CHAPTER 99: Another Kidnapping

　　RUBY

　　When I opened my eyes after I didn't know how long, I was met with complete darkness. I couldn't see anything, yet I could smell the stale odour of metal nearby. As I tried to scream, I felt that there was a gag in my mouth which prevented me from making any sound from my mouth.

　　I didn’t understand the place I was stuck in. Why wasn’t I dead yet?

　　Even if I tried to remove the gag, I would never succeed because my hands were tied along with my legs. Fortunately, I was sitting in a normal wooden chair, and there was no rope around my stomach. At least, it wouldn’t harm my baby. Thank goodness my baby was still okay. I could feel him safe inside me. But until how long?

　　My back was starting to ache badly after being seated so long. I felt extremely weak too. I wanted to go back home.
