Chapter 1 of Went Abroad to Save My Lover, but Instead I was Taken Prisoner by Gangsters

My boyfriend was kidnapped during a group-building trip abroad. He then asked me to take two million dollars to redeem him. But as soon as I arrived at the place, I was pushed into the car. Then I was sent to the kidnappers' nest. My boyfriend took the ransom fawningly. Next, he handed it over to his superiors. 

I couldn’t believe my boyfriend, who pointed at me and said, “Mr. Thaddeus, I give you the money and also this woman. Can I leave now?”

I then realized that my boyfriend tricked me into exchanging my life for his own life. A group of men surrounded me. I could hear their words that they would take turns giving me gifts. I saw the tattoos on the back of their necks. I suddenly felt very familiar. ‘Wasn't that my design?’ I asked in my heart.

***

“Alexandra Amberlyn, what are you glaring at me for? If you stare at me again, I'll let my big brother gouge your eyes out!”

After Eugene Pritchard yelled at me, he turned his head. He nodded to the man with a scar on his face.

“Mr. Thaddeus, this woman is a bitch. She really deserves to be dealt with. You just need to make more effort to train and temper her.”

I looked at my boyfriend, Eugene incredulously. It was hard to believe that such words would come out of his mouth. Eugene and I have been in a relationship since college. We had also discussed our wedding this year. Everyone around us envies us. They said that we were a model couple who went from school uniform to wedding dress. So a few days ago when I received the kidnapper's message, I did not hesitate to borrow two million in cash. I took the money and boarded the plane out of Denmark. I came here just to try to redeem Eugene. But I didn't expect that when I arrived at the designated location, I was stuffed into the van with this money.

After getting out of the car, I found myself in a room in the hideout. My boyfriend just stood in front of me unharmed. Eugene not only took my money to compliment Thaddeus who stood up next to him. 

He even pointed at me and said, “Mr. Thaddeus, this money is for you. I will also give this woman to you. So, can I go?”

At this moment, I finally understood the true colour of my boyfriend. He just took advantage of me just for himself. 

I tore my heart and yelled, “Eugene, are you still a man? To get this two million dollars, I borrowed from all the people around me. I also borrowed half a million dollars on the online lending platform and you treat me like this. Are you still considered a man?”

After hearing this, Thaddeus laughed coldly and said to Eugene, “This woman of yours is a bit noisy, Eugene.”

Eugene immediately understood. He then walked to me, gritted his teeth and said, “Shut up! Don't disturb Mr. Thaddeus, Alexandra.”

“Eugene, I just…”

Before I finished my words, Eugene raised his hand and slapped me in the face. This slap of his was extremely heavy. It made my face instantly swelled up and there was a strong taste of blood in my mouth.

Eugene said, “If you come here now, the people in Denmark won't be able to find you at all, Alexandra. You don't have to pay back the money you owe. I'm helping you, do you understand?”

Eugene had a look of doing me a favour. His expression made me want to vomit in disgust.

“You should serve Mr. Thaddeus well here from now until the end, Alexandra. It's also counted as me finding you a good way out, right?”

“Hold on, Eugene. Who said she's going to follow me?” 

Thaddeus walked over and cupped my chin. He forced me to look straight at him. He had a lecherous smile at the corner of his mouth. He then looked me up and down with a sneer.

“She looks good and pretty. Her body is such good goods. Of course, you have to take it out and sell it to make it worthwhile.”

The thugs next to him said dissatisfied, “Mr. Thaddeus, we have not tasted fresh for a long time. You should let us taste her first, right?”

Thaddeus waved his hand indifferently. “We are all family members, of course, you guys should taste it first.”

Hearing this, my face turned pale. Then I only saw a group of brawny men surrounding me. My hands and feet were bound by thick ropes. It made me couldn't move at all.

“Don't come over! Please, don't come over!” I shouted helplessly. My tears flowed downward like a flood with a broken gate. “How much money do you guys want? I can give you guys money.  For me, as much as you want is absolutely fine. Please, believe me.”
