WantNovelChapter 447
Mia tried to dodge, but the man's sharp gaze locked onto her like a predator. "Don't run," he sneered. "Let me
take good care of you."
Her heartbeat pounded violently, her breath hitching in terror.
Before she could react, another figure appeared behind her.
A cloth was pressed tightly over her nose and mouth.
A sickly sweet, chemical scent flooded her senses-ether.
Within seconds, darkness consumed her.
The Grand Lyric Theater - Back Entrance
The heavy wooden doors creaked open as a man carried a large burlap sack over his shoulder and loaded it into
a van.
Inside, the sounds of the opera continued uninterrupted.
The actress's haunting voice rang out again, her song rising above the frantic percussion, filling the grand hall
with tragic beauty.
The van cut through the bustling streets, passing by the towering Reynolds Corporation headquarters before
heading straight toward Adams University.
But instead of stopping at the university gates, the vehicle pulled into a hotel parking lot across the street.
The doors swung open, and the man carried the sack into the building's underground storage area.
Mia woke up with a sharp inhale.
Her wrists and ankles were bound tightly to a chair, the rough rope cutting into her skin as she struggled.

Something about him felt familiar.
The filthy cloth stuffed in her mouth was yanked out. She coughed, her throat dry and raw.
"Who are you? Why did you take me? Do you even know who my brother is? Letgo now!"
The man chuckled. "Why is it that the first thing people say when they get kidnapped is always spointless
threat? You know you're not getting out of this, yet you still waste your breath demanding to be let go."
Mia's face turned pale.
He wasn't physically intimidating his features were clean and well-groomed, and his voice was eerily gentle.
But his left eye bore a deep, jagged scar that twisted across his face.
It was ugly. Disturbing.
And it sent a strange chill down her spine.
She had never met him before... yet the fear clawing at her insides felt instinctive.
Her voice trembled. "What do you want? I'm from the Reynolds family. My brother is Zachary Reynolds."
The man let out a quiet, mocking laugh. "Trying to scare me?"
He stepped closer, his tone casual. "Do you think we kidnapped you without knowing exactly who you are? We
know everything about you."
Mia's thoughts raced.
The message...
The one from her grandfather, telling her to meet him at the opera house.
But he was never there.
And then she was taken.
Was the message part of the trap?
From the very beginning, someone had been setting her up.
But who?
The man didn't answer Mia's question. Instead, he smirked, his expression full of amusement.
"Do you want to know the real reason behind your mental illness?"
Mia's heart skipped a beat.
"What?"
Before she could process his words, the door swung open again.
Two men entered, dragging a woman with them. They tossed her onto the cold
floor like a discarded rag.
She was trembling violently, her tear-streaked face filled with terror.
"Please... letgo! I'm begging you!" she sobbed.
But her captors weren't listening.
They didn't care about her pleas.
If anything, the man in front of Mia

up with a sick kind of excitement.
He chuckled and waved his hand.
One of his men stepped forward and handed him a knife.
The blade gleamed under the dim light-sharp, cold, merciless.
Mia's breath caught in her throat. What were they about to do?
Why was her entire body trembling uncontrollably?
This wasn't a simple kidnapping.
They weren't after money.
She looked in fear as the man plunged the knife into the woman's body.
A bloodcurdling scream ripped through the air.
