"Complete the tasks on this USB drive, and you'll have your freedom."
"Ah, such a beauty, with cheeks as rosy and tempting as a ripe apple."
"Makes one want to take a bite." The man adjusted his cufflinks, his hand extending toward Eve's cheek.
Mia, feverish from the damp chill, clung weakly to Eve and tried to evade the man's reach.
But she was too slow. His hand brushed against Eve's face.
"She's burning up. Wait much longer, and she might..."
"Fine. I'll do it." Trembling, Mia rose, holding the feverish Eve close.
She took the USB drive from the man's outstretched hand.
Who was really behind this kidnapping?
Was it the sly-looking man standing before her?
Or Kelly, with her two-faced nature?
Or that venomous woman from the banquet?
Mia didn't know. She had no other choice.
