Chapter 20

left. Without knowing how much time had passed, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Stella had a bad feeling about it. Sure enough, she was abruptly picked up from the floor and dragged outside in a rough manner. She opened her eyes out of reflex and grunted, holding back the tears that had welled up in her eyes. The man spat when he realized she was already awake. He said impatiently, “Walk on your own if you’re already awake!” Stella took a deep breath. She kept quiet and nodded shakily. She had to stay calm. She must survive. She just had to tell Weston when he comes over later that this was all Guinevere’s plan, then she could be saved. She was being ushered out. Once they left the tiny house, Stella realized they were on top of a large building. The dazzling sun was so bright that she couldn’t open her eyes. The sudden roar of propellers from above rattled her eardrums painfully. A few helicopters were circling the building, and Weston was inside one of them. She had wanted to look up, but the burly man beside her gripped the back of her neck and barked, “Stay still!” Stella gritted her and lowered her head obediently. She must stay calm, she must stay calm… She repeatedly chanted to herself on the inside that she must survive, she must survive… The wind raged. She staggered forward, being dragged on by the kidnapper. The strong wind messed up her long hair, causing it to stick to her thin and pale face.
