The Woman From Hell



The moment I saw her face, I was shocked. She obviously was too.

"Nina?!"

When I was abroad, Shannon, Holly, Dazaray, Thaddea, Nina, and I got into trouble together. After the incident, I lost contact with everyone except for Shannon. I did not expect to meet Nina in this small village.

"Have you also..." I asked her.

Nina nodded bitterly. She sniffled, obviously sad because of this. "I've been here for more than two months."

Her voice was hoarse, and I knew from her state that she had suffered a lot. I helped her pick up her things on the ground and put them into the basket. We found a place to sit down and chat.

"I settled in Rosella City. Everything was fine, but one night, I got off work late and met a middle-aged woman asking for directions while I was on my way home. I showed her the way out of kindness, and she gave me a bottle of water. I drank the water and I became dizzy. When I woke up, I was already here. I knew then that she was a human trafficker."

The middle-aged woman that Nina mentioned should be the same person who brought me here. She was a habitual criminal who specialized in abducting young girls. How abominable.

"When I didn't listen, they beat me. They even locked me in a small, dark room. They didn't give me water to drink or food to eat. Later on, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I could only obey. I... "

When she got to the end, she could not hold it in anymore and burst into tears. I patted her on the back. "Okay, don't cry. Things are already like this now. How could it get any worse?"

It was obvious I was also a victim here, but I was still comforting the other.

Nina sobbed and then slowly left

time.So, you were also sold here,

right?"

I nodded. "Well, I was set up, and that's how I ended up here. But I believe I'll be able to leave soon."

She found my words inconceivable, however. Niną shook her head and said to me, "It's impossible. Don't think about it. The mountain roads here are ever-winding. We outsiders can't make it out at all. Only some old people in the area know the way. We'll die if we leave. Also, the signal here is very poor. Even if your

mobile phone, you can't make any

calls. It's just a tool for their

entertainment here. It has no

communicative function."

I could tell from her tone that Nina had already given up and was prepared to stay here for the rest of her life.

I patted her on the shoulder. "I believe my husband will find me."

"I think you mentioned before that your husband is very powerful?"

"He's a respected figure in Whaldorf City. I believe he'll find me soon with his power. When the time comes, we'll all be rescued."

Nina's eyes instantly lit up with hope. "Really? Can I really get out?"

"I trust him." My voice was firm.

"I'll thank you so much if I can get out."

"Alright. Now is not the time to reminisce

out the past. You

should go back quickly. I have

to go

back too. Let's settle on a time to meet again."

I made an appointment with Nina to meet here at noon tomorrow, then went back the same way. When I got home, the old witch's face was ashen...
