BXBX NOVEL Chapter 205 - 205: It Looked Very Familiar
"Well, in that case, Donna," Savannah said heartily, "I wish you a safe journey and the best of health."
"Thank you, Savannah." Donna smiled; then, she said, imploringly, "Savannah, I didn't know you are with Dylan Sterling."
That night at the house gate, she saw Savannah standing next to a handsome, tall man.
That man was the young master from the Sterling family, the CEO of the Sterling group, which dominated LA's business circle.
She never thought that Savannah's man was a person of high position and noble rank from the leading family in LA.
Savannah bit her lip, a little embarrassed, and didn't explain anything.
Donna smiled at her.
That night, Mr. Sterling stood by Savannah all the time, and his strong body imperceptibly protected her from being hurt by the passionate argument.
However, though Mr. Sterling doted on Savannah, the difference of rank between them was too great. Did that mean I really like her?
Such a powerful man from a noble family should be worthy of a dear daughter from another rich family.
Savannah was just a little model like her cousin Olivia. Would Mr. Sterling be serious and give her the result she wanted?
Donna, who took Savannah as her little sister, couldn't help but remind her, "Savannah, I have some unpalatable advice, but I don't know if I should tell you..."
"Say it, Donna." Savannah could see that Donna really cared about her.
"Your relationship with Mr. Sterling doesn't seem to be public? Does he really love you? If a man treats you just for fun, it doesn't make sense to spoil you now. If so, you must not indulge yourself in it, at least you should protect yourself, and you'll not be too painful when the day of separation comes. Of course, I'm just reminding you."
Savannah was silent for a long time, but under the table, her fingers uneasily twisted the handle of her bag.
Of course, she knew that Donna meant no harm but was friendly to her, fearing she might be hurt.
"I know, Donna," she said, forcing a smile.
Donna nodded with relief, reaching down the table and holding her hand. "Well, take care of yourself, anyway. Don't be like me; the first half of my life's totally ruined."
Savannah nodded solemnly.
The two talked for a while. As it was getting late, Donna had to go back to take care of the baby, so they got up to leave.
Before leaving, Donna wanted to go to the washroom.
"I'll wait for you," Savannah said.
"Okay." Donna smiled and nodded, carrying her bag, and went to the bathroom behind the cafe.
Savannah sat in place, waiting for Donna.
Fifteen minutes later, Donna hadn't come back yet.
Savannah felt a bit strange, with a bad feeling in her heart. She left her seat and went to the bathroom.
She opened the door to the ladies room, but it was empty.
Savannah grew more worried. She walked a few steps down the corridor and then suddenly stopped.
There was a small handbag on the ground around the corner.
It looked very familiar... It was Donna's!
She gasped and ran to pick up the bag. Right, it was the red bag Donna was carrying today.
How did Donna drop her bag here?
Where's she?
Cold shivers ran down Savannah's spine. She felt her way along the corridor before she finally stopped at the back of the bar.
The back door was open, and the door swung slightly as if someone had just gone out.
She opened the door at once. It was the back alley of the cafe, normally empty and very quiet, but now she saw two men in black clothes and dark glasses holding Donna and walking towards a van at the entrance of the alley.
Donna had lost consciousness, her eyes closed tightly, and she didn't resist at all. It seemed that she had passed out.
"What're you doing? Stop! Put her down!" Savannah screamed before she could think more, "somebody! Help! Someone's kidnapping!"
The two men were shocked when they saw Savannah! Then they reacted; the one with bright ginger hair rushed to Savannah, and before Savannah could run away, she was struck by the man on her nape and collapsed to the ground.
"Boss, what should we do with this chick?" The ginger-haired man turned to the older man with tattooed arms, gasping.
Savannah called for help just now. The staff of the cafe seemed to hear her. Footsteps were coming towards the back door.
The tattooed man gritted his teeth, "take this girl with us! She saw us. She can't be left."
"Yes, Sir!" The ginger-haired man carried Savannah on his shoulder, and the two men put Donna and Savannah into the van together, got on the van, and sped away before the staff got out!
***
Savannah woke up in the jolting van.
When she opened her eyes, she found that her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and her mouth was covered with strips of cloth, preventing from shouting.
A quiver of fear went through her. What's going on?
She was knocked out by the man who kidnapped Donna, and then they kidnapped her together?
Where's Donna?
She twisted her body and found Donna tied and gagged like her, but she's not yet conscious.
They were supposed to be in the back of the van now.
Why did these two men kidnap Donna?
Where are they taking them to?
Just then, the voice of the tattooed man came from the driver's seat,
"Miss Sterling…yes, she's tied up, but there's a problem. Sorry, a young woman found us… Luckily, we knocked her out, and she's tied up in our car too. How do you want to deal with her, Miss Sterling? Shall we throw her off or take her together?"
Miss Sterling?
Savannah's heart gave a jump.
Wasn't Miss Sterling Susan?
Well, nobody would kidnap Donna beside Susan!
She must know that Donna would go back to her hometown with Henley, so she got this idea in the extreme of her exasperation!
Susan went out alone these days not to divert herself as old Sterling thought, but to plan a kidnap!
Did she think that by kidnapping Donna, Henley would like to make up with her and stay?
She thought Susan had known her fault after the divorce and wouldn't do wrong again. However, the leopard could not change her spots, and she was still so vicious and domineering!
