Bella sprinted toward the exit, her heart pounding in her chest as she heard footsteps closing in behind her. Fear gripped her, but she didn't dare look back. All she wanted was to escape the bar and find a cab to take her home.
But the men chasing her were too quick. Within moments, they caught up to her, grabbing her by the arms on either side and dragging her toward a black Range Rover parked on the side of the road.
"Let me go!" Bella screamed, struggling desperately to free herself. But their grips were unyielding, their hands like iron clamps on her arms.
Despite her frantic resistance, they continued to haul her toward the vehicle. Her cries for help echoed into the night, but no one heard her.
As they neared the car, O'Neil appeared in front of her, a sinister smirk spreading across his face.
