Chapter 353
Steven followed Scarlett to the villa entrance, his pace urgent. Without hesitation, he banged on the door with
enough force to rattle it. The sman who had earlier barred Scarlett from entering reappeared, trying to stop
them again, but Steven wasn't the type to back down easily.
Steven shoved the door open, and as if on cue, three or four men stepped out of the sleek black car parked
nearby and approached the villa guards. Within moments, the guards were overpowered and left sprawled on
the ground.
Just as the last of the guards fell, another car-a black Porsche Cayenne- screeched to a halt in front of the villa,
its presence commanding attention. Zachary stepped out, his expression dark and furious. Behind him, two black
SUVS followed, carrying a dozen men in sharp suits. They filed out and fell into step behind Zachary as he
stormed into the villa.
Steven, catching sight of Zachary's demeanor, immediately understood the gravity of his anger. "Sarah is on the
second floor," he informed him quickly.
Scarlett, her voice breaking with panic, cried out, "Hurry! Sarah is surrounded by several men! That lunatic said
there are six cameras in the room!"
Zachary's expression grew even colder. He didn't need Scarlett to elaborate; he knew exactly what she meant.
Inside the room.
Sarah gasped for air, her breaths uneven and filled with despair. She swung the knife in her hand with all her
might, trying to fend off the men closing in on her. But she was running out of strength. It didn't take long before
the knife was wrested from her grip.
"Get away! All of you, get away from me!" she screamed, her voice hoarse with desperation.
A tear slid down Sarah's cheek as a flood of memories washed over her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe recalled a twhen she had been trapped in an abandoned factory, surrounded by men. Their eyes had
burned into her, filled with predatory hunger. Every sound, every sensation, had seemed amplified as if her body
were betraying her by heightening her awareness of their leers.
The memory shifted. She was now in a stark, empty room. Her body was exposed, vulnerable under the glaring
lights. The white walls seemed to sprout hundreds of eyes, all of them fixed on her. Their gaze was filled with a
raw, unsettling desire, their bloodshot eyes mirroring her helplessness.
Then cthe blood-thick and vivid, staining her memories like an indelible mark. The crimson hues began to
expand, filling every corner of her mind until all she could see was red.
Sarah clutched her head in both hands, as if trying to shield herself from the onslaught of horrific images. With a
jolt, she snapped back to reality, her breathing ragged. She tried to calm herself, but the fear only tightened its
grip.
The men in the room were closing in on her. Her panic surged as they drew closer. And then-
BAM!
A deafening crash shattered the suffocating silence. Someone had kicked the door open with enough force to
shake the room.
For Sarah, the sound exploded in her mind like a thunderclap, and the world
around her seemed to erupt into chaos. The overwhelming red in her mind grew brighter, threatening to
consher entirely.
"Sarah!"
Who was calling her? She sluggishly turned her head toward the door.
It was... Zachary.
In that moment, the weight of the world seemed to crash down on her. Sarah felt a splitting pain in her head and
collapsed onto the floor, slipping into unconsciousness.
Before everything went black, she vaguely heard voices calling her name.
"Sarah!"
"Sasa!"

The scene was chaotic. Guards were sprawled unconscious on the ground. Steven had Mr. Luther pinned to the
floor, his knee pressing down to keep him restrained.
And then there was Zachary, stepping out of the villa with Sarah cradled in his arms.
"How is she? What happened?" James's anxious gaze darted toward Sarah, worry etched across his face.

Her tone was uneasy. After all, it was Scarlett who had called James for help earlier, only because she hadn't
been able to reach Zachary at the time.

At the hospital, Sarah was rushed into the emergency room.
Zachary hesitated briefly before calling Melvin. After all, Melvin was Sarah's family, and he had a right to know.
Meanwhile, Scarlett stood to the side, quietly sobbing. "This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, Sarah would
never have gone to the Luthers'."
