Chapter 10 7/1 Jason stood in the doorway , looking at Victoria in her wedding dress with a mocking smile . His voice was ice - cold . " I just told you not to cause trouble for Sophia , and you immediately have her abducted ? Do you have to torment her every single moment ? Now you're staging this whole charade ? " Victoria looked up , confusion flashing in her eyes . Just as she was about to defend herself , Jason's bodyguards stepped forward . One grabbed her long hair and roughly yanked her to the ground . Victoria's knees slammed hard against the marble floor , the sharp pain instantly draining the color from her face . " Jason ! " Victoria stared at him in disbelief . " How dare you treat me like this ? " He looked down at her , eyes devoid of warmth . He waved his hand and told the bodyguards coldly , " Get her in the car . " The bodyguards efficiently grabbed Victoria . Ignoring her struggles , they shoved her into the black sedan waiting outside . The moment the car door closed , a drug - soaked cloth was pressed firmly over her nose and mouth . Victoria's pupils contracted sharply . She struggled briefly before losing consciousness . After what felt like hours , she was jolted awake by excruciating pain . She found herself stuffed inside a rough burlap sack , her body curled up and unable to move . The next second , someone lifted the sack roughly and threw it to the ground like trash . Her arm slammed hard against the concrete floor , sharp pain shooting from her wrist as if the bone had snapped . " Mmph … " She groaned in pain , but with her mouth taped shut , only weak whimpers escaped . " One for one . Hand over Sophia . " Jason's voice came from outside the sack , cold and unfamiliar . " Everyone says Mr. Reid loves Ms. Page . Guess the rumors are true . " A raspy male voice sneered . " Since you don't care about Mrs. Reid anyway , how about you stab her once ? Let's test your true loyalty . " Jason was silent for several seconds , then said flatly , " Isn't the money enough ? " " Money ? " The abductor scoffed . " Mr. Reid , we didn't take her for money . ' 11 Just then , footsteps echoed from the shadows . Accompanied by slow , mocking applause , Wesley sauntered up to Jason with an amused smile . " Mr. Reid , it's been a while . " Jason's expression instantly turned cold . "Wesley , I should have known . " Wesley shrugged casually . " My perfect plan was ruined by your ' devoted wife ' before . Now I'm just asking you to stab her once . That's not unreasonable , is it ? " " What plan ? " Jason frowned.- Wesley flashed a twisted smile and leaned close to his ear , lowering his voice . " Don't you know ? I was planning to … " A sharp ringtone cut through Wesley's words . He glanced at the caller ID and hit the speakerphone button casually . " Wesley , when are you coming ? We're all waiting for you ! " " Yeah , yeah . " Wesley stepped back with mock disappointment , " You heard that , Mr. Reid ? My friends are calling me to hang out , so you need to decide quickly . Either stab Victoria once , or … " He paused , his smile turning vicious . " Nobody leaves . " The air seemed to freeze . Jason's gaze fell on the writhing burlap sack , complex emotions flashing in his eyes . After a moment , he reached for the knife Wesley offered , saying in a low voice , " Fine . " He walked to the sack and crouched down , pressing the blade's tip against the fabric . Victoria seemed to sense the danger . She struggled even more violently , but the tape completely silenced her muffled cries . Jason's hand trembled slightly , but soon his expression hardened again . Without hesitation , the blade pierced the sack . Blood instantly soaked through the fabric . Victoria's body went rigid , then limp . " Excellent ! " Wesley burst into laughter , clapping Jason on the shoulder . " Mr. Reid , you're truly ruthless ! But … " His tone shifted , eyes turning sinister . " You wasted my time , so there's interest to pay . Now , either stab Sophia once , or stab Victoria three more times . " Imson's face darkened instantly . " Wesley , don't push your luck ! " Wesley remained unmoved , leading lazily against the wall " Choose , Mr. Reid . My patience is limited , " Jason's fists clenched so tight they cracked . Finally , he took a deep breath , and the bloodied blade sank into the sack again three more times . He closed his eyes , his voice barely a whisper . " Victoria , I'm sorry .
