstacle.

Rachel Wood scrambled to hide inside the cave. She knelt in front of its entrance to see her pursuers running in the opposite direction.They hadn’t realized she had gone uphill.She released a long sigh as she sat in front of the cave’s entrance to catch her breath.The others were still running.The road split into two at the bottom of the hill, with one leading to the forest while the other led to the farmland.The villagers split into two groups to head in different directions.Rachel knew that they wouldn’t find her there in a short time.She decided to wait until nightfall and figure out a way to get out of there when nobody was around.She was too exhausted now and severely dehydrated. She couldn’t run any longer.There would be nothing but doom if she fought against them now with brute force.It was pitch black and freezing in the cave, but she wasn't afraid.She had already experienced the worst thing in the world back in the house, so nothing could make her feel mo

Everyone felt sorry for Sebastian Brenand when they saw the state he was in, but none of them could do anything about it.Rachel Wood was nowhere to be found as if she had disappeared into thin air.Even Stanley Batton, who was seemingly capable of anything, couldn’t find her.The other wedding guests, who had no idea what happened, were clapping, chatting, and laughing.Meanwhile, Sebastian's inner circle of friends couldn’t even smile, knowing what went on.The bride and groom made their vows in front of the priest before quickly exchanging rings.Sebastian felt like a puppet throughout the process, wanting to flee from the wedding. However, he didn't dare oppose his parents, who still held Rachel's life in their hands.At that moment, guests in the wedding hall started applauding loudly, flowers scattering from above.It seemed very romantic.It was the wedding he had dreamed of, but the bride before him wasn’t the one he wanted to marry.He'd felt out of sorts when he put

The woman looked at Rachel Wood up and down before displaying an expression of disgust. “Why do you look like this?”Rachel immediately sniffed when she heard the question and began to share everything she had experienced.The woman instantly became enraged after hearing what happened. “That’s horrible! Let’s go, I’ll take you to the police station in Merryview City to file a report.”Rachel instantly felt relieved, regarding the woman in the car as her lifeline.Feeling hopeful again, she finally allowed her emotions to run free.Tears began streaming down her face as the car started moving.The woman stepped on the accelerator as the car moved further away from the village where Rachel had suffered.Once they arrived at Merryview City, the woman brought Rachel to the police station, where they made a police report.After explaining what happened, the police asked Rachel to stay behind while they made arrangements for a car to take her back to Atlantis.She couldn’t stop feeli
