Chapter 420 

After a while, the car screeched to a sudden stop. 

Before she could react, the door was yanked open.

Rough hands dragged her out violently. The hood remained over her head, leaving her in complete darkness. Mariela stumbled, nearly falling. 

“Nikolas, she’s here.” The voice belonged to the man from last night, the one who had displayed impressive skill when getting out of the car. 

When Mariela heard the name, a chill ran down her spine. 

It was the man who had nearly taken her life. 

Lennon had called him a lunatic, someone devoid of emotion and humanity. 

Nikolas had yet to speak, but Mariela’s heart clenched painfully, fear creeping through her veins. 

Would she die here today? 

Suddenly, someone pulled off her hood. 

Mariela had spent an entire night in darkness. The abrupt exposure to daylight left her dizzy and disoriented. 

Her body swayed. Mariela fought to steady herself, refusing to collapse.

The two men who had kidnapped her last night were now standing before this unfamiliar man, their heads bowed in deference.

This was the man who had tried to kill her multiple times, the man who had nearly murdered her father. 

She could not remain calm in front of a madman like him. 

“Afraid of me?” Nikolas’s alluring eyes glinted with amusement. 

His mother, Georgia Russo, had once been a famous actress, and his father, Royce, had been a prominent man in New York. Nikolas had inherited their stunning features, though he took more after his mother, with delicate features that could be described as bewitching. 

Before today, Mariela had assumed Nikolas would look brutish and menacing. She never expected him to have such a stunning face. When he smiled, he looked deceptively harmless.
