Damn it, they had Sarah in their grasp! She had assumed Sarah had managed to escape, but little did she expect that Sarah, too, had fallen into the clutches of these individuals!

Eavesdropping on the conversation outside, Ariana's heart began to race. She pressed herself against the door, trying to catch every word, praying that their intention to trick her into leaving was merely a ruse.

Outside, a man named Mike Campbell, tall and intimidating with a prominent scar on his forehead, was leading a group. In a gruff voice, he ordered the man beside him, "Jack, get that big celebrity from downstairs. I'll keep an eye on the girl here."

“Right away, boss." Jack Ortega nodded, and then quickly strode off.

After a short while, Ariana heard heavy footsteps outside the room, followed by a dull thud, as if a large object had been carelessly thrown to the floor.
