Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 89 I'll Save You

Chapter 89 I'll Save You

Stella silently followed behind her, bypassing the main building of the hotel and arriving at the entrance

of the underground parking lot.

The surroundings were pitch black and quiet, with very few people passing by. Even if someone were

to go to the underground parking lot, they would only take the elevator inside the hotel, not take such a

long route.

Stella slowed down her pace and felt puzzled. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"What are you doing?" Amelia urged from ahead, "Hurry up! My car is parked down there."

"If you go down like this, will you be able to find it?"

"I know where my car is parked. Do you think I wouldn't know? What's wrong? Are you expecting me to

drive the car up to pick you up?" Amelia sneered and said, "Stella, if I openly drove to the hotel

entrance to pick you up, everyone would see how you're dressed today! Do you want to embarrass our

family?"

Stella pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

The road leading to the underground parking lot was deep and dark, like a black hole with no end in

sight.

Amelia almost ran all the way ahead, while Stella struggled to keep up. Amelia took several turns, and

Stella didn't know where they had ended up. It was pitch black all around, without even a single light,

making it impossible to see the road beneath their feet.

Stella started to feel anxious. There was always a musty and damp smell in this area, which made her

even uneasier.

"Sis..." She called out, and the echo filled the surroundings. "Where are we?"

After a while, Amelia's sharp and vicious laughter came from the darkness.

"This is where you should go!"

Stella's heart suddenly tightened, and a chill instantly ran down her spine!

Before she could react, she was pushed out by a force.

She screamed and instantly fell heavily onto the uneven concrete ground, her knees hurting from the

impact!

Then she heard the sound of the door closing.

Stella's mind went blank as she struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards the door. But

she could only hear Amelia's cold laughter from behind the iron door.

"Poor Stella, you don't need to attend tonight's party! I'll tell Dad that you don't want to come at all!"

"Amelia!" Stella pounded on the door. "Where am I? Let me out!"

"This is such a nice place, so it should be enough for you to enjoy for a while." Amelia sneered and

walked away, the sound of her high heels gradually fading.

Stella slumped against the door and sat on the ground limply.

The ground was cold, and the walls around her were bare and gray. The air was filled with a strong

musty smell, making her nauseous.

If it weren't for the faint light coming through the crack under the door, it would be pitch black here, like

a dark hell.

Stella hugged her knees, trying her best to stay calm. She took out her phone with her trembling hand,

but there was no signal here as if she was cut off from the world.

She felt a chill all over her body and stared blankly at the phone screen. In the end, she was unable to

hold back her tears.

......

Amelia returned along the same route, someone intercepted her halfway.

"Miss Amelia, everything is ready. Should we deliver it now?"

Amelia smirked with satisfaction and looked at the cage in the person's hand where squeaking sounds

could be heard.

"You wait here for now and let it in later! This is our reserved program. How can we show it so quickly?

Let that b*tch enjoy the darkness first, and then we'll send these cuties in... to liven things up for her!"

"Yes." The man lifted the brim of his hat and had the same sinister smile.

Amelia walked along the path, finally experiencing a feeling of joy.

She wanted to torment Stella, lock her up, infect her with the disgusting virus, and then pass it on to

Liam... This was her greatest joy!

Even if it meant dying, she couldn't allow that b*tch to die too easily!

Amelia raised her head and straightened her back. Her grin couldn't be wider as she quickened her

pace towards the party hall.

However, she was unaware that someone under the distant banyan tree had witnessed everything she

had done.

......

Stella curled up in a corner, trembling.

The room was small, but occasionally, pieces of peeling wallpaper would fall, and the sound of dripping

water from leaking pipes was particularly clear in this dark and silent atmosphere.

This environment reminded Stella of when she was in school. At that time, Amelia always bullied her

and spread rumors that she was an illegitimate daughter everywhere in school. One day after school,

she and a group of people tricked Stella into an abandoned classroom, where they locked her up for a

day and night.

At that time, Stella experienced the despair of calling out with all her might and receiving no response.

Since then, she had developed an extreme fear of dark and enclosed spaces. Even during the time she

slept separately from Liam after they got married, she never dared to close the bedroom door tightly.

And now...

She thought of Liam. He must be anxiously searching for her, while she couldn't contact him. Sadness

washed over her.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a few small squeaking sounds coming from outside the door.

Stella froze, and her ears perked up. The sound was getting closer as if it was lingering just outside the

door.

They seemed to be rats...

She suddenly felt nauseous and a little scared. The sound was very chaotic, indicating that there was

more than one.

After a while, Stella gathered her courage and approached the door of the basement, peering outside

through the gap at the bottom of the door.

She saw a giant rat staring at her with a pair of crimson eyes!

"Ah!" Stella screamed in fear. She was so scared that she shivered, and her body was covered in

goosebumps as she pressed her back against the wall.

The rats outside the door heard the commotion and started banging against the door, with the giant rat

trying to squeeze through the gap.

Stella hugged herself tightly and covered her mouth, not letting herself cry out, but she couldn't control

her tears.

"Liam, Liam..." She despairingly called out his name.

Whenever she was in a crisis before, she had his embrace which gave her a sense of complete

security.

But now, besides the pitch-black walls, there was nothing.

Stella bit the back of her hand tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks like rain.

She saw the naked paws and tails of those rats continuously trying to squeeze through the gap, and

they made disgusting squeaking sounds. She could almost smell the foul odor emanating from them.

She could also imagine the consequences of contracting the plague.

Stella kept retreating, but there was a wall behind her, and she had nowhere else to go.

"Don't come closer..." She trembled, screaming, "Don't come closer!"

But at that moment, she heard urgent footsteps at the door, followed by a few muffled thuds. The rats

squeaked and struggled, and the paws and tails from the gap quickly retracted.

Stella was startled and stunned for a few seconds.

After a while, the sounds disappeared, and the world seemed to fall into a vacuum, eerily quiet.

She trembled uncontrollably, inching towards the door.

"Who... who is out there?"

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the lock being picked!

"Who the hell is it?"

"Don't be afraid." Came the response from outside. "I'll save you!"
