Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 710: Directly across from the bed stood a fat, middle-aged man with a bulging stomach. A sick grin stretched across his face. Of all people, it had to be him - Axell! Rosanna froze. Her breath hitched, and terror danced in her wide, bewildered eyes. It felt like invisible hands were squeezing her throat. Her voice quivered as she asked, "How... how did I end up here?" She thrashed against the restraints, panic taking hold. The red ties dug sharply into her wrists, and her parched throat barely let any words out.

"Axell, let me go!" "I wouldn't bother struggling if I were you." Axell strolled closer, eyes shamelessly raking over her. His grin was cruel and full of malice. "In the shape you're in, there's no escaping!" He let out a low chuckle and, without warning, yanked off the towel that had been draped over her. Rosanna's gaze dropped - and horror washed over her as she saw she had nothing on. All the color drained from her face in a heartbeat. A crushing wave of shame slammed into her, swallowing her whole. It felt like she was drowning in it.

She could clearly recall being safe at home, sitting down to a delicious meal made with love by her parents. Everything had felt so warm, so normal. How had things spiraled into this nightmare? "No, that's not possible..." Her thoughts spun wildly, a storm of disbelief. "I remember... I was at home, eating dinner with Mom and Dad..." "Dinner?" Axell let out a slow, mocking laugh, as if relishing her confusion. "Naturally, they had to fill your belly first - so you'd be strong enough to entertain me." Rosanna jerked her head up, her voice cracked and raw. "That's a lie!

My parents would never do something like that!" Every story unfolds at gαℓησνs． "Why not?" Axell cut her off, his smile twisted and cold. "Then go on - explain how you ended up here. You can't, can you? That's because they slipped something into your food." He suddenly grabbed a small bottle from the nightstand and held it up. "Recognize this?" The exquisite glass bottle gleamed in the dim light, remnants of transparent liquid still clinging to its crystalline surface. Panic crashed through Rosanna's chest, her heart plummeting into an abyss of dread.

The realization struck her like ice water - she would never forget such a liquid. This was the very bottle of medicine Mariana had given her, but she never expected that Axell also had some. Axell shook the bottle lightly, a sinister smirk playing on his lips. "You didn't finish it at the last banquet. Just now, while you were out cold, I made sure to force more of it down your throat." . . . Message from Noah: Have an excellent weekend, dear ones.
