Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 528

"The boss gave us the green light to have some fun, but we can't be too rough. We can't kill her. Hurry up and get the camera rolling, and make sure you get every detail!"

Hearing their filthy words, Sienna wanted to scream curses at them, but with the gag in her mouth, all she could manage were muffled, furious grunts.

Barney 'Pudge' Potts chuckled darkly. He stepped forward, yanking the rag out of her mouth before quickly untying the thick ropes binding her ankles.

Sienna's legs had been bound for so long they were numb and stiff. The moment they were freed, they gave out beneath her. She gripped the back of the chair to steady herself, looking up at Slim and the other two men. Her gaze wasn't entirely calm, but it didn't hold the intoxicating terror they were hoping for, either.

She knew she couldn't afford to panic right now.

If she showed even a sliver of fear, these men would pounce on her like starving wolves and tear her apart.

Slim crouched down, tilting his head as he sized her up. "Mrs. Lancaster, nothing personal. We're just getting paid to do a job. If you want someone to blame when you reach the afterlife, blame your husband for crossing the wrong people. Don't blame us."

As he spoke, he reached out to grip her chin. Sienna yanked her head away, but he immediately grabbed a fistful of her hair and wrenched her back.

"She's feisty."

Pudge laughed from the sidelines. "I like them feisty, Slim."

Sienna bit her lip, a wave of despair threatening to choke her as her mind raced to find a way to stall for time.

"Wait. Something's not right..."

Just then, Rick 'Rat' Riker pulled out his phone, holding it up to Sienna's face before glancing down at the screen, his brow furrowing.

"Slim, this woman... she doesn't look like the one in the picture." He shoved the phone in Slim's face.

Slim took the phone, his frown deepening as he compared the photo to Sienna three times. The color slowly drained from his face.

They were completely different.

He jerked his chin at Pudge and Rat. "Hold her down."

The two men flanked her, grabbing Sienna by the shoulders and twisting her arms painfully behind her back.

Sienna fought frantically against their grip, true, paralyzing terror finally taking hold of her.

She wanted to scream for help, but who was going to save her now?!

"Let me go! Help!"

Right at that moment, the sound of heavy, rapid footsteps echoed from outside.

Slim's head snapped toward the entrance. "Who's there?"

Before the words even left his mouth, the heavy metal door of the cabin was kicked open from the outside. The steel panel slammed against the wall and bounced back, only to be stopped firmly by a black leather shoe.
