The kidnappers sprinted towards her, knives in hand. Cornered, Debbie clenched her jaw and shouted at the man who was about to rape Sasha,

"Wait!"

Each man stopped in his tracks, surrounding Debbie without attacking her. The bare-chested man had already taken off his trousers, and was getting ready to cut Sasha's clothing off. In an unhappy voice, he roared, “What now? If you won't sign that paper, then don't bug me!”

. I'LL sign it..." Covering her aching belly and looking at Sasha's desperate eyes, Debbie surrendered. What else could she do?

She picked up the piece of paper from the ground. Tears sprang to her eyes as she read it in her mind again and again, until she couldn't bear to even look at it anymore. Gripping the paper tightly, she was unable to lift a finger to sign it.

The kidnappers were impatient. They shouted at her rudely to sign the thing. Finally, with trembling hand, Debbie signed her name and left a fingerprint on it.

Satisfied, the man donned his clothes again and told Debbie in a sarcastic voice, "So, for signing that you get to come to the funeral.

It's in the cemetery in the suburbs, day after tomorrow. After that, get lost! Never come back to Alorith, or else." Debbie remained silent.

Frustrated, she clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms. Never would she forget this day. The darkest hour. The saddest heart. She swore that James would be her enemy forever. Someday, she'd get her revenge. The Lead kidnapper looked at Sasha.

"Hey, too bad we didn't get to know each other. You ever need a date, look me up." She looked horrified, but he just grinned. Then he winked lewdly, and then went to help the others pack up.

By the time the police arrived, the kidnappers had already escaped.

Before they ran away, they also tied Debbie up too, just in case.

Sebastian and Lucinda heaved a deep sigh of relief when they saw the two girls safe and sound.

Then, they were taken to the police station to give their accounts.

On their way there, everyone all noticed something was wrong with

Debbie. It seemed Like all the life was sucked from her.

Sasha didn't know anything about the paper that Debbie signed. She asked her several times, yet got no reply.

Even at the police station, Debbie still wasn't able to answer the officer's questions properly. In the end, the police had no choice but to let them go home.

Debbie's mental state worried Lucinda. She wanted to take Debbie to the

Murphy family's residence, but the depressed girl refused.

“Hey, listen. Everyone's looking for you. You don't know friend from foe, and you're pregnant. Come with me, okay?" Lucinda argued as she held Debbie's hand, stopping her from getting out of the car.

With glazed eyes, Debbie looked at her aunt and said, "I'll be careful,

Aunt Lucinda. I have something to do right now. I'll be there later on."

Unable to persuade her, Lucinda conceded and let her get out of the car.

Watching the car drive away, Debbie took out her phone and opened
