Chapter 3 Captured Part 3

Esme sighed and hung her head in exhaustion. She had already gone an entire day without eating or even drinking water since she had arrived at this location. Despite the fact that she was extremely exhausted, her mind was very active.

Who exactly is it that gave the order for people to go after her? Why is there a room like this in the house that her boyfriend lives in? Nobody seems to have noticed that she has vanished, does anyone else not care that she disappeared? A despondent smile played on her lips. It is in times of need that one will see who the real friend is and who is not. Even if someone is looking for her, who would suspect that she was brought to her boyfriend's house? No one will. She herself does not even know what she was brought here to do. Her ears twitched when she heard the sound of footsteps.

"Heh! It would appear, pretty lady, that the boss doesn't give a damn about whether or not you live or die. What a shame it is ". It is just the footstep of one of the people guarding her.

They had been making fun of her ever since she had arrived at this location. Why should she be upset if the boss doesn't care about her if she doesn't even know who he is?

"What a poor excuse for a woman. She has no idea that she is being used as a pawn in this game ". They all shared a good laugh at her expense.

The individual who had been anticipated arrived at the dungeon exactly one day later.

"Oi!! The Boss has arrived! ".

Esme's heart had the sensation that it was being held by another person. The pain in her chest was excruciating. The sound of the person's footsteps sounded very similar to the sound of her boyfriend's footsteps when he was walking. In addition to his own footsteps, he could hear the sound of someone else's high heels clicking together.

"I'm worried, honey, that Esme won't be able to handle this. Don't you realize how heartbroken she will be when she finds out what you and I have in store for her? ".

"Stop acting like such a hypocrite, Silvia. You are well aware of how upset she will be; therefore, why do you continue to dwell on this matter? ". The icy tone of the man's voice reverberated throughout the dungeon.

The woman laughed, and the men's hearts started racing at the sound of the seductive tone in her voice.

"Well, it's about time that I pay a visit to my dear sister."

Esme froze. It simply cannot be... It is not possible!

As soon as the dark cloth that had been covering her head was removed, she opened her eyes, but had to wait for them to become accustomed to the lighting in the dungeon.

"Hello, dear sister".

Esme's head cocked in the direction of the source of the voice as she searched for its origin. When she finally saw the person who had put her in this predicament, the woman's eyes widened in shock.

"Silvia? What are you doing here?". Esme asked. She was told by a voice that Silvia is the reason why she is here, but Esme continues to deny that Silvia is the reason why she is here.

"Esme dear, you are a smart girl. I find it hard to believe that you still do not comprehend what is taking place ". A grin appeared on Silvia's face. To Esme, Silvia appeared to be a murderous demon who had come to take her life.

"What... and why are you acting in this manner? Tell me the reason!". Esme jerked violently against the chains as she attempted to free herself.

" Argh!". The burly man who was standing behind her used a stick to hit the back of her legs.

Don't move!

Esme glared at Silvia with malice in her eyes as they locked gazes.

"Hahahaha! Don't be such an idiot, I've always had this as one of my goals in life. My desire to kill you dates back to the moment you took Jeremy away from me, and it hasn't changed ".

" What? What do you mean by saying that I stole Jeremy away from you? Jeremy is my boyfriend ". Esme yelled back, her eyes becoming red with rage as she did so.

"Do you really believe that? You are a complete moron. You were only fooling yourself when you believed that; Jeremy was never yours to begin with ". When Silvia pounded the ground with her feet, the heel of one of her shoes fractured as a result.

" Silvia!". Someone screamed from the shadows, and Esme's heart immediately broke when she heard it.

"Silvia, are you okay?". The individual rubbed Silvia's back, and then knelt down to examine her feet to see if they were swollen.

"I'm fine. Jeremy, I was terrified ". Silvia calmed herself by patting her chest, despite the fact that she was quite shaken.

"You need to exercise extreme caution because we can't risk our child getting hurt. Jeremy was quick to respond and bring her a stool so that she could sit down. It had not occurred to him to notice Esme's pale face.

"Oh, Jeremy, you are such a gentleman. You clearly have a lot of concern for our child. However, Jeremy, you should not have brought it up in such a casual manner because you never know what Esme might decide to do with it ". Silvia hid her flat belly so that the effect would be more pronounced.

" J... Je... Jeremy". A weak and trembling voice emanated from the direction of their backs. Jeremy came to a complete stop, and as he slowly turned around, he saw Esme gazing at him with her stunning eyes. At this very moment, tears were streaming down her face, making her look very sad.

" W... What exactly is going on here? What's the deal with her carrying your child? ".
