Chapter 9
Itai Brown also seized the opportunity to officially announce our wedding date.
I thought everything was finally over. But on our wedding day, I was suddenly kidnapped.
I looked around at the abandoned warehouse, and my heart sank with fear.
Leela Miller stood there with several barrels of gasoline. She kicked one over, and gasoline immediately spread across the floor.
“Leela, what are you doing? Kidnapping and murder are both criminal offenses.”
ja didn’t seem to care. She sneered, grabbed my chin, and sized me up.
Leila Hall, you were always just my substitute. Why does Piotr like you? He’s even willing to divorce me for you.”
“Without him, you still have Itai. Is it because you were born into the Hall family? Why is your life so lucky?”
I stared at Leela’s crazed expression and coldly responded:
“Leela, do you really love Piotr? Or were you just using his love for your own gain? if you truly loved him, you wouldn’t have left him for fifty million.”
beela slapped my face.
“What do you know? Even if I hadn’t broken up with him, Piotr’s family would never have accepted me.”
“I took the money when Piotr loved me the most, left, and planned to return after a few years. Losing and then regaining will make Piotr cherish me more. I just didn’t expect you to appear and ruin everything.”
I endured the pain on my face.
“So, you’re going to kill me for Piotr, ruining your own life in the process?”
Leela took a lighter, set it alight, and tossed it on the floor.
“My He is already ruined, so if I die, I’ll drag you down with me and make Piotr regret it for the rest of his life.”
Asthe fire touched the gasoline, it flared up immediately.
Leela laughed maniacally.
Suddenly, the warehouse door was kicked open. Someone rushed in, picked me up, and started running.
It was Itai Brown Leela tried to stop him, but was kicked aside.
Just as we were about to exit the warehouse, a loud explosion shook the sky.
I froze, realizing how close I had come to not making it out.
I spent several days in the hospital. From the police, I learned that my ring had a tracking device, which was how Itai found me in time.
Leela’s madness stemmed from the huge gambling debt she had incurred overseas. She returned, hoping to get more money from Piotr, but when Piotr proposed a divorce, her hopes were dashed. ”
“Unable to pay her debts, the people she owed overseas wouldn’t let her go, and she planned to destroy everything.
After I was discharged, Itai arranged a second, grand wedding for us.
Grandpa held my hand and sent me off.
As we faced the guests from the Brown family, Piotr Brown looked at me indifferently.
“You look beautiful in your wedding dress.”
