"Let me go—" Rachael froze when she saw Riftan. But before she could say anything,she felt a prick on her neck.
When she closed her eyes and hissed in pain, Riftan balled his hands into a fist and got up.
"See, didn't I tell you I had something that is very precious to Andrew Volkov?" Robert chuckled. "He will give us anything we want as long as we have her."
Riftan glared at Robert. "You kidnapped her?"
He chuckled and proudly nodded. "Yes, I stole her right under their nose and they couldn't do anything."
Ignoring him, Riftan approached Rachael. He looked at the guards who were holding her. "Let go of her."
The guards looked at Robert. When he gestured them to do the same, they immediately stepped away.
Riftan carefully examined Rachael to make sure she wasn't physically hurt. "Are you okay?"
"I don't know—" Rachael grabbed his arm to steady herself when a wave of giddiness hit her.
