AFTER BEING KIDNAPPED
"Nng!" Catherine shuddered in dull pain. 'Why does my face hurt so much?' she wondered.
Slowly, she opened her eyes. She found herself in a dark, cold place. The floor was icy cold. The temperature made half of her body numb.
In the middle of the darkness, a bunch of firewood was burning on the ground. The fire was enough to illuminate the surroundings.
She saw several wooden boxes and nothing more. As for how big the room was, she was uncertain.
She tried to sit up when she realized that her legs were tied. Her wrists were also tied on her back.
'What? Why?' She was confused. She tried to recall what happened before she fainted. Remembering the thugs, her blood turned cold.
'I need to get out of this place before they come to kill me.' She struggled to loosen up the rope, but it was tied in such a way that there was no way she could not loosen up an inch.
