Stella glanced around; there had to be something she could use to cut the ropes.
She spotted something shiny under the table. A blade!
A glint of hope flashed through her eyes as she tried her best to move closer to the table.

Her eyes shot up, and she saw the men who had just left now returning.

“Still thinking of running away? Do you really think you can?”
His laughter was manic.
Stella felt as if she had plunged into a bottomless abyss of despair.
