"Miss, please don't do it! It's very dangerous for you!"
"Shut up, Justin! Or I'll shoot you too!"
The man reflexively raised both hands into the air as Erica pointed at him.
"You know, this is Adrian's weapon I picked up at his house" he chuckled. "Will Adrian be sad because of his own weapon that will kill his wife?"
Naomi is getting scared. Never before had he been as frightened as he is now. Even more so when Ken sold it to Madam Leova.
"Just calm. I'm not gonna kill you right now. We'll wait for Adrian. He'll see for himself how the bullet from this gun penetrates your body."
Erica played the weapon in her hand.
"Justin, watch him! I'll take a break!"
"Good, Miss."

"Please let me go" said Naomi.
Justin glanced at Naomi at a glance, then looked out and made sure it was safe. Afterwards, he approached and crouched down in front of Naomi.
"Calm Miss. I'll try to help you get out of here. But not now. Miss Erica is a very dangerous person. If we try to escape now, we'll die at his hands."
"Why are you keeping me here? I'm going home to my husband."
"Please calm down first." Justin walked out of the room and came back after a few minutes. "I brought food for you. I'll untie you so I can eat, and then I'll tie you up again."
"I don't want to eat. I just want to go home."
"Please, Miss," he said, taking off the rope wrapped around Naomi's body. "Hurry to eat before Miss Erica comes back. If not eating, how would you have the energy to escape from this place. I'll try to get you out of here, but wait until Miss Erica's off guard."
Naomi just stared at some of the bread that Justin brought, but had no intention of reaching for it.
"I don't want to! What if you want to poison me."
Justin took a deep breath. Then he put a piece of bread in his mouth. "Look, I ate it. If this food had poison, I wouldn't dare eat it."
Naomi resigned. Slowly his hand reached for the piece of bread. "Why do you want to help me? You're not planning on killing me anywhere else, are you?"
"Of course not. I just don't want to end up in the hands of Mr. Marx or Prince Hugo if anything happens to you. So please eat first, Miss."
"Prince Hugo? Who's she?" ask Naomi with a mouth full of food. With tears melting on the cheeks.
"You'll know later. Just eat it now."
"Please call my husband. Tell him I'm here."
"Sorry, Miss. For that I cannot. Miss Erica will kill me. He will not hesitate to kill you too if you feel threatened. Now all he wants is you and Mr. Marx."
Justin's words make Naomi freeze. Shortly after Naomi finished her food and drink, the man tied his hands and feet again.
"Wait around! Once there's a chance, I'll get you out of here."
Naomi again lay with her body shackled by a rope, which made her whole body feel sore.
"I want to go home to my husband" he said.
A few seconds later, sobs began to fill the small room.
I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian .. I always try to escape from you. Now I'm totally conscious. I need you .. I promise after being released from here I won't mess around anymore. I miss you so much.

Adrian sat leaning against the sofa of the reading room while closing his tired eyes. Since last night he hasn't rested a minute.
A few minutes later, the phone rang. Adrian grabs the flat object and sees the caller on the screen, an unfamiliar number.
"Hello ...," he said shortly after the call was connected.
"How are you Adrian, honey?" There was a voice of a woman across the street. Adrian's forehead was wrinkled, he memorized the owner of the voice. "Do you still remember me?"
"Erica?"
