"This girl is really energetic. How about playing with us?" Two men on guard were seen entering the room carrying a taser as they slowly walked closer to Anya.

Their faces looked so disgusting, making Anya scared to death.

​​

"Don't touch her. Don't you guys want money? My family will give it. Let her go!" Aiden immediately protected Anya and protected her behind his back.

Even if he didn't know this girl, he wouldn't let them do anything to her.

Anya's hand gripped Aiden's shirt tightly, shaking while hiding behind his back. She did not dare to take a single look.

"Get away!" One of them pulled out his taser and about to use it on Aiden.

Aiden immediately hit the man's hand and tried to grab the taser. Even though his hands were slightly electrocuted, he could still hit the man hard.

The other man immediately attacked Aiden from the side, but Aiden managed to avoid him.

Aiden kicked and fought the man with the taser, knocking him to the floor until he was unable to move. However, the other one immediately arrested Anya and threatened him. His big hand gripped Anya's small neck, as if he wanted to crush her. "Let him go or I'll kill this girl!"

"Just kill her. I don't know the girl. I don't have to save her!" Aiden turned and continued running toward the door.

However, he didn't know that there were not only two people on guard there, but three…

"Be careful behind you!" Anya saw another man appear behind Aiden. However, her warning was too late. The man had hit Aiden hard on the back.

Since Aiden was tall, the man was unable to hit his head. The blow landed on Aiden's shoulder instead, but he still fell because of the sudden attack.

The three people immediately beat Aiden to a pulp.

Fighting against three people at once, Aiden couldn't do anything about it.

In addition, he was suddenly attacked and didn't have the slightest chance to retaliate.

"Don't hit again. If you kill him, you can't get the money!" Anya shouted, trying to save Aiden.

Even though Aiden wanted to leave her, Anya understood that Aiden was not responsible for saving her.

In addition, if Aiden managed to escape, he could call the police and ask someone to save her. That way, they'd have a better survival chance.

"Don't you dare run away again!" The three men threw Aiden to the floor and locked the door again.

Anya immediately ran over to Aiden and checked his breath.

Aiden was still breathing. He wasn't dead.

Anya immediately took a water bottle left by the guards and gave it to Aiden.

Aiden coughed a few times and then woke up. However, the first sentence he asked was, "Are you okay?"

Anya felt so sorry. Her screams didn't help, she made them hurt her and Aiden instead. If only she hadn't shouted, Aiden wouldn't have been beaten up like this.

"I am fine. Thank you," said Anya.

Aiden looked at the stupid girl coldly, not saying a word.

At the moment, he could only feel his entire body aching.

They were both locked for three nights with only a bottle of drinking water and one bread.

There was no news from the Atmajaya Family.

"Aiden, I'm really scared. Are we going to die?" Anya had been confined in that place for four days. She felt so scared until she was not mentally strong anymore.

Aiden saw Anya's face and felt even more displeased. That face was very similar to Keara's.

But Anya was so young and didn't do anything wrong.

Why should he blame this girl just because her face resembled Keara's?

"Don't be afraid. I'll get you out of here," said Aiden in a weak voice.

"What is wrong with you?" Anya realized something was wrong with Aiden.

"I'm cold," Aiden looked helpless.

Anya panicked and reached out to touch Aiden's forehead. She used her other hand to touch her own forehead, "You have a fever!

"It's cold..." Aiden's body was trembling as he shivered.

Anya immediately looked for anything that could warm him. In the end, she could only use cardboard to cover Aiden.

But the cardboard still wasn't enough to warm him.

Anya didn't know what to do. She was afraid to scream and ask the kidnappers for help. But she couldn't just leave Aiden…

"Is there anyone outside? Please, he has a fever and is dying. Please help him!" Anya banged on the door for help.

"Shut up! I already asked the Atmajaya Family for a ransom, but three days passed and they still didn't give it. If the Atmajaya Family doesn't send the money as fast as possible, I will kill you!" One the men shouted from outside.

Anya cried hearing this. The Atmajaya family did not give Aiden any ransom and her own mother had no money to save them.

Maybe they really would die there…

Seeing Aiden trembling with cold, Anya was worried that he would really die. The more she tried to rack her brain, the more panicked she felt.

"All of this is my fault. You were hurt because you protected me," Anya took off the sweater she was wearing and wanted to put it on Aiden. However, Aiden was too big and her clothes were too small.

To keep Aiden warm, she wrapped the sweater around Aiden's neck.

Anya laid beside him and hugged him tightly, trying to keep Aiden warm with her body. But Aiden was still shaking.

Aiden was injured. He had a fever and chills. His wound might've been infected.

Aiden's teeth cracked and his lips turned pale. He couldn't even eat or drink.

Anya didn't want him to die.

If Aiden was there, at least she wouldn't be alone.

If Aiden died, she would lose her last hope.

Aiden began to lose consciousness. No matter how loud Anya yelled, he didn't respond.

"Aiden, you can't die. You've promised to help me out of here. You have to keep your promise!" Anya shouted.

From outside the door, one of the guards banged hard on the door and shouted, "Don't be noisy! Shut up! I will really kill you if you disturb my sleep!"

Anya bit her lower lip. She didn't dare to scream anymore and could only cry silently.

Finally, she turned off the dim light in the room and took off her clothes. She took off every button of Aiden's shirt and hugged him tightly.

On a dark night, their skin touched as they tried to keep each other warm.

Aiden woke up the next morning seeing that the room was very dark as soon as he opened his eyes.

From the sidelines of the door, a faint light could be seen, but that light alone was not enough to see through the darkness.

Why did the lights go out?

As he was about to move, he felt something soft lying on his chest.

He stretched out his hand and touched Anya's smooth shoulder.

Why didn't this girl wear any clothes?

After that, Aiden felt panic when he felt something wrapped around his neck.

He immediately pushed Anya's body aside, got up and intended to turn on the light.

"Don't turn on the light!" Anya shouted in surprise.

But unfortunately, Aiden's hand moved to press the light's switch.

In an instant, the room became bright.
