After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 838

Aveline remained blindfolded throughout, unable to see anything, relying solely on her hearing to make sense of her surroundings.

Her heart sank deeper with each passing moment; the person holding her refused to speak, leaving her clueless about who they were.

Why wouldn’t they speak? Were they afraid she would recognize their voice? If that was the case, then the person must be someone she knew. But who could it be?

During the entire ride, Aveline racked her brain, trying to piece together the situation.

She attempted to communicate with her captor, but he ignored her completely. Eventually, she grew tired of speaking, and the car came to a stop.

She was led out of the car and guided in a specific direction.

The ground beneath her feet was smooth at first, but then she began to feel the uneven texture of bricks underfoot.

She grew more puzzled—where was she?

After some time, someone suddenly gripped her wrist.

“Miss Aveline, I'll be responsible for looking after you from now on," the person said. The voice belonged to a middle-aged woman, who sounded gentle and calm.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Aveline seized the opportunity to ask.

The woman replied, “You can call me Wanda. If you need anything, just let me know.”

However, Wanda ignored all the other questions Aveline had asked.

A wave of helplessness washed over Aveline.

“Hey! I’m here now, so why won’t anyone talk to me? Weren't you supposed to let me see Annie once I arrived? Where is she?” Aveline shouted angrily, her frustration boiling over.

Wanda remained silent. After a moment, an electronic voice suddenly echoed in the room.

They ascended a staircase and entered a room.

Wanda said, "I'll untie your hands, but you must not wander around. There are guards everywhere; you won't be able to escape. If you anger the master, there will be serious consequences."

With that, she untied the ropes around Aveline's wrists.

Aveline pressed her lips together. As soon as her hands were free, she immediately tore off the blindfold. She opened her eyes, but it was still completely dark!

She stared in disbelief, touching her eyes frantically. "What's happening? Why can't I see? What's going on?"

Her voice trembled with fear. She had assumed the blindness was because of the blindfold, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all. Whoever took her had done something to her eyes!

Wanda explained, “To prevent you from escaping, the master has temporarily blinded you. Once you cooperate, he’ll restore your sight.”

“Why are you doing this to me?” Aveline shouted, standing up suddenly, her voice filled with anger. "Who is this master? Why is he treating me like this? Why did he bring me here? What does he want?"
