Suddenly, I remembered that in the original, the female lead and her mother had always been distant.
I decided to treat Maribel even better and planned to take her for a vaccine.
On the day of the appointment, I waited outside the school for half an hour, but she didn't come out.
I went to her classroom, but it was empty.
A student said:
"Maribel left with Leopold right after class."
Left?
Why didn't I see them at the gate?
Checking the surveillance footage, I found that they had left through the back door.
Just as they reached the roadside, a familiar black van pulled up, and both were dragged inside.
It was Thaddeus.
He'd been released again?
I wanted to ask the author:
When will he been caught?!
I pedaled my tricycle furiously toward the outskirts, heading to one destination.
In the original story, there's a famous scene.
After the female lead's 18th birthday, the three male leads took her to a villa in the countryside for a "vacation."
Following the book's description, I arrived at the villa and saw several men standing outside, all underlings of Thaddeus.
Scanning the area, I noticed they were all new faces.
The police had explained that Thaddeus was released because he pinned everything on his previous henchmen.
Sacrificing pawns to protect the king.
What kind of leader are they following?
Blind loyalty. They need corrective lenses.
I grabbed my gear from the tricycle, disguised myself, and sneaked in.
On the second floor, I finally heard Maribel's voice.
She was speaking with Thaddeus.
"Just accept me. As long as I have food, you'll have food."
Maribel was panicked.
The memory of his tattoo flashed in her mind.
"N-No, thank you. You can eat it yourself. I'm not into that."
"Will you or won't you?"
Maribel crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"No way."
She rejected him outright.
"I used to not care. My mom never paid attention to me. No matter how much I fell, indulged myself, or gave up, she wouldn't notice. But now, Mom loves me and treats me well."
"She cares for me, protects me, and tells me to stay safe."
Standing outside, I smiled in relief.
Tears welled up.
This is the joy of nurturing.
Thaddeus's face darkened.
After a moment of contemplation, he asked desperately:"If you won't, what about your mom?"
Me:
...
Thanks for the invitation.
My heart is locked up.
But the key is on the doorframe. It's reachable if you're 6'1".
You? Not happening.
Thaddeus, frustrated, stormed off.
I followed him downstairs to another room.
Opening the door, I found two familiar faces.
A haggard Leopold, who lay exhausted on the bed.
And the smug CEO, sitting on the bed.
Damn. Fists clenched.
I knew it. This kidnapping was their joint plan.
Leopold lured Maribel out of school, the CEO provided the villa, and Thaddeus executed the abduction.
When did they form this unholy alliance?
"What do we do now? Maribel won't give in," Thaddeus said, his tone frustrated.
Leopold smirked, sipping a tonic.
"She has no choice."
Spit!
Beasts.
The CEO growled, "What if her mom calls the police?"
Thaddeus cracked his knuckles.
"Then we'll take her mom too!"
You...
Ridiculous.
The CEO gritted his teeth."And her dog! I'll kill it to vent my anger!"
This one was even worse.
Unbearable.
They wanted to target every member of my household.
