Chapter 2The Kidnapper's Choice: A Second Chance at Letting Go

After Liam and Mia left, I started trying to figure out how to save myself.

Because this time, I wasn't sure if Liam would actually come back.

In our past life, he used the excuse of giving Mia a comforting hug to slip a tracker into her pocket.

So even when the kidnappers moved us, we were able to find Mia immediately using the tracker.

But just now, he seemed to have completely forgotten about that.

I guess, from the very beginning, the only person he ever wanted to save was Mia.

He only reluctantly chose me because of my status as his fiancée, terrified of the public backlash if he didn't.

After all, ours was just an arranged marriage; our relationship was mediocre at best.

But Mia had been by his side through his purest, most innocent years. They were childhood sweethearts, best friends, and soulmates.

It makes sense that the Liam of our past life regretted his choice.

In this life, he finally got what he truly wanted.

I was happy for him.

At the same time, I didn't forget to look for a chance to escape.

I knew that when the kidnappers moved locations, they would pass by an auto repair shop.

The mechanics there were notoriously fierce and brutal fighters.

In my past life, when the kidnappers passed by, they tried to temporarily commandeer the shop. They didn't expect the owner to be a total badass who stubbornly refused.

The two groups grabbed whatever weapons they could find and had a massive brawl.

The kidnappers probably never imagined they'd run into people even more ruthless than they were.

Terrified of escalating the situation further, they eventually scurried away with their tails tucked between their legs.

Later, when the kidnappers were arrested, the owner of the repair shop even came forward to testify against them.
