Chapter 423

The fire in the room had been put out, and Maja was curled up in a corner, her bonds untied and the gag removed from her mouth.

Just moments ago, a lick of flame threatened to engulf her, but she was yanked away just in time.

When the bag over her head was taken off, she saw the cleaner, who was supposed to be at the office.
