Trapped In Lace

Jack and Rachel's romance was interrupted after he found she was injured. He gently helped her lie down and said, "Have a good sleep."

In the darkness, her breathing gradually became regular.

A while later, Jack rose from the bed and walked to the balcony with his phone in hand. "Go ahead," he ordered.

At that time, in another part of the city, Holley's hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was stuffed with a rag. She looked at the two men in front of her in horror.

When she had returned home from the gay bar she had gone to in the evening, she hadn't expected to see two strange men at her door.

In her drunken state, she had roughly yelled, "Get out of my way," while attempting to fish her house keys out of her handbag. However, the two men had stopped her and taken her away.

As Holley stared at them with wide eyes, she wondered, 'Are they going to...?'

Her face turned pale with fear as all kinds of possible scenarios flashed in her head.

The taller man squatted down in front of her and took out the rag from her mouth.

"Bah! Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?" Holley raised her voice as soon as she could speak.

Talking in a loud voice gave her some confidence, no matter how scared she felt on the inside.

The man sneered, "What do you think we want?"

"Don't touch me! If you dare to touch me, I will..."

"What will you do?" the other man cut in before she could finish her sentence. He was expressionless,

report, Rachel saved it and turned off the computer. Then, she stretched and glanced at the door.

Why hadn't Jack come to pick her up?

She tried calling him again, but his phone was still powered off.

What could have happened? This was out of character for him. If he wasn't going to pick her up, he would have informed her in advance.

'Could it be that the missed call he gave me at noon was to talk about this matter?' she wondered.

"Rachel, a patient just came in with chest tightness, but Dr. Zhang just went to the canteen. Can you come take a look?" A nurse hurried in.

Rachel nodded and put on the white gown again.

Half an hour later, she finished the examination.

Rachel glanced at the window and saw that it was getting dark outside. It looked like it was going to rain.

Before leaving the hospital, she tried calling Jack one more time but to no avail.

In the end, she decided to take a cab home.

Although rush hour had passed, this was the time when cab drivers changed their shifts. Standing on the pavement outside the hospital gate, Rachel tried to hail a cab for more than ten minutes, but no cab stopped for her.

Suddenly, rain started to pour down.

But even in the heavy rain, someone was walking without an umbrella, holding a suitcase in hand.

The heavy rain was like a curtain that covered Rachel's sight. It was not until the person stood right in front of her that she realized that it was Holley.

What a small world!
