Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 820

The car roared to life, accelerating quickly down the road.

The little girl in the backseat, named Margot, quickly realized she had been kidnapped. Her mind raced with images of scary men from the TV, the kind who snatched kids away in broad daylight.

Everything around her screamed danger, but Margot managed to keep her cool. She was only three years old, but she'd already seen some tough times. This kidnapping was just another lousy day compared to what she'd been through before. Her mind was now focused on one thing: getting out of this mess.

She figured that kidnappers must have some standards. Surely, they wouldn't want a dull-witted kid. With that thought, she decided to put on a show. She started flailing her chubby legs and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Hey! Who's the genius that thought they could take me? Do you even know who I am? I'm the Treasure Keeper from the heavens, down here to spread the wealth! Let me go! I haven't finished my mission!"

Margot kicked and screamed like a pint-sized tornado, even though her hands were tied and only her legs were free. She made such a fuss that it was a wonder the driver didn't lose their cool. But the driver, the only other person in the car, kept their eyes on the road, ignoring her completely.

Not one to give up easily, Margot kept on yelling, acting every bit the little wild child she'd seen on TV. But the only response she got was the whoosh of the wind outside and the relentless summer buzz of cicadas.

Then, her flailing legs accidentally hit the back of the driver's seat. A sharp voice snapped at her, "Stop squirming!"
