Chapter 1624
Luca stared at the ceiling and could not think of any ideas.
Her only option was to obediently go with their arrangement lest she suffered again. A woman against two men was not a fair fight to begin with. On top of that, her hands and feet were bound.
Eric opened the door and walked in. When he saw how desperate Luca looked, he thought about the connections she had.
He felt uneasy, so he opened the door and walked in with smedicine.
"Does it hurt?" He looked at Luca's swollen face. He did not hold back when he slapped her earlier. After all, he did not dare to disobey Pierre's orders in front of him.
Luca glanced at him and said nothing.
It hurt for her to open her mouth, let alone speak.
Eric was not bothered that she did not respond. He took out the medicine in his pocket. When he went to purchase merbromin and iodophor, the pharmacist recommended it after she learned about the patient's wound.
She told him that if he was unsure of the depth of the wound, it was best if he bought spainkillers. Eric was impatient with her questions so he just bought a box of it.
Unexpectedly, it cin handy.
"I have spainkillers here. Have some." Eric handed her the painkillers. He was worried that she would not take the pills, so he brought her the packaging to show her.
Luca looked away.
"Don't be so stubborn. You can't escape from this. If you want to suffer less, stay in your lane and take the pills." Eric opened the package, took out a pill, and forcefully turned Luca's head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was forced to look at him as he was gripping her jaw.
Luca watched as Eric put the pill into her mouth. He then forcefully poured water into her mouth from the mineral water bottle on the side.
Most of the water flowed down the corners of her mouth because she refused to open wide.
Luca choked and coughed a few times.
Her face was swollen and in pain as if it was being torn apart. She could not control the tears from falling from the corners of her eyes.
Eric looked at her with a numb expression. "Did you swallow it?" Luca sniffed and felt uncomfortable but she was unwilling to show cowardice in front of the man nor beg for mercy.
After Eric confirmed that she had swallowed the pill, he murmured, "How annoying."
He left the room after saying that.
Derek stood outside with his hands crossed in front of his chest. He looked at Eric with a half-smile.
"You're so kind to this woman. Have you been seduced by her?"
"Enough with the nonsense." Eric had a stern expression. He had no patience for women. If it were not because he was worried that Luke would go all out against him, he would not be bothered to feed Luca medicine.
"That's not it? That can only mean you're afraid of Luke, then." Derek said it casually. Although he was afraid of Luke to a certain extent, he was not as afraid as Eric.
Eric rolled his eyes and asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm scared, but if you think about it, there must be something special with Luke's woman. Don't you want to try her?" Derek smiled slyly. He had met many women who would take initiative as soon as they found out that he was rich. However, he had not touched a woman that belonged to a big shot like Luke.
He wanted to give it a try.
"Don't even think about it. If you put your hands on this woman, never mind what the boss will do if he finds out about it. What if this woman gets out alive and Luke learns what happened? That'll be the end of us both.” Eric tugged on Derek's collar as a warning.
He did not want to be stalked by Luke's men for touching his woman and be sent to prison.
Derek raised his hand and moved Eric's hand away, "What are you nervous about? I'm just talking about it. It's not a big deal even if I can't touch her. I don't lack women around me.”
Eric reminded him, saying, "Those women of yours are willing to do anything for money. This woman is different."
From the moment they kidnapped her, he knew she was different.
Others would always yell when they were kidnapped and would even think they were mistakenly kidnapped, but Luca did not make any noise after getting in the van. She was calm whenever she talked to them, never displaying a trace of fear.
"Okay, you're protecting her like she's one of your own. I'm getting bored talking to you. You can feed that woman lunch when it's time." Derek sat on the chair and lit up a cigarette casually.
Luca heard snoises from outside. She guessed that the two of them had a disagreement and were quarreling. When she wanted to continue to listen to what they were saying, the painkillers kicked in. She did not rest well all night. After the pain from her face subsided, she fell into a deep sleep.
...
The other side.
Luke received a call from his subordinates and found out that Pierre had left the villa.
He had confirmed it with Percy and was 90 percent sure that Luca was held captive in the villa.
If Luca was locked up, Percy must have taken action. If he was the target, he was expecting to receive snews sooner or later.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuke was waiting to see if Pierre would send him something.
An afternoon had passed but he still did not receive any anonymous emails. Percy did not hear from Luke, so he called to ask, "What's going on? Did you receive any anonymous calls or emails?"
Luke glanced at his mailbox. There were no unread emails. It was empty and quiet.
"No," he replied.
Percy becsuspicious and could not help but ask, "Could it be that we guessed wrongly? Maybe it wasn't Pierre who kidnapped Luca?"
"He's very suspicious. Give it a minute. If I still don't receive anything, I want to send my men to go into the villa to investigate," Luke said. When he thought of how Luca might be locked up in the villa by Pierre, even if it was speculation, he could not stop himself from wanting to take action.
If it was not Pierre who kidnapped Luca, he would concentrate all his manpower into redirecting the investigation.
"If it's him, what you're doing now will startle the snake." Percy knew that Luke was having difficulty restraining himself and immediately calmed him.
Just as Luke was going to say that he could not wait, his computer beeped and he received a new email.
When he saw the unfamiliar email address, Luke quickly sent it to Jason and asked him to check the IP address.
Percy heard him typing on the keyboard and asked, "Did you get an email?"
Luke hummed in reply. His hand that was holding the mouse trembled a little.
He carefully opened the email. He saw a video file attached and clicked on it.
The video was loading, so it was blurry before it played.
Nevertheless, Luke knew that Luca was in the video.
"What does it say?" Percy asked.
"It's a video attachment," Luke said. He was nervous as he watched it load to 90 percent.
"Turn on the camera and letsee," Percy said after he heard Luke's response.
