Chapter 252 Vengeance

• Aria's head throbbed painfully as she opened her heavy eyes, a sharp ache pulsing through her skull. She realized she was lying on a cold, damp floor in a dimly lit, foul-smelling room that looked like a dungeon. Panic seized her as fragmented memories rushed back, bringing a wave of dread. Instinctively, her hand went to her stomach. Then her second concern was Emily.
• With a surge of adrenaline, she got to a sitting position, her anxious gaze scanning the dim space until she spotted Emily lying nearby on the cold floor.
• "Emily! Emily!" Aria called, kneeling down and shaking her friend in an urgent attempt to wake her. Her mind was racing, still unable to fully grasp what had happened to them or how they’d ended up in this filthy place.
