Return of the Crowned Heiress 26
Felicia couldn’t believe that the girl had helped her from getting captured.
Once it was safe, the girl confined by the villagers sighed in relief and called softly, “Hey, they’re gone! You can come out now!”
Felicia emerged from the hay, looking disheveled. With the gang of criminals moving in another direction, it was the perfect opportunity for her to escape!
As she prepared to run, the girl suddenly dropped to her knees, desperation brimming in her eyes. “Please help me! Take me with you!
“I was sold here and have been trapped for six months. You’re the only person I’ve seen that isn’t a villager for the past 6 months! This place is hell, and these people are monsters! If I stay here, I’ll die!”
Tears streamed down her face, filled with hope and despair. “Please… save me…
Felicia wanted to help, but she felt powerless.
The door was locked, and breaking it would create a loud noise. Besides, the girl was chained and wouldn’t be able to escape even if freed!
“I promise I’ll come back for you! Just wait for me! Felicia said before sprinting toward the village exit. She needed to get help or call the authorities–only then could she save the girl!
But after running a few steps, the girl’s tearful cries and desperate eyes haunted her thoughts.
The villagers had mentioned that a new buyer would come in the morning to take the girl away. After that, no one would be able to rescue her.
Felicia stopped. She bit her lip and turned back.
On her way back, she found a sturdy rock and started banging on the lock of the door with all her might.
Inside the cramped room, the girl had been crying in despair until she heard the commotion. When she looked up and saw Felicia, hope reignited in her eyes.
After a series of blows, the door finally swung open!
The girl slowly inched her way out, her movement restricted by the chains around her feet. But the sound of Felicia banging on the door had already spread–the criminal gang and the villagers were all rushing back.
“There’s no time!” Felicia dropped the rock and nearly dragged the girl to a nearby trike motorcycle.
By some miracle, the keys were still in the ignition!
The girl’s eyes lit up. “I can drive! Let me do it!”
“Okay,” Felicia replied as she climbed onto the back seat.
The girl twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle shot forward at top speed, leaving the villagers and criminals far behind.
There was no way they could outrun a trike motorcycle on foot.
The girl, who had attempted to escape many times before, exclaimed, “I know another way out of the village! We can make it!”
But sometimes, the odds might not be in one’s favor.
Just as they began to relax, disaster struck. The motorcycle hit a dip in the road and became lodged on a large rock! Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
No matter how hard they twisted the throttle, it wouldn’t budge!
The girl panicked. “What do we do?”
They were running out of time; the villagers and gang of criminals were closing in.
Felicia jumped off the motorcycle and tried with all her might to move the rock. The distance between them shrank as they got closer and closer.
The girl cried in desperation, “We gotta hurry! Please!!
Finally, Felicia managed to shove the rock aside.
“Got it!”
Just as she was about to jump back onto the motorcycle, she fell short. In the darkness, the motorcycle had revved up, racing off into the night, leaving Felicia behind.
