A man stood at the chamber door where the lights shone behind him, creating a silhouette of a man with his face darkly engulfed in the shadows of the pitch-black room. As he entered the chamber, Selina recognized the perpetrator and muttered softly, "Ramsey."
"That was quick; I thought they would drug you and wheel you here. It seems like you've made it easy, and you're still in your hospital gown. Typical of you." Ramsey sniggered arrogantly at his success in capturing the girl.
"Release me, Ramsey. You do not need me to take over the family business. I am not here to assume control of the family business."
"Not yet. You are still a threat to us. Your survival is crucial."
He procured a stack of papers from his leather bag, and a table was brought over and placed in between Ramsey and Selina.
"Leave us!" He ordered the men and the imposter nurse to leave the room while he could freely speak.
The door behind Ramsey shut, and a brilliant light illuminated Selina's countenance. She wasn't used to the light, and she squinted at the sight of Ramsey standing in front of her.
In stark contrast to what he wore the day before, Selina held up her head slightly to peek at Ramsey, who was dressed in an identical pair of trousers and a black leather jacket.
A fountain pen stood smack dab in the center of the bunch of documents, waiting for Selina's signature.
Shortly, the door opened, and in came a man in a navy business suit holding a briefcase. The well-dressed man was a little taken aback by the condition that Selina was in; nevertheless, he maintained a calm and professional composure.
"Mr. Axelson, Miss Axelson, I am Rufus Heron, the family attorney. These are the Memoranda of Transfer that transfer the ownership of Antlia Villa, Axelson Entertainment, and Axelson Conglomerate to Ramsey Roth Axelson."
"Ramsey? I thought the transfer should be to Edith." Selina stared at Ramsey straight through with disbelief that Ramsey would betray Edith and his mother, Winona.
"Are you kidnapping me behind Edith's back and forcing me to sign the 'MoT'? Well, just like I would not transfer my inheritance to Edith, I too will not transfer anything to you."
"You are a selfish bitch; you ran away and neglected the company for years, and yet you still want to hold the reins; you don't even have the proper experience to run them. I, on the other hand, have been with the company."
"When I was with the company, I was still underage, but I followed my grandfather all the same, and that was before you. Then he suspiciously became ill, and Edith cast me aside and kicked me out of the company, only to realize that my grandfather put my name in his will to inherit everything. Edith got pissed!" Selina yelled with conviction; she couldn't handle all this nonsense anymore.
"But you legally changed your name, so you are not Hazel anymore. You cut ties with the Axelson family!"
"But I did not cut my ties with my grandfather! You can threaten me however you want; I will not sign this document." Selina looked away from the document and the attorney, who sat right in front of her.
"If that is the case, Mr. Axelson, we are done here." Rufus suddenly stood up. "I have no business witnessing any squabbles and disagreements between family members. Since this is also behind Lady Axelson's back, I don't see why I should stay here and proceed with the transfer. Good day to you, Mr. Axelson, Miss Axelson."
"Wait! Mr. Heron, please help me. You are the Axelson family lawyer; I am an Axelson; I should not be kidnapped and confined in a place like this." Selina pleaded in desperation.
"I am really sorry; although I abide by the law, this is a family situation that I cannot be a part of. But a word of wise Ramsey," This was the first time the lawyer addressed Ramsey using his first name.
"Anything you do now will have serious consequences. I will have to report this situation to Lady Axelson, as this is not what I agreed upon upon becoming the family's attorney.
Goodbye." Rufus left the chamber room, but the documents were still neatly placed on the table.
"You are a joke; you loudly proclaimed that you cut ties with us, and now you say that you are still an Axelson? Have you no shame? You are just like any other greedy bimbo that covets the family's fame and fortune."
"I left the household and was never one to come back! But the three of you continued to drag me back to this family that forsakes me and my mother! I don't have to justify whatever I say and do to survive!" Selina stood her ground, regardless of the pathetic condition she was in. She was sick of being treated like nothing because of her illegitimacy.
"Sign the papers you wrench!" Ramsey pulled her hair back so brutally that her head hit the back of the chair. Then her head slammed on the floor as the chair rocked back and collapsed on the floor.
"I will torture you until you come to your senses!" Ramsey was furious and lost it. He could not get Selina's signature now, so he needed to knock some sense on her.
"You are crazy!" Selina yelled.
Ramsey continued to assault Selina, kicking her in the stomach, chest, back, and head. She began to form bruises all over her body and her face. Then he stepped on Selina hard in the stomach until she puked.
The plump man finally stopped after exerting himself during the assault. He usually hires people to do his dirty job, but he wanted to keep this under wraps.
"I should probably just throw you into the river and let you drown because you are so stubborn. I will claim that inheritance without a hitch."
Selina didn't have the energy to retort. As a result of Ramsey's kick, she suffered serious injuries, and her head began to hemorrhage.
Suddenly, the chamber door opened abruptly, and the imposter nurse yelled, "The police are on their way!"
"What?! How on earth did they know?" Ramsey yelled, surprised by how quickly the law enforcement arrived. He looked at the unconscious Selina and said, "We need to kill her now!"
The imposter nurse's eyes widened at the unconscious victim. She thought her boss needed her alive, but she was brutally abused. She took out a pen knife and was about to stab Selina in the chest, then she stopped and turned to Ramsey and said, "Let's set the warehouse on fire!"
"Whatever you want to do, do it quick!"
The fake nurse rolled in a barrel of kerosene and started to pour it on Selina and the area around her. Then she lit up her lighter and threw it straight at Selina.
The flames spread and engulfed the entire building, along with Selina. The perpetrators fled through the back door, but the police were able to catch them. They were surrounded.
Raymond and Albert quickly rushed into the same room, lit with fire. Raymond took the fire extinguishers and immediately attempted to suppress the fire on Selina to ensure the fire stopped.
Albert rushed into the scene and started to roll Selina's body on the floor to make sure the fire was fully extinguished.
If they were a second too late, Selina's body would be completely scorched.
Albert was furious when he received the message that Selina had been abducted. He dropped everything and rushed out to catch up with Raymond to retrieve her back.
When they arrived, they followed and knocked out the two burly men who drove her here. Both of them saw a black Audi rashly exit the premises.
"That nurse was nowhere to be seen." Raymond said. Then they heard stomping and kicking noises in one of the nearby chambers and rushed over to see the nurse pouring kerosene all over Selina, quickly lighting the fire.
Everything happened so fast as the fire spread. Thankfully, backup arrived swiftly, and as the two perpetrators left, they failed to catch Albert and Raymond running in from the main entrance towards the crimson girl trying to put out the fire!
Ramsey and the fake nurse reached outside of the warehouse to find themselves entirely surrounded.
Selina, who was suffering from first-degree burns all over her body and her hospital gown, was entirely burned into ashes.
Albert quickly took out his coat, asked for Raymond's, and bundled her up. He quickly assessed her condition as high-intensity fire, fueled by kerosene, that can cause severe burns in a shorter amount of time.
Selina's body, now exposed for Albert to examine, was seen suffering from epidermis and dermis tissue damage. Some parts of her abdomen started to blister, but her face was not, thankfully, affected.
Albert could not control his anger, and he was tempted to destroy whoever was trying to murder this beautiful girl.
