Chapter 1072 Trying to escape
The four men looked mentally unhinged and lax, looking at her with lustful possessiveness inside their eyes.
Soon they all burst out laughing.
The voice was harsh and eerie.
It made Zoe feel bad.
Soon the man in his eighties came up to her.
The next second the man removed a crumpled wad of money from his pocket and shoved it into the arms of a man in black.
Zoe saw that it was about three thousand.
It turned out that she was only worth three thousand in the eyes of Robert’s parents.
The man in black didn’t say anything, he just silently took the money away.
They then left Zoe on the ground and turned to leave.
Intense fear spread throughout her body.
Zoe was tempted to scream.
But her mouth was firmly gagged and there was no way out.
Her body, too, was bound tightly with straw rope and she was not allowed to move at all.
There was no second way out for her now, except to wait here to die.
She was really scared.
She felt that in but a moment, she had been pushed from a great height to the ground in one fell, falling to pieces.
The whole world around it is like a dark bottomless pit.
It makes her wonder when the end will come and when the light will be seen.
Looking at the way the father and sons looked at her, Zoe knew even better where she was going to end up.
A bunch of people in the same family share one woman.
There are countless families who buy wives in such mountainous areas.
No!
She doesn’t want that.
It was at this time that the four men walked up to her.
Several of them looked at her from above, with the desire for a woman in their eyes.
It looked as if they hadn’t seen a woman in eight hundred years.
That one look made Zoe feel creepy.
Zoe tried desperately to struggle and escape, but to no avail.
She really missed Robert.
So hopeful, Robert is like those male protagonists in the TV series.
When the heroine is in danger, he comes down from the sky to save her from it.
However, she knew that it was impossible.
Earlier, listening to those who were guarding her, it was impossible for Robert to find her.
It took a lot of work for the two Moore family members to be able to hide her disappearance route.
Now Robert can appear, unless there is a miracle.
Yet, she still hoped that a miracle would happen in a hurry.
She really misses Robert a lot.
In her life, she did not want to be touched by any man other than Robert.
In that case, it would be better to die.
“This chick is pretty good looking.”
“Yes, the girls from Flento City are just different from the ones we have here.”
“I heard that she belonged to a rich man, tsk tsk. really nice.”
“Who will go first?”
The three younger ones were talking while drooling as they spoke.
The older one immediately snorted coldly, “I’m your father, of course I’ll go first.”
Immediately afterwards, there was a conflict between a few of them over who came first.
Zoe watched the few of them fighting over her.
In the end they decided that the older one would come first.
Then, she was left by several people in a room.
The room is in a state of disrepair and the windows are the kind of wooden windows that were first used in the countryside.
The glass had broken and a gust of wind chilled the entire room.
The bed was not the kind she usually saw, but the earthen bed she had, before, only seen in books, and in TV shows.
The earthen bed was very cold, and lying on it was even more bone-chilling.
She struggled again, but to no avail.
Eventually, tears flowed silently.
She’s finished.
The two elders of the Moore family will crush all her pride and self-esteem.
She would end up like the girls, who were trafficked to such places.
No.
She doesn’t want that.
Robert, where are you, Robert!
Soon the three younger men walked out.
Inside the house, only an eighty-year-old man is left.
The older man didn’t untie her, he just put his hands on her.
Crying, Zoe shook off his head, but he was getting excited.
She wanted to kill him, but there was nothing she could do about it.
First, the old man.
After that they were one after another.
Zoe is really going crazy.
The intense humiliation made her want to bite her tongue.
But with her mouth gagged, she couldn’t even kill herself.
She made up her mind in secret that she would run.
To escape this hellhole.
She can’t just sit there and wait for it to happen!
………
For the next month, Robert searched like mad for Zoe, but could not find her at all.
After making several trips back and forth to the police station, Robert dragged his tired body back to the Dream Garden.
As soon as he entered, Robert felt that the whole world was empty.
Inside the house, it was obviously warm, but as soon as he entered, he felt a biting cold.
He was lonely.
He really missed Zoe, missed her like crazy.
This is despite the fact that many things in the house have been smashed up.
But, later, he bought the same ones back.
Standing at home like this, everywhere is still the same, only without Zoe.
Standing in the middle of the living room, he could still clearly see Zoe sitting on that plush white carpet, arranging flowers with grace and serenity.
He can see the way that when he came home after a busy day, Zoe jumped up from the sofa and jumped joyfully into his arms.
He really missed her, so much so that he was going crazy.
These days, he hasn’t had a restful night’s sleep.
It takes a lot of sleeping pills and alcohol to get to sleep every day.
Even when he fell asleep, he always dreamed of Zoe.
Those images that were once warm and vibrant look wonderful in dreams.
It was so beautiful that he didn’t even want to wake up.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
At the moment of realisation that it was all just a dream, he would force himself to close his eyes and try to continue dreaming.
It would be good to let him live in his dreams forever, if that were possible.
Powerlessly walking to the front of the sofa and sitting down, Robert opened a bottle of half-drunk red wine, and then began to drink.
But raising a glass to dispel sorrow makes it worse.
The more he drank, the more the sorrow in his heart deepened.
As he drank, Robert couldn’t stop crying.
The wildly suppressed emotions inside, like a volcanic eruption, completely exploded in this moment.
After finishing the rest of the wine, Robert threw the bottle, viciously, on the ground.
In a flash, the ground, which had just been restored to a tidy state, was again in a state of disarray.
