In a dark and damp room, a young lady lay on the cold hard ground barely breathing.
Many rounds of torture left her wishing for death but her wish wasn't granted, every time she was at deaths door her torturers would bring her back from the edge.
Annalisa Kim didn't even know what was happening or why it was happening. She only remembered driving in her car only to get hit by a Porsche. She fainted and when she regained consciousness she found herself in this hell. At this very moment when Annalisa was contemplating if she had offended anyone she heard the sound of the door opening. She took a deep breath and gathered her strength to lift her upper body in order to see who it was . A slender silhouette approached her the sound of high heels making click black sounds on the grimy floor. Annalisa got a shock when she saw who it was , her body jerking from the shock.
"Oh sister" the slender figure spoke her voice gentle like the calm face of a lake without ripples. "I hope you do realize that I'm not here to save you" she said snuffing out any hopes Annalisa had harbored upon seeing her adopted sister.
"Leila , what do you mean? " Annalisa asked with some difficulty. Leila didn't respond immediately but only snapped her fingers , suddenly bright light filled the small room causing Annalisa to close her eyes from the intense brightness. When her eyes were accustomed to the light she opened her eyes just in time to see the look of disgust on Leila's pretty face . Her heart clenched as an ominous feeling swept through her body.
" Annalisa Kim I finally have you on the ground under my feet."
"Leila make yourself clear."
"Don't worry sister, after playing with you for so long I have gotten bored and have decided to fulfill your wish to die. I can't possibly let you die without knowing why , that would be unfair to you. Aren't I good to you?"
Leila smiled like she had done her a great favor . Annalisa grimaced at her words wondering what could have possibly led to her current situation.
Annalisa kept silent staring wearily at Leila who seemed like a different person at the moment.
Leila sighed and said , "Sister you know from a young age I was always jealous of you. You had everything, you were the princess in the castle while I an orphaned girl was just that a commoner. I know that you were truly kind to me but you were also naive " Leila snickered and continued "I was obviously having evil thoughts about you but you naiveiy thought I was innocent. Heh... innocent, I was never that . From a young age I always fought for what I wanted no one could stand in my way . Then I met you ,you introduced me to the world of money and power I really liked it but you stood in my way so of course I have to get rid of you . Seriously sister if you had just given the rights of the company to me we wouldn't be here now. Such a pity . Oh and also Raymond and I are getting married soon give us your blessings." Leila smiled her face brimming with triumph .
Annalisa looked at the sister she had taken care of since young and couldn't believe she had done this to her . Her heart felt as if it had been wrenched out of her chest as she listened to her sisters betrayal with her fiance . She was extremely unwilling to believe her sister would go so far just for power and money but the truth was right in front of her how could she be unwilling. Many things run across her mind as she stared at her evil sister.
"Leila how could you do this , you are biting the hand that fed you! How could you! How could you!" Annalisa screamed very agitated by the truth .
Leila laughed enjoying her sisters agitated look . " Don't worry Anna your parents and brother will accompany you to the grave " her words chilling Annalisa to the bone . Suddenly, Annalisa felt a rush of adrenaline in her veins she jumped up and pounced on Leila screaming "I'll kill you, I'll kill your Leila"
Leila was greatly frightened by her unhinged appearance she immediately pushed Annalisa's weak body hard , her body fell to the floor like a sack of potatoes her head hitting the cold ground with a bang blood immediately seeped out . Annalisa was numb to the pain only staring at Leila with wide eyes saying "Leila I'll kill you wait for my revenge ,wait for my revenge."
Leila was scared by her look and immediately stumbled out of the room . She quickly run away from the place after paying the torturers and instructing them to disappear from the city.

Meanwhile, In a luxurious villa in the most prestigious and mysterious Pearl lake estate
a dignified young man stood in front of the desk in the study room reporting the results of an investigation to a man with king like presence. His jade like fingers crossed together with his well defined and smooth chin resting atop his hands . This man was Nealan Qin , the most mysterious bigshot in all of Amber City. No one had seen him before but his name and deeds were known by all the top aristocrats in the city. He was once a soldier who retired at the rank of Major Generalwhen he was 25 years old to take over his Grandfather's business after his death. Nealan's parents died when he was young so his Grandparents raised him . The moment he came back to take over his family's business he immediately fired all the corrupt personnel in the company and imprisoned them. He also punished those relatives who were involved in his parents deaths. He spared no one . This earned him his reputation for being ruthless. No one had ever seen him but his name and deeds were known by all in Amber City and beyond. His name alone was enough to make anyone tremble in fear. Opposite him, stood Wain Lin his assistant who had been with him since childhood even following him into the army and retiring with him . He also was a force to be reckoned with.
"According to the investigation report those people are headed towards the suburbs with the young Miss . There's only an abandoned warehouse there and a small shed on the side." Wain quickly reported the situation to his boss and friend. Nealan immediately grabbed his windbreaker and said coldly to Wain " let's go" .
Wain immediately turned around and headed out the door of the study contacting the driver to prepare the car while also deploying the bodyguards to rescue Venelia Qin the young sister of NealHan. She was 17 this year and very unruly. This time she had encountered some thugs who didn't know they had provoked a lion . He could imagine how miserable they were going to be already. They dared to kidnap Nealan Qin's sister for ransom heh...
The group quickly arrived at the destination of the kidnap . Nealan ordered his men to bring his sister and to break their hands and legs then, send them to prison. Wain and the bodyguards immediately entered the warehouse to conduct the rescue.

In the inconspicuous little shed, Annalisa gradually regained consciousness her head aching as if it were split open . She also remembered all that had happened before she fainted . She clenched her hands tightly and vowed to take her revenge but first she must get out of here alive she could feel she didn't have much time left she had to see if she could find help.
Annalisa struggled to peel her body off the cold ground she shivered from the cold 🥶.
She remembered that it was nearing winter in Amber City so the air was turning cold . She managed to get up from the ground and she stumbled toward the door her mind filled with the urge to survive . She stumbled across the room and out the door which had been left open after Leila had left . She eventually reached outside the shed . When she raised her head to look into the distance she could see the stars twinkling and a vague silhouette in the distance . She tried to get close to make sure it was not one of her kidnappers. As she moved forward , Nealan also noticed another presence coming from the direction of the shed. He could make out the outline of a woman slowly coming towards him. She seemed to be injured too he took a step forward to get a better look when the lady suddenly collapsed. Out of instinct he immediately rushed forward and held her before she could hit the ground . Annalisa felt the embrace of a man and weakly muttered "Help". Nealan also heard this one word before the lady closed her eyes in his arms .
He quickly stood with the young lady in his arms and walked towards his car just in time to meet Wain and his little sister. He the little girl a cold glance causing her to shrink her head back not daring to meet his gaze . Wain noticed his boss carrying a young lady and question marks appeared on his face not understanding where she came from. He wanted to ask but the boss didn't give him a chance. Nealan only glanced at him before saying
"To the hospital fast" .
"Yes" Wain nodded ordering the driver to quickly drive to the hospital.
Nealan sat in the back of his Maybach with the young lady in his arms he looked at her carefully and noticed that despite her grimy appearance she still was extremely beautiful. Her red lips naturally pouted and her skin looked tender and fair despite all the blood and dirt on her and he could that she had a really good figure. Nealan was just observing her his mind thinking about how she ended up like this looking like she was on the verge of death. He placed a finger under her nose to check if she was breathing. Though it was weak her breath was felt on his finger . His tense shoulders relaxed a little. He raised his head and said to the driver "Hurry if she dies you will be responsible."
The driver immediately responded with actions accelerating the car to the highest speed.
