Slowly Falling into His Love Trap

Chapter 439: She... Is Afraid of Pain

"My husband isn’t that stupid," Evelyn gritted her teeth in anger. "He’s not someone who compromises easily. He’d definitely want to see me before paying!"

Evelyn was utterly furious with these untrustworthy people.

One billion dollars!

That couldn’t even buy her life?

"Then let’s kill her!" The kidnapper shrugged, his expression indifferent. "Anyway, my ultimate goal is to kill you!"

"If anything happens to me, my husband will never let you go!" Evelyn clenched her fists, her voice filled with certainty. "He’ll make you suffer miserably, wishing for life and death!"

"That’s something after your death, you won’t be able to see that scene," the kidnapper said nonchalantly. "If that day really comes, we’ll compete again as ghosts!"

Seeing the resolute look in the kidnapper’s eyes, Evelyn couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears streamed down her face, showing grievance and vulnerability.

"Uncle..." Evelyn choked and murmured softly, "Uncle... please come and save me..."

At this moment, was she really about to die?

To die... so suddenly.

Before dying, she had her last lunch cooked by Caden Lockwood, cola chicken wings.

It seemed like this was her only solace.

Will there be a next life?

In the next life, will she meet Caden Lockwood again?

Probably not!

Someone like Caden Lockwood is surely born with a silver spoon; meeting him in this life was already a rare stroke of luck. How could there be another encounter in the next life?

Evelyn closed her eyes, not wanting to see the knife plunging into her heart.

She only wished for a painless death, preferably dying within a second.

She... was afraid of pain.

Grasping the ring at the tip of her finger, images of Caden Lockwood appeared in her mind. Her lips curved into a slight, bitter, and forlorn smile.

Just then, she heard the sound of the door being kicked open. Evelyn flinched back in fear, immediately opening her eyes. When she saw Caden Lockwood, her tears flowed even more uncontrollably.

Was it a dream?

Wasn’t Caden Lockwood supposed to be delivering money elsewhere? How did he appear here?

Sunlight shone from behind him, highlighting his sharp eyebrows and straight nose, his chiseled thin lips pressed into a tight line without a hint of a curve. What captivated the most were his piercing black eyes, exuding a cold pride that demanded submission wherever he looked.

He was still in a black suit, the sunlight catching glimmers on him, as though a god had descended, so handsome that he made people forget all pain and troubles.

Caden Lockwood walked straight to Evelyn. The police behind him, armed, quickly subdued the kidnapper, then checked the room for any remaining dangers.

Evelyn blinked and, confirming she wasn’t dreaming, grinned with a relieved smile.

Caden Lockwood furrowed his brows, reaching out to pull Evelyn into his embrace.

"Silly girl, don’t be afraid." His voice was deep and rich, resonating from above into her ears, a sound full of reassurance. "As long as I’m in this world, I won’t let anything happen to you."

Hearing Caden Lockwood’s words, the caution in Evelyn’s heart softened, completely dissipating in that moment.

"Boohoo—" Evelyn bawled, "I was so scared... he was going to kill me and stab my heart to end it all in one strike!"
